Dash cluster displays check engine, check transmission, and traction control lights. The trouble indicators illuminate, and the vehicle will not accelerate normally. After turning off and restarting vehicle may or may not drive normal with trouble indicators still lit. After shutting off and restarting sometimes the indicators are off and the vehicle drives normally for some time and then the problem returns. This happens while driving and does not allow the driver to accelerate normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dash cluster was replaced and I was informed they knew of the problem with the cluster. The problem has reoccurred a few months later.
