Hi folks, new Puma ST owner here!

Had the car about 4 weeks and was Absolutely in love with it until tonight when the digital dash started flickering - though oddly only on the normal and eco mode screens. Doesn’t seem Noticeable on sport or track!

Anyone else has this yet? Will call dealer tomorrow but really not impressed!!

Hope this isn’t the start of another car nightmare. I rejected an a Evoque before I bought the Puma!!

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Don't recall that particular problem being discussed. But have a nagging thought that there was a different problem someone had with the digital dash. If there was no doubt another member will remember.
There are a few ST owners on here, have a look in the ST section.
Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale 155 Automatic.
Driver Assistance Pack. Power Tailgate etc. etc....Frozen White. 🚷🚳
Wireless Android Auto. 8-)
Previous Puma ST-Line X First Edition.

Perhaps your st is telling you that it only wants to be driven using the 'fun' button. It is odd that it only faults in 2 modes...

Reckon a software update will solve it, the screen must be ok because the fault isn’t there all the time ??

I think from the response on here and the response offered to you on FB a trip to the dealer is on the cards.

Software Update, Digital Cluster Replacement? Keep us informed for future reference.

Good Luck! :)

I think a software update cured it. He also had a water ingress issue but I'll let him explain ;)
