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?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
