Default Weird Electrical Glitch

On Sunday, my iPhone was having trouble connecting. It connects right off but then loses connection. No big deal, happens regularly. So I switch source to FM radio both to listen to the radio but also I've found kind of acts like a reset button in some respects. But then I could not get the radio to turn off or switch stations. (the volume dial did work).

Drove to my sisters to drop something off. When I backed up out of her driveway, my back up camera came on like usual but then did not go off. I drove down the road for about a mile with the back up camera still showing on my screen (distracting). Then it stopped. It drove normally.

After being at my mother's house for an hour, I got in the truck and all was acting normally. Is this just "one of those things" or is it a precursor to something more troubling?

Mine did the same thing last week. After a stop at the quickie mart and a restart, it has worked as advertised. I chalked it up as a "feature".

Mine acts glitchy at times. Once driving on interstate, went black. Stopped, shut off, completely, back on and has worked for several months as it should. I have come to accept Fords less than ideal electronics at every facet.

Hopefully not the modern American Lucas Industries.

I've had that happen and after a shutdown and restart it was fine. Been quite a few month's now and no other issues.
