Default 06 GT Check Charging System Issue

I have a 2006 GT that only shows the check charging system when I hit a bump and the whole dash lights and all abs, battery, traction lights light up on the dash... the battery gauge also shoots to high side tached out. I have pulled my radio out to see if any wires maybe came undone and are touching. Im just trying to get suggestions on where to look. It has a 2 month old battery on it. But also when I hit the first bump and it comes on if I hit another bump or gas it enough it will disappear. I lose everything interior wise when this happens... this car also has 217,xxx miles on it.

Sounds like a bad ground or loose connection somewhere.
Was this happening before the battery was replaced? I would check the connections to the battery, alternator, etc.

This.
The problem is almost certainly a loose connection of any cables originating either from the positive or the negative side of the battery. The obvious place to start is the battery terminals themselves since you recently replaced the battery.
