THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. STABILTRAK ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON MY HUD. CLUSTER AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED OFF. STOPPED. EVERYTHING FLASHED BACK ON AND RADIO PRESETS WERE ALL GONE. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HAPPENING OR IF IT IS A FROZEN SENSOR, SINCE IT HAS BEEN BELOW 32 DEGREES HERE.
