Claim that's it's dangerous cause you can't see your speed or rpms (play it up a bit lol).

My car did this for like a month. I scheduled a trip to the dealership for the next week. It didn't do it at all that week and hasn't done it since.

The dealer at the time of scheduling suggested that it might be something with the Passkey... or some **** that is in the actual turn key part of the ignition. I dunno.

All I know is that I played around with the ECU and pushed on the connectors and it hasn't done it since.

it IS scary and frustrating when it does it though.

You should take care of that soon. I'm pretty sure that the law in NY is 18k miles or under for lemon law to work so definatly check your state.

Check your run crank relay in the fuse box under the hood.
Make sure it is seated properly. Pull it out and inspect the legs on the relay for burning hot spots anything that looks like it was arcing.
This relay feed all the stuff you were talking about.
from there it goes to the bcm check for a loose connection on the fuse box connectors as well.
Also check the fuses that they are not lose or not seated properly.

These symptoms you describe is normally cause by a heated connection or component because when it cools down it comes back on,

My guess though will be the BCM module ,but you cant check it.
