I HATE that my radio will randomly (about 1/3 of the time) just not have any sound output when I start my car. Every car I have ever owned started with the radio in the same status as when the car was shut down. When I start my STS, sometimes it will resume, sometimes it will resume with ZERO sound. As anyone would normally react, I reach over to the radio to turn the volume up, only I get no response whatsoever. The time still ticks, the nav still goes, but no sound.
Hit any button to change station, and the radio BLASTS you in the face at about full volume. Gotta love hearing damage. It's not muted, changing volume usually defeats mute.
I've brought this in to the dealer since the 3rd month I've owned it (July 2007) to no avail. They have taken it about 10 times with no success in resolving the issue. They've replaced the head unit (whole nav) and the integrated amp. Still same issue. They simply tell me now that they will "close your case as dissatisfied".
This is a $60,000 car (well, new)...and I have the warranty from new. This is not what I expect out of this level of car. What can I do? I can't keep bringing it to them. I can tell they're getting tired of me bringing it in twice a month for this stupid issue.
