My silverado has no problems, the controller works fine for me. Just watch the 2021 f 150s. Lots of other weird ellecteical stuff, i said this somewhere else before. Guy at work is in the process of lemon lawing one. Just hope its a fluke.
Just part of the game with newer vehicles.
Except the electrical glitches are less “fixable” with wires and fuses and stuff.
Had 4- 2014 Silverados, identical half tons brand new, up in the Arctic. 2 had no issues. 1 had an issue that required re flashing something a couple times. The last one had a major electrical freak out and got drug onto the back of a winch truck and sent to town never to be seen again.
For the last 4 years I had a 2016 Silverado almost identical to the 2014s. It would have a random black screen on the touch screen and none of the radio/hvac controls would work, even the physical buttons and dials. Was bad once when I had the radio cranked up and then it went black, as I was on the road. So 30 minutes later that radio station was out of range and I had full volume static!
It would reset itself and work fine. Happened like 5 times maybe over a couple years.
Now, the new Silverado once in a while will change the phone volume on car play to full volume. And sometimes can’t think fast enough to change radio stations with the touch screen or steering wheel controls. But the tuner knob still works when this happens.
Knock on wood, both 2016 FCA personal vehicles have had no electrical glitches.
Although through the 10 or so trucks I’ve had with IBCs over the last decade, none have had IBC issues. From all of the big 3.
