Ghost in the machine (radio)

My radio magically turns itself on at times. Driving down the highway with the stock radio off, and it turns on. Happens 2-3 times in a 10 minute span, then back to normal. Anyone see this before? Is there a fix?

Yes, replace the head unit.

Mine would automagically change stations. Find a good aftermarket unit with the features you like.

Mine is a factory replacement and only several months old per the prior owner. I was turning sharply the other day when mine decided to switch from FM to CD.
