So I've had my 09 GT for about 6 months now and recently, and mostly at startup, my gauges (with the exception of my fuel gauge) just die with the odometer reading -------- and every light on. After a little while the problem fixes itself but occasionally it will flicker on and off while driving. Any help?

Sounds like it may be a ground problem.

Suggest having a dealer check the problem, since the car should still be under warranty.

Sounds like the problem may be caused by the SJB(smart junction box). It's located behind the kick panel in the passenger's side footwell. Water leaking onto it is the most common culprit. Check if the carpet is wet or damp in that area(Push down hard on the carpet to check). If so, then the SJB may have been damaged.
