Consumer Description

THE RADIO/ SPEAKERS WILL LET OUT POPPING, CRACKLING, AND STATIC AT VERY LOUD VOLUME AT RANDOM TIMES THAT IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO BECOME FRIGHTENED, SWERVE, OR LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE IS ONGOING AND HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TRIP. EVEN WITH THE RADIO COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THE SYSTEM WILL STILL MAKE THE SOUND. IT WILL DO THIS AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY GEAR. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS ONLINE IN MY SEARCHES FOR A FIX COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE.
