2016 Trailhawk Dash and UConnect Flicker Off/On
Something new started today on my '16 TH. After completing Imogene Pass with no problems, the dash and Uconnect started flickering off then on randomly during the 5-hr drive back to Denver. First noticed music randomly cut out then back on. At first I thought it was the USB to iPhone connection but same thing occurred after I switched to bluetooth. Then I caught the digital dashboard blink out the same time music stopped. Happened at least 20 times over course of 5 hours. Tempted to take it to the dealer but worried that could be a long, drawn out troubleshooting with no results. Anybody else experience this?

I have a 2016 Cherokee Latitude and am experiencing the same problem with the additional issue of an intermittent "service tire pressure system," "service parking break," and "service airbag" notification. I took it back to the dealership I bought it from (a little over a month ago) and they took it to the Jeep dealership. I have been told it is an issue with the ECM/PCM and they are replacing it under warranty. I should be getting it back later this week and hopefully it will be squared away. Did you get yours fixed?

So turns out, in my situation, it was not any issue with the vehicle itself. The previous owner had an aftermarket gps tracker installed in the vehicle, poorly, and it was causing a short with the other systems. They removed the tracker and all seems well.
