Has anyone had this problem? Got a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali a couple of months ago, and my screen has gone dead three times. It’s at the dealer now, they’re trying to find a software update, but I already did the one when prompted. (Pictures came out sideways).

I know you guys will think I’m crazy but I fly for the Military in a fully digital cockpit. If we rush certain things on startup or change one step during the display boot sequence it can cause a numb

+1 ....I'll be real happy if this is the only issue with my 2019 Go read the RAM forum if you think you have it bad.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

No software update I know of will fix that.

It looks like either a connection issue (cable or board) or a bad display.

I see similar issues when cables get pinched too.

I know you guys will think I’m crazy but I fly for the Military in a fully digital cockpit. If we rush certain things on startup or change one step during the display boot sequence it can cause a number of issues that manifest during flight. This will cause us to either have to reset certain systems by pulling circuit breakers or shut down the aircraft and remove battery power then attempt to restart. Reading about the issue in that link seems like exactly the same issue. Most of these result around BUS driven electronics that require complex communication between different pieces of hardware. You might be mad that a $60k truck has these issues but I fly million dollar aircraft that experience the same issues.

Had the same issue as you Kaos94. Dealer replaced the screen over Thanksgiving. It’s back in the shop now for a non-responsive passenger mirror. Hope this is the last time. I’ve been to the dealer three times in less than 35 days.  At least the dealership is responsive and always very helpful!

Probably the same back seat design as the K2s which Rattle also.
There are a few threads on this issue.
 

Check your jack under the rear passenger seat ...I worked in a Chevy dealership before now at a Harley Dealership. Yes it’s a lot of money for the truck but it doesn’t matter if it was a Vega rattles are annoying so I isolate and corrected mine myself...more convenient than going to the dealer

I had the same problem on Christmas morning.  Except, we smelled burning wires and observed flickering lights on the controls just blow the screen.  I pulled the Infotainment fuses and called the dealer the next morning, dropped the truck off yesterday.  They put me in a loaner for an indefinite amount of time.

The K2 seat rattle noise comes from the driver side rear seat bracket that has a plastic clip.

The plastic clip either comes loose or falls off completely causing a metal on metal rattle.

Almost sounds like the Audio Amp is a problem if you have one. Some basic radios output directly to the speakers while the advance units will send the audio to the Amplifier. Have not seen

any schematics on the 2019s to verify the hardware layout.

Mine has the same problem, just bought the truck.. Started the truck screen was fine, put it in reverse and got the bubble view, then when I put it into drive the screen scrambled like shown in the photos, I turned off/restarted the truck and it went away.. I guess I'll see if it comes back

Just purchased a 2020 Sierra 1500 AT4.  It only has 500 miles on it.  Got in the truck today, and the audio had completely stopped working.  No radio (FM, AM, or XM), nothing from my phone via bluetooth or USB, no audio warnings for no seatbelt, etc., no voice recognition feedback....you get the picture.  Anyone else having this problem?  I see where this has been an issue for some of you, but no recent posts.  Any updates?

 

Taking it to the dealership today, will post if I hear anything about this problem.

I have a 2019 Silverado. The radio has been intermittently freezing. Chevy has already replaced the unit, and it started happening again. The touch screen does not work, sometimes the screen goes black, sometimes there is no sound, but the display works. Google assist never picks up on the first voice command. I always have to summon it a second time. My truck is currently at the dealership so that group engineers can look at it. They are tearing into electrical. I have heard this is happening to others. Anyone else have this problem and successfully get it fixed?

Yea,

Get them to the dealer so they can start brainstorming.

 

 

hahahahha

 

 

But yes mine is experiencing the same issues. Unresponsive touch screen, completely freezing up. Ive got a new one lately, starting the truck and having the radio volume blast to full for about 3 secs then goes back to normal. To be honest I would like to have the fish eye vs the standard view, it actually looks like there is a wider field of view.

I just bought a 2019 GMC Sierra SLT a couple weeks ago. Now that I just hit 1,000 miles my radio sound quit. No sound from: radio, blue oooh, XM, or anything. Very frustrating to have trouble so damn fast with a new vehicle.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Of course actually engaging four wheel drive is step one or even daring to use a ramp like that with a two wheel drive and getting into a mess because of it. As to 4 low, these last few years if its a GM half ton it may not even have low range. A lot of the newer pickups have a lot lower first gear in an automatic transmission then they once did as it was common at one time for a gas engine truck or even the older diesels to just sit there and bog the engine due to the torque converter stall point and not enough torque was generated on reasonable traction to even spin a tire or get out of its own way up a steep grade and 4 low HAD to be used to get enough power to four tires to get them turning. These days traction control systems may hinder a vehicle in a situation like that although that means a tire or tires are spinning so in some ways the traction control can reduce wild spinning and anyone can correct me on that but I think some vehicles cut traction control off in low range ?.    By the sounds of it and you may have the proper equipment but if your responsible for helping vehicles out if they are not able to get out under their own power, I would say to be using a nylon tow rope or have one available so that one is able to give a bit of a run to help sling shot them some initial momentum as most tow straps are made out of polypropylene and impart way too much shock load if used to jerk a stuck vehicle into motion but are totally fine to use if going more from almost a dead pull with the tow vehicle and they are a lot less expensive to replace if damaged. That and some soft shackles to hook onto closed loop tow hooks on the truck your pulling as well as you having the proper shackle insert in your truck so there are no bad accidents with metal clevises joining things together or chain on the end of a tow rope or tow balls being hooked onto etc flying and causing damage or worse if it lets go. Its always a challenge pulling people because some are clueless and will over run the tow rope or strap and drive over it or that risk of ramming into the back of the tow vehicle so usually a few instructions are needed to clue in the driver of the stuck truck. Yeah ... have fun out there 😉

      OCI, not when but why?

      In their own words:    https://blog.amsoil.com/how-engine-sludge-forms-and-how-to-prevent-it-2/   [Quote] Synthetic Oil Helps Prevent Sludge Fortunately, sludge and varnish deposits are something that can be controlled. Using thermally stable synthetic base oils reduces the rate of degradation (oxidation).   Antioxidant additives further help reduce the rate of degradation. One of the most widely used is zinc dithiophosphate. Not only is it an excellent oxidation inhibitor, but it is also an outstanding anti-wear additive.   High-Quality Additives Fight Sludge Fortunately, it is possible to address many of the issues that occur after the initial oxidation stage. Additives, such as detergents and dispersants, help promote the suspension of contaminants within the oil and keep them from agglomerating.   Detergents, which are also alkaline in nature, assist in neutralizing acids generated in the sludge-building process. Antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives are consumed during use.   To achieve maximum life expectancy, use a motor oil with high concentrations of antioxidant, dispersant and detergent additives.  [End Quote]   So quality base oil and then the last sentence above. TBN and ZDP levels matter. The one thing not covered was sufficient viscosity. Sad.     And yet we now have since API SN lower amount of them all with the only real change being a slight up tick in base oil selection. Along with lower concentrations of everything that makes oil work and lower and lower viscosity there is still an insistence on longer OCI's.    How low does the peanut butter and jelly level have to get before we say it's just white bread folded?    The new smoke and mirror treatment is the 'additives are INVISIBLE' to UOA testing with a health dose of TRUST ME.    I'm not picking on AMSOIL. This is coming from all of them. Every last one of them that abandon the low wear model in favor of the high mpg/EPA compliance model.

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
