2007 grand cherokee overland 3.0l diesel. For the past year or so the lights on the dash will all come on similar to when the car is first started. Recently the speedometer and tach will shut off as well. If this were a gas engine the engine would probably also stall. Numerous times at the dealer no change. I believe this related to the 2008 grand cherokee recall. *tr
