NHTSA complaint #10114948, filed 2005-03, 14,595 miles“The entire audio system in my 2004 Gmc yukon has no audio. The lights are on so it appears that it should be working. You can turn the volume completely up and get no sound. The am/fm radio does not have sound nor does the xm radio or my on star. If you stop the car, put it in park, turn off the ignition, open the drivers door, close the door, put the key back in and restart the car, it will sometimes restart the radio (reboot the system). The dealership has been unable to determine the cause. This has occurred multiple times.”
