problem #1

Jan 202005

Escape

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11 miles
Just purchased a 2005 Escape XLT a few weeks ago, and since day 1 the cd system inadvertantely fades in & out to the point where it loses all base and sounds like it's in a tunnel at times. This last for approximately 4-5 minutes and then the normal volume/sound returns, only for it to occur again a few minutes later. Concern here is an electrical problem which could be causing other issues. Have scheduled an appointment for examination.
