Description of the problem | When the car is in park or i? M driving on the road. The radio will abruptly go out, with a loud noise. Then it? S silent, and abruptly you hear popping and loud static noises. It is a road hazard, because this loud static noise comes and goes; and when it happens it makes you jump. It take you focus off the road, because you? Re trying to turn the radio down or off, but it? S already off and nothing working. So you wait for it to stop. I did take my car into a dealership and had it inspected, they said it was the whole front component (radio/ ac) cost about $650. There? S no way of just disconnecting just the radio, because it? S also wired with some dash lights and the ac. There are also many other people struggling with this problem. |
