Why is my radio turning off and on by itself?
Just got a new 2019 4Runner SR5P 6 weeks ago. Only have 1300 miles on it and the radio is turning off and on by itself. Keeps doing it for about 20 mins then finally shuts off. This happens every time I start the car. Took to dealer service dept and they tried to fix it…picked it up and still was not corrected.
