The 12.3-inch display of the instrument panel went blank when I was driving and away from home. Operating the vehicle with this display blank resulted in usafe diriving conditions including inability to see speed, gas tank status, charge status and all malfunction indicators. Since the malfunction occured while driving, I was at an increased risk of a crash or an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. I had to drive home and then later to the dealership with this malfunction occuring.

1 - The dashboard/head unit went black. Software failure. No longer able to see any metrics on the dashboard screen. Speed limit. Mileage. Electrical charge. Gas tank. Nothing. 2 - I literally cannot drive the car anymore, it's a safety issue. 3 - It's been at the dealership service center since December 31, 2025, with no solution in sight, I called again today for an update. It's been held "in repair" for three months now. 4 - The screen disappeared once before for a few hours, came back on, then disappeared again and never came back. It's a national recall - Toyota is not expediting the fix or just doesn't care
