Hi all,
I have tried to search for this issue with no success. Hope I'm not double posting this issue...
So...
My wife was driving our 2012 C-zero (25000 km with no issue so far) when the dashboard suddenly shut down.
It was not only the backlight, the whole dashboard was off, as in powered off. No speed display etc.
There was no warning light whatsoever and no alarm/bipping sound.
The headlights went off too, at the same time.
It was as if the car was shut down BUT there was still motor power and, as far as she can remember, power steering was still there. She can't tell if the radio was still under power or not.
She pulled out quickly, restarted the car, it went on as if nothing happened.
Have you ever seen this ? What is a plausible explanation ? The dangerous part was the headlights, she was driving at night.
We hope this is a unique odd occurence and not a failure...
Any input appreciated!
