When on the phone with Cessna engineering and
Garmin support they said they had a similar problem
during stalls and slow flight.

So, the uncommanded FIS rebooting was a known issue, and both
manufactures chose to release their products for use? One would have
thought Cessna would have learned not to do that from their seat-rail
issue. I hope the premiums are paid current on their errors and
omissions insurance policies.

Yea, its a scary thought! The G1,000 System is nice when it works "Great IFR
platform for situational awareness" But they do need some manual back up of
some critical items for safe IFR flight. I know I would not fly into IFR
conditions in a G1000 equipped airplane with my family or a passenger on
board. After sitting for 70 hours on Cessna version of the G1000 Scares the
hell out of me and it takes a lot to scare me! To many bugs and failure in
70 hours of flight! Look at my finial day the Tach. even failed!
