Common rear camera issues

[EXSlider400]

Yea I think I have them all...

These are over a few months and 
checked connections.  All the below pics are from different days. Issues seem worse in the rain and when in the direct high heat (sunlight) for a long time. I also have the issue were the auto window up mysteriously goes halfway and then rolls it back down again so not sure if related.

I have the same issue from the third picture you posted. The only camera (reverse view) will randomly be completely black then mysteriously start working again after driving a little ways and or shutting off the truck and locking it for like 10mins. Any fix?

I am having an issue as well.  Just purchased this 2020 Sierra SLT today and by the time I got I home, this is the image I'm getting when reverse or manually touching camera icon.  38 miles on this truck.

WOW.  Those are some major issues.  I have not experienced anything like that...yet.

 

Every now and then, after reversing then shifting into Drive, the backup camera will remain on instead of switching to the forward camera.

I think most issues on here are software related.  Apparently the QA and testing of software at GM sucks big time.

I was thinking it could be software related however i also found that other model years were plagued with camera wires being loose from the factory. I am gonna take it in soon to the stealership and see if they can diagnose the issue. If its a loose connection great just replace the connection hardware. If its software related then i guess we're out of luck until GM releases a software update. 

 

The hunt for a completely normal running truck continues...

Just curious...Was yours assembled in the USA or Mexico?  There also seems to be a lot of instances with things not being connected properly or torqued down enough.  My February 2020 build had and oil cooler connector issue that I discovered in two days of ownership.  Then I read about engine bay fuse boxes and u-bolts not being torqued down enough leading to issues.

My truck was built in Flint. The only issues i've had with the truck was an annoying clicking noise coming from the seatbelt B pillar area right next to my ear and the rear view camera being moody. The clicking was resolved with "gently" pulling the door latch on the B pillar with a pry-bar . There is a piece of sheet metal that connects to the exterior body panel that was rattling. The camera on the otherhand is not really something i wanna dive into with a pry bar.

I take it that your camera issue wouldn’t be resolved with the “bigger hammer” theory !  I too experience an issue with the camera on my 19 LT in that at night the picture is super ‘white bright’ and hard to see anything!  At times I think the and pry bar theory may be the option!

You forgot about the popular Cybertruck transformation. Every couple weeks I get this one.
