Description of the problem | I have two 2013 chevrolet equinox lt and both have the same problem with the radio and center a/c console/heater/defroster. If a usb device is plugged into the receptacle in the center console at times the radio and console stop working. This affects the safety of the vehicle by disabling the defroster control allowing the windows to ice up (especially in michigan). I have asked the dealer as to why it happens and they had no answer. The system has always rebooted fine after shutting the vehicle off for 5-10 minutes. Again this has only happened when a usb device is plugged in. It is my assumption that there is a problem with the booting of the center console therefore not allowing the devices to work. I have searched the internet and there are many complaints for the same item. |
