  1. Yes, this has happen to me as well. I have a 2020 LTZ, radio is on, but no sound. Usually if I turn the truck off and restart it works again. I have a few issues with my radio doing crazy things, stuff my 2014 never did. The strangest one is when I get a call, its shows the wrong contact info. My phone shows the right person calling, but my truck shows a completely different name, if it decides to show a nameat all, most of the time its just the number of the person calling even though I have that contact in my phone.
  2. I have this issue as well, the phone number shows up but not the name of the contact. However I have not tried to repair my phone with the truck to see if that fixes it. I guess the important thing is that I recognize my wife's number so I know not to ignore it! ?
  3. I have a 2020 LTZ and no rear door handle buttons.
  4. I have this same cover, and I just went out and looked as it is currently raining out, and my bed is dry, whoever there is some water drops in a few spots, but overall on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 9 for dryness. Very pleased with the cover.
  5. Well after a bit time away, I am back into a Silverado. I purchased a 2020 Silverado LTZ crew bad 4x4 a little over a week ago. I had a 2014 Silverado crew cab 4x4 LT and put almost 90,000 miles on it in 3 1/2 years. It was a pretty good truck expect it was a shaker, but only between 76-82 MPH, and I didn't drive on the interstate that often so I lived with it. The dealer tried different wheels, different driveshafts, and different tires, but I finally gave up a lived with it. That was the only real issue with the truck. I traded that in for a 2016 Ford Expedition Limited, not my first Ford, and it was very nice. But I was ready to get back into a truck and I had a feeling that the expedition was going to start needing some work done. I had to replace a front hub because the bearing went bad at 74,000 miles, and the AC, and a few other things were not working like they should have been. Gas mileage was not very good, but the main reason for that was me. The ecoboost engine is hard to drive easy, that is the one thing I will miss about the expedition is the ecoboost, it was fun to drive. I put almost 80,000 miles on it and the lifetime average, calculated by hand, but the on board computer, was 15.7. Life time average of the 2014 I recall was 17.5, again calculated by hand, not onboard computer. First tank of the 2020 MPG was over 20, again calculated by hand, not onboard computer. The 2020 is a very nice truck and looking forward to putting some miles on it, it is very comfortable and is very smooth. Glad to be back.
  6. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I had the same cover on my 2014, had no issues with it, great product. However, make sure you pay attention to those plastic stops they you insert on the bed. I didn't check mine and they fell out, and needless to say when my cover was open, the panels hit and rubbed against each other causing all kinds of scratches and missing paint on the cover. It wasn't the covers fault, it was on me. So just make sure you check those every so often. Nice truck by the way.
  7. I have had this same issue...my kids close the door and I would hit the lock button twice and no horn. So i walked around the truck open and closed all doors, hit the lock button twice more and it would beep at me. Next time when it doesn't beep at you, try going around and opening and closing all the doors again. In my crew cab, it is usually the back door on the drivers side, for some reason that door does not close very good.
  8. 2014 Chevy Crew Cab 5.3 6 speed 3.42 20" wheels Vibration over 74mph...Balanced Tires 4 times, road forced tires once, still vibrated. Took tires and wheels off of brand new truck off the dealer lot, still vibrated, put my tires on the new truck, didn't vibrate according to the dealer. New drive shaft, still vibrated. Now have 43,000 miles on it and have given up. About to buy new tires because the stock goodyears are about wore out hoping new tires will help a bit. I only have to deal with it for another 18 months then I get a new vehicle.
  9. Yes, if I have a bottle of pop in the cup holder and it is a bad day for the truck, I cannot open it or it will explode if it is some what full. Now it is not always like that, but most of the time if I have a drink in the cup holder it will shake the drink. Also when it is vibrating bad, I have a rattle in the back seat somewhere, not sure what it is. I have nothing in the door storage area, and as soon as I hear it rattle I know that my center console will start within a second or two. So I know the vibration is moving from the back of the truck towards the front.
  10. I know I can't speak for other people, but my shake is not in the steering wheel, its in the center console and seats. When my center console/seats shake/vibrate my steering wheel is very smooth. And the new drive shaft did nothing. So now I am going to start looking for a replacement vehicle. It just not only baffles me, but also the service manager and the sales manager at the dealership. They have ruled the tires out and the drive shaft out. Only thing left is the rear end, but I don't know if I have the time and at this point even care to keep chasing the vibration. Love the truck, but the vibration just kills the joy of driving it.
