Just picked up my new '19 High country with deluxe and technology package and am having many issues!!

 

1. Got the "SD card has been removed" message on the driver information center on the way home with truck.   (Dealer did say it happened twice when they had the truck but they had fixed it) guess not.....

 

2. Heated seat button indicator lights  (front and rear seats) stopped working on the way home from dealer but seats continued to heat as normal you just couldn't tell what setting you had them on.   Tried restarting the truck didn't fix it. Next morning still did not work, then after running errands for a couple hours lights started to work again?

 

3. Driver alert seat does not work.  (Infotainment system settings says it's turned on).

 

4. Park assist does not work and will not turn on.  (Infotainment system says it's on)  Light on Park assist button will not come on and pressing the button displays the message "Park assist off" on the driver information center.  Pressing the button again just dismisses the message.  Pressing it a 3rd time tells you again that park assist is off, press it again and it just dismisses the message.  Continuing to do this just repeats this cycle but the light on the button never comes on.  (driving right up against the front garage wall the truck does nothing to warn me.   Left the garage door shut and tried backing up and it did nothing to warn me I was about to hit the door)

 

5. Blind spot Warning only seems to work when driving on the interstate when passing other vehicles or other vehicles passing you.  When parked along a street waiting to pull out it does not warn you of approaching cars from the rear or at all when they drive by.

 

Gonna have to give the dealer a call in the morning and let them know i am not happy.   My '14 Silverado LTZ Z71 never had a single issue with any of this.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You would think you'd be good to go with a new vehicle, evidently not. Hopefully they are simple, quick fixes. 

 

GM should have another look at their supposed quality control.

Your topic is good for grabbing readers' attention.  You will surely hear from all the "first model year" people and those that look for opportunities to share in a GM bashing party! I wouldn't be surprised to hear that your "multiple" issues are one.  A few weeks ago my computer stopped working after weeks of doing a myriad of odd behaviors.  The symptoms didn't make sense to me but they were all remedied by replacing the hard drive.  Your "technology package" option sounds like it could be a source of your troubles. I'm sure these are annoying but this is the sort of thing why new vehicles have warranties.  I hope in the big picture you are delighted with your new truck.  My dealer had a new HC on the lot and it looked outstanding!

I had the same problem with the sd card. My Ipod cuts out also when it is plugged into the usb in the console but not when plugged into the dash usb.

 Go to into the menu on the radio and dig all the way down to the "about" page. You should find the update version there. If it is less than version V507, there may be an over-the-air update you can do. You may have to go to Settings and check for available updates. If your version is less than V507, and it says no updates available, it will have to be updated by the dealer. You will have to have cell and data service to perform the download and update. The truck will be inoperable while it updates as well. This may or may not solve your issues, but there is a long list of problems this may take care of. I am still checking GM for any other possibilities. When you get the SD card message there is an error code...if you give me that code I can help more

Guess you “customer service” guys only care about the new models.

Just an update.  Dealer had to reset the front/rear park assist system.  Was told that the truck was reading that the protective film that is shipped on these trucks covering the sensors was still being read by the system. 

 

Seat heat lights have only acted up once and we have not been able to duplicate the issue.....

 

Still getting the occasional "SD card has been removed" message on the DIC     Did not see any error code with this.

How's your lane departure warning working ? - Here's what's going on with mine -

 

On my old truck (2014 - Z71) lane departure warning would vibrate seat every time the truck got close to the painted lane lines - 

 

New truck (2019 Sierra) the system will steer the truck back into the lane MOST of the time - the green symbol in the speedo 

turns yellow EVERY time l get close to the painted lines - yet the seat vibrate will only work about every tenth time -

 

it seems the seat should vibrate every time the yellow light comes on 

 

(the seat vibrate works fine for park alert)

Replace the cord first. I’ve had numerous apple cords act that way.

I've noticed the exact same thing my previous '14 was the same way.  I think the less vibrations is by design with the new lane assist?  It now seams to only vibrate the seat in more "extreme" situations or line crossings.

I have this issue... are you saying that I need to head to the dealer?  or look for some leftover protective film?

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
