Did you play with those radio knobs? Sounds like your radio died.

I have the same problem replace the stereo nothing I have a pair of Kenwood 4 speakers for all the doors which I will be replacing soon and I know this will not fix the problem I believe it is the wiring while under warranty they would never fix it. Everyone has his problem and it should be a recall but they will lose millions and you know how this world works

I forgot to add every time it is sunny out I live in Florida after a day all the speakers coming on and work rate if it rains I only have the tweeters so it has to be a wiring short somewhere or the connections at the speakers are getting wet no idea but I know replacing the speakers is not going to do a thing I'm using my old speakers that are in there I'm actually going to cut the speaker out of the bracket that is built on to it and use the bracket to mount my new Kenwood speakers . I will update soon

And I must have got a lemon I've only got 55,000 miles on my 2009 I've replaced so much stuff both intake and exhaust cam sensors struts control arms ball joints shocks all headlights and tail lights my headliner is hanging horribly. Those stupid stickers they put on the back flare outs before the wheel gets so dirty under them and they're impossible to get off I've tried a heat gun various different things so I have to resort to peeling it off with my nails a few millimeters a day one side is done the other side half is done my car looks immaculate for a 2009 but this is the most pathetic car I've ever bought in my life. I must have got a lemon because. Also replaced much more than that. Also after the recall for the ignition they gave me two new key fobs and the unlock button does not work on either one after 2 weeks. I purchased another one paid $80 to have it activated and after two weeks the same button broke so I have three key fobs but I have to use the key to unlock my door the list goes on and on three sets of tires three sets of brakes in 55000 miles I can't remember what else oh I pulled into my driveway and my fan fell apart I guess one blade broke off and broke all the rest off so I had to go about buy a new fan assembly and install that I still have buttons out on my windows main control works all other windows well except mine. This car is a POS my first new vehicle hahaha

Ok For the key fobs take a them apart w a screw driver or knife just wedge it open . once youve done that take the green motherboard and the rubber red and greyish black button pannel apart. see those lil blk dots? now take a tiny and i MEAN TINY lil pice of tin foil and lick it...you heard me just alil too make it stick to the blk magnetic dot on the rubber part of the key fob button...the idea is that the foil will be a better conductor for the current. Ive done this and it worked...i have a background in sound engineering so figuring out work arounds is my thing...

I had the same problem in my 08 HHR. I'm an electronics engineer and I found my problem was with a small fan for the built in amplifier. When the fan stops (or doesn't start) there's a logic problem arises that won't allow the amp side of the speaker output (every speaker besides pillar tweeters) to turn on. Replace the fan built into the radio assembly or the entire radio. If u replace the radio, the problem will likely return since this fan is cheap Chinese - poor quality & grossly understrengthed.
