Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS GOING HAYWIRE, MAKING GHOSTS SELECTIONS SUCH AS CALLING PPL, SELF SELECTING SETTINGS AND ALL OTHER BUTTONS AT RANDOM TIMES DURING DRIVING WHICH HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE TO MAZDA BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. ALL THEY WILL OFFER IS SWAPPING IT FOR ANOTHER INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DO THE SAME THING AGAIN AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. THIS TAKES PLACE WHILE THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT 5MPH OR LESS SO IT MOST FREQUENTLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM SLOWING TO TAKE TURNS OR TRAVELING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHILE AT A STOP AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE SYSTEM ONCE IT STARTS GLITCHING AND MAKING CALLS AND CHANGING SETTINGS OR DIALING NUMBERS, I CANT HANG UP IM FORCED TO DISCONNECT THE BLUETOOTH FROM THE PHONE BUT THAT ONLY PREVENTS IT FROM MAKING CALLS IT STILL CONTINUES TO GO TO THE SETTING AT PRESS RANDOM BUTTONS
