yes everyone should have this problem, because it is a factory bulletin from gm, i freaked out too the first weekend i had the car out and had the stereo cranked, it shut off, i had a few broads in the car too how embarasing!! i was so mad i called the dealer to bring it in, when i came to pick it up they infomed me that that was normal operation of the sound system to prevent damage to the sound system. ive spent 10 years in the auto repair industry, and done my fair share with dealers and electronics, why did they do this? they were probably tired of replacing factory stereo's and speakers under warranty because some punk kids were blasting jungle music all the time. i think it was a poor design, first off there is way too many speakers for the small amp in the stereo to handle, second off the speakers are made of cheap paper, and are only 2 ohm!! now wonder the damn thing overheats!! how do you fix this though?? well its not easy or cheap, the dealer says to turn on you auto distortion limiter in your stereo options section, it will tell you how in the stereo controls section in the owner's manual. this automaticly keeps the volume at a safe level so the damn thing dosent shut off when you have a bunch of girls in the car!! the other option, (the option i took because i love loud music) is to rip all the speakers out and buy a 4-channel amp and start out from scratch, i went with all audiobahn 6.5 componant systems with 8 speakers total, 4- 6.5''midrange , and 4 1'' tweeters, i cut out all the factory power to the speakers, and let the amp power the system, the factory stereo i only use as a low voltage imput to the new amp. i have this thing cranked all day and never shuts off, i did this myself because i specialize in auto electric, i dont recommend to do this youself it took me 3 days and i had to rip the whole back interior out door panels and all!! have a good and i mean good car audio shop do it, and dont let them sell you everything, thats why i did it myself cuz i had 3 shops try to sell me a 3500 dollar sound/dvd system, anyone have Q's email me
