What owners wrote
230am on interstate 25, no road lighting, no traffic nearby. By ourselves, four of us on the way to the airport. Set cruise control to 75MPH. Seconds later all lights including dashboard went out. In total dark ness. Guessed side of road. Managed to stop car. Turned off, back on, all restored. We actually grazed an overpass which I have attached photos. We four came near death. Scared to drive car. Just had "patch" work done at nearby dealership to repair ABS and traction lightss that were on. Please advise.
Started jeep and all three lights presented on the panel (electronic throttle, electronic stability control, malfunction indicator light). Attempt to drive and would not move past 2krpm and commenced "stuttering" and then stalled. Had car towed to mechanic (mpg automotive and fernie's auto) to confirm failures.
