JoeFromPA Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi all, 08 LGT 5-speed, ~8000 miles. My wife reported this problem this morning so I haven't been able to try to duplicate it. She turned on her front and rear defroster and apparently the entire climate control and audio section went dead. No lights, no responsiveness. Nothing. So she called me up and I told her the classic answer. "Reboot". She did, and it appears to be working fine again. I know these problems occured in earlier models, but this is the first I've heard on an 08. Any ideas? Any way to prevent this from happening in the future?

qikslvr Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Same here. I've had the whole center dash go black and then pop back on after a restart back in 05. Never had it since. Maybe it's just part of the break in process:lol:. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molal24 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Same exact thing happened to me. Kind of worried me. Except when mine happened, the air was on full blast and I couldn't shut it off. All I did was turn the car off and back on and it reset. Hasn't happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The usual problem with computers... They have a tendency to do unexpected things for unexplained reasons. There are so many factors that can influence a computer and make it do something unexpected. All from low battery voltage to static electricity caused by synthetic underpants. If it only happens once a year or less it's no problem, and we will have to live with it on modern cars. It's not really a brand issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
