The radio, HVAC control panel went blank. The radio, fan, blinker sound and HVAC indicator lights cycle on and off. Unless functionality is disconnected, you can’t drive without the radio going on and off, the speakers crackling, and the panel screen blank not allowing visibility of HVAC position. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer. And the internet reports the same issue from multiple owners with similar vehicle. The dealer and Chevrolet technical assistance center TAC have attempted to diagnose the problem without correcting the problem as of yet. Chevrolet has not taken responsibility for for correction or offered cost assistance. The condition first appeared as the radio going on and off uncontrollably, speakers crackling, and the panel going blank.

The infotainment system's screen will go black and lock the radio on the last channel and volume setting and cannot be changed. When it goes black it also disables the OnStar safety system. If I were in an accident when this happens I would be unable to call for help. This happens almost every time I drive the car.

I have been experiencing problems with my radio for about 10 months now. The problem started when I pressed on my brakes in a city street and the radio turned off and turned back on after a few seconds. I found it odd, but ignored it initially. This problem started to happen more regularly, with a strong association between the radio turning off and back on to using the brakes on my car. Over the course of several months, the problem became more significant, happening more frequently during my drives, and no longer associated with braking, it would just happen randomly now. The radio would turn on and off repeatedly during my drives, whether I was on a city street or highway. At this point, my air would also turn on and off when the radio would start glitching. There were times when I would turn on my car and the radio just wouldn't turn on at all. There was one time that it took 20 minutes into my drive for the radio to finally turn on, only for it to start turning on and off again. This problem can be very distracting while driving, and may cause an accident. As a result, I had to remove the radio from my car and I just drive in silence. The air no longer turns on and off and I can drive peacefully, even though I would love to listen to the radio while I drive.

Key gets stuck in ignition. After several attempts of restarting my car it will finally release. It's getting far worse and I'm afraid it won't come out one of these times.lights flicker on and off the dash even without key in ignition. Loud pop through speakers and then heat/air won't work. Radio kicks on and off. Turn signal plays through speaker. Radio screen will go completely black at times. I only have 45,000 miles on this vehicle and have had these ongoing issues. When I took the vehicle to the dealership they couldn't find an issue, but now it is happening more frequently. Attached picture is showing my radio and air lighting up without the key in the ignition. I'm afraid my battery is going to go dead.

The car navigation screen went completely black nothing can be seen on the screen nor heard through the speakers. I tried replacing fuses and even unplugging the battery to reset the entire car but nothing is working to get mylink screen back on and working.

I have stock everything on my camaro. The radio, turn signals, and A/C glitch out all of the time. My radio will randomly glitch out sometimes with a loud noise coming from the speakers and sometimes quiet. I no longer have control of what station to listen to or the volume. Sometimes it happens every couple of minutes and other times every 10 seconds. If the rear defrost is on, the radio has no sound until I turn the rear defrost off. When I hit the brakes, turn on my high/low beams, or use my turn signal, the radio glitches. It also glitches without touching anything in the car what so ever. Also sometimes when I use my turn signals, it make my speaker sound like they are blown with a loud sound that does not stop until I shut the car off, remove the key, and open the door. Sometimes the sound keeps going even after that. The turn signal click sound doesn't add up to the light flashing anymore. Sometimes the air or heat will not turn on and the lights to that system flash repeatedly/quickly on and off every time the car glitches, door opens or closes, or car gets locked/unlocked. The ignition also tries to keep my key, and my car will not turn completely off until I can get my key from the ignition. I have been stuck trying to get my key out for a few minutes. This is after the ignition recall which did not help in any way possible. The clock has trouble keeping time because of how much it glitches out, and I have also noticed my head lights dim when it does. These problems are only getting worse! It started in december 2018 with just the turn signal making my speakers sound blown and over a matter of a couple of months it has gotten this bad. I'm worried to see what else happens. It needs to be recalled!

While driving the vehicle, it shut itself completely off. The vehicle quit driving and I was unable to accelerate but was able to pull over. The dash display went completely blank and it was as though the power had been completely shut off. At times the key has been difficult to remove after parking the vehicle, but this seemed to be a different issue. After the car shut down, I pulled over and put the gear in park. I then removed the key, reinserted the key, restarted the car and it worked fine. It was very unsafe for the car to randomly just quit driving/working. Luckily I was in a residential area with little traffic.

For the last 6 months when the car is on and driving the radio and AC unit started blinking on and off continuously making loud popping sounds until the radio screen went completely blank. This causes the turn signals to not make any noises when on. The turn signals flash but have no sound, seat belt chime does not work, passenger air bag light comes on and off randomly.
