2017 Tahoe. My Infotainment system is going crazy. It’s as if there is a toddler inside it randomly pushing buttons. It will turn itself on, switch from app to app, put a call on hold, call someone, switch to navigate, try to navigate to a random non-existent location, switch back to Pandora and shudder and jump from playlist to playlist, interrupting songs. It doesn’t always happen, but is getting more frequent and once it starts, all you can do is turn the vehicle off. I called my dealer but didn’t get any intel over the phone. Fixable? Expensive?

Touch screen works - when it’s on the fritz it freezes, but otherwise it works. I don’t think the screen is the problem.

You get the joy of a new radio and climate control assembly. Same thing happened on my 2017 yukon. Luckily my wife got video of it, I called the dealership and told them I'd be dropping it off asap - warranty ran out in less than 500 miles and they used the video as proof of need. Got it covered, so I didn't pay attention to the price.

You could look for one from a wrecked vehicle and have it programmed for yours. They are stupid easy to replace.
