sounds like it could be a battery problem, or even an alternator problem.

battery is pretty new about 7 months old.. alternator not sure car has 70000 miles on it. but the car doesnt turn off atall.. the radio turns off and turns right back on like it was glitch or something, same thing with the instrument cluster panel, while driving say i am driving at 70mph it will turn off the and the guage will go back down to 60mph and it will come back on real quick.

btw how can you tell if it an alternator problem..
while cranking the car, the car starts without any problem atall..

sometimes when an alternator still works but is going bad, it can make certain electronics go haywire.

it doesnt happen when you hit a slight bump or anything does it?

Check the fuses, I had a problem very similar to that one, but only my radio went out.
