My screen refused to display AM radio station when turning the dial it was stuck. After shutting down and re-starting it appeared to be ok. When I put car into drive the front camera came on. Shut down and re-start. Now looks ok. Anybody seen this type of behavior? I was at Dealer to get a new console cover, had to order it.

I don't know if my system receives AM. Anyway the computer systems in the car sometimes go out of sync and by shutting down the engine/electrics you are rebooting the system and everything returns to normal. You will discover displays sometimes disappear or freeze, happens quite a bit.

Kinda' gives one a helpless feeling when the screen goes blank but the radio keeps playing. My almost 2 year old 2015 has done this twice during the past couple of very hot months. Don't know if the summer heat plays any part with this problem or not.

The touch screen in my 2014 would "flutter" and them go blank. I video taped it and showed to my dealer. They changed the touch screen. This seems to be a problem on the 2014 models. There are a couple of threads on this. Not sure its your problem but just a thought.

My 2014 screen would flicker and then went black. It was replaced and now is fine. Seems to be a common issue.

My 2015 was doing the exact same thing, seems like high outside temperatures would blank it out then it would start working again the next day, The screen was replaced yesterday after being on back order for over a month, hope this one does better.

Screen was replaced by the dealership and after two hours it went blank again, stayed out for about half a day and came back on, I don't think it is the screen, more like a bad connection some where they can't find.
