| Description of the problem | Vehicle is equipped with hands-free calling and voice access to calling located on steering wheel. These functions do not work unless the radio is first turned on. In addition, calls cannot be made from the console by pressing the phone button unless the radio is activated first - no actions occur when first pressing the steering wheel controls or the console phone button, this is a safety issue as it constitutes a distraction for the drive in any emergency situation while the vehicle is moving. There is no change in this function for a stationary vehicle. Incoming calls are automatically received to the console or steering wheel. I understand that this affects several model years, |
