Consumer Description
SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, A 2019 ENCORE SPORT TOURING, HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEREO VOLUME AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.. WHEN SWITCHING FROM FM TO XM THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN AUDIO VOLUME. THE VOLUME WHILE LISTENING TO XM IS WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER AS NORMAL HOWEVER WHEN SWITCHING TO FM THE VOLUME IS ONLY 1/2 (WITHOUT ADJUSTING/MODIFYING VOLUME LEVEL) OF WHAT IT WAS AND NOW REQUIRES ALMOST 3/4 VOLUME ADJUSTMENT AND SOUNDS MUTED AND STILL CANNOT ACHEIVE SAME SOUND QUALITY. HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH DEALER AND THEY STATE THEY CONTACTED GM. THE ANSWER WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE "THIS IS NORMAL" OPERATION. HAVE LISTENED TO OTHER STEREOS IN OTHER CAR'S (INCLUDING BUICKS) WITH AM/FM AND XM AND THEY DO NOT SUFFER FROM THIS SAME ISSUE. WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE SOLVED.
