My dealer immediately agreed that the backup camera image on my '16 was hazy, and ordered a new camera which is being installed as I type this.  No charge.  Gotta love warranty!

I don't agree with you. There is no way you can park this monster without back up camera and without hitting anything in tight spaces. Also, how will you hook your trailer without helping by someone e

For those who have this issue, try this: after cranking up the engine wait 30 seconds before put it in the gears. Some issues were existed with HD cameras long ago and before latest updates. Still aft

Rearward visibility is required by law, it's not a "luxury".  It's a law because people have died.  There is no way you can see what's below behind your tailgate from inside the cab with just your mir

I purchased a new 2019 Silverado Trail Boss on 4/26/19. When I got home, with approximately 20 miles on it, I went to backup in the driveway and the camera became "fuzzy" with lines through it every time I touched the brake pedal. So I tried backing up several times and it repeatedly got "fuzzy" with lines running through the screen. After being in reverse for about 30 seconds or so the screen went blank and an error message appeared "service rear vision system". Within a moment or so the camera came back on however the guidelines for backing up where not there. I tried tapping the screen and hitting the home button but the only thing that got the guidelines to come back was to shift into park or drive then back into reverse. I called GM and they said to bring it to the dealer. I went back to the dealer and was given a loaner (2019 Silverado not the Trail Boss but with the same base package). I noticed this truck did the same thing. The dealer was able to replicate the issue in my vehicle as well as in several other similar model vehicles but stated at this time everything seems to being working "normally for this vehicle" and no issues were found. I find this to be alarming especially with 4 kids who could be at risk if the camera shuts down while backing up. I emailed GM my concern and received a rather generic response so I contacted the NHTSA and filed a formal complaint as this is a major safety concern. It appears that there are postings online about this issue from as far back as 9/2018 but the only thing GM has done is issue TSB's without an actual resolution. The dealer stated the common denominator was the trim level with the "cheaper smaller screen" and that the upper trim models didn't seem to be having this same issue. It would be beneficial for anyone else having this problem to contact the NHTSA with a formal complaint so that GM is forced to fix the underlying problem before someone gets hurt or killed. I was nervous switching from a Toyota to GM and this is my first "American Truck" since 1994 so it's not starting off well but I do like the truck otherwise. Thanks.

I'm having the same problems.  I took my truck to have the bed liner and tool box installed. I backed out of parking lot at the dealer all was good.  When I went to back into my driveway a picture of the Chevy dealer parking lot came up.  Then lines came across the screen.  Put in in park and tried again.  The Chevy parking lot came up again then my driveway.  The assist lines were missing and it appears to have water at the bottom of the screen.  Now it's like a permanent image out of focus.

I just took the truck to the dealer.  They are replacing the back up camera.  Just waiting for the parts.

I got my 2019 GMC AT4 about this time last month, July 2019.  Two weeks later I was on a trip back from a job and suddenly I got the message “sd card removed” and at that point the nav stopped working and then it will come back and then the message again and the nav will stop. 15 minutes went by with message on and off and  Then I got a blue screen of death.  Complete blue screen with the message “service rear camera system”  the front camera went all foggy and blurred.  Every time I shift gears now I get a blue screen.  None of the cameras work.

 

I took it in to the dealership when I got back into town and they said they have to wait for a solution from GM and it will take a couple of weeks.  It’s been a week now and I am waiting.

Got the Service Rear Vision System yesterday, after about 15 mins, it all worked again.  Hoping it stays this way.

i've had the nightime bright white screen too, but only happens at night. I'd say the camera is a downgrade from my 16 for sure.

Yeah... I have the 8"screen in an LT All Star Package... Didn't realize no HD camera.. The non HD absolutely sucks at night time. Also... No fog lights and no  Sirius. My 17 all star had them... Why take it away? Pay attention to your window sticker.

Honestly... How much cost difference can there bee between an HD and non HD camera... Everything on the market is HD... This is a poor choice by GM... Watch... 2020 or 31 it will be standard.... And they will play it off like it's something new....

I lease because I don’t put many miles on. Having the same issue on a Sierra SLE. Traded in my 17 Silverado early off lease to get ‘19 GMC on a great deal from the dealer. Has SLE preferred package which used to have Sirius but now doesn’t and I missed when I bought. Also backup camera is unusable at night. My Silverado was excellent at night. Very disappointing to go to this truck and have these issues......

Mine does this too, from time to time.  Screen image is fuzzy, sometimes it blanks out.  What I do is "reset" by putting the transmission into Park or Drive, then back into Reverse and it usually clears it up.  But it has been like this since the beginning.  It's a cheap video system they went with apparently.  Wonder where it was made (the camera and computer?)

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
