To clarify my earlier post: Go ahead and blame Garmin ( which may or

advanced avionics in aircraft.

Software that reboots the entire instrumentation panel because of a
single bad input is not "advanced".

and as had been pointed out by a number of people, there is no solid
evidence that make it clear that the reboots where caused by the out of
range sensor. Even the original story said the fuel displayed displayed
red x before other system failed and eventually rebooted the overall
system. Even it the G1000 is a bad design/system, it's still no reason
to say that we must stay with steam gauges.
