Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2021, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the head unit or screen (35 reports).

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 63 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

What owners wrote
“My radio changes channels on its own. It disconnects my Bluetooth connection for no reason. The display screen changes from one option to another randomly. This has been happening for over a year now. My research on the internet shows many customers had their radios replaced. Soon thereafter the issue starts all over again.”

“I own a 2015 Chevy Silverado LD. There was a recall that included (among other vehicles) the 2014 Silverado LD and the 2015 Silverado HD but not the 2015 LD. It is for the base radio audio output not working causing audible safety warnings to not work as well. I have this problem on my truck. I took the truck to a local dealership but they claimed to have no knowledge of this faulty condition.”

“Service trailer brake system warning will come up on screen when thereâs nothing wrong with it. It is completely random and distracts you from driving with 3 loud chimes and no way to change to volume of the chimes. Most times it will come on 5-10 times in a row and then go away. Iâve tried fixing it like countless others but no success. The chimes are so loud and distracting it causes headaches and frustration”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 40 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
