When driving home last night, my radio lights turned off. Then when I hit a bump in the road they turned back on. This repeated the entire ride home. I know that I'll never be able to duplicate this for the service department. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Still bring it in it might be a loose wire.

prolly a loose connection....just have your dealer check it out....the radio headunit is quite simple to remove on a gen 6

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have my local dealer look at it when i get my oil changed this month.

I brought my car in to have the oil changed and mentioned the radio problem to the service department. I told them that I had pictures in case they couldn't duplicate the problem. As a result, even though they couldn't duplicate the problem, they are going to install a new radio Friday. However, when looking at the problem (ie. removing and reinstalling my radio) they must have fixed the problem since the radio has not had the same error since. Now I'm wondering if I should have the radio replaced and risk them causing some other damage???

Any thoughts?

Sounds like something was loose and when they took is apart and plugged it back in everything is where it should be. I would probably leave it as is, but it's up to you.
