Description of the problem	I was driving on california state route 20 eastbound in the curves past the omega rest stop, at 6:00 am, when all of the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The instrument lights went out, and several seconds later illuminated again, they when out again and illuminated a third time, at which point the headlights on the car shut off. It was a very frightening event. I was able to flick the steering wheel headlight control and the lights came back on. I immediately took my foot off of the gas when the headlights went out, because i was in a curve section of a mountain highway. Luckily, a pull out was a quarter mile ahead and i was able to get off the road. I called aaa roadside assistance and they dispatched a tow truck to tow the car back to grass valley/nevada city. Two warning lights remained on the dash until the lights were turned off and the car towed. A light on the upper right with a car and a swag and a light in middle. Abs ? At the local repair shop, they found no codes to indicate any type of failure. The car has been taken since to magnussen's jeep dealer in auburn, california and they have been unable to detect any problem. A similar event happened to my husband in 2008 approximately and the repair facility was unable to determine a problem. I have worked in truckee, ca and have commuted to work since 2001 on this road in several vehicles( (including two other jeeps). I have never had a similar incident and i believe it is a serious safety issue. When the repair facility was unable to detect a problem, my husband and i began looking into the problem on this website and others and believe that our incident is not unique and reflects a substantial defect with this vehicle. Additionally, our compound low gear has not worked since the last recall was performed at the jeep dealer in roseville, ca
