Hey guys. So my 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation has a new issue. When I shut her down and open the door the radio continues to play. I have to hit the power button for the radio/screen to shut down. If I return to the truck and hit the power button the radio turns on without turning it to accessory. I thought it might be that it needs an update. Well it’s connected to wifi at the house and it says no update or when I cycle on and off a couple times that now is not a good time...what is going on here. I’m expecting a dead truck in the next couple mornings to come. Also it’s very cold here. Any ideas?

I have the exact same issue, started this week. It does shut off about a minute after I get out and lock the truck.

Mine won’t. I can go back in after an hour or longer and turn it back on by hitting power. Why all of a sudden are these trucks doing this?

Does yours still do it? I have a feeling that many others are going to be experiencing this in the near future. Maybe the truck needs a vaccine.

I checked it again sitting out there for several hours. I can unlock it and hit power and viola radio turns on. Also notice that when I hit power again to “turn off” the screen in between the tach and speedometer goes black but still is on.

My truck was dead this morning.

I unlocked my truck last night to get something and then closed door, went back in house.

 

now I'm wondering if my truck had the radio in all night.

Check to see if there is a update for your truck you can do yourself 

Should be a open software update they sent out which you can check thru settings on your truck 

which when they send it out the radio will stay on even if you open the driver side front door 

seen it many times should take 10-15 minutes if there is a open software update

I have checked a bunch of times and it says no update available or the update button is greyed out. When greyed out it says now is not a good time etc, put in park and try again. Oh I’ve tried again and diddly squat...terrible feeling over here. I won’t be surprised when I try to start tomorrow or the next and it won’t. Hoping someone has the fix or knows why it’s doing this.

Mine did this for the first time this week. I had gotten notice of the update the same day. I wonder if it was staying on to prompt me for the notice, but won't if the truck is off.

It's only been a few days, but I haven't had it happen since I did the update. Might have been coincidence too.

This happened to me once but I just cycled the battery power by leaving the negative terminal unplugged for about 5 minutes and it hasn’t happened again

When it finally did the update was the truck connected to wifi at home or was it able to update via cellular on its own? Maybe if I let it run for a period of time it might update.

I might try this today if it won’t update. Does your truck have the update? What year is yours?

When I looked for an update it didn’t have anything available so I’m assuming mine is updated before all of this happened. Mine is a 2020. What is the current software?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
