| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2007 rav4 used in early 2008. It has the factory installed premium jbl 6-disc stereo. Since the day that i have owned it, i have had problems with radio reception. The radio's display was also malfunctioning, so the dealer replaced that, but i still have poor reception. The reception is fine if i am within about 5 miles of a radio tower, but just outside of city limits, i either get static or the signal is lost completely. When i had the display replaced, i told the dealership (bill penney toyota, huntsville, alabama) about the poor reception, but they didn't do anything about it. |
