It started with the radio static and popping. Then the ac blower was intermittent, then the blinkers stopped making sounds. It was not the BCM. I had that replaced. I took it to Hendeick Chevy in Naples and was told it was the faceplate. They would repair it for $700 plus dollars without installing a new radio! And then they said it might or might not fix the problem. So then I'd need a new radio that they wanted another $450 for...

I have seen numerous complaints all referencing this same issue. With hundreds of identical complaints, there should've been a recall. I am taking it somewhere else to see if it can be fixed more reasonably. Then I'm trading it in and will never own another GM product.

The only positive thing I can say about this dealership is that my service writer, Ryan, really went out of his way to help... But that doesn't get me a working vehicle...

Does anybody know of a simpler way to fix this faceplate issue?

Please sign my petition to recall this issue with the Camaro.

Radio cut off and heat and air controls blink and signals flash but no clicking sound . Did the white wire snip from you tube video and it worked for 4 days now we are back to the same crap. I don't think the radio and heater controls should quit on a 5 year old car. GM should give people a break on the parts to fix this issue, instead of charging $330 for a repaired unit . This is ridiculous!

Looking at the complaints on this site, this has been happening for several years and I think GM should make it right, or my next car won't be a GM!!

10/15/2018 my main issue is 5 weeks ago for 3 days in a row when I would shut the car off, I heard a loud pop coming from my speakers. It sounded like the amp. I was driving it the following day and my boyfriend was with me in the passenger seat and the air bag light kept changing from on to off our whole trip which consisted of 50 miles round trip.

This issue happened again yesterday morning (11/12/2018). Up until 2 days ago (11/11/2018) when the car is started, I get no seat belt chime and the stereo flashes rapidly and goes black and the heater fan comes on and off a few times before staying on.

When I left work on (11/01/2018) I was driving home, and the stereo ejected my cd and the display went black. I got in the turn lane and when I turned on my turn signal and noticed a loud static noise coming from the speakers every time, I turned the turn signal on. The stereo never came back on until the next morning (11/02/2018) when I started the car for work it took 7 minutes for the stereo to come on but still no seatbelt chime. When I left work today still no chime, stereo and now the turn signals make no sound when on.

(11/05/2018) As I started my car this morning the stereo was flashing along with the lights around the heater controls and the fan working intermittently for about 10 seconds and the screen on the radio went black and hasn’t come back on. The heater fan comes on for 2 to 3 seconds and shuts off for 2 to 3 seconds. This occurs continuously until I shut the car off. Every time I start it the same things are happening. When I shut the car off, I can hear a buzzing coming from somewhere in the dash that lasts about 5 to 7 seconds and then stops for 5 to 7 seconds. This will continue for approximately 5 minutes. It doesn’t do it every time.

(11/07/2018) While driving home from work today the trunk open light came on, so I pulled over and went to the rear of my car and it was not open. I pushed the trunk open button on the door panel and the fob several times and it wouldn’t open the trunk. I got back in to the car and continued home and the light went off and I was able to open the trunk when I got home.

So as of today, 11/13/2018 the infotainment system won’t come on, the fan for the heater/air conditioning comes on and off continuously. The turn signals flash but have no sound, seat belt chime does not work, Passenger air bag light comes on and off randomly, the trunk lid open light randomly comes on while driving.

Update from Sep 12, 2021: I had the stereo replaced and haven't had another issue with the heater, blinkers on star or popping sounds. It cost about $1,000 to replace it and I have kept the original in hopes that some day they will recall it and I can be refunded, I won't hold my breath but one never knows

When I first start the car, the radio screen is blank. no sound . The a/c led lights flicker on and off, the a/c will blow then stop blow then stop. As I'm driving, there will be a sudden pop through the speakers, the cd in my radio will eject on its own, the beeping will start for the seat belts that is usually heard at start-up the a/c blower gets really strong and everything works perfectly. As I'm proceeding to my destination, out of nowhere a pop through speakers again and the problem starts all over again. This problem was rare at first, within a months time it has gotten severe. .Happening every time I start car, and several times as I am driving. The duration of the malfunctioning sometimes last a few seconds to 20 minutes or more. Noticed this pop and malfunction happens often when I am step on brake to stop at a red light, or if I make a sharp turn. once when I used the turn signal it shot loud static throughout the speaker system Had to pull over. turn off car and restart to make it stop....
