An update........My wife just called and said that she bipassed the exit ramp and is in an area of downtown near the exit ramp on a flat surface road where we believe there is an area with a ton of radio/tv/satellite frequency in the area and as usual, the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree.....I am talking to her as we speak. We now definitely believe it has something to do with a magenetic/electrical surge because of the intense radio/tv/satellite frequency in the area.
