Mazda drivers in one part of the United States have found themselves stuck listening to public radio after their car's entertainment system got jammed on one frequency.

Dozens of owners of the vehicles in the Seattle area are unable to change the channel from 94.9 FM, while others are doomed to watch their multimedia screens endlessly -- and fruitlessly -- reboot.
