Flickering Rear Camera

I have a 2019 RST and I have had issues with the backup camera flickering since about December of 2019. In February I had it in for an oil change and asked them to fix the camera while it was in. They said GM has recognized the issue but has not issued a fix for the issue yet.

 

At the start of July I called back and asked if they could fix it yet. They said yes. They replaced the camera but it did not fix the issue. They reached back out to GM for help. GM once again stated that they have recognized the issue but do not have a fix!? 
 

Anyone else run in to this? Any suggestions?

I have the same issue.  However,  Only happened twice since purchasing in May.  Dealer won't do anything since it can't be replicated.

My dealer has replicated it both times they have had it. I just got off the phone with them and they recommended that I open a case with GM

My 19 did it every single time I touched and released the brakes while backing up. Dealer told me the same thing, aware with no fix. My 20 doesn't have this issue.

The same, has the cheap radio and camera with zero issues.

 

With my 19 I removed the tailgate plastic cover and checked all the wires, tried un-plugging and plugging the camera back in, shaking wires while my wife held the brake in reverse to see if anything changed, followed the wires under the truck..... all kinds of stuff. I finally just ended up living with it since the dealer wouldn't do anything. Was super annoying.

Thanks for the response. I was thinking it was a cable to or something with grounding. Looks like you covered that. It drives me crazy how bad the camera is. I can’t see at night and on top of that the damn fuzzy lines when I hit the brakes makes things even worse

Funny you say that. I just put in brighter reverse lights about an hour ago. I was gonna test that out. I noticed if I’m in the city it’s a little better than up in the burbs where there’s less light

Update.
 

I opened a case with GM, per my dealers instruction. They wanted to replace the camera module but GM would not give them the go ahead.

 

I filed the case a week ago and a lady called me today, she basically just apologized and told me they still don’t know how to fix it. I told her that was not acceptable to me as I’ve been told the same story since February. She was basically just like, “I’m really sorry, sir but I don’t know what to tell you.” 
 

beyond frustrated at this point.

Been through it all already with them. Call a lawyer is my advice. I had soo many issues and fell well within my lemon law and they still denied me. I lawyered up. Have them do all repairs. If they refuse, get it in writing. In the end they’ll still have to fix it if you win and when they have a fix

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
