MacBook Pro 2016 touch bar randomly crashes

Apple informed me via my filed RADAR (internal bug report) that this issue is fixed in macOS 10.13.2. I haven't upgraded yet, but if others would like to try that and report back that would be helpful. In my case the crash occurred with a LG 4K USB-C monitor. My workaround was to wake the laptop from sleep, authenticate, and then plug in the monitor. That has been my workaround for this for the past year. I was able to consistently crash when I plugged in the USB-C cable to the LG monitor before the laptop fully woke up from sleep.

It is happening to me much less if I remove USB peripherals before I suspend. But there is definitely something wrong with low-power states with USB devices connected. I'm kinda shocked Apple has not seen this in testing given how rampant it seems.

Try turning wi-fi off before you put your MBP to sleep and see what happens. I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now and haven't had one crash since then.

I know it's a pain but it's better than having to recover from a crash every time you wake your computer up. I've been to the Apple Store a couple of times over this and they have been no help, and the official word I was told is that Apple is not replacing any MBP's that have this error.

Still a problem for me too. If you read up-thread you'll see I started shutting off wifi (wifi menu -> turn wi-fi off) before I put the MBP to sleep. The problem has gone away since I started doing this.

The other day I forgot and simply put my MBP to sleep, when I tried to wake it I got the freeze/kernel panic. So, maybe this all has something to do with the wifi. I'm not sure, all I know is that its never happened since I started shutting off wireless before sleeping.

Just a follow-up. I was not able to get to the Apple Store - it's an hour away from my home. I did contact both web and voice support, neither of which had a clue what I was even talking about. Very disappointing.

However, as I've tried everything else, I've started turning "off" wi-fi before sleeping my MBP thinking that might have something to do with it. Not one crash since then, we'll see if it continues. I'd urge anyone following this thread to try this for a few days and see how things go.

My issue seems to have gone away with recent macOS updates. If you are fully updated and still experience the iissue I would recommend contacting Apple support.

ejh4isu,

If possible, keep the appt with the Genius Bar. You (and the rest of us) might learn something. If not, report the error to Apple by calling their help line. Problems never get fixed unless enough people complain. Thank you for sharing.

Spoke with someone at the AppleStore the other day, Apple seems to think it has something to do with the wireless card. There are talks of a recall.

This just happened to me on a 2017 MBP with the highest spec CPU, 1TB SSD. €4000 machine!

Appears to have happened right after plugging in an Android phone.

@Pisymbol

I can confirm that 10.13 High Sierra doesn't fix the issue.

i bought a 2017 13" touch bar that has crashed on me 3 times in the last 48hrs.

here is the dump of the error log.

Doesn't seem like apple is doing anything to fix the issue....

Just bought a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7

and got my first error, the machine only 7 days old and was told I could take it in for replacement or refund. I think ill be doing that then...

Well so much for shutting off wi-fi before putting the MBP to sleep, it started happening again. Guess I have no choice but to go to the Apple Store.

Definitely shocking, I waited so long to get a new machine, and even got a Dell first that I wasn't happy with. Then forked out all this money on this one and now this.

Another problem I have which may or may not be related. When I plug in my USB 3.0 hub I get random Wi-Fi drops. Wiggling with the connector sometimes makes it better or worse.

Here is another

on a 3500+ EUR MacBookPro13,3 ... good job!

Do you really think this issue across hundreds of Macbook Pros are all individual hardware defects? Not likely. Also, it didn't happen to me when I first got my MBP, only after a few updates. (I actually wonder if the USB firmware update for dongle support caused it - I really don't know).

Apple is aware of the problem and not once did they say, "Just get your MBP fixed." It's their issue and like I said, they know it.
