VEHICLE IS DRIVING FINE ON HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN AIRBAG LIGHT, THEN SEATBELT LIGHT. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON AND ALL DIALS (SPEEDOMETER, OIL GAUGE, TEMP GAUGE, RPM GAUGE) ARE ALL AT ZERO WHILE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY. ALSO, PERIODICALLY THE CAR WILL START AND IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER WAITING A DAY, IT WILL START UP FINE AND THEN THE NEXT TIME, WILL START THEN STOP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO LUCK FINDING ANY ISSUES. WE JUST KEEP GETTING CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT FINDING ANYTHING. *TR
