sb-732-005. This service bulletin states the power loss last just a moment and the dash guages come back on but the gauges only come back on if the ignition key is turned off for a few seconds. Then you must re-start the vehicle to get the dash gauge cluster to work.

We would like the nhtsa to issue a manditory recall and order the manufacturer to repair all these vehicles at the manufacturers expense. This is defentently an electrial enginering probelm of this manufacturer.
