Anyone else having any issues with infotainment screen doing strange things, I've had this issue with the bottom of screen on three occasions now. First time was when I was driving home from dealer, shut truck off and restarted and it was ok, about two weeks later it did it again and stayed that way all day, next morning it was ok, did it again today and so far has stayed that way. also started getting message on DIC that steering assist is reduced, service ESC. The lines on the camera when truck is in reverse also quit working. Just got a survey from GM on what I think of quality, think I will hold off for a while before taking it.

This is a complete shot in the dark, swag, out of left field, whatever guess...

The last generation had a number of quirky electrical and computer problems that were traced back to a bad ground (matting or insulation under the dash preventing clean contact?)

Could this be happening here again?

I'm willing to bet hardware wise that infotainment setup is the same exact one i have in my 2014. Keep adding onto older gen tech and it's bound to give issues. That looks more like a internal graphical glitch then it being a faulty ground.

I would take that back to the dealer and have them service it under warranty. They will most likely swap out the unit for a new one.

Going back to dealer next Monday for that and a couple of other minor issues.

Not the kind of news I was hoping to find on this forum. Geez. I just got my truck 4 days ago. Not even 300 miles on it yet. Driving down the road today the Infotainment system rebooted.  Screen went almost entirely black with a very small type "System restarting". A bit disconcerting since I just watched a GM video last night about how the update process works - and it claimed it would never reboot while you are driving. 

 

It came back up and is functioning, all except for no longer displaying the outside temperature.

 

Is this what I can expect from this truck? I have a long trip planned 2 days from now. Should I take my 11 year old Nissan Frontier with 157,000 miles on it?

Mine did the same tonight, and all my info settings were wiped out. Had to redo all my settings when it slowly rebooted itself while driving 50 MPH.

I am having issues with the screen on the dashboard... sometimes, when I first start the truck, while the Chevrolet emblem is still displayed, the screen flashes. All else seems to be working, but this has me uneasy that a bigger problem is lurking...

Mine has been doing the same thing. There is a software update that the dealer can do that supposedly fixes the issue, I just haven't gotten there yet.

Your welcome. Not gonna lie you made me chuckle pretty good today. In all seriousness tho, guys are buying a new model year truck experience some issues come to a forum and rant about issues. It’s a risk you take. I know I’ve been there when I purchased my 2014 and now my 2018 L5P. Life’s too short to bitch and complain about. In the end it’s just a truck and it’s just money, trucks can be replaced and money can be made. Don’t sweat the small stuff. That’s what warranty and the dealers are for. If your not getting the survice or the dealer is dicking you around change dealers. Everyone has that option. If that still not solving issues switch brands. I hope your dealer and everyone else that has a 2019 gets there trucks all solved and taken care of. I didn’t mean to cause any waves.

In all seriousness it's hard to take you seriously when the only person ranting on the thread you complain about ranting in is the guy with only one post.

There is multiple threads and post about different issues that have occurred with the new 2019. Ps I’m not complaining about anything or anyone. All I did was state a simple fact. New model years equal issues and bug. That’s what warranty is for.

    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.  
    • I was unaware of that, thanks for updating me.
    • Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.  
    • You can't change the batteries in TPMS sensors.  You have to replace the sensor.  
    • Well, before I bought new TPMS sensors I'd test  the batteries, or the heck with it; just put new sensors in with KNOW GOOD BATTERIES, dont just trust batteries just because they are new to you.
