Have it tested first. Don’t just start replacing random parts without proper diagnosis or you’ll bankrupt yourself. Have it scanned for trouble codes as well. There is information stored in the computer.

Clean, tighten, & check battery terminals. Had this happen with mine. It also caused the car to jolt while cruising at highway speeds. Scan if still occurs. I also heard of oxidation on the copper cluster contacts can cause the cluster to jump around. Just a couple simple things to check. Plenty of youtube videos on these.
