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.  
They updated mine and no issues now. So I guess it must be a software issue.

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

Why doesn’t GM auto make the download apply thru the update without going into the dealer

Let me know how it goes. You can message me if you want. Mine had the update done, everything was fine, and now the problems are back. My truck is going back to the dealer at the end of the month when I'm back from my work hitch.

The update stopped the errors but my GMC logo is flashing on start up again which is what it did before. We haven’t had any good cold weather spells since the update to be sure it is really working right though.

Guys in normal conditions does all the sensors suppose to turn off when you connect a trailer ?

If yes probably theres something wrong with the trailer harness...

Or

Maybe theres something with the temperature sensor...

I try to figure it out cause many people said even with an update nothing happen..

What do you think?

I'm another with the same problem.  Just got my truck on Saturday and now two cold mornings in a row the car keeps thinking I'm connecting and disconnecting a trailer, even when driving.  It makes using the displays essentially impossible.  Dealer picked my car up this morning and think they "know what the issue is."  I'm hopeful, but seeing all of you who have had it recur concerns me.  I live in Montana and it is cold here.  If this continues it will be unacceptable.

I’ve had mine updated and it was fine for a few days. Today at 20F it’s back to the same crap. Off to the dealer tomorrow to see what can be done. 

 

And yes the displays flashing are almost useless and extremely distracting while driving.

Update for me.  They are dropping my  car back off tomorrow.  Updated system but openly told me this is an open ticket with GM that does not have an official ticket.  I was told I will deal with it from time to time until GM figures it out.  They were hoping a couple weeks.  Not a happy camper.  I saw GM responded early in this thread.   I wish they would respond again.

If i could do away with options for my truck these parking sensors would be at the top of the list. They are without a doubt more of a nuisance than a help it seems, especially if your like me and live in a snowy climate as they always trigger a false detection with ice or snow buildup around the sensors. Sorry guys who are new to these trucks but i don't see software updates fixing this issue, been pretty common for the last 5+ years anyways. Mine just eventually thankfully shut down all together when they start freaking out hopefully they kept that feature.

      Gotta say the Silverado wins in the exterior looks department, in my opinion.

      Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
