“The infotainment system randomly resets during usage regardless of what mode the system is in (both in terms of drive mode or music listening mode). During a reset, all access to advanced safety features, drive mode selection, traction control selections, are disabled. The screen goes completely black and then turns back on usually with a different interface mode activated (bluetooth vs radio, for instance). All steering wheel controls are disabled during a reset. This freeze and reset can occur while moving or while stationary. …”
