Radio reception may be disturbed by the use of electrical equipment not approved by the Brand, such as a USB charger plugged into the 12 V socket.
The surrounding environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, car parks, underground areas...) may block reception, including in RDS tracking mode. This is normal behaviour of radio waves and in no way indicates a fault with the radio.
