I was driving at approximately 65mph. On the highway. All of a sudden, my instrument panel started to flicker( the lights) as well as my headlights. Then all gauges began to abruptly malfunction. Including: The speedometer's needle started spinning 360 degrees over and over. Forwards and backwards. The fuel gauge went to E. the temp. Gauge went to coolest indication. It continued extreme malfunction all the way to my destination. When I stopped, turned off the vehicle, then restarted, the gauges ( except speedometer) returned to normal function. I performed MINIdiagnostic utilizing the (reset) mileage tab. It failed to fix the problem. Have no way of knowing my speed going on 6 months now. Very nerve racking, and dangerous.

The accelerator sticks, and excessive force is sometimes needed to accelerate. This occurred the other day and caused the vehicle to jump due to rapid acceleration. This defect could cause accidents due to drivers being unprepared for the sudden jump of the vehicle.
