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.

    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
    • So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
    • I haven't seen diesel for less than $5.30 anywhere in my area
    • The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
