It can't recognize the word "No" over and over and over again it can't recognize "No", the simplest word in the English language. My dog understands the word "No". My sisters cat understands the word "No", but my $50,000 Lexus can't! My service department say it's working correctly, well that's good news.
Short words are the most difficult things to get right in voice recognition. Think of how short the word is, and if your timing is off when you speak part of the word can be filtered out as background noise. Nevertheless, not good. Are you speaking at a normal rate and volume? Do you wait for the beep, and if so how long after? Just a few things that can cause problems you might want to experiment with.

Across both Audi's I own and my new Lexus, I never use the voice command feature. I find it always taking much longer and more inconvenient than me just doing it the normal way. Only time I use it in my ES is to find an artist on my iPod, which it normally does pretty well.

I have come to use the voice recognition feature frequently and find it very convenient for many simple tasks such as using the phone or calling Destination Assist. While not 100% accurate, it rarely misses for me. The system could be designed better but as far as it accuracy, I find it extremely accurate. Considering there is no voice training, it appears to be quite a good system for many.

I found the voice recognition to be the biggest disappointment with my purchase. Enform would have made #1, but I just quit using it. I call destination assist any time I need to use navigation.
