“I went to the store and everything was working fine. I noticed a crackling sound while talking on bluetooth. Parked the vehicle to go shopping. Once I returned the infotainment/instrument cluster completely went dark. Infotainment screen never powered on. Was unable to turn screen on. Turned vehicle on and off with no success. Drove home with everything completely unresponsive. Infotainment system started working the following day.”
NHTSA complaint #11352026, filed 2020-08, 6,964 miles“As we were driving down I-65 in kentucky (driving back home to michigan), the vehicle lost functions / communications of the infotaiment system, we were relying on the GPS system via apple play to determine what exit to take. From prior experince with this issue , I knew we needed to pull the side of the highway and shut the vehicle off, then turn back on, and thats what we did. It worked, but was not safe on that busy highway.”
