1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

There was an electrical burning smell in the cabin of the truck and then the radio stopped working. I called the dealership who confirmed that they had issues with previous models and newer models as well but said my 2017 silverado lt was not included in the fix. I took it in and asked them to see if there were any error codes and I was told no error codes everything was clear. There were no warnings no lights nothing just the burning smell. I spoke with another gentleman who has a 2018 silverado lt and said his radio goes on and off and the screen is unresponsive. Yes the vehicle is available upon inspection. My truck could have possibly caught fire due to this especially with the electrical burning smell. This all happened while the truck was off in my driveway.

When driving the radio goes full volume, then after about 15sec ( and spilling your coffee all over the place) it turns down then the radio screen says restarting. Now 2 issues this is going to blow all of my speakers and no one will warranty it ( cause its not my fault it goes full on) and the other issue is . . . I'm driving at 5am and this thing goes full blast and when your drinking your coffee or anything and this sudden jolted impact of noise hits ya scared the crap out of you. . . This needs to be fixed. . . It happens like once a month. . Very random. . . But it happens after the truck has sat for a work shift or in the morning but not always in that scenario.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 03/16/2023

I am having an issue with radio not playing, it may at beginning of trip or not. It does not make a difference if you turn off and turn back on. It will only start audio when it wants to. During the time period of no audio - the blue tooth does not work either. I can hear people but they cannot hear me. I have had this at the dealer and have been told there is no fix for this. This is a safety issue. On star would not be able to hear me , or I cannot make a call if needed in an emergency. This is very serious, I have asked for a vehicle replacement. I have been in contact with general motors with no resolution at this point. This truck is new and signed papers December 22nd.

They said they drove the truck around and nothing happened. I left and it shut completely down once and flickered twice. Im hoping this is covered under warranty. Im at 43000 miles. Help!.

Upon turning the vehicle on there were no alerts like seat belt warnings, door open, hands free calling, onstar. Also when shutting vehicle off no alarm to indicate keys are in the ignition. Cannot hear if blinker is on. Nothing comes through the radio. This happens on an intermittent basis. Approximately every several months. Sometimes it will start the sheets if I shut the vehicle off then start it back up. Today it didn't do that. At this time my truck has approximately 80,000 miles. Also on occasion the service electric breaks have indicated an issue as well.

13 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 07/03/2018

All sound stopped on my truck. Radio, turn signal feedback, etc. It was working at end of day but did not work the following morning. I searched and found recall #14315 but your web site says there are no recalls for my vehicle. It has exact same symptoms as described by that recall. I googled symptom and found where someone had disconnected battery for awhile and that fixed it. Did for me too but feel the fix in recall 14315 should be applied to my truck as well.

When the horn is konked the mylink and radio go dead. The dangerous part id the dash functions acting erratically. Hope it does not stall on my on the highway infront of a semit truck or something.

15 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

When putting the vehicle into reverse for the purpose of backing up, the radio screen illuminates to a blinding level of brightness when the rear camera view is displayed. This is especially noticeable at night and impairs my ability to see out of my windows. There is no adjustment within the radio settings to fix this issue, and the rotating dial to the left of the exterior lighting knob will do nothing to dim the screen when in reverse. During normal operation (not in reverse), the screen is able to dim with the rotating dial whether parked or driving. I believe this is a software issue that if not resolved, could result in detrimental impacts to driving safety, especially at night. If Chevrolet/gm could implement an update that would allow a software update to put a "soft" button into the settings menu, I feel that overall visibility would be improved greatly and temporary night blindness would be a thing of the past. My vehicle is not the only type of gm vehicle affected with this issue.

16 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 08/16/2017

Radio volume and turn signal sound stopped even radio on. When turned completely off, phone symbol started flashing on radio screen and stayed on. Security alerts for seat belt, door open and key in ignition also not working. Has progressively gotten worse. Vehicle was stationary when first started and problem as continued while driving. When turned off the radio display will not go off even though turned off. Dealership has no clue what's wrong. Saw online where 2014 silverado recalled for base radio problems that are similar to this problem (14v301000).
