Digital instrument cluster glitching?

[mAkI]

This has happened twice with me under certain circumstances. The first time it happened, I was driving out from an underground garage and the exit was pretty steep. Couple times I got a chance to make my turn the hill assist did not kick in and the car immediately rolled back but I hit the gas and got it to move only to get interrupted by another car. After a couple tries I got a whole bunch of errors, advance trac disabled/failure, hill assist failure, traction control disabled, launch control disabled and the car went into normal mode from my custom mode. After I got to a safe place without the danger of rolling back, I was trying to back it up in a parking spot and I got the cross traffic failure message and rear proximity sensors were not working. I shut the car off and turned it back on with all the messages still appearing. So I shut it off and opened the door to completely shut off all the systems. When I restarted after that everything went back to normal.

Second time, while I was driving (a month or so later) and the digital cluster shut off and it did not come on until I did the same, turn off the car, open the door and start it up.

Third time was a scary one as it happened on the freeway during a 6 hour drive, the dash shut off. This happened a week ago. While I was still looking for a safe exit to take and pull off the freeway, It restarted itself with the bullitt splash screen maybe after being off for 2-3 minutes. All this time the radio controls and everything else was working normally. Galpin does not have appointment available for months and I"m moving from L.A to SF so I may have to look into taking it into another dealership soon.

Has this happened with anyone else at all? Is there a firmware update or a recall that addresses the issue? My ford pass app does not show any open recalls.

My digital dash has momentarily turned itself off handful of times. Only thing common with every time it’s done so is I’ve been on the highway. It’s usually out for about 5 sec or so and comes back on. I haven’t experienced the other issue you were encountering with hill assist. Mine did go into limp mode though when coasting in neutral and throwing into a gear. Turns out I had a bad flywheel and clutch. All replaced under warranty. I haven’t had the limo mode issue pop up again, but I also have not coasted in neutral since it’s been replaced.
