Hope OP has the CPO warranty then, since he's out of the standard warranty having a 2007 model.

I had the same thing happen to me and took months to get an instance where it failed and the dealership was able to verify it. Sometimes the rotary **** doesn't recognize the input. You can try pulling it out a bit, you'll feel it move a little, and then push it all the way back in to ensure good contact. If it still is acting up, it's a problem with the electrical contact. Mine was this case where on hot days, the volume **** wouldn't work. The dealership will have to replace the whole unit.

it was hot today..and i guess my sunshade did not do enough justice. i tried that method pulling and pushing, but it didnt work until it got cooler inside the vehicle with my ac blasting lol. but i will record it when it happens again and head straight to the dealer. i didnt know that this was an known occurrence for the isx50. thanks for you input yo!
