I am going to take my car to dealer sometime soon, the car still under warranty till late October this year.
Thanks Dracon, really appreciated!
Yes, you should be able to tune to channel 184 on the Sat Radio, even if it doesn't have Sirius service. It's the preview channel and it works on all Sirius satellite radios (used to sell you Sirius if you don't have a subscription and used for diagnostics purposes because you should always get that channel).

It really sounds like there's something wrong with the Sirius module in the truck, or the antenna.

I would check in the trunk, under the panel. On the left hand side there's the satellite radio box, it should have two cables. A large black connector and a smaller pink connector. Make sure the pink connector is fully connected to the box. That's the antenna coming from the sharkfin.

Otherwise, it could be the sharkfin itself and it might need to be replaced.
