I have heard of the instrument cluster causing weird problem from guys in the shop FYI. To me it sounds like a wiring issue can we go over the wiring harness to check for open or grounded circuits? Here is a guide to use with the wiring diagrams above:

So do I need to check all the harness wires? Or just the instrument cluster?

Just let you know the car did not act up for few days now also no codes p0882 p0218. The difference is the outdoor temperature on those days the temperature is about 32 at night and 60 days. What could be related to temperature?

It sounds like the sonilond pack which has the fluid temperature sensor in it needs to be replaced. Here is a diagram of what I am talking about. Let me know what happens.

I thought the temperature sensor is part of TRS. Also, when the car acting up and put it in reverse the white back up light is not on.

That could be shorted gear range sensor, let's use the wiring diagrams I gave to test through the sensor it could be causing the issue.

I measured the voltages of the TRS wires and compared to what Alldata specification.
When the car acting up or when the car is not acting up the value of the trs are:

T43T41 T3 T1
P CL CL OP CL
R CL OP OP CL
N CL CL CL CL
D OP OP CL CL
3 OP OP OP CL
1 CL OP CL CL

Alldata specification for the TRS are:

T43T41 T3 T1
P CL CL CL OP
R CL OP OP OP
N CL CL OP CL
D OP OP OP CL
3 OP OP CL OP
1 CL OP CL CL

The top line of testing is a concern on T3 supposed to be closed and it open, looks like the sensor is bad.

This is either a wiring problem or the gauge cluster is bad which is a module as well. I would confirm the wiring is okay and then try a used cluster.
