Windshield wiper switch and radio will stop working, and then in an hour they will work again. Fuses were checked and no problem. Dealer contacted and will have to evaluate the vehicle when it is not working. Problem still exists..et.

The location of the cup holder right above of radio, caused liquids to seep into the stereo system. The radio began to malfunction and smoke started to pour out of the dash. The dealer is aware of this problem. The radio has been replaced 4 times.

Coffee cup holder placement is above the radio, and by it being directly over the radio, spillls or fluids coming directly into the radio, causes the radio to burn out. The holder should not be over the radio. It causes a problem with no radio, having to drive long distances, not falling asleep.
