Sigh... What now? Front Camera Came on While Driving

[ember1205]

2024 Silverado RST Z71, 4x4 Crew Cab

 

This truck has been one piece of odd/bad behavior after another, and after YET ANOTHER visit to the dealer for warranty repair, something new happened the other day.

 

I was driving on a secondary road at around 30MPH. Slowed, pulled left to the turn lane, came to an almost complete stop before turning while waiting for oncoming traffic to turn into the lane entering the parking lot where I was going. Made the turn and was following about 15-20' back of the vehicle ahead of me, 8-10MPH, and heard a single "beep" as the front camera came on. That was it. Nothing else. I have the Pedestrian Braking set to be enabled but the collision alert stuff is disabled. 2100 miles on the truck and this is the first time this has happened.

 

From what I can tell, this has nothing to do with any of the sensors in the truck and I'm at a loss for what the hell happened. 

 

I've previously brought the truck back to the truck to go over an EXTENSIVE list of issues including loss of communication with ABS module, indication of limp mode, indication to "service steering column lock" (which this truck doesn't have), the electronic parking brake setting itself VERY frequently on perfectly level ground, passenger side object detection not working reliably, and a host of other things. The dealer did essentially NOTHING until every error message the truck could throw occurred all at once (on my way home from the visit to fix all of the communications issues in the first place). When the truck shut itself down on my on my way home, I opened a GM case and it went right back to the dealer and spent ANOTHER week there. They ultimately claimed that the software in my Communication Gateway module was corrupted and had to be re-flashed.

 

Since that visit, things have definitely been better, but some items have persisted and now this... Is this truck just loaded with gremlins or can this stuff ACTUALLY get fixed? I'm getting more and more frustrated with the hassle that this all represents and am losing confidence in the reliability of this truck more and more as the days wear on.
