I've never had the CVT/lurch/stall issue on mine and that sounds like a real problem on yours. As for the radio, I have to reset mine about once every two weeks to resolve the problem you are seeing (just hold in the power/volume knob for about 10 seconds and it resets and works again). Also, the power liftgate is a problem and often does not do what you want. So the radio and liftgate are frustrating.
