I've been having the same problem with my 2019 Sierra base.  Sometimes goes black with sound but can't switch stations, sometimes no sound and sometimes freezes and when I get out and lock the truck the radio doesn't shut off.   I had similar problems with my 2016 Buick, but that was fixed with an update.

I've been trying something different,  I've noticed that when not having my phone plugged into the usB port on the dash using bluetooth only, I haven't had anymore problems so far, so I'm thinking if it's the cord or the USB port on the dash. More towards the usb port because when my phone is plugged in it still charges my phone. Still seeing what happens. I've just had 2 updates at once a few days ago.

I had the same problems with the previous 18 gm car that I have with my 19 custom. I will say tho the stereo in my 03 hd was a pos also tho so it's nothing new.   Radio is black one day the next it works but nothing on the screen works.  I'll try those few things temporarily but with 1500 miles on it this shouldn't happen. Other than the radio I love the truck...its a shame.

You might be on to something I have only had it happen when the phone is plugged in, didn’t really think about that until you mentioned it. My cable is good it’s high quality and new.

gmc  pickup   - aug 2019  when the salesperson gave me the tour,  the radio did not work, then after several attempts it worked - they pretended they had never seen this before..   3000km  later not fixed.  Tried software , same problem and they said that they will change the radio .     not confident that they will fix the problem - seems to be a bad design -   they new it when they sold me the new truck -crappy for an expensive truck. will let you know.   Time to get an agency involved (consumer).

Same thing here: its happened with my truck (26k miles) & it appears to be related to apple-car play or the usB connection. When mine goes black I hit the “home” button on my dash & use it on bluetooth. Seems to work that way, so im guessing we either have bad usb ports or Apple car-play is the culprit

Same problem  and I have never plugged anything into my Phone.   

They said a software update was required - they had  it for 4 hours and said that the upload is complete.    Next day , the radio quit. 3 dys later it worked - so I checked the latest update report on the radio - it said June 1970 - 50 yrs ago.      I don't believe that there is a fix.  I will ask for my money back!

You'll have to find out your states lemon laws, it will require a certain amount of attempts to repair the same issue without the repair being successful. In my state it is 4 attempts and/or the vehicle is inoperable in the shop for at least 30 days. 

 

I've done the lemon law process before, but not for an issue like this, so not sure if it will apply being an infotainment issue, but believe it should.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
