Problem with C-Coupe

I don't know if this ever happened to any c-coupe owners, but this
morning I was coming to work doing around 65. All of sudden
whole instrument cluster lighted up (all the warning lights) for 2 seconds
and then the car jerked a little. It went away after 2 seconds and
it became normal. This was second time it happened.
I'm not sure if the dealer can find the problem, since it's not acting weird that often. If it happens again I'm taking it in.

Any of you had this problem? Maybe it did happended and you didn't notice it. Because on the first time, the car didn't even jerk.
Only the instrument cluster lighted up and went away.

Must have been the full moon. Last night I was sitting in the car with the key in the off position. I had the radio on and nothing else. Every minute or so the Teleaid button would flash bright red then go off. Then I pushed the odometer reset button to check the time and all the Teleaid buttons lit up red.

I had the exact thing happen once back in October. The car was about a month old and I was on long drive (CT-ME) when it happened. I had a little less then 1/4 of a tank of gas left and the car bucked and all the lights came on. It happened very fast, and the car never acted up again. I assumed it was due to some crude in the gas tank. It was the first time that I ran it so low. I have since run the car until the light came on, with no problems. It may have been completely unrealated to the fuel, but it has not happened again.

I think the #7 is the problem that I'm having too.
Do you know whether he got it fixed or not?
