Lexus NX Forces Consumer Reports Magazine To Dealership After Infotainment System "Bricks"

Picking up the Lexus NX—the latest luxury compact SUV to reach the market—for our test fleet went smoothly, but things changed the next morning. After I hopped in the NX for my commute to work, the engine fired up without a hitch, but the center screen would not operate. It showed only “Checking map disk in progress. Please wait for a moment.”

So I waited.

Then the display showed, “A program cannot be read. Please consult to a dealer” (see photo above).

Burn the idiots at Consumer Reports in a fiery pit. What a pointless magazine.

Actually, THIS is the exact type of stuff that people should rely on Consumer Reports for. If cars fail for any reason or prove unreliable based on true evidence, then CR should be a source to report it. They should NOT try to be a publication that rates cars based on driveability, performance, etc.

"Please consult to a dealer"?? Doesn't sound right.

At least you were on the inside of the car and didn't have to look at that visual mess.
