The infotainment system goes black while driving. When I first bought the car in May 2023 it was going black a few times. I took it to the dealership and they alleged the system was replaced. Now the infotainment system goes black while driving multiple times per week. There have been multiple times that it goes black and resets while I am backing out. This is extremely frustrating and unsafe if I am relying on gps maps to get to my destination and the system goes black while driving and when I back out it creates a safety hazard.

OCU module goes out. It takes out the SOS button. SOS light turns red and two lights on the dash turn on. This is the third time for this vehicle. Replace the module until it fails again, and throw another one at it. No actual fix.

Navigation system is frequently giving an incorrect location. This has been occurring since I purchased the vehicle in September. My concern is that if I needed to transport myself or another to emergency services or if I needed to let emergency services personnel know my location I would be unable to do so correctly. Incidents such as mine are not unique if you can see here on the Taos forum. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
