From owner reports, verbatim
While driving to work before daylight the jeep lost all electrical power and cut all lights inside and outside so I couldn't see. There were no other lights to guide me to a pull off. I almost hit a concrete barrier because of this. I just got this vehicle back from replacing the hybrid battery from a recall. There are no check engine lights on and I was able once stopped to restart in gas mode only.
