| Description of the problem | Dashboard lights will randomly start to flash, air conditioning/heating system loses power, and speedometer, tachometer fluctuates erratically. This happens every so often, without warning. Thought it was the remote starter, but then it started happening without using the remote starter. It appears that many, many people have had this issue and no recalls have been issued. Dealer states they "think" it might be something to do with the ignition, key, ? What that know. They asked me specific questions related to "check engine light" and if the vehicle lost power. It does not lose power, but simply lights flash and it is scary. One time, the headlights flashed off and on until i pulled over and shut engine off and restarted. Doesn't always happen, but very scary when it does. Hoping this doesn't lead to a more dangerous issue.... Jeep needs to get on this issue as mine is, without a doubt, not an isolated incident! |
