The last clip of that Jeep, my first suspect would be whatever the thing is that the driver is trying to operate. Verify that is good and not causing a near-short circuit (drawing way too much current but just not enough to instantly pop the fuse). The next thing to look for would be a bad ground. It looks like something is trying to draw a decent amount of current, the bad ground has too much resistance, so the voltage drops to where everything shuts off (including the thing trying to draw a decent amount of current, or the computer controlling it), then the reduced load allows the voltage to recover, everything powers up again, and the whole cycle starts over again. If all grounds are in order the next suspect would be a bad electrical connection in general that is common to all affected circuits.

Its parked until its fixed. If the engine temperature goes up passed normal. I'm stopping immediately to find out why and fix it. Im cheap and lazy. Not stupid.

I'm divided on the opinion but when these deathtraps comes throught the door, the mechanics should be able to "seize" the car and only allow a towing truck to take it away if the customer declines the fix. But it might get abused by dishonest shops.... The US should take after Sweden, mandatory inspection every year in every state and if your car is deemed to unsafe to drive, you hand over the keys and get a big sticker on the windshield (called spanish flag) and you're only allowed to take it away on a trailer or tow truck.

Only happened in US built engines? My Korean built Kia 2.4 GDI has over 200000km with no issues, uses a little oil, has done since day 1.
