I have a 2016 Custom Silverado.   My radio control will not allow me to increase my radio volume.  It gets to about 35 them the volume actually starts to go down as I turn the volume up.   Anyone having this issue and if so are you aware of a solution to this?

I'm having the same issue with my 2017 Silverado custom. It's going to the dealership next week to have the recall fixed and are going to look at the radio as well. I'm hoping to get an answer as to why its happening. I will update with an answer if I get one. If you find out what is causing the problem with the volume please let me know.

My 2015 just last week started to change the radio station on its own. Pauses live radio, or just skips back a min or so in the broadcast. And when this happens the speedometer switches to the radio display. I have a video but am not sure how to post it.

Just had the issue with the volume going down all the way on its own. After reading all the posts here played with the steering wheel volume control by punching the buttons. That did the trick for me; something must have gotten stuck there.

I have the same exact problem on my '17 Sierra Elevation Edition.  Max volume seems to be around 35 or 40.  The volume decreases above 40.   Its annoying not being able to hear the radio if its raining or passing a semi on the interstate.

Sounds to me like you need your HMI updated to latest spec, pretty common, kind of annoying to do because it ties up the stall for a while programming.

Hope this helps

Just had this problem with my 17 Silverado. The volume wasn’t working properly I would turn it up to 60 and it would actually turn the volume down. Very simple fix my fellow bow tie fans, unhook the negative on your battery and let it reset for about a minute or two then throw it back on it will reset the system. Good luck guys

I have a 2015 Silverado I was driving down the road and my display with the MPH showing went from there to what was playing on my radio. I went back to the MPH and it went straight back to the radio station again. Then when I went to use the push button on the radio screen to change the channel it wouldn't change the station. I could do it manually with the knob and could change the volume with the knob. I really don't want to take it to the dealership to have them charge me an arm and a leg for something simple that I could do by myself. Does anybody have any suggestions.

I was having problems with the volume control buttons and volume knob on my 2014 Yukon.  The manual and online were no help.  I went into the Auto Volume menu and tried the buttons and knob there and they worked.  When I backed out to a radio station they still worked.  May not continue, but the volume controls are working right now.

This happened to me last week, I have a 2015 2500 diesel, my truck had been sitting for two weeks, I started it and drove it only two minutes then rolled down the windows and listened to the radio.  After 1+ hours the radio went to max, I turned it down and within 5 minutes it did it again, at that point it wouldn't turn down any more so I just shut it off.  An hour later when I went to start the truck it turned over slow like the batteries were drained.  I had the batteries and alternator check out and all were good.  So I think in my case, the radio going to max volume is an indicator telling you the batteries are starting to drain to low.  I did drive the truck for several miles after this happened to charge the batteries back up and the radio has worked fine ever since.

I've been to my dealer multiple times for this issue and still no results!

Anything that's wrong with chevy trucks between 2014-19 is "normal"

Although I did get my screen replaced and has seamed to fix my issues ( not same as your issues) but mine would change stations, switch to gps on its own( sometimes 20-30 times in a 20 minutes drive)

Could be a bad screen?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
