This happened a month ago when I was driving to Spring Mountain. Driving across New Mexico on I40 my navigation goes.Shows me not moving with Kingman 439 miles away. No big deal. Get to Winslow Arizona and my front camera goes. Keep on towards Kingman and the dash lights and screen lights go dark and sound system goes. I keep calling OnStar and they tell me they can't see anything wrong. With the hurricane down south the computer grid is mesed up. They tell my car is basically a computer. Huh? I take it to the Chevrolet dealership in Puhrump and the Corvette Mechanic does a computer reset and everything is fine. Everything works on the way back to Nebraska. What the hell happened? Oh by the way in Kingman Arizona with my front camera gone I damaged the front factory red spoiler parking. I used that as an excuse and installed the carbon fiber front spoiler when I got home.

That must have been an unnerving ordeal. Glad the dealer was able to reset it and it's worked since then. I doubt you'll get an answer on what went wrong if it's operating without problems and hasn't thrown any codes.

It never threw any codes. That is why OnStar kept telling me they could not see anything wrong.

Reboot. Then reassess.
