Description of the problem	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.
