Your dashboard screen repeatedly goes completely black while driving at highway speeds (70+ mph), leaving you without a speedometer, fuel gauge, climate controls, or any instrument cluster information. This has happened about 10 times despite the dealer replacing the head unit multiple times. Your dome lights have also stopped working, and the car has spent about 30 days in the shop across four service visits since you purchased it new in late July 2025.

Your dashboard screens went completely black while driving at 65 mph on the highway, including your speedometer. After about 10 seconds, the driver's side screen came back on, but all warning lights appeared and the entertainment system restarted, taking 20-30 seconds to come back. The speedometer also displayed incorrect speed information. This is a serious issue since you couldn't see critical driving information while on the highway.

Your tire pressure warning system may only display a generic "Check Tire Pressure" message even when tire pressure drops to dangerously low levels, without escalating to a more urgent or critical alert. This vague warning could lead you to think the issue is routine rather than a serious safety problem, potentially causing you to continue driving on unsafe tires. The lack of an emergency-level warning when tire pressure becomes hazardous may leave you unaware of a dangerous condition. A software update to the tire pressure monitoring system would likely be needed to add escalating alert levels based on how low the pressure drops.
