GEN5 dash cluster goes out on hard acceleration

[16vipersrt10]

I purchased my 2016 viper this past February. I had it out on the highway the other day, 1st i went over rough road at around 65-75mph, and my tire low light was blinking, than my traction control light came on dash, and switched to track mode suspension. I couldn't turn traction back on, or switch to street mode. I made another hard pull, than the entire dash went out, than came back on, car ran normal during all of this, no performance issues. Does anyone have a clue? When i turned off car, and restarted, everything went back to normal
Thank you

double check your battery cables are tight. In my experience with vipers, they are very touchy with batteries. Warning lights and a glitchy dash were the first signs I noticed even though it seemed to run fine. If your on the original battery, 4 years is getting close for time to replace it anyways.

Ill check connections, i dont know how old battery is, just got it, but battery tender always shows good, and 14+ volts on srt gauge.
Thank you

Was gonna say the same. Even though I'm "green" on a tender, I'm going to replace my 7 year old battery - in my case, it's key fob detection. These cars tend to run OK, all the other electrical stuff gets weird.

Check voltage with the eng off, it should be close to 12.5 volts. The 14+ volts is a charging voltage.

Check the ground wire on the passenger side of the motor going to the frame by the motor mount. Make sure it's tight.

That is a good catch, to take that one step further, the facrory termination to the block can be can be improved there is an unused threaded hole below the motor mount.

I learned the hard way with this one......I blew out 2 alternators within a week before I found it.

One of the symptoms was the dash went out under WOT.
