2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, RUNNINNG LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING. AT THE SAME TIME USUALLY THE INSTRUMENT GUAGES ALSO STOP WORKING. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME WE HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO BE FIXED. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHER VEHICLES AND IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY COULD BE WORKING FINE AND GO OUT BETWEEN 1 PLACE AND ANOTHER. WE HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE, HAD PEOPLE IN OTHER VEHICLES YELL AT US AND ALMOST BEEN HIT WHILE TURNING LEFT DUE TO LACK OF WORKING SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS RE-OCURRING PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY. *TR
