Description of the problem	In my 2014 ford focus, the radio is making awful sounds. It started off as music would stop playing then a loud bang would happen and the radio would cut back on immediately after. Now it is an issue where the radio and car is completely turned off and will make loud popping, static, screeching, and white noise. Currently, it is still having these same issues while driving and even when the vehicle is parked and the key is out of the ignition; i have also found the issue has progressed worse to where the car is making these noises after opening the drivers door with no key near and after not being driven for a couple of days. When the issue had started i was at a busy intersection and it sounded like cars were rear ending me. I am scared to drive my car because these sounds are sudden and as a young driver it is extremely dangerous, because these sounds are loud enough for me to potentially jerking the wheel and causing an accident. I have contacted ford on multiple occasions about this issue because it is extremely concerning for me, they said that they could not do anything, and could not even tell me some plans to potentially fix it without having the dealership diagnosis the issue which is a lot of money when it is not an owner error. I have also looked at multiple online forms where hundreds of people with focuses ranging from 2012-2015 are also having this issue and are not getting help from ford at all. All owners agree this is an extremely dangerous issue that needs to be resolved and it seems like we are getting pushed to the back-burner because it is not a safety issue, when it indeed is. I have also found where mechanics are telling people the fuses could be bad, which could start a fire which is extremely concerning. I also found where ford issued a tsb for 2012-2013 models that are having the same issue.

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?
