Consumer Description

THE RADIO TO THE VEHICLE BECOMES NON-OPERATIONAL INTERMITTENTLY, I.E. THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS. START THE CAR IN THE MORNING, AND NOTICED NO RADIO, AND LOSS OF VOLUME CONTROL. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE RADIO BECOMES FUNCTIONAL, AND THE VOLUME CONTROL IS ENABLED. THIS HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME AN ANNOYANCE, AND DISTRACTING. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS PARKED NIGHTLY IN A GARAGE, AND THIS OCCURS WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN A STATIONARY POSITION, AND CONTINUES DURING BACKUP OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND MOVING FORWARD ONTO THE STREET.
