| This problem presented itself shortly after purchasing the vehicle and has been an intermittent annoyance since then. sometimes after starting the vehicle and turning the radio on there will be no sound from the speakers. sometimes after driving a while, perhaps 20 minutes or so, the radio will emit a loud electrical popping noise and sound will come from the speakers again. also if the vehicle is shut off let sit and then turned back on the radio will start working again. *tr | |||

| The radio is constantly losing reception when vehicle hits a bump. sometime it will reconnect when another bump or hole is hit. the radio was replaced, but there seems to be something in the antenna that is defective. *ak | |||
