Does this happen to anyone else I get these messages quite often for a day or two at a time before they go away and by the time they go away, the dealership says the computers fixed it itself and they can get no data off of it?!?

My new way of driving this car is to select Sport+ and M paddle shifting and then just turn off the center display and ignore it altogether!

Does it always occur during bad weather, or are there other commonalities when it occurs?

Happens during rain and sun. No explanation to it. Although I feel it happens more often when I hit a bump on our lovely roads in Indiana.

So 9-10 randomly coming on and staying on or did they go off? Wondering if I need to record it next time it Happens etc. obvs with all the warning I can’t use cruise, parking, etc etc.
wondering if eventually they will stay on and not go away.

How do they install and entire wiring loom without practically disassembling the entire vehicle?

Same message on wife’s U11, battery died after 2 1/2 years. Incredible! Is it difficult to show a ‘low battery’ message instead?

This has been happening to my car since 109 miles .. initially it was in the shop for 3 months they change all the sensors checked wiring then changed bcp .. then it started working I think it’s because the weather got cooler .. it started happening when it gets hot … so I take it back and there changing the same parts again .. they’re waiting for the last module they haven’t changed the dcs

Drive safe. 🤞🤞🤞
In shop for 3 months at only 100 miles, That sucks. Hope they at least waved your payments when they had your vehicle during that timespan.
