Description of the problem | 2013 ford focus audio system does not function properly. Cracks and pop at extreme volumes even when system volume is fully turned down and/or off. Issue occurs even prior to vehicle being started, doesn't matter if car is running, driving, at a stop, in park, etc. Happens all the time. Extremely dangerous situation for driver as the sound is a similar volume to someone setting off fireworks in the car. This will cause accidents for drivers if it is not corrected. Ford claims this is not a widespread issue but a simple google search of "ford focus audio issues" brings up many results proving otherwise. Needs to be a recall. Happens every time i drive the car, began about 3 months ago and has only continued to get worse and happen more often. Audio system is not old enough to where i should be required to replace. Under normal circumstances an audio system should last as long as the life of the car, not four years. Ridiculous and dangerous, please correct. |
