A friend was driving my truck in a residential neighborhood. He was only going 20 mph when the gas light came on but the needle said it had half a tank. All of a sudden the radio locked up and all the needles on the dash started going crazy all the emblems on the dash lite up. We parked and turned off the truck. As soon as we went to turn back we had just started it not even 3 minutes later all of the gauges and lights on the truck it started freaking out again and now the driver side mirror and window control would no longer work. Earlier that day I had taken it in a reputable shop to get the truck smogged and get it checked out. The truck passed smog and they said the truck had no problems. This was the first time it had ever done anything like this.
