The rig is experiencing a major power loss, could be a battery, cables, power distribution box, any number of grounds. I suggest you find a good independent shop and have them check it out, cause if this keeps up you will possibly loose all programming and that can result in at least a reflash if not total replacement of ECM the BCM and a number of control modules.
