My touchscreen is malfunctioning. It does what it wants when it wants. Example- it makes my headrest flip up and down Turns the radio stations Turns the heat/air on/off Turns the heated/cooling seats on/off Backup camera doesn’t work half the time I backed into a dirt embankment and cracked my rear bumper because the backup camera wasn’t working at that time Navigation doesn’t work half the time Volume works when it wants Can’t change radio stations sometimes
The entire 8.4" screen on the dashboard flashes on and off continually whether the vehicle is running or not. Seems like there is a major short in the electrical system. While this issue is happening you have no control over heating, ventilation, radio, navigation, apps or apple car play. Also, while driving at night the flashing screen causes a hazardous distraction in an otherwise dark vehicle.
