| Description of the problem | My new car comes with a free trial period of siriusxm travel link. Part of this feature is travel alerts which appear on the center console touch screen. There is no method for disabling these alerts, and depending upon where you are, you can receive multiple alerts per hour. These can sometimes be for weather over 200 miles away from your current position. The only way to clear the message is to physically reach over and touch the screen. This feature needs to have a setting to disable. On a recent trip driving in the snow near multiple weather patterns, i was reaching for the screen every 5 minutes because it blocks the map which i needed to follow. It's like my car is forcing me to be a distracted driver. How can this possibly be considered a 'safety feature' by sirius xm? |
