Altima S 2.5L 4 cyl

  • CVT transmission
  • 22,000 miles

One day I'm listening to the radio and the lcd screen that shows the station and volume level, etc starting fading in and out. You could still hear the radio and everything but the screen was going out. I called my Nissan dealer that I always go to and the gentlemen actually had it happen in his Altima which was great because he didn't think I was crazy. It wouldn't happen all the time but you could tell it was going out. I made an appointment and they replaced the radio.
