My Ford Focus is acting possesed....It can drive perfect for a week then all of a sudden all the dash lights come on, all the gauges go to zero, but it still is driveable. It stops just as fast as it started. Now here is a little history on the car....Bought it with not even 25,000 miles and it is a salvaged title. It didn't start acting up 'til about 2 weeks after I got it. My hubby tried changing a few different parts out and sometimes it would take a week or two to see the problem again. We contacted the seller, but lets just say we got nowhere. My husband wants to just get rid of the car, but it still drives fine. Can someone help me?

I would start by having the body control module (BCM) checked. It could have been damaged in the accident.
