problem #5

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 117,000 miles
Noticed that the head lights would automatically come on while the car was in park and shut off (headlight switch on auto) the radio controls on the steering wheel would work once in awhile the same for the cruise controls plus the horn does not work at all know did work when I bought it in April 06. I noticed when I played with the tilt steering something is would work some wouldn't. I believe that this might affect the airbag from deploying if in a wreck.

: the contact stated the plastic covering on both headlights became progressively more fogged and discolored to the point of being nearly opaque. This caused the intensity of the headlights to diminish. A service dealer was contacted, and determined nothing could be done to fix the problem. Updated 12/1/2006 -
