I have a serious problem. At times, the instrument cluster including speedo and tach, and most electrics, including brake lights, turn signals, windows, sunroof, etc. all stop at once. The headlights still work, and the radio and radio backlight also work. The only way to get them back is to turn off the car, then restart.
One other thing, before this occurred, usually a spurious error message would appear on the message display.
It happened several times within two days, and we took it to the dealer. It happened once for them, but they shut it off and restarted, and it hasn't happened since. They won't replace anything until they can get a diagnostic when it's occurring. The only stored diagnostic is for the SRS.
This is now the third day that they have had the car. They have been driving it a couple of hours a day to get it to reproduce again, but it hasn't. They have said that they can't replace a part until they have a diagnostic because they won't get the warranty reimbursement.
Has anyone see this? Any ideas?
