The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.
While my wife was driving at night at 70mph, the left light selector knob near your left knee was set from the usual "Auto" position to the "0" position. She was trying to figure how to make the dash and radio lights brighter at night while waiting for me thus turning this selector knob that did make the dash brighter and not affecting the outside vehicle lights. When I got into the car and she was driving, she could not activate the high beam lever to stay permanently "on" by pushing the level forward as usual. Pulling the lever back engaged the high beams as long as you pulled the lever back but could not active them permanently on by pushing the lever forward. As I was the passenger, I went into the Uconnect panel menu to the "Light Section" and un-checked the "Running Lights" green check mark and all the lights WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING ! No head lights, no running lights, no rear lights, no outside vehicle lights while driving 70 miles per hour at pitch dark. Is this supposed to happen. I noticed in the owners manual that the Canadian version did not have this "0" position. Bottom line: Are you supposed to be able to turn off all exterior lights while driving at night completely off? Should I have gotten a WARNING of "This function is not available while the vehicle is in motion"?

When making left or right turn using the turn signal, the headlight related to that turn signal goes off. This happens when the headlight control is set on "auto" for the headlight to come on at dusk. This is an extremely hazardous condition not only for on coming traffic but also for the driver because of elimination of lighted visibility to the area turning into. Jeep mechanics have repeatedly voiced excuses for a hazardous design flaw which needs to be recalled and corrected. Please Please Please research and take steps to remedy the issue. I'm fearful of not only receiving a ticket but also because of the hazard this condition presents. William Peterson
The Adaptive High Beams have stopped working on my Grand Jeep Cherokee L. When you push the lever forward, it should engage the high beams, but it does not. The only way to use the high beams is to pull the lever back (flicker action) and hold it. This is a dangerous way to drive without having high beams.
