It's not just trucks doing it . I have a 2015 Chevy spark and my radio does all that and more. It resets my stations that I have set as favorites. It scrolls through pages on it's on. And it makes a lot of beeping sounds and nothing changes. I wonder if it could be the clock spring making it do this. If anyone has the answers please let us know. Thanks

You have to contact OnStar to actually disconnected along with the Wi-Fi. However, I believe it’s not OnStar or your Wi-Fi is the problem it is your shark fin. My vehicle is doing the same thing along

I have been having the same issue with my 2016 2500 Silverado. I have the remote controls in the steering wheel. The info area in the center of the dash will track what the touch screen will do too. Goes to radio when on info, will change stations and now the display will shrink from time to time. Thinking about seeing if I can replace the screen with an after market item, has anyone looked at that possibility?

I had this problem and youtube video showed a cable behind the glove box , I believe it was a blue connector from a computer to the radio . This person on youtube had a 2015 Denali. Unplugging and reconnection the cable fixed his situation. I had the same problem with the screen going crazy. This didn't fix may situation but the cable had to connect to the radio. I pulled the radio and unplugged the blue connector , looks like a phone charging cable . Problem solved and it has been a few weeks no problem. Hopes this helps somone. Good luck.

My 2017 Denali HD started all this recently.  Why hasn't GM been forced to recall all these defective radio units. Seems like all GM radios in different vehicles are doing this. GM I am so disappointed in you for not doing the right thing!

It is the digitizer on the LCD. You can pick up an after market one on ebay. For my 2015 Tahoe it was 55 pin version but I think most models thru 2019 are the same.

having issues on my 2015 now it is having a "Ghost" touch in the right upper portion of the screen.  So far I have recalibrated screen, reset the system to factory defaults and cleaned the touchscreen but it is still occurring.  I can deal with most of it but the part that is driving me nuts is that when I am using the phone it keeps placing the call on hold and the only way to resume the call is to do it from my phone's screen.    

Keith, I sent you a PM. please contact me!

I have finally changed out the digitizer that I earlier posted on this thread.

Problem solved.

The process was fairly easy and took about 45 minutes & about $300 with shipping

Its been a couple of weeks now & no more jumpy/rolling/drifting screen.

 

I an glad to get this behind me.

Let me know if you have any specific questions on the DIY digitizer replacement.

 

Regards,

2018 GMC Sierra. Phantom presses started about a year ago and went away after a few weeks.  Now, they're back with a vengenance! Everything this thread has experienced, phone switching like call end, mute, changing stations, showing the station guides, changing the settings on the infotainment system. 

 

For Wyatt1963, has touch screen fix continued to work for you?

Yes, everything is back to normal for me. I replaced the shark fin at one point thinking that was the fix. It was not. So the digitizer has solved the issue for me. I hope this helps others with out involving the dealer.
Maybe now it’s time to sell??

I'm on my third screen now - its definitely the digitizer-to-display glue or whatever they use.  I used OEM replacements (cheap chinese junk) and they both failed at the same exact spot at the bottom left of the screen where it phantom touches.  the newest one is just starting to take a crap on me but is still usable.  If you use android auto its a pain in the ass cause its going to keep messing with your google maps and send you somewhere else lol.  Seems the screen tends to act up more when its hot vs cold and the glue either binds or separates causing the phantom touches.  I've even tried to heat treat and press the screens back together but next time I'm going cheap and replacing the digitizer assembly as wyatt had done.

My 2018 just started switching the info screen between the speedo and odo from digital speed to audio; at the same time the main (big) screen switches from audio to a list of radio stations. Otherwise perfect satisfaction after 48,000 miles. If it costs a lot to fix I am not spending it. Next time I would buy the longest possible warranty all this new stuff is trouble-prone junk.

UPDATE: got in just before noon; large touch screen would not respond to any command, even from the wheel controls.

I determined that once it cooled down some from the ac, it started working. This is the first time I noticed this, though.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
