“The screen to my radio is malfunctioning. Not only does this take away my back up camera, it also leaves me so I can not access features of my vehicle: clock, heated seat, heated steering wheel, and other system functions - due to the screen glitching/turning black my MPH has changed to KM/H and I am unable to change it back”
