What owners wrote
Driver distractions caused by a repeat infotainment system failure and loud speaker popping noises. Specifically, multiple times a trip while driving, the infotainment system goes through the following cycle; speakers pop loudly (even if the sound is off), then the infotainment screen displays the message "network communication lost". Then system shut down. The system will restart in 5-10 minutes and then go through the same process again and again. This happens every time the vehicle is driven.
Short in the electrical system causes crackling/popping to come out of infotainment speakers. Infotainment system can be set to off and problem will still persist. The crackling and popping can happen randomly and to various loudness levels. Under abrupt braking or road bump, problem will occur loudly. The noise can sound like road gravel hitting windshield and is very distracting. Weather, such as very humid or raining conditions worsens the problem and increases odds of it happening.
