My lawyer just reached a settlement with GM over the intermittent black screen issue with my 2019 Silverado 1500 WT.  After multiple unsuccessful attempts by the dealer to repair it,  I contacted a California Lemon Law lawyer.   GM repurchased my truck for the full price that I originally paid for it plus penalties to settle the case.    Gonna buy a FORD.

What ended up happening after the lawyer got involved?

GM settled the case by repurchasing my truck for the full price paid plus penalties.

I have a 2019 Chevy TrailBoss and the same thing has been happening with mine too. We’ve called the dealership and they said it’s due to the heat or hot weather (we live in Arizona) but to turn it off for a few minutes and turn back on and it should work. Didn’t fix it. It turns on/off whenever it wants. It’s been happening ever since. It happened again today and it was 75° This morning when I turned on my truck. I read somewhere else that someone was told it was due to the “cold weather” in their area. Sounds like an excuse to me. It’s July of 2022 and still no fix for this. This is disappointing considering what we paid for this truck.

O.K. well I guess I am not alone on this subject. I have not seen any recent posts about this since 2019. It is now 2021 and I just experienced this issue on my 2019 Trail Boss. Not controls, blank screen and the radio could not be turned off or down, or change the channel. I turned the truck off then on again. Nothing... When I arrived at home, I checked fuses all good. I went to back it into the garage and it magically worked. No clue how or why. I did not reset, pull fuses or anything. It just decided to work again, which worries me more as this sounds like such an intermittent problem, like most electrical issues (goblins in the wires). Anyone have a fix or has GM announced a fix yet?

It is July of 2022 and my truck is still doing the same thing. It’s terrible. Haven’t heard of a fix as of yet

Happened to me on my trip last week, about 3 hours on the road and screen went blank and I couldn't do anything to reboot it.  Tried shutting the truck down and quickly restarting but that didn't work either.  Shut it down again and waited a few minutes (was going to disconnect the battery but found I didn't have the right wrench) so I started it again and it came back on. 

 

It only happened the one time, hoping it doesn happen again and that it was just a fluke... but after reading this thread I'm skeptical!

My 2019 2500hd is garage kept and babied. Just rolled 30k kilometers and the radio just went dead and black as well. Just my luck, warranty expired in June. Has there been a resolve to this issue? If its programming would I really have to pay out of pocket for a fix?

Make sure you record everything that happens they always tell me they cant reproduce it , but i laugh at them and show the video clips.

I try to keep up with different threads on this issue, its hard now due to the list is so big. I have had this issue since 2020 when I got the truck and see its still going on with 2022 models. I'm getting the feeling that GM isn't looking into this. I would like to know why they are still selling the truck knowing its not working? The truck doesn't seem to have any other issues. My dealer just put in a new screen and then said just keep calling back to see if there is any updates. The GM person that reads these posts has been in touch with me but they aren't doing anything. They keep saying keep in touch with my dealer for updates. I would hope that someone would wake up and fix it. We keep having more people buying trucks with this issue, when are they going to take this serious.

When I do this, like today when I dropped my truck off for the belt squealing, they always tell me that the video is “nice” but it has to do it when it’s there for them to do anything at all…

Taking in my 2019 GMC Sierra Denali for the infotainment center going black.  It's been 2 1/2 weeks with nothing no radio, nav, phone or back up camera's on either the screen or the steering wheel.  Talked to service writers at 3 different dealerships to see if anyone knew about the black screen, nope never heard of it.  Called a fourth and bingo they have heard of it.  Per the service writer "just so you aware it will be over a $1,000 to fix it" doesn't know what the problem is but it will be over $1,000 to fix it.  Are you kidding me???? 

 

I read through the comments and tried the things that worked for others checked the fuses, held down the power for the radio and disconnected the battery which lead to other issues most resolved themselves but the lights on the radio controls stay on.  Came back outside and checked the lights stayed on 3 hours with the truck turned off so I pulled that fuse out.  Don't want have to buy another battery too.  

 

The software updates seem to be a common issue updating the HMI firmware or the V155 update for the 2021 models.  

 

Had my 2006 Chevy 2500hd Duramax for 16 years until it was stolen.  Didn't need the diesel anymore so I bought this truck seems to be a piece of crap having emission equipment issues and now the black screen.  Regrets.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
