We previously submitted a similar case 11744809, which was a similar telematics error, which also caused the touchscreen to fail to turn on, preventing other…

The issue occurred during braking and has not been resolved despite inspections and repair attempts.” If you’re listing each visit, do it like “Visit 1: Customer reported brake noise. Dealer inspected. Visit 2: Same concern returned, vehicle brought back for diagnosis and repair. Visit 3: Brake-related issue reported again. Problem continued.” That keeps it clean and close to the service records. And it at a dealer…
