I just purchased a 2019 Silverado that has the safety package and blind spot monitoring in the mirrors. The driver side works well but almost half the time the passenger side doesn't light up yellow when cars pass by. Is this normal?

Doesn't sound normal. Seems to be working ok on my RST. I'll try to notice that closer.

It is not normal. You may want to speak to your dealer about maybe getting a sensor checked. Mine works great on the highway.  Sometimes it is a little overly sensitive as there will be no vehicle present but will detect other objects thinking a vehicle is there.

Mine has worked flawlessly thus far. It took me awhile to learn to trust them but they've been great. 

 

Still wish they would have incorporated a small blind spot mirror into the assembly...I know my eyes work everytime.

Is your truck dirty? Maybe the sensors need to be cleaned off, I could be wrong but I am under the assumption the sensors used for the monitoring are the ones in the bumpers.

I have noticed on my suburban that if a pass someone fairly quick it won't light up. Not sure if it works the same on the new trucks.

I just bought a 2020 2500 silverado with the blind spot during the buying process when they took vehicle to wash they broke the passenger mirror they replaced it with another truck's mirror but is a basic with not the blind spot. When I noticed only driver side had it and told them. They said that the passenger side doesn't come with it? I thought blind spot package was for both mirrors.

You are correct, both mirrors carry the Blind Spot indicator.

Both indicators should be lit initially when the vehicle starts up. A vehicle approaching the sensor [located in the bumper step] should lite the indicator in it's respective mirror  within 16 ft from the mirror easily.

Welcome to the forum!  Are you talking about the electronic (LDW) or the little fish-eye insert? If it's the former then "they" need to be reported and if it's the latter they may be correct!

I always install 3" convex mirrors on every truck I buy.  I even covered the tiny driver's side factory convex on my 2016 with a 3".

David did the dealership find the issue with your passenger mirror? I have a 2020 Sierra SLT that has the same issues. The passenger mirror works great but the drivers side works intermittently. I have noticed basically anytime it rains the mirror on the driver's side will not work. Everytime I take it to the dealership it is dry and working. I have taken days off work to do it even on rainy days but the forecast ends up changing. The dealership is about useless here. I have several videos of the passenger side working and the drivers side not. Same at start up I have videos showing the drivers side mirror not lighting up when turning on. If someone has insight please help.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
