Default clock returned yesterday

while driving and heading to gym something caught my eye and I almost lost control the clock popped up
I was shocked pulled over and tried to set it. I was very nervous so it took a little time, at first it didn't hold
so I read the manual and it seems to be ok. I was reluctant to turn the car off for fear it would go away again
don't know what happened but happy it's back hope every one get theirs back soon.

Other threads have been posted here saying that sometimes it returns on its own.

Check the date. I believe all of the ones that have returned have a very early date.

Did you recently disconnect the car battery? It took mine four months to come back after disconnecting the battery in December of 2018.

No clock on my 07. This is getting very old.
GM is dropping the ball on this one, or just dosen't give a chit.

The clock on my 2008 with Nav just disappeared about two weeks ago. Nothing happened I just noticed it was gone. Looks like this is an odd thing that just happens...

It couldn't just happen, that I know of. Sometime before the last 2 weeks, the car had to lose battery power. Did you have a problem starting the car, or replace the battery? I had my car serviced, and the dealer disconnected the battery. I told the tech it would happen, and he looked at me like I was nuts, sure enough!

I have an '05 built in April of that year … my clock went out this past March when the battery was replaced at a dealership … I've been following a number of the treads concerning this issue .. I was back at the Dealership for an AC related issue, and asked if there was an update from GM … there is a bulletin which describes a sequence of button pushes on the unit to "wake up" the clock, but unfortunately, it does not work with the earlier units (mine included) … so you might want to visit your dealership, and see if it works on your unit.
