2 Software problem

Failure Date: 03/21/2014

I purchased my 2013 chevy Equinox new. Within months the radio turned off while I was driving, the display screen went black, and then came back on to the chevy link display. This would happen whether or not the radio was on. The dealership where I purchased the vehicle replaced the center stack; not once, but twice. As a note, I was told that other drivers with this issue reported the car turning itself off when the screen went black. I have also paid $150 for �software updates� when the car seemed to �lose its settings� after it was out of warranty. Six years later the issue persists, including loss of bluetooth capability for several days, and the clock always runs 2 minutes slow. I can reset the time, but each time the car is restarted, the time is incorrect. The car has also experienced loss of �blinker sound� when the turn signal is on. The signal works, the light is working on the dash, but there is no sound.
