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.

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
