| While driving at night. headlights go off and on. almost every night. no one knows why it's doing this. sometimes for 3 to 5 seconds. we need a recall on this, to find out why this is happening. jeep dealers don't have answers for us, but they can charge us $ 75 for nothing. some day someone is going to get hurt when lights don't come back on. don't say we didn't warn you. thanks, lee | |||
