Power Door Locks Not Working Problems of Jeep Cherokee

Several times while I was driving the digital dash display went blank, red "battery" indicator came on, "no bus" fault message appeared, the headlights went off, the turn signal did not work, radio did not work, door locks would not work (lock/unlock). The safety issue is to lose function of headlights and turn signal while driving. Also if a crash were to occur, I may not be able to exit my vehicle in an emergency, due to not being able to unlock my doors. Between August 27, 2015 and September 14, 2015 this occurred four (4) separate times. The vehicle was turned in for service each time this occurred. The problem is intermittent, during driving it can come and go. Service department at authorized Jeep dealer stated that they do not have any instrumentation to troubleshoot can bus and they can not duplicate the issue. I would pull over into a safe area and take photos of the dash showing the faults. Service department can only reset faults as displayed on a tablet when plugged into the vehicle. Again dealer has no tools to look up bus problems, electrical contact issue, etc.

I believer the electrical problems I have experienced with my Jeep Cherokee sport 2000 4. 0l v6 has the potential to be come a threat if such wires should create a fire of some sort. . . For years the only way to operate the windows on the vehicle is by drivers side controls, the passenger cannot operate the window with their control. Strange thing, is if on the divers side you hit the automatic door lock switch back and fourth the passenger can gain control of the window operation ie up/down, only on a temporary basis. The time frame of passenger operation is very short. . . The other issue is the door locks, the lights go on and off when using the fob to lock and unlock, and sometimes the locks work and you hear the click of them locking. Other times the lights will flash but the door locks will not operate at all, and if your sitting in the Jeep and hit the locks you can hear a click but not in the doors but in the headliner just about where the dome light is. . . I feel all of these electrical issues are concerning, and should be something Jeep corp should take seriously. . . . . Problems in electrical system could be a potential fire hazard. . . .
