It Sounds like an Air lock in the cooling system that's stoping the Temp Gauge from responding to the coolant that's not making contact with it. I believe (unless it's a serial failure from the BCM, in which case swap out either the BCM and the IMC) that it could be co-incidental and a sending unit failure inside the tank is at fault. This would certainly be less expensive than swapping out and reprogramming the Body Control Module, or having a new Instrument Cluster replaced and reprogrammed.
