Radio smelling like fire

Asked by GuruNW8H3 Oct 17, 2019 at 08:42 PM about the 2017 Kia Sorento SX Limited V6 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2017 Sorento SX.  At about 33,000 miles, while driving, my radio made cracking and gurgling sounds.  The display went to North America from the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic. Then it started to smell like it was cooking and puffs of white smoke emitted from below the dashboard.  It is in the Kia shop right now.  Anyone else experience such a thing?

I hope you have warranty coverage!!! Don't burn your car to the ground.

    My radio keeps going on and off. It will stay off for awhile, come on, go off and on and stay on sometimes. Any idea why it's doing this? Is there a fix or do I need to replace it?
