Dash Screen
My Corvette is 2014, I have had it a little over a year. The screen on the dash is going wild. I have not found anything consistent in the trouble. The screen goes wild, flickering, rolling and then goes blank. Sometimes there is no trouble and the screen is steady, then for no reason it starts the trouble. Out of all the Corvettes, I can't be the only person it is happening to.

My 2014 with 17,000 miles, early vin 1115, after 20 months finally did the same.
Only solution (forget reflashing - does nothing) had the screen replaced!
Can't believe GM is having issues with screen that have been used for several years. You'd think they would have sorted this out by now!
My guess, sourced in China!

As mentioned above, a ribbon cable may explain it. How many other variations move up and down like the C7? Probably gets fatigued.

Dash Screen Issue
Looks like the dash screen gremlin finally got me. Same issue I've been reading about on my dash screen. It started going crazy intermittently by would straighten out after a bit. Now it just goes blank and is staying out more often than it's on. I have a 2014 C7 C3, with 12,000 miles. So I guess I'm lucky it lasted this long. Pretty sure it's the ribbon, but called the dealership and they said they would need to keep it a few days for the fix - Noooooooo!
