I am also having this same problem on my 2015 SIERRA. Gmc customer care is useless. They have ghosted me on two seperate occasions now I will not even bother contacting them on this issue. The volume goes all the way up on its own. I've tried everything. Truck was bought new by me, it has 120k miles now. I've replaced the transmission once at my cost because gm said it was fine...... had lifters replaced for the afm after leaving me stranded and losing 4 cylinders, a/c condenser replaced (bad welds), driver seat covers replaced twice for tearing (I'm only 200lbs), had to the dealer twice now for being stuck in 4 wheel drive to have computer reflashed, the rear right leaf spring came apart about 20k miles, the transfer case has so much play in it, clunks going in and out of gear. When doing my very first brake job at only 20k miles it was realized the calipers were installed in factory with absolutely NO GREASE on the caliper pins,  causing the premature wear. My mother has a Denali with the same radio as my sierra and it has already been replaced by dealer for around $2k. Been a gm guy my whole life and been happy with that decision but these new trucks are garbage. And gm customer care doest care at all...time to make a change. I'll bet the steering wheel controls are the issue here, probably in the steering column. Yay

Not sure if anyone has the same problem as mine, but I fixed mine on 2018 gmc sierra

 

My volume could go up to 30 ish in volume, when I put it louder it would go down in volume. Has done this to me twice in the last few years.
 

The way I’ve solved this problem is connect my Iphone to the stereo, open Apple car play, goto maps, pick a destination, when she talks turn up the volume, then it fixes your music volume. Not sure why they intertwine with each other sometimes, when they are supposed to be separate.

 

hope this helps someone.

2016 GMC Denali dualie-same problem with radio.  All of a sudden volume goes up & then down.   Red line shows how far volume is up & then a smaller red line continues from that red line.  Just turned truck off & turned auto volume off.  Volume works now.  So we will see as I have tried everything else!  Just found this website so thanks for advice!

First time this has happened to me.  Had the truck for a year and a half.  Was in it all morning, everything normal.  Got back in it after lunch, radio full volume with no control, no response on the screen.  Turn the knob really fast would get it down, but would return to full volume on its on. Shut the truck off several times, no change. I recently replaced the starter, matter of fact, the day before this incident. The radio has done some other funkie things on its own, but not this.  I thought the speakers were gonna blow.  Any suggestions??

I know this is an old post but I just had the same problem where my volume would immediately start going down to 0 every time I tried to turn it up. After frustratingly trying multiple things, here is what worked: once it hit 0, I spun the knob like I was turning it down, and then the next time I tried to turn it up, it worked and has been working since.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
