Do you have any more info about this problem? Have you reported it yet? I'm not certain, but I think it sounds like a speaker with its voice coil broken...I've heard it before, and it sounds similar.

There is someone else here on the forum that is also having problems with a speaker and the Check Engine light is on in two other cases one has only 10 miles on it and the other 200 miles. What gives?

Don't seem to have the left speaker problem in VIN 1499, but have only had the XM radio on once for about 30 min. (all at one time). Didn't understand whether this was also a problem with others' XM or not.
EDIT: Still have only played the XM radio, but have total of about an hour on it and no problems with the speakers.

Are you dealing with Jerry's or another dealer hereabouts?

New speaker was installed Wednesday and the problem is still with us.
The front left channel sounds distorted. Even the freindly reminder chime is distorted.
Now I am waiting on someone at GM to come up with a solution.

Well the same thing happened to the Blose in my C5 when it was 1 week old. They replaced one of the amps and that fixed it. Sorry to see you have to go through that. It sucks !!

Speaker Problems
I have VIN 0575 and I also have speaker problems - mostly with the passenger front. Stereo is definitely not as good as my C5 was. Hope GM comes up with a solution soon.

Hmm, just replaced both my fronts with Focal K2P's.
Guess I'm glad I did now.
For anyone that wants them, I have a perfectly good set of OEM front speakers. Although you shouldn't need them - all this should be warranty work.

You gotta give GM credit - that was HARD to do! (Make the stereo worse than the C5's that is...)
