Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing radio freezing issues, where the radio and center stack may become unresponsive, often triggered by leaving an iPhone plugged in while using various apps. Additionally, connectivity problems have been noted, potentially stemming from a faulty antenna connection, a blown fuse, or incorrectly configured radio settings, making it essential to check all connections during troubleshooting. Furthermore, some customers have reported increased noise and vibration at specific RPM ranges, which have been addressed in technical service bulletins. These bulletins also tackle software issues that could affect noise and vibration levels. To effectively resolve these concerns, owners are advised to check connections, test fuses, and follow the guidance in technical service bulletins, while also ensuring the radio code is correctly entered after any resets.
