problem #2

Highlander Limited V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,872 miles

All of the sudden the XM radio locks in on one station and the CD player starts ejecting CD's randomly and the phone charger can be heard through the speakers when you are driving. This is the second time it has happened to me and both situations occurred right after it rained. I'm guessing water is entering the electrical system or humid, damp conditions short out the electrical system.
