| Description of the problem | I have had my xg350l for a year and i love the vehicle except for the am radio. The am radio is very poor and has a tremendous amount of feedback and buzzing. It is significantly worse around businesses with electric signs and traffic lights. It never does clear on the stations, there is always a low volume buzz or whine. The dealer installed a capacitor at 2000 miles. Took it back in at 4000 miles, no better and the dealer said that it just the way am radios are. Well i have had a number of vehicles and the other vehicle we own does not have this problem. The vehicle now has 5700 miles and the am radio is awful. Very annoying. I can't believe that there is nothing that can be done to fix it.... Especially when i get in other vehicles of different make and they don't have this problem. It is an infinity sound system, but apparently that doesn't effect the am radio function. *ak |
