With a little investigation I found another thread in the JK-Forum with a solution to this problem, https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-electrical-lighting-sound-systems-13/tsb-18-036-06-awesome-1224/.

All of the details are there.

I think you have to find a, willing, priest to swim through it.

Add me to the list of electrical shutdowns, same sceanrio I was driving down the highway at 75Mph when the dash lights up like Chistmas and i'm just coasting, just I as start to head to the shoulder of the road the JK springs back to life like nothing has happened. Hopefully the TSB or preferably a loose fuse or something can be found. I would hate to be on solo adventure 60 miles or more out and have this problem come back permantely.

Less than two hours into my first offraod trip the Check engine light came on and turned my JK into a four cylinder. I had the deeler check and they ended up repairing the wiring harness to make my four cylinder JK a Six again

Mine would shut off at low RPM and there where little annoying things like the "lane change" option on the turn signal wouldn't work some of the time.
also there was "lifter" noise at 2K RPM
I told the dealer at my first oil change and mentioned the TSB Nov.18
They flashed the computer and the thing runs a WHOLE lot better,
there seams to be more power at acceleration.
There is a big improvement to the way it "feals"

The same thing happend to me. I had just pulled out of my drive way and everything turned off and then came back on along with the battery light. I went to the gas station to get gas ,when I started it back up the light was out. I also have been hearing a weird noise coming from under the jeep, I brought it to the dealer and there checking it out now. I will let every one know what the results were when I get it back.

scheuled to get mine done tomorrow. I heard it helps out on the mpg too. I sure as hell hope so! I drove a 200 mi trip this weekend. Granted i had the top and doors off, but it was all highway driving and I got 14 mpg!!! its also very sluggish at low rpms. Doesnt pick up till around 2000 and you can really feel it, it almost feels asleep till 2000 rpms. Also had the dieing then coming back to life senerio happen to me once.

Default Weird Problem at 2500 miles.

Im really glad to hear Im not alone, this morning going down the freeway at
45-50 in so. cal traffic. For about 2 sec everything on the dash lit up like a christmas tree, engine died, started up all by its self. I started to change lanes to pull over. All went back to normal, engine started up just like nothing had happened. I glad to see there is a fix.

I printed off the tech bulletin will take it to the dealer ASAP.
