Default what the heck is going on with my Grand sport

I have a 2010 Grand Sport with 1500 miles on it. The last three time I have driven it, the radio/nav goes black, the dash goes haywire, and the tire and lock icon illuminate on the dash.

within 3-5 seconds it comes back to life except the tire icon and lock icon by the temp gauge stay on. Tires and pressures are fine.

let it sit and start it up and it seems fine....

Any ideas before I head back to the dealer?

Sorry to hear this...I hate to sound like a broken record on CF but it really sounds like the weirdness that happens when your battery is dying. Especially the dash going off! Is it starting normally?

Have a friend with an Z06 09 900 miles and it was doing the same thing, has been to dealer 4 times and factory tech flew in and they never found it. Dealer is replacing car with new 11 Z06

It starts fine, funny thing though one time the doors wouldnt open but the windo indexed. I had to go in with the key through the rear lid and unlock the door but the car started right up.

when my lights and nav went hay wire I just detached the battery for ten minutes then reattached it and it reset everything back to normal. Then you will just have to reindex your windows. Idk if it will work with your problem though

Sorry for your problem, it's a bummer. We all pay for the over reliance on electrons........ Hope it turns out to be a simple fix.
