IllustrationI got into my car with my wife and turned on my car an heard a loud boom followed by static in the tweeter speakers. It was startling, distracting and dangerous.

I've also read that the sound is 'only' 109 decibels, the same as a loud sporting event. I would argue that this very loud sound is trapped inside the cab of a truck and not an open-air stadium. It's been 17 hours and my ears are still ringing and they hurt.

Shortly after starting my vehicle and while still in the driveway the audio system blasted static at an unbearable volume. Had I been driving and not parked it was so loud and shocking that it could have caused an accident. I called the dealer but the technician was unable to advise what to do. I had purchased the vehicle just the day prior. There were no warnings or indications prior to the audio blast.
