I'm ready to drive this thing off a cliff...
So this just started yesterday on my way home from the GF's place. I'm diving then all of a sudden I get the warning DING then my ABS light comes on, the red BRAKE light goes on and the traction control icon lights up (all at the same time). When this happens my speedo also dies along with my radio but the engine and tac are fine. It will do this over and over and over again and it's driving me nuts. On the way home tonight, my lights would dim everytime this would happen and now my check engine light is on. WTF!!!!!!!!
I live in FL so there are no cliffs for me to drive this thing off of. I may just drive it into the ocean I am so pissed.
It's going to the dealer first thing in the morning.

Its a guess but it sounds like you are loosing voltage. Either your battery has an intermittent short, you have a loose power cable, or your alternator is dying.

Dropped it off at the dealer this morning. Will have to wait and see what they say.
Nothing like driving 20 minutes tot he dealer with all your lights flashing and the damn DING DING DING going off constantly!!
My guess is that its some kind of short or a problem with the alternator.

Okay now...........breathe. Everything is under warranty so just treat it for what it is........it's your Jeep not a tumor.....
"It's not a tumor". Just get it fixed. It's probably a minor issue - and if it's not, it's under warranty. You'll likely have REAL problems someday with family health issues or relationship issues that will make your ding, ding ding inconvenience seem trivial.
