Default dash warnings lights - ECU Issue?

Hey Everyone,
I have a 2015 Wrangler and have been experiencing a strange issue.

Been to 3 dealerships and they have all said they have never seen/heard of this happening. every time I go in they hold the Jeep for the day, then say they found a part that was causing errors that may have caused this issue. Last time was an O2 sensor that was replaced.

while driving i hear a couple rings from my dash, only to see that a couple of the dash warning lights are flashing. Also my speedometer drops down to 0.

This is starting to occur more frequently. This past Thursday, I experienced this issue twice on my drive to work (approx. a 30 min drive), and again once on my way back home.

one occurrence actually also killed power to my radio. It was on playing music, then just shut off when the dash lights started flashing and speedo dropped to 0. the radio didn't even display the time.

sometimes the issue lasts only 2 seconds, but once I pulled over for about a minute and was able to record the issue.

you can hit the link below to watch the 30 sec video of the issue.

Has anyone seen this before / any ideas?

I have been bringing my Jeep in on a weekly/bi-weekly basis since August. I have another appointment next week. My Jeep is still under warranty, but I'm concerned this will carry on until I am out of warranty, which they will then find the issue to be same $3000 fix.

any advice on this matter would be a great help.

Thanks all.https://goo.gl/photos/yza6dyZhuFP3nLLw8

Interesting.. Definitely sounds like a computer issue. Could be the TIPM or the ECU..
If you dont get a reply soon I will post your question on a Bigger forum and see what comes up..

Posted the question and got loose ground wire clamp on battery.. while the Jeep is running have someone inside watching for lights and another person wiggling wires around the battery .. if lights come on you know where the problem is. Tapping the TIPM would be the next thing to try.

Give us more information on what these lights are, there very hard to see on the video like is it the engine warning light or something else? The red one what is it and the yellow one what is it? You show u have your 4 way flashers on they make a noise too so turn then off if your stop and let us know so we don't get it mixed up.Were you moving or just revving up the motor when the video was taken showing the speedometer not showing movement? What code do you show?
