The infotainment system (radio) on my 2017 Chevrolet grand sport Corvette suddenly and without warning malfunctioned/failed on or around in 2023, whereby the eight inch screen on the infotainment system went completely black/blank, whereby my radio produced no audio sound nor allowed me the ability to view the screen (on the infotainment system) while placing my vehicle in reverse-which is very useful when having to place the vehicle in reverse. I personally believe that during the period (2023 thru most of 2024) in which my infotainment system was not working properly, that my safety and/or the safety of others was placed at risk due to being unable to use/view the rearview camera while placing my car in reverse. In August of 2024, I reached out to Chevrolet customer assistance center (by writing a letter) this matter and requesting financial assistance to repair my infotainment system. I submitted verification with my letter, that the matter I was writing about was "a well known issue/problem" as reported by Corvette magazine (which I subscribe to) and with computer prints/verification(s) of discussions in Corvette enthusiasts internet chat rooms, whereby several Corvette owners also reported having issues/problems with their infotainment system malfunctioning. Chevrolet customer assistance center replied to my letter and agreed to reimburse me for half of the $1700 required to repair the radio/infotainment system. . Genesis Chevrolet in eastpointe, mi. Completed the repair of my infotainment system.
Center screen completely dead. No audio, video or reverse view thereby causing a safety problem. The reverse camera does not come on and there is no display. Unable to see anything while reversing due to the way the car is designed.
