| Description of the problem | My vehicle's interior temperature will automatically increase to its maximum setting very quickly. I noticed that it's due to the touch sensitivity of the touch panel, which controls the vehicle's air conditioning, heat, music controls, and more. This has almost caused me to crash because of driver discomfort and having to warm up the touch panel with my hands, in order to allow it to stop changing by itself. This happens every day and is very concerning. Areas of the touch panel are unresponsive as well. I noticed this soon after my vehicle recieved an over-the-air update (a few months ago). This occurred just after my vehicle reached the 100k mile mark which was the warranty limit on the component. My vehicle currently has 111,900 miles on its odometer. |
