Consumer Description

RADIO MADE A LONG BANGING SOUND ON OVATION FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THEN OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO WOULD MAKE LOUD CRACKLING AND POPPING. CAR WOULD NEED RESTARTED TO RESET. EVENTUALLY RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND CAR WOULD NEED RESTARTED, MIXED IN WITH CRACKLING AND POPPING ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY. NOW THE RADIO JUST WON'T WORK NO MATTER IF YOU RESTART THE CAR OR NOT. THE LOUD BANGING SOUND AND LOUD POPPING CAN STARRTLE A DRIVER. THE RADIO NOT WORKING SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL, BUT CURRENTLY IS NOT. HAPPENS MOVING AND STATIONARY. HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, ALL ISSUES.
