Typical electrical symptoms owners report

The MMI (multimedia interface) screen spontaneously reboots while driving, sometimes multiple times within a single short trip.
During MMI reboots, the backup camera, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors go dark and become unavailable.
Reboots knock out navigation, radio, Bluetooth phone pairing, and Apple CarPlay until the system finishes restarting.
Some owners report the MMI requires a PIN or password re-entry after each reboot before core features work again.
One owner reported the SOS emergency-call button and cell phone pairing stopped functioning after a module failure.
A software update applied by a dealership reportedly made the reboot frequency worse rather than fixing it.
