WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/SCREEN LIT UP WITH THE FOLLOWING: CEL ON ABS/BRAKE LIGHTS ON SERVICE PARKING BRAKE ON 4X4 SYSTEM DISABLED ODOMETER FLASHING UPON ALL THOSE MESSAGES/LIGHTS COMING ON WE LOST ALL POWER STEERING CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE INTERACTION INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. ONCE SAFELY PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN TO THE SAME MESSAGES/LIGHTS TURNING ON. WE REGAINED POWER STEERING AFTER WE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON BUT ALL OTHER ISSUES PERSISTED. CALLED FOR A TOW BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT WAS A BAD ABS MODULE. I AM FILING A SAFETY COMPLAINT FOR POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN IF AN ABS MODULE HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE 2014 CHEROKEE THIS CAN POSE A SERIOUS HAZARD TO ALL VEHICLE OPERATORS. *TR
