The dash warning lights all come on and the speedometer and gas gauge go to zero. I have had the car since September 2017 and it only had one previous owner! this is a scary problem because the car will not accelerate when this occurs. Has anyone had this problem and figured out how to fix? also there's a loud knocking noise sometimes that sounds like is coming from under the dashboard. This is not the first or even tenth time this has happened. To many to remember all the dates!.
