Description of the problem	For the past 3 years my ford focus 2013 has had the radio system go out almost every time i drive it. Typically there would be a loud pop, then it wouldn't work until i restarted the car. This wasn't a big deal to me-- i don't mind driving without music. The past month it has gotten much worse. Instead of just a loud pop, it will often make a crackling or screeching noise for up to a minute or two. This has happened both while i'm driving as well as when the car is not even on (most likely draining the battery, since the radio lights up when making the noise). Today was especially concerning. I left my house to walk to my car, and could hear from my backyard (to the side of the driveway where it was parked) a loud screeching, popping, crackling noise. I walked up to my car and, sure enough, although it wasn't even unlocked, still had all the doors shut, and i hadn't even touched it, it was making these noises that could be heard from a distance. I got into my car, hoping starting it would help, but the noises continued. It was such a startling noise, i couldn't imagine driving with it going. I ended up going back inside to do some research on how to help it. When i came back out half an hour later it was still going. In my research i saw many other ford focus 2013 owners having similar issues. I realize this is considered a cosmetic issue, which i can understand since a radio isn't necessary. But now it has escalated to a continuous noise that can be heard outside of my car and goes even when it's not on-- i feel it is a safety issue. I ended up taking out the fuse #79 after reading other people who have done similarly, and checking with my owner's manual. I'm a bit concerned about doing this since that fuse also works with the hazard lights and the door locks. But with the sound still going, i knew i had to take the fuse out or couldn't drive my car to work.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
