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.

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.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov
