OK So 200 Miles in I was driving along For 45 minutes and the touch screen just went Black.
a couple of times the logo has popped up then black again.
Nothing at all now even after switch off and restart so no sat nav no radio no reverse camera nothing at all.

Anyone on the forum had this happen to them ?

I had my screen go black once, turned the ignition off and on a number of times, no good. Put the car away in my garage a locked it, the next morning all was back to normal. I can only assume that turning the ignition off and on didn't shut it down completely and it needed to be left inactive for longer. I've not seen the problem since.

Ours did once, but fixed itself a couple of restarts later.

Confused This Morning all seems to be working again .
I Have been for a two hour Drive with no further issue so far.
Maybe the system rebooted itself or just had a Glitch.
I will report back with any updates on the situation.

Thank you for Members Inputs and experience ,Hopefully like others who have experienced this issue it will just resume normal operation.

Report it just in case.

I'd also check the battery (or get it checked). Most issues like this with F-Types (and XF's too) tend to be battery charging issues as it seemingly is the weak point of the cars systems.

I used to get issues like this (not that particular one) but now mine sits on a CTEK charger when not in use and she's a good girl again :)

Glad to hear it's sorted itself out. You can get back to enjoying your new car and get it looked into when convenient. My car used nearly every day, so the battery charge shouldn't be an issue. When it went blank I'd just returned from my 70 mile round trip to work and back. I reckon I might have pressed something in a combination it didn't like, who knows. I read on another forum it takes about an hour of inactivity to go through restart, which seems to tally.

It certainly does sound like a software/hardware issue rather than an electrical failure.
Interesting to know if/when it happens to mine.

Update "... Since my last report all has been fine. But today the touch screen crash came back with a vengeance .
It was going off an on like a light switch well 8 times in 60 miles to the dealership .
They ran diagnostics and found no errors. So I have booked it in next week to be looked at over 2 days.

Drove the 60 miles home and not a glitch and all worked as should .
