Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO/SYNC. LOAD NOISES WILL INTERRUPT THE RADIO OR COME ON EVEN IF RADIO IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHT OUT OF ME CAUSING ME TO SWERVE IN TO THE OTHER LANE OR CAUSED ME TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS WITH CARS BEHIND ME. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER FOR FOCUS OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED! IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND WON'T STOP WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. PLEASE HELP! IT IS GETTING WORSE!
