| Description of the problem | This has happened a lot. While driving all the intrument lights will flash, causing the ac/heater to turn off and on, headlights to go off, and traction control to turn off. Twice recently the vehicle has shifted itself into reverse with the gear selector still in drive. I have taken it to a shop and they went through the entire electrical system and could not find a source for this problem. All jeep owners i have talked with (over 30) have this exact same issue. This is extremely unsafe and jeep needs to be held responsible. |
