NHTSA Complaint #11663310 — 2024 LEXUS NX

Purchased this 2024 NX in October 2024. Since purchase the CarPlay aspect of the car where you can talk to text and voice call has not been functioning normally. It cuts in and out of bluetooth so if I am on a hands free call with someone, sometimes it cuts over to the phone randomly and won't connect to the car. The talk to text feature and any talk to the car feature for CarPlay doesn't work as it does not recognize any voice it just hears what the car is playing and asks for repeating. This is a known issue in this vehicle. I have brought it up to Lexus on each service and they are aware but it apparently needs a software update that they have been waiting on for over 1 year. This feature is crucial for the driving that I do as I need to be able to respond to work calls/texts using the hands free feature as GA is a hands free state and it is illegal and unsafe for me to have my phone in my hands while driving.
