| Description of the problem | The large touch screen that controls a majority of functions in the vehicle will turn off randomly. This has happened multiple times while driving on a highway. This is incredibly dangerous. I am driving at 65mph+ amd on a highway and have no visibility of what my actual speed is as it is displayed on the touch screen. Additionally, the turn signals are also turned off when the screen shuts off. I am put into a very unsafe situation where i cant use my turn signals and cant view my speed. This is not a solitary incident - this has happened multiple times. |
