    I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning…

    Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been…
