The display for the radio / back up camera periodically doesn’t work. The screen is either frozen or black. In the moment, a vehicle restart does not reboot it. If happens in the morning on the way to work, it will be fine after work.

problem #1

Silverado 1500 LT 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,969 miles

I purchased this vehicle 6/6/19 and the problems were evident on the ride home. They have continued and grown worse. The screen flashes every second and beeps. The OnStar voice comes on and keeps asking for number. Doors lock sometimes and sometimes they don't. The Alarm goes off when you open a door. Radio suddenly comes on when driving. The transmission CLUNKS terrible when shifting. Especially when slowing down or speeding up. The front end is weird--it pulls hard to the right. The other night I was coming down a steep hill and applied the brakes somewhat hard and there was a terrible noise! Not sure if it was rear end or what. My husband called it a clunking. I thought a grinding or something like a Tom Cat howling! Everyday is an adventure. You don't know what is going to happen next! The truck sometimes feels like it is stalling out. I was on a steep incline above a pier and I thought it was going to stall. Yelled at my husband to be prepared to swim if we rolled down the hill!
