Electrical shortage causing radio malfunctions and heat/air malfunctions. At times my radio clock and date is off. These events happen when the vehicle is in motion or is stationed. The electrical shortage started two years after we purchased the brand new vehicle.
1st problem, the left speaker started a loud screeching noise while the radio was still playing. I had to stop the car and turn off the engine to stop the noise. 2nd problem, when I hit a bump in the road, the radio shuts off. I can't get local stations. Only sirrus station. Now when I turn the steering wheel too hard the radio shuts off then comes back on. Now while driving on the high ways, the dash board lightsturns off by them selves momentarily then turns back on. Also because of these problems, I turn the radio off... and while driving the radio turns on by itself. Driver-side back -up light was replaced visibility /wiper needs replacing wiper fluid squirt dosen't work effectively.. maybe nozzle is clogged D
