Consumer Description

THE RADIO ON MY 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCESS CAB 4 CYL PICK UP RANDOMLY TURNS OFF AND BACK ON. IT ALSO RANDOMLY CHANGES CHANNEL FREQUENCY FROM SET POSITION, AND THE LCD DISPLAY SCREEN IS FILLED WITH UNREADABLE CHARACTERS.I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON ALL TOYOTA MODELS AND TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIX AS OF YET. I WANTED THEM TO INSTALL A NEW UNIT AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED, STATING THAT ALL OF THE RADIOS WERE DEFECTIVE AND I WOULD JUST BE INSTALLING ANOTHER DEFECTIVE UNIT. THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL THEM BACK 4 WEEKS LATER TO SEE IF TOYOTA HAD A FIX YET. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS NOW AND NO FIX. *TR
