Consumer Description

I was driving and a warning came up on the driver console that the I believe blind spot detection system malfunctioned (it happened really fast) and some of the lights on the dash went off. Then everything went dark on the dash and center console screen. The center console screen just said "Vehicle Network Communication Error". I turned off the car and the car would not turn back on after that. This happened while driving and could be very dangerous while driving especially at night. The Pictured attached is with the car on, before I turned it off. Once I turned it off that screen stayed on all night with that message with a few accessory lights.
