Intermittently all the lights in the dash will go out for approximately two seconds, then come back on. During this period of time, I have nothing on the dash, no speedometer, turn signals, eyesight, radio, etc. To me this is a safety hazard. It happens, so fast that I do not have time to see if my headlights outside of the vehicle are functioning correctly or not, so that I am being seen by other motorists. It has happened on two occasions when I hit a pothole. My dealership has not been able to re-create this problem. I feel it is a short in the dash. It is always when I am driving, but it never lasts more than 2-3 seconds and the dealer tells me to "bring it in while it's happening". This happens every few weeks and has happened since I purchased the vehicle.
