Description of the problem	After owning this vehicle for a month or so, i noticed that when i turn on the vehicle the radio screen was half faded or gone. This is the screen that allows you to use the hands free device also. I took vehicle to dealers and they stated that the radio would have to be replaced. I was a bit confused as to how this could happen to a new car but... Stuff happens. I really enjoy this car and have had no other issues.
