Since I bought my Acura RL four months ago, I have had numerous problems when using the Voice Recognition System. A few examples are, when I tell it to turn off the A/C, it says, "the A/C is on". After repeating the command several times, it finally turns it off. Same problem with the radio; I tell it to turn it off and it repeatedly says, "radio on". Eventually it turns it off. It also has problems when spelling out street names or locations of business I want to find the Nav system to calculate a route to. The VRS seems to work just when the vehicle is not in motion (at a stop), but not when traveling on the freeways or streets. I suspect it may be due to road noise. I took the car to the dealership (twice, same dealership), and the second time the dealership talked to one of the tech people at Acura. The tech person said that Acura is aware of the problem, which there have been many complaints from other Acura RL owners, and that Acura is currently working on a fix to the problem. However, no date was provided as to when the fix will be available. I find the failure rate of the VRS unacceptable, and was wondering if anyone else has the same or similar problem(s), and can recommend a solution
