I bought this car on October 7, 2017 and by December 22,2017 (dealer report attached), I had already experienced and reported for the first time the malfunctioning infotainment system on my 2018 Acura Tlx. This issue is ongoing. The technological flaw (pictures attached) is that the infotainment screen will freeze during operation of the vehicle. This impacts several essential safety and driving capabilities. When the screen is frozen, the backup camera fails to display as the frozen screen will not unfreeze until the car is turned off and back on. This means that you have to park on the side of the road to reset the system. This freeze also causes your programmed gps route (on-screen and voice directions) to go haywire and completely fail, again requiring you to leave the road and find a place to park, turn off the car and turn it back on. On several occasions, I have been on family road trips and the infotainment has frozen and I have had to leave the highway and reset the system. This is dangerous for me and others given the terrain is unknown and driving (especially at night) carries a lot of risk. I have attempted to address this issue numerous times with five dealers in the san francisco bay area. None of them have taken accountability nor acknowledged my problem, saying they cannot replicate it. However, I have noticed the infotainment freezings tend to occur on relatively longer drives. This infotainment defect is not unique, there are several complaints and ongoing lawsuits regarding the infotainment systems in Acura Tlx and rdx of various years (2019-2020), but my model's year has not been addressed. My family and I do not feel safe in this car. I bought it when it just came out and it has been a disappointment, compounded by the low-quality customer service that has consistently ignored me for the past 2+ years because they claim they cannot replicate it.