  11. Wrench - The dealer has not taken vibration reading because they don't have the tool yet. The dealer I bought my truck from is a small dealer and they don't sell tires. My buddy thought that they would get the tool sometime in July or August. Today they are putting a new driveshaft in. Again, I am not sure if they is the issue, but we will see. Just the way the truck acts, I would think if it was the drive shaft it would be consistent. I am starting to believe it has something to do with the body mounts and the overall stiffness of the truck, It seems with I hit a bump it starts the vibration and keeps going and going long after the bump. Most people look forward to driving down a smooth interstate, but not me! I would it much rather it be bumpy at least that way the seats and center console don't shake so bad. Once the driveshaft is in and I get it back, I will let you know how it goes.
  12. This is exactly my issues. Mine starts at 74...and then at 77 or 78 it is really noticeable. But the thing that baffles myself and my buddy who is the sales manager is that its not constant, I could go over the same road at the same speed and it would be different almost all the time. They took my wheels/tires off of my truck, put them on a brand new truck...no vibration/shake. Put the wheels/tires from the new truck on my truck...vibration/shake. Put the wheels from the new truck back on the new truck...no vibration/shake. My truck now has 30,000 miles on it, when it was new, it didn't have the vibration, it started when the truck had about 14,000 miles on it. At that time they said it was the tires and I was out of warranty of the tires so there was nothing that could be done. But I have kept pressing the issue and they started looking at it more closely. At 60 mph, its very smooth and drives great, but anything over 70 and it just sucks riding in it. Between this and the mylink issues, the crappy shifting transmission, I have not been real overall impressed with this truck. While the truck is being worked on, they have me a 2012 Silverado LTZ crew cab, with 15,000 miles. That things shifts so much better then mine its quite sad. The throttle response is so much better then mine, I think the software in these new trucks are design with maximum mpg and it compromises the driveabilty of the trucks. Ride wise, its no where close to as nice as mine, besides the shaking.
  13. I am going on my fourth attempt to get my vibration to stop. My tires have be balanced twice and they have been road forced balance once. After my road force balance my vibration was worse. They are now going to change out wheels/tires with a truck on the lot to see what that does. The service dept and sales manager don't think that it is a wheel/tire issue but want to rule it out. After that they are going to hook up the vibrating tool that reads the vibrations. Going down the interstate at 77-78 the seats and center console shake terrible, but it is never constant. It can shake the water out of my full cup for a few miles then it will settle down, then it will get worse again, all on the same stretch of road. I can go over the same road, and the truck will vibrate different every time. My dealership has been very good to work with, I am just tired of dealing with this issue. If this attempt it does not get fixed, the truck is going bye bye.
  14. I took mine in finally, and the adjusted the latching mechanism, took about 5 mins and now its tight. Before I could almost push my finger up through the weather stripping on the top of the door, now its to tight. He said with was really loose, he could tell when he got in my truck that was my issue. My dealer didn't even question me, just listen to me, took it back, adjusted it and that was it. Having a good dealer sure helps the process. I have had poor dealers before and it sucks. I think a good dealer will do far more for a manufacturer then any ad campaign could do in personal opinion.
  15. So you can add my truck to the list of the ones that vibrate/shake. My does it at 70 mph and at 78 my center console is shaking so bad it shakes by pop and I can't open it without exploding. I have had my truck in once and they balanced the tires, the dealer I bought mine does not have anything to do with tires, so it went to a dedicated tire shop with a good reputation, so I feel somewhat comfortable that it was done right. But needless to say that it didn't help. I first noticed it about 6-8 months ago, but I thought that after a few tire rotations that I might be able to figure out what tire or tires where bad. Well after 4 oil changes and 4 tire rotations, it has been the same. My truck now has almost 30,000 miles on it now, so we will see how this goes. The service manager did say that this wouldn't be the first truck that have dealt with that vibrates and the tires was not the issue. It goes back in Monday for round 2. My question is with guys that tires have fixed the issue, did you notice that if the tires were rotated the vibration was different? In the past if I had a bad tire in the front you would feel it in the steering wheel more, didn't know if anyone has noticed it.
