Description of the problem	This is an intermittent and random problem. Radio/disc player turns itself on and off going over bumps and/or when cornering. Sometimes radio is on, but all displays are blank, and radio does not respond to any controls, including the power button. Sometimes the problem resolves by shutting vehicle completely down and restarting. Sometimes it takes several restart cycles to resolve. Dealer service department stated that this "is a known problem," but that "no recall had been issued." i realize this doesn't rank up there with tires and fuel tanks. Nonetheless, having an electrical component behave like this makes one wonder about the possibilities for an electrical fire. Also, having any piece of equipment behave this way definitely increases the risk of accident due to driver distraction. More than once i've been physically and mentally startled when the radio unexpectedly turned itself on and blasted me with my kids' music.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
