Right side speakers front and rear not working. Dealer says all three speakers are blown. I find this hard to believe because nobody has turned the volume up. Has anyone experienced this? I checked the fuses and wiring. The left side front speaker us the only one working. truck is a 2019 with low mileage .

Have to ask, did the dealer use the term "blown"? That is a vague term that can mean so many things. Is your vehicle amplified or just a head unit? Is everything stock?

Did you inspect the speakers for any tears/rips/broken pieces? Does any of the wiring appear burned or fused? Have you measured the watts flowing to each speaker at different volume settings? You can also measure resistance between terminals on speakers, should be maybe 2-8 and a error message such as OL means it is bad.

It is unusual that 3 out of 4 speakers stopped working, once the above questions are answered there will be more to work from. If measurements are normal then maybe, if you have an amp, it has a defect that punched a high signal out and fried your speakers. That can be tested separately. I wouldn't just replace speakers without finding error if you are positive no one turned volume to 'Ear Buster".

Unless you are tied to using a dealer through a warranty, I would find an audio shop , or independent mechanic for a second opinion.

Unfortunately lots of dealers employ parts changers , and service writers that are completely clueless.

If this is warranted the dealer may get paid next to nothing for the job , so they may find excuses to decline the job.
Find a known good speaker to use as a tester, to double check their diagnosis.
Dealers are also known to be big liars. Not to be trusted, unless past experiences have been proven otherwise.
