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?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
