So, I took mine apart, looks like they lied as they never replaced it. I took a heat gun to the back side of the bump and force the bump down slowly with the curvature of my thigh. Moved all the foam padding to where the clips are rather than between each clip. seems to look like new now

I am glad you added this post Morris Lee that tells me I better do my homework and make some sort of marking on the current dash extension and not to mention ask to see the part that was removed to ensure that they indeed replaced it. Thanks again.

I just noticed mine has this at 1000mi during cold weather.

 

I don't want the dash ripped apart. Would 3m tape behind the bulge hold it in place?

3M tape is not going to hold, if anything, you want less stuff in between to prevent it from pushing up. From factory, there is a foam where the bump is, that is what is pushing it up.

 

You need to remove the trim piece on the pillers on the passenger side is the handle with two bolts under the 2 covers. After the pillers are removed, you can pry the dash up with something soft so you dont scratch the dash, about 6 to 8 clips if I recall correctly

After thinking about this some more I believe I am just going to try and find some black welting to install in the joint in this area. Done correctly it should look 'factory' and also stick up enough to cover any gaps that would be visible from the front seats.

2016 GMC Sierra SLT Loaded same issue! 768 miles.

 

South Florida, so temperature not the issue. Coldest night has been 61 degrees.

Will let everyone know how it goes for me tomorrow as I meet with my dealer. Mine has been that way since I bought it last month. Hopefully a real solution will be offered.

Aubin I wanted to point out that earlier posts also said the dealer lied and never actually replaced the part. My thinking is maybe some of our parts are defective. Time will tell.

Took mine in and the service manager is going to replace both the front trim piece that is wavy and the dash as it has a noticeable hump in front of the passengers seat. Really like how nice he was about it and informative about a few other questions I had. Will keep you posted on the outcome as the parts have to be ordered and the work scheduled.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
