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 My mother has a Denali with the same radio as my sierra and it has already been replaced by dealer for around $2k.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.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
