Driving back from store last night, the instrument panel went dark. Still would show warnings and lights below but no info on the panel. Charged to 100% overnight and it came back today. I am wondering if there is a glitch when remaining battery goes below 15% that somehow that panel goes dark. Others have reported that.

I've taken my battery below 15% several times and the screen didn't go blank. Did you try the Sync 4A soft reboot?
On the steering wheel press & Hold the right seek button and the volume down button.

I thought the vehicle electronics powered by the 12V. Maybe have that checked?

I have had my charge level below 10% twice without having my instrument screen go dark.
