| Description of the problem | When driving home at night at approximately 65 miles per hour all the dashboard warning lights came on, then the dashboard went blank and shortly after that the headlights went off. After hitting the brakes the dashboard and headlights came back on, the headlights were on auto. I have researched the internet and it appears that jeep has a problem with this on their 2005 jeeps and is a serious problem that could cause serious injuries or deaths if not fixed. |
