The stereo/infotainment system in my truck attempted to do an over the air update at some point and it failed. Now it is stuck on a screen telling me that I have to take it to a dealership to get it fixed. I did so and there saying that I need a whole new stereo. Just wondering how this isn’t covered by Chevrolet when it’s such a known problem with these stereos. Also while all this is going on and the stereo is stuck on this screen it doesn’t allow any of the infotainment…

NHTSA complaint #11761203 · source - Filed Aug 29, 2026SCElectrical SystemEngine
Purchased vehicle in August of 2025 and there was an open recall for engine issues at that time. Took vehicle back to dealership in October or November for dealer to inspect. The vehicle passed the engine test and oil was changed to a heavier weight. From October/November 2025 I’ve been noting that there’s been a significant loss of engine oil prior to scheduled maintenance that requires anywhere between 4-5quart top off every three months or so. Feels like the vehicle is…

This vehicle suffers from parasitic electrical drain. Is the car sits for a few days, it draws power down from the battery, which then causes the collision detection system to stop functioning.

The digital dashboard display began to flicker. Off more so than on making the dash unreadable. No speedometer, no fuel gauge, no gauges of any kind. When you received an audible notification from the vehicle, you had no way to see the message. As far as any vehicular information, you were not able to see anything.
