he radio display has simply "disappeared" which drives my wife crazy, thereby increasing my stress level. Also the AM band is full of static only when the engine is running. Any suggestions on repairing?

Okay, I about a year ago I bought a 98 ford explorer, the car of my dreams, Anyways, about 2 wks later my radio shuts off by itself and swallowed one of my CD's!!!!! I haven't been able to take it out. Anywhose I love everything in my car but it really drives me nuts when I have to turn up the volume and it won't turn up the volume or it will shut off on its own and won't come back on. PLEASE HELP ME before I yank the stereo out and throw it out the window....
