Consumer Description

THE INCLUDED INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS NOW PREDOMINANTLY CONTROLLED BY A TOUCHSCREEN, IS INCREDIBLY SLOW, LAGGY, AND DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE, ONGOING FAILURES WITH THIS SYSTEM - EVERY TIME I ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS HONDA/ACURA HAS REMOVED OR REPLACED PRIMARY-OPERATION BUTTONS (32 OUT OF 41, BY THEIR COUNT), THE MANDATE TO USE THE OTHER OPERATIONAL SYSTEM (TOUCHSCREEN AND JOG-DIAL) HAS INCREASED THE RISK OF SAFETY INCIDENTS, EXACERBATED BY A SLOW USER INTERFACE RESPONSE AND OFTEN-FAILING VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER ONCE, AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR FIVE MONTHS. NEW VEHICLES HAVE AN UPDATED SOFTWARE LOAD, BUT ACURA REFUSES TO INSTALL IT. ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE UPDATES OR A SOLUTION. *TR
