Same here....ive only had it do the blackout thing at the night/day transition and doing the soft reboot solves it.2021 lariat. Same thing. Seems to happen most with day night mode transition. If I hold power and seek forward it fixes for a while.
Anyone have a fix? Or what to say when you take it in to make them listen?? I’m fully anticipating a “we couldn’t duplicate the problem”
Yea I’ve noticed night to day and when it’s in day mode and brightening in bright sunlight. Yesterday I permanently put it in dark/night mode and it hasn’t done it again?. I’ll report back. I have a service appointment next week for a software update but it looks like this is for a bug having to do with CarPlay and the caller having an emoji in their contact name???Same here....ive only had it do the blackout thing at the night/day transition and doing the soft reboot solves it.
Still annoying AF tho.
I see this as well. The dealership is replacing the APIM today so we’ll see if this has any impact. Not feeling confident given this is my 6th visit for the issue. Not what one should expect for a $73k ride.This just started happening to me. It went dark this morning though, while the sun was behind me and it wasnt off, the sun made some text appear. It is just really really dark.
Thats actually a good theory. Thats it’s getting really dark not necessarily black. Some people have described putting it in neutral and it working.This just started happening to me.

I have a case open for lemon law buy back. Shifting to neutral or park returns the screen for me too.Thats actually a good theory. Thats it’s getting really dark not necessarily black. Some people have described putting it in neutral and it working.
Dealership is waiting for an update to come on a “flash drive”. I’m worried they are stalling because they don’t know what to do. Corporate has a case open but they haven’t been helpful either.
I’m not doing this six times. I’ll trade this sucker in for something not FORD.
We don’t have lemon law in Tennessean unfortunately.I have a case open for lemon law buy back. Shifting to neutral or park returns the screen for me too.
Wait. Yes we do just not for used vehicles.We don’t have lemon law in Tennessean unfortunately.
Had My APIM replace for same issues black screen etc. And all problems have been resolved.I see this as well. The dealership is replacing the APIM today so we’ll see if this has any impact. Not feeling confident given this is my 6th visit for the issue. Not what one should expect for a $73k ride.
Any chance one of your symptoms was the interior lights don’t come on when the doors are opened? This was my original issue and after that first repair I’ve been plagued with the screen going black.Had My APIM replace for same issues black screen etc. And all problems have been resolved.
