Description of the problem	I purchased a certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee in 2008 with 26k miles. Besides a malfunctioning electronic shifter in 2009 everything has been running great until 1/2/2011. At approximately 6:30pm while driving on the freeway at 65mph all exterior lights and interior lights (except for the map lights) began to flicker and then fail. The lights would come back on for a few seconds and then fail. The problem occurred intermittently over the next 30 miles and persistently worsened until i got home when the lights remained off for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Each time it failed while driving i cycled the switch, cycled the brights and tried anything i could to get the lights to stay on. None of these methods worked. Upon getting home safely i turned the car off and restarted it only to have the same problem after two restarts. I went to bed and tried it in the morning and the lights worked fine for a 70 mile daylight drive to the dealer. Just received word from the dealer that they could not replicate the failure so there is nothing they can do. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and dangerous to others on the road in this condition even if it only happens once every two years.
