Similar issues to "occasional beeps in radio" thread.
I am seeking assistance FOR my current Dealership in resolving the following issue (s). Please note: this is not a gripefest, I am listing the events to identify the order of issues, in the event that they are related.
Multiple Dealerships have not been able to resolve the problems, although the current one (Bartow Chevrolet, Bartow Florida) has been the best help.
Vehicle: 07 LTZ, NAV, rear entertainment.
Issue(s) started at 435 miles on the odo, while driving listening to XM, all audio controls shut down:
Nav screen remained on
No sound
Onstar would not work
Back-up camera would not work
No turn signal sound
No door chime
Driveability appeared ok
After vehicle sat for approx 10-15 minutes, vehicle was restarted and everything seemed to operate. Dealer replaced headunit.
Then it got wierd. The battery was dead one morning. It was charged and things seemed ok... for about a week.
While driving (any road surface), at random, the speakers would emit a loud static / popping noise- like that of an electrical short. The sound would quit, and many electronic functions would lock up (Nav, backup, sound). After restart, conditions returned to normal.
When showing it to the Dealer the key was removed from the ignition and the audio continued to play- however it continued even after driver door was opened and closed. Dealer replaced door lock latch.
Conditions reappeared. ( when stating "conditions reappeared", this means all the above PLUS those additionally mentioned )
This time after letting it set overnight, battery was dead. Dealer did multiple firmware updates.
Conditions reappeared, remote start would not consistently operate.
Then the DVD would not restart after ignition on (had to eject the disc to get it to play)- dealer replaced rear screen. More firmware updates.
Conditions reappeared.
Then the A/C intermittently had different Dual-Zone temps. Dealer replaced Actuator. More firmware updates.
Conditions reappeared. Radio continues to play after key removal (and cycling drivers door), dead battery.
Then Check engine light appears. I think they suggested a throttle body cleaning- plus firmware updates.- done
Conditions reappeared. A/C intermittently has different temps.
I was told that condition of radio continuing to play without key in ignition (and cycling all doors except driver) is normal operation. This sounds ridiculous to me. Try this: with engine running, exit vehicle and close all doors. Go to passenger side, open door and turn off ignition/remove key. Radio will continue to play. Open and close the door. Radio will continue to play. Is this normal operation?
Dealership replaced other actuator, found Primary Harness fuse holder loose/burned- replaced harness.
Conditions reappeared.
Dealership replaced amplifier, rear entertainment control head.
Conditions reappeared.
Now the vehicle is out of warranty. Chevrolet has been called in on this, and they have helped offset some of the cost the Dealership is incurring, however the concern here is that the problems have never been corrected. ( The check engine light is back on too )
If anyone has had any success with resolution of any of these issues, I would greatly appreciate any feedback that I can provide my Dealer.
Thank you.
