As i was driving home from work at 3am, all the lights on the dashboard lit up and went back to normal. this occurred 5 times within a 30 minute trip. at the same time the seat warmer turned off, my speakers were not working properly. heat wasn't working properly. after the second time it happened i turned radio off, kept seat warmer off, and turned off heat but it happened again three times after that. in between these 5 incidents, there was one time that all the lights on my instrument panel went off completely. the only thing that was illuminated was the gear i was in. it was a very scary experience especially when you are driving on a highway and cannot see your speed. all the lights flashed on went back to normal when i drove the car again the following 2 days. one time per day only. my car currently has a recall on my ignition but no part has yet been released in order to switch out the defected part. i am thinking maybe their is a correlation between the defected part and the electrical issues? *tr

This complaint is part of an ongoing recall (p41). we have not had an incident with the vehicle. however, i received a recall notice in august about the ignition issue. it is now 6 months later and chrysler still has no information about when the dealerships will have the part available to correct the problem. this is unacceptable. its my opinion that the recall notice was sent to satisfy lawyers in case someone is killed while driving this vehicle, as in, "we sent a recall notice to make you aware of the problem". how long does chrysler have to address this issue before the government gets involved? *tr

On my way home from work after dark, i experienced a loss of head lights, dash power and heating traveling at a high rate of speed down the interstate. earlier that morning on my way to work, the dash quit working 4 times. all gauges stop working and drop to zero and the heat/ac quits. i have experienced my head lights turning off/losing power on 3 separate occasions. i am able to switch them from automatic to on and they work. once my dash "flickers" and returns to normal, the engine light, traction light and esp bas light stay on. this has become a daily malfunction that occurs on my way to and from work. the first time this occurred in september of 2014, i drove straight to auto zone and bought a brand new battery. they tested the battery and said i needed a new one. they installed a new battery and connected power to the jeep while they changed it. i figured a bad battery was the issue and it was now fixed. a couple days later, i began experiencing a loss power to my dash again. i have taken my jeep to 3 different jeep dealerships and they cannot find anything wrong but an ignition switch or bad battery. they all told me that they had not received the ignition switch part for the recall but i will received a notice in the mail when they do. one jeep dealership contacted auto zone and told them the only thing they could find wrong with it was the battery. i went back to auto zone and they replaced my battery. i have had my alternator checked several times and it tested good. this defect/malfunction is dangerous and a hazard to my life as well as other motorist. i am very dissatisfied with jeep's handling of the situation and long await period of the recall part. *tr

Mine is doing the same as the rest! and no help from a dealer or anyone! about a month and a half ago i was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. in the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. remembering the recall notice, the parts i can't get, and the fact i was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, i realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). so as i drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. the next day on my way home it started doing it again. now when i drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, i also notice if i take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. the last straw was this last weekend, i was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and i lost all power to everything , not wanting to lose control, i grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and i literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as i'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! i've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. after it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than chrysler is admitting. my next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful! *tr
