What Owners Say

Display screen goes blank

"The display screen, while using the GPS navigation system, just shuts off, seemingly randomly, and the screen goes blank. After some random amount of time it will come back on, but the information about the destination has been lost. We have had the system replaced and have tried with more than one Toyota dealer to have the problem diagnosed, but so far the source of the problem hasn't been determined or fixed. The system continues to turn itself off randomly, but there is one particular place on a frequent drive where the system routinely shuts itself off, so it's not always in random places."
