“Vehicle has several electrical problems. The board will go black screen while driving.

It is a new car. I leased it on sep. It would indicate malfunction engine light last time. The vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. I would start the engine and would not shift gear. I had to drive the vehicle mannually at 5 miles per hour to my house. The tow truck took my car 2 weeks ago to the dealer. …”

When using just the radio am/fm setting its not as present but you will get a little static noise.
