| Description of the problem | 1. At night on january 17, 2008 at 10:30 in the evening, my family an i were driving approximately 45 mph down a us highway in our 2007 jeep jk wrangler 4-door. 2. Without warning of any type, all of the jeep's power shut off - headlights, engine, dash lights, everything electrical shut off. The vehicle's power came back on in approximately 2-3 seconds. Upon the electrical power returning on, all of the dashes warning lights flashed on for a few seconds. The dash warning lights for the esp, traction control and mil (malfunction indicator light) remained on until i drove home (about 2 miles). 3. When home, i attempted to restart the car to see if the error warning lights would remain in - the mil was the only light that remained on. I will call the dealership tomorrow for diagnostic troubleshooting. However, this was an extremely frightening experience since it was snowing and i lost power without warning on an ice covered road. I checked the jeep website with my vin number, and according to the website there are no recalls outstanding for my vehicle. |
