Default Radio Problem

For no apparent reason (other than I'm almost out of warranty), my radio just turn off. Dead.

Then, 2 days later after I made the appointment for service which takes a WEEK since they closed the dealers all over, it turned ON again like nothing ever happened.

Dealer won't do anything of course because they couldn't repeat it and it was all part of my plan to waste a day of life without my Jeep so I could get another factory head unit.

Any ideas? Anybody had this problem?

I hope you kept your appointment with them so they documented that you were having a problem with it prior to the warranty expiring.

mine has been doing that since day one
same thing, they cant repeat it at the dealer, the only way i get it working is by disconnecting the battey cable for 10 min and then, boom it works.
so now I carry a wrench in the glove box so when ever it happens i pull over, do the battery thing, and away I go.
...pretty sad though for a 2 year old $40,000 vehicle

Oh yes, I went in and made him documents the couple problems I had so at least there is a record.
