Gary S., TX (2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3-L V8)"radio goes off, lights on display go off. radio remains on even after key is removed from the ignition"
Anonymous, TX (2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"The radio would cause a click in the speaker system when the driver door was opened before starting. Upon starting, the radio screen would take 15-20 seconds to display anything, and then it would either display FM 87.9 and produce static in the speakers, or the radio would reboot 2 or 3 times. The dealer kept the truck 3 days and downloaded a software update to the audio system. This has fixed that problem. They also had to apply a software patch to the engine ECM to go with the upgraded software in the audio/controls system."
Gary S., NC (2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3-L V8)"I rarely listen to the radio, but my wife does when she's in my truck and she noticed that the speaker on the passenger side was barely/not working. At my last oil change they were suppose to order the replacement speakers, but I've already had to call a month later to ask again."
Elizabeth B., FL (2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4.3-L V6)"The mic when out. After replacement, not under warranty, I could talk over bluetooth on my phone, but voice commands still wouldn't work.
