We were on the shoulder in heavy traffic on I-70 east of Loveland Pass in Colorado with light trailer in tow, Dealer reports it could not reproduce the problem. Vehicle was inspected by dealer service department. No symptoms or warning lamps came on prior to stalling. Engine temperature gauge was in normal range. Fuel level was between quarter and half tank. So, no warning beforehand.

My vehicle has suddenly shown warning lights for brake light out, head light out, both turn signals out, running lights out. Basically saying all my lights suddenly burnt out. There is a recall on 2017 Jeep renegades for the exact problem I’m having but it doesn’t show my vehicle included, it says no unrepaired recalls. They have determined this can cause an accident as the lights are not really out, and so the driver has no idea when the lights actually do go out. This is dangerous
