    Hello everyone. I’m new here and new to the Prius. The wife and I recently bought a 2010 prius cause her new job and due to the commute. The Prius is in really good shape. Now this is an intermittent problem. Not sure where to start but I couldn’t find anything online.

    So the radio works but sometimes when you select the preprogrammed station buttons the radio will turn off. When this happens you can only change the station if you hit the tune or seek button. Again this is intermittent and not a huge deal.

    Along with the radio issue we also have an AC problem. So if we put the AC at max AC it works and blows good air. Then within a couple of minutes the max AC will deselect and the fan speed will go to the middle. If we select max AC right after it works fine but it will do it again a few minutes later. Not sure if this is something that is connected with the radio issue. So as my kids call it it’s a glitch. So want to see if anyone can guide me into what this could possible my. Thanks in advance.
