    OK, so heres the deal. Occasionally when I try to use my steering wheel controls for the radio, they mess up..
    The Volume Up button turns the volume down, the channel down button turns the volume up... and I cant change channels...
    I've tried turning the radio off, on, changing through aux/cd.. and it still doesnt work..
    When I turn the truck back off, and on.. they'll start working again...
    For a little while..
    Is this something to do with the radio, or what?

    Agree with Jester- This might be the newest version of the 09-10 radio issues, or a problem with a bad clock spring, or something else completely. But it's their job to fix it up.

    x2 on the warranty thing.

    But it def sounds like a clock spring problem to me. My steering wheel control backlighting is messed up too, when I turn the wheel they light up, but when at center they do not. So maybe a way to test it would be to try using the controls with the wheel upside down or sideways, at least to just confirm that's the problem.

    I don't have any problem with mine. That is the first time I hear about it from your new truck.
