STARTING MY LEMON LAW CLAIM:   After multiple attempts to get my intermittent screen going blank in my 2019 Silverado, I have decided to move forward with a Lemon Law claim and am working with a lawyer.    He feels confident that he can get GM to buy back my truck for what I paid for it.    Unfortunately, I've also spent money to upgrade the rims, install a tonneau cover, running boards, etc.   But, I'd prefer not to have to deal with this on a truck that I'd like to drive for 1-15 years.

What ended up happening after the lawyer got involved?

Mine will not work for DAYS sometimes, and the screen will flash on and right back off once every minute like it is “trying” to boot up. But this has gone on for so long now (over six months) that I know it will not pick up and work until after the GMC logo page appears. I thought it might be a bad contact in the module because it would come on first thing in the morning if it was ‘cold’ outside and then not connect in the afternoon. I am at a loss for a reason. But if this is how GMC manages these issues by just ignoring them. I will trade this 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 with the Elevation package in on a Dodge.

And have similar problems.  Try a titan or a tundra.

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?

My dealership service tech has a "tech case" open for 6 months now on my 2020 with no reply yet from Chevy software engineers; tech said 8 months or more is common for a reply. Tech's best effort was to reset the radio/MyLink system with factory default and showed me how to do it if blank screen happens again. However, display has to be working to reset: tech's tip was to shut off truck, open/close driver's door, and let truck sit for about 20 minutes & display should work again. When I checked last month on tech case, I complained that my Silverado is two models years old and that there should be a fix by now. I was told it is a "software anomaly" and there may never be a fix. Pretty upsetting.

Yes it must be a GM thing. Bought a new Silverado in 2016, by the end of the year it was blacking out. I was told to take out a fuse and wait 15 seconds. This solution worked but it was extremely an annoying. Bought a  2020 Silverado this past August and today the screen started blacking out again. Im done with GM, piece of ******! next truck will either be Dodge, Nissan or Ford.

Do you have the 8 inch or 7 inch display ?  Make sure you record the issues if you can because they try to use a logging system that records after 1 minute time frame for system failures  not seconds  in which most of the failures were 16 to 25 seconds.

My wife's 2021 Armada goes in tomorrow because her infotainment screen shuts off/restarts 3-5 times a week.

Just a heads up.

My 2021 Silverado 1500 that I bought in August just started doing this. The first time the entire radio shut off and went black for about 15-30 seconds while driving and came back on.  Then today, screen went black but the radio stayed on, but could not be controlled.  Parked the truck and shut it off, opened doors and got out, and the radio still stayed on.  After about 5 minutes it shut off and then was fine when started back up.

 

Does anyone know what the current version of the software is?  My truck says it's up to date, the version number is v135119-LS.

My 2021 Silverado 2500HD did the same thing this a.m. on the way to work.  Bought last July.  Screen went black, radio still worked.  Backup camera worked, parked the truck and the radio stayed on after turning the truck off and closing the doors.  Went back out to pull the fuse 5 minutes later and everything was OK.  Disappointing to hear this has been an issue for a couple of years now.

Thanks guys.  Ended up taking it to the dealer on Monday.  They couldn't reproduce anything, so they just reflashed the system with the latest software.  It's been ok so far.

 

They did say that sometimes the radio will do something like that if it tries to push a software update etc...  But it looks like the software they loaded was the same version from last April.  So not sure why it would have been trying to update...

OK , this is how my radio blacks out all the time USB connected  application on phone launches everything gets hot screen blacks out android/apple either cable attached to phone.(10 plus times with a new display/radio installed)  Hint: attach your truck to your home WiFi  that way it auto-updates all the time. The receiver is like a cellphone looking for towers for signal if you have the 4glte service equipment install.

 

 

Settings

Wifi

see your home WiFi signal

select it

then input your WiFi password

then your truck will be connected to your home WiFi for updates and service diagnostics.

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.
