Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

Headlights and dash lights are turning off when we take a right turn and use the blinker. This does not happen on every right turn only occasionally. We have turned the vehicle into Jeep 5 times to be fixed and the issue continues to happen. Jeep has been unable to make car do this when they have the vehicle in for repairs but have replaced several parts on the vehicle. Each time they return the vehicle to us, within two weeks the problem starts again. Each time, the headlights go out longer and longer and are harder to get to turn on.

Purchased brand new 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4. Right from the get go, oncoming cars would flash us at night. I learned later that the 06 low beams are 60% brighter than the 05 model. I have complained to sourg Dodge in goshen in. They are completely worthless. Since then I've been pulled over twice and last night was ran completely off the road. I turned my lights on and had a friend drive past me. He verified. The lights are blinding. I took my ticket to sorg Dodge. No help, I'm on my own. Unless of course I want to purchase new lights. No costumer service what so ever. Don't waste your money for poor quality and poor service. This is the lowest priced SUV for a reason.

The daytime running lights on 2006 Grand Cherokee vehicles is much too strong and blinding, leaving surrounding drivers potentially less apt to react safely to changing driving conditions. These are drl lights, not normal or high beams. All vehicles are the same, I have verified.
