Consumer Description

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FLORIDA AND DROVE IT BACK TO MASSACHUSETTS. WHILE TUNING IN THE RADIO, I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO/CASSETTE AREA WAS "HOT", VERY HOT....I SHUT THE RADIO OFF AND CONTINUED TO MONITOR THE RADIO SECTION BY FEELING IT. IT STAYED HOT! THE RADIO COMPONENTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO HOT BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE RADIO SECTION ITSELF. WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THIS? I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE BUICK LESABRE RECALLS BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY. CERTAINLY THIS PROBLEM IS NOT OK. I HAVE NEVER FELT ANY RADIO IN ANY CAR "HOT" - AND I REALLY MEAN "HOT". I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY TO A BUICK DEALER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS. THIS IS A BUICK LESABRE - 2001 WITH 25000 MILES. THE OLDER COUPLE THAT OWNED IT RARELY USED IT AND PROBABLY NEVER USED THE RADIO THEREFORE NEVER NOTICED THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
