1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

All of the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine still runs. This only happens when the car is on, however it can happen while in motion or in park. . But I do not see a pattern beyond that (like when it rains or is humid). I have tried to make it happen by juggling my ignition because I know that is a thing, but that never initiates the problem.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2013

While driving down the road, the rpm started floating and the Jeep started hesitating like it was out of gas. It was happening every once in awhile, now it's constantly and it's getting horrible gas mileage. Here recently, the interior lights on the ac/heat part have went out and the time part on the radio started lighting up like a heater and is extremely hot but the radio still plays.
