Consumer Description

MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS ARE NO LONGER WORKING IN CAR. THE SCREEN HASN'T HAD A YELLOW FRAME AROUND IT FOR NEARLY A YEAR.THEY REPLACE THE FIRST ONE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEN IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I WANTED IT REPLACED I WAS TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET. SO I HAD THEM NOTE IN THE NOTES THAT MY CAR NEEDED A SCREEN EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY WAS TO FALL OUT. MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS NO LONGER WORK. CERTAIN CLIMATE CONTROL FEATURES DON'T WORK. MOBILE APP NO LONGER WORKS WITH VEHICLE ON MOST FUNCTIONS. SCREEN SOMETIMES STAYS BLACK AND DOES NOT BOOT UP. MAYBE STUCK FOR MULTIPLE MINUTES WHILE CAR IS BOOTING UP. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE SCREEN GIVES US PROBLEMS IT IS NOT WHEN DRIVING. IT IS USUALLY WHEN WE FIRST GET INTO THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD ONE OCCURRENCE WHERE THE SCREEN SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR NEARLY A YEAR. AND IT SEEMS THAT MORE FEATURES ARE FAILING AS TIME GOES ON
