According to the annual Auto Reliability Survey published by Consumer Reports, infotainment systems are becoming a major concern for automakers and the reliability rankings of their brands. “Multi-function, cross-linked infotainment systems and the associated in-car electronics are a growing reliability plague for many brands,” the publication said in a statement.
Out of 17 problem areas asked in the survey, the category that included in-car electronics received more complaints than any other category from owners of 2014 models. The report also noted that several automakers have improved their technology and resolved issues from previous years, while others need to continue to make improvements.
