If they even let you actually turn the system off when it freaks out that would be a huge help. The switch to disable the lane keeping system has no effect on the constant stream of flashing alerts on all the screens... 

 

I might have to try putting some sort of trailer light plug with heavy resistors in it so the truck can pretend there is a trailer back there and shut the heck up about this garbage so I can actually drive the truck safely.

 

It’s bad enough that NHTSA should be engaged about this type of driver distracting behavior and strongly encourage automakers to take action.

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

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.
I had random errors with my sensors on my '17, but as you said, when ice or snow was built up. I have the same issues with my 2017 Accord Touring, so it's not just the GM trucks that are affected.

This seems to be to do with the trailer connection specifically.

Then reconnect I’ll let you know what happens supposed to be very cold this weekend

I am having the same issue.  Seems to have gone away again, but I am assuming it is only because it has been slightly warmer.   This is definitely an issue GM should be working on.  It is different than simply the terrible parking sensors beeping when moisture is present, which is an entirely different complaint.

Thanks I put the grease in the connection under the bumper
When I unplugged quite a bit of water came out
I greased both sides of the plug

Mine was at the dealer yesterday but it decided not to throw the errors when the tech tried it.

 

According to the engine hours on start up they only ran it for 0.1hrs so they must not l have tried very hard to see if it would fault.

 

I suspect it was simply plugged in to read codes and there weren’t any in the computer.

I’m experiencing the same issue here in Iowa was 1degree out side last night and got all the flashing errors.  This isn’t acceptable for a 50k truck.  GM/Chevy fix it or you’ll have a lemon law on your hands.

My front sensors will normally go off after power washing the vehicle with it being cold out. I would just take a heat gun to the four sensors and my sensors would be okay. After washing the salt off with it very cold, the front and back acted up. So I dried the trailer connections out and all of my sensors worked correctly under the same weather conditions. So who knows....

Add me to the list. 12 degrees this morning. Trailer disconnected, lane change alert and then rear cross traffic alert messages about a dozen times in 5 miles. The infotainment screen flashes every time this happens. It’s all very annoying. Not even going to bother taking it to the dealer until there’s a TSB and a fix for it. Hopefully we can keep each other posted.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
