Touch bar is continuously crashing.Bar goes black and is unresponsive.Rebooting and resetting PRAM fixes the issue but incredibly annoying when it happens serveral times a day.
I spoke to a developer who has many macbooks and he has given up on fixing the touch bar. What hope do us mere mortals have?

Thanks for replying.Like I said in the original post I can manage to get the touch bar back but what my issue is is that the issue happens several times a day and it’s really annoying wasting time at work fixing it by resetting PRAM or SMC.The computer is only 18 months old.It’s not acceptable for a product to fail this much and unless there is a permanent fix I would expect replacement and one without the Touch Bar.Has anyone resolved this issue for good or had Apple replace??????
No you did not mention SMC in your OP.
If this does not sort the issue— you have a hardware problem with the T2 Chip.
Take in for repair if you want it fixed.

try both—
Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)

Thank you …this is the first time that I’ve heard the Touch Bar failing is a hardware problem.Tough if you live in NZ with no Apple store and oversea shipping taking months.But thanks again for your help.
Is it with one app only? Try a software update if there is one available.
