    Yes, I would be concerned. The problem will be demonstrating this issue to the service writer so that action will be taken.

    Hi arkusvt, welcome to PriusChat! :welcome:
    Be careful you're not inadvertently brusing one of the radio buttons and turning it on. The Power button on the radio turns it off or back on to its last setting, but touching any of the other buttons will turn on the radio in the mode for the button you pressed, or switch modes if the radio is on.

    If you're not touching a radio button and it still comes on, take it back to the dealer and hope you can demonstrate the issue.
