It was 10° this morning and the truck continued to say there was a trailer disconnection error

along with pedestrian sensor and park sensor error’s

I live in Buffalo New York where it is cold quite often

I tried to dismiss the errors every time but they continued to pop up

Hopefully the dealer has something they can do

Same issue here. Less than 600 miles on 2019 1500. It's at the dealer for the second time in less than three weeks (2 of those weeks it wasn't driven). Took it out in the snow five blocks to grab a bi

Hey there, Denis. We understand how frustrating these cold weather error codes must be for you.

Thanks for your interest I’m not planning on taking it to the dealer yet

I’ll give it another try on a cold morning and see what happens

if it happens again for sure I will be going to the dealer

One of the main reasons I Purchased this truck is to take it to northern Ontario and Quebec Towing a snowmobile trailer

So if it does continue to act up under cold weather conditions I will be very disappointed

They've done this before the 2019 model year.  You name the car, they do it. 

 

Dry the truck out really nice, it will all go away.  If the dealer can or will do anything, they will unplug and dry out all the connectors, dielectric grease them and plug them all back in.

I'm getting the same but with the trailer. And only when it's really cold. I'm in Canada. I'll keep an eye on it. 575244022d225ac877ca53d68b53546f.jpga3b4626a90b7a17c0ce2f482be08f8b0.jpgc84bc9a578605a262983fabfdfc50f93.jpg

I have also seen this in the cold... fwiw my truck was spotless at the time (as it is black I typically keep it that way). The trailer disconnect error was way more frequent than the lane change but in the cold (~15F) they both did it.

Every car I've ever owned with parking sensors has errors during WNY winters.  The layer of salt messes with everything. 

 

However on this truck I really haven't had many issues except for when covered in snow ice.  No trailer issues either.  Was in -0 weather last weekend with zero issues.

Mine is going into the dealer at the end of the week.  I will post with updates.  It's sporadic anyway.  It was as cold this morning, and no issues.  Truck is also spotless...No salt or snow either.

 

The only issues I had on '17 SLT All-Terrain, were the front sensors when they would get ice and snow on them...Which is to be expected.  But this current issue is not the same.

Dealer said they found some faults in the camera and sensor system they ran an update and it should resolve any of those issues

Two hour drive home today. Every ten seconds a round if alerts about trailer, rear cross traffic and lane assist faults. Flashes the radio screen each time too. Blood was starting to boil after the distractions caused me to almost get in a wreck in traffic. 

 

Thankfully I was able to stuff my hat in the dash and turn off the radio so I could actually drive. 

 

For what it’s worth I cleaned all the sensors and tried restarting the truck to make it stop. I shouldn’t have to do that anyways, this is a truck in the winter, it’s gonna be dirty and if that is a problem then this truck will have to find a new home. 

 

I don’t really want to deal with a dealer this time of year but it looks like I have no choice.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
