When I opened doors the fuel pump turns on, while I'm driving it shifts and runs funny and you hear popping noises. The gauges mess up and radio turns on and off. Like its being hacked.

The radio will come on by itself with the truck shut off and keys out of the ignition. The radio changes songs on its own, freezes up and repeats music from ipod(s). Tried 4 different ipods, 2 different cables. GM replaced the him module, main computer, and radio. They say their programming is not compatible with apple products. To date, the issue remains with the radio as GM says they can't fix it. It has been in the dealership 4 times for a total of 15 days. The issue with the radio occurs both when stationary and moving.

  • 8,300 miles
This has happened twice. The vehicle will not shift into gear, the power steering doesn't work, and other electronic options do not work. This has only happened when the vehicle is stationary. The first time it was parked and started, the weather was around 50F and clear. The second time was after getting gas while parked, the weather was clear and around 82F. After the vehicle sits for 10-15 minutes (off after the first start) you can restart the vehicle and it will go into gear but in a limp mode state. The power steering light will work but the vehicle does not shift correctly and the radio does not work correctly. These incidents happened approximately 5 months apart.
