Approximately 60 percent of the dash is occupied by screen, by my unscientific estimation. Should the 33-inch display go dark, then, it’s a rather significant problem. General Motors has acknowledged such an issue with the luxury brand’s electric SUV this week.

It’s a software glitch, that can be triggered by opening a door during the car’s boot-up or shut down animation while it is parked, according to . That could result in a blank screen, which can only be rectified by power cycling the vehicle. The Lyriq’s extra-wide dash display contains both instrument panel and infotainment functions, so it’s kind of a big deal when it goes out.

Seeing as how GM hasn’t delivered very many Lyriqs yet, this recall is a small one, covering just 186 cars. A stop sale has also been temporarily placed on the model, presumably as GM works to install a software fix on its stock of unsold SUVs.

According to data, 16 owners have lodged complaints about this bug. Unfortunately, it’s not one that can be tended to over the air. Lyriq owners will have to bring their vehicles in for service so technicians can install the patch. Notices are due to go out to the relevant parties on November 7.

My Ford Fiesta’s Sync system has an issue where occasionally media simply won’t play for no obvious reason, and turning the car off and on doesn’t always set things right. It’s annoying, but at least I don’t have to rely on that center screen as a backup camera; nor to check how fast I’m going, nor my estimated range. You would’ve hoped that with every automaker becoming increasingly dependent on software and displays, they’d take more care to ensure everything’s reliable. Strangely, the opposite has happened. Cars have become in that way.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
