2019 Silverado trail boss custom 

I have a 2019  Silverado trail boss custom. My radio volume spikes super loud out of the blue while driving, this has been happening since new, it happens with no warning, it won’t do it for weeks and then it will happen 4 times in one day. The first time this happened it scared the crap out of me and caused a accident, I hit a concrete block at a low speed , no one was injured, thankfully, this issue has almost caused a few collisions. Now I drive with the radio. Super quit to avoid accidents , it’s need to the dealer multiple times .  Between customer care and the dealer I felt like they didn’t believe me, They can’t find the problem, customer care says it’s the dealers issue and the dealer says it’s up to customer care. Finally they have agreed  to replace the stereo, this is great and all but I. Still driving around with a dented fender from the accident. Plus who knows if replacing he stereo will fix the problem . This is a liability , Chevy should replace my fender,  I am super frustrated there’s nothing like buying a brand new truck and being afraid of listening to music while driving, I’ve had the truck since June of 2019 and have not been able to enjoy music while driving this is unacceptable 

 

It has nothing to do with the audio speed control. This is a real issue. When it spikes it’s really loud, it happens while driving 20 km hour : it has nothing to do white how fast I’m going, I deactivated that option on the interface and it still spikes with out warning, on the highway, driving through town to even in a parking lot, it is a untraceable issue, and is very frustrating 

 

is anyone else experiencing this

By default the audio adjusts with the speed. It’s a setting that you can turn off. One of the first things i did.

I just purchased a 2023 Trail Boss : Having the same issue. Radio volume randomly goes full volume and then sends message "Device re-staring". This is a serious safety issue and I am currently being told it is a software issue that GM is working.  Other issues experienced : 1) Sound randomly just goes off like it's on mute. This situation only clears when i stop the truck, turn off the truck, wait a few minutes, and then restart. 2) Intermittent connection to phone. I have had 3 occasions where I get a call on phone and can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me. Again - if I stop and turn the truck off for re-boot everything works fine. 3) Radio volume does not increase very loud and I have static noise. This has only happened once, but cleared when stopped truck for re-boot.

 If this is a software issue, this issue should be occurring on every vehicle sold. This information needs to be disclosed to consumers and GM needs to be aware that this is a serious safety concern. Judging from other posts, this issue is not new and has been around for a couple of years at least.

Similar issue on my 2022 refresh Trailboss LT. Everything was fine until I just took it in for first oil change and recall for DRLs. Next time I was in the truck I had no volume and kept thinking it was my phone not connecting. After messing with it forever and turning off bluetooth, the radio, etc, I finally realized the volume was down. When I used the dial to try and turn it up, it would just constantly override my efforts and turn it back down. Randomly it would stop doing that and I could hear the radio/music from my phone. Intermittent now, so pretty annoying.

My 2022 Sierra did it once a couple of months after I got it brand new. Luckily I was not on a major highway, so I immediately pulled off the the side and turned everything off. It was quite alarming. Hope someone can come up with a solution that stops it from happening in the first place

OK I posted the other day that I had the opposite happen, with volume mysteriously turning down and being unable to turn it up. Today I just had the OP issue with volume randomly spiking to the max and being unable to turn it down. Glad my wife and infant weren't with me. I had nowhere to pull over and turn off the truck, so I just stopped in the middle of the road and did it (nobody was behind me). I opened the door to turn everything off but when I started the truck again it still happened. What in the world is going on GM?!

Not sure if this will help, had a similar issue and I deleted my profile and it all went away.  It works perfectly now.

That is certainly worth trying out, thank you. Anything to not have to go back to the dealer.

I am having the same issue with a 2022 silverado. The volume will spike to a very loud level without warning and it's definitely startling!  I'll have to try deleting my profile to see if that helps!  Happy to hear I'm not alone, but it is frustrating knowing it's been around for years without a resolution.

Happened to me one time about a month ago, not long after the latest software update.   7K miles on the truck.  Is anyone still having the issue?

Happened to me today and couldn’t get it to turn down at all. Tried to call the dealer through the truck else it would go back to the radio but had to end the call because it was so loud. Tried shutting truck off and restart and was still max volume. Dealership says GM sent out a bulletin saying they’re working on it and trying to resolve. Most likely be a recall on the radios.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
