Road trip gremlins

Just finished a trip up to WI in the new RDX for a few days at the lake and came home with a few gremlins to report:

1. Tried to cancel a nav search and it froze the nav system. Audio still played on the secondary screen but I couldn't switch it to the main screen or get control of the nav system again until I stopped the car and shut everything down. Worked fine after restart but not great when you're relying on the nav for directions.

2. Driving after a rain and started getting a parking sensor warning that something was very close to the front left corner. Went away as my speed increased but would return each time I slowed to a near stop/stop. Got out and checked for anything stuck to the car but it was all clear. This kept happening until I shut the car down completely and worked fine after restart.

3. Automatic wipers started working as i drove on the highway on a clear day. I could turn them off but returning the switch to auto brought the back to life each time. Once again, turning the car completely off seemed to fix it.

Aside from these system gremlins, the car was great to drive and my gas mileage was about 26mpg on 87 octane. Just wish they had spent as much time on the technology components as they did driving dynamics. Never had a car that needed reboots as much as this one.
