Default Power Trip?

Hello all!
I run a 2012 JKU and have had it for about 10 months now.

Has anyone here experienced their power flickering off? What is happening is my gauges all drop to zero for a second, the dash light with the curves under a car illuminates, my radio drops out and I hear a quick "ding" like a seatbelt or ignition bell. It all happens real quick and is back to normal in a second or 2.
Its new and I'm experiencing it at random. One day nothing and the next day its five times in a 8 mile stretch.
I haven't been able to identify any scenario. I am noticing that my memory or my stereo and devices wired strait to the battery don't seem to loose power.
Any ideas? I'm not sure where to even start.

Ive read a couple posts on here about dash lights and head lights flickering. I'm wondering if theres something loose in the main power block. I think it's called tpim? We had a brand new Saturn Aura that did the same thing. They ended up replacing the power block. Try to take a pic or video of it happening for proof. Also grasp you battery cable terminals and try to twist, if they move that could be the issue.
