When randomly driving all the lights on the dashboard go crazy, the fuel gauge goes to empty even when it's a full tank, the car loses power and the engine starts to stall. . . It's very scary because where I drive there are busy highways and I'm scared too death I'm going to get killed or kill someone.
While driving gauges randomly go to zero, all warning lights come on, sometimes engine stalls for one second and then restarts, then gauges go back to normal. Happened once in a while a year ago, now happens daily. Took to dealer last year and they could not replicate problem. Have seen this issue on various internet sites including this one but with no solutions. Lots of suggestions - fuses, battery wires, battery, ignition switch - but nothing definitive. Car is very dangerous, I'm just lucky it hasn't stalled at the wrong time. Friend with a Dodge has same problem and his dealer can't fix either.
