2024 Silverado 1500 RST - Camera system fails constantly

[Jacob Marshal]

I’ve been trying to get the dealer to fix this issue, but at least 75% of the time the back up camera system doesn’t work and displays a black screen with a red line through a camera image. Of course, every time I schedule an appointment and bring it in, it starts working again and they say they can’t diagnose an issue without seeing it. 
 

I’ve been told now there’s a service bulletin out, which is still listed under the title of an investigation, and there’s nothing they can do until they receive word from Chevrolet corporation.

 

Anyone else experiencing this issue or have resolved this with the dealer?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is thread after thread about issues with the camera systems on these trucks.  Mine is a 2021 with the surround view system, and has been through multiple camera module replacements, a rear wiring harness, multiple new tailgate cameras for faults and shorts, and a driver side mirror camera.  During one of the camera module replacements, they also did the rear window leak repair because they thought the modules were getting wet and causing them to fail.  To date, nothing has fully fixed the camera issues with our truck.

I’ve seen a few threads on the topic, guess I was hoping after 3-5 years of the same incidents GM would have solved the issue. That is incredibly disappointing.

I had my rear camera fail on a 2021 Trail Boss. I usually noticed the failure first thing in the morning when the truck was cold. I took it into the dealer and thoroughly described the problem. I dropped the truck off at the end of the day to be tested first thing in the morning. The camera failed for them first thing in the morning and they had to order a camera which pissed me off considering how many backup cameras were failing. But the moral of my story is you need to pay attention to when the camera fails so you can reproduce the failure at the dealer. If the dealer cant verify the complaint they will not repair anything.

Unfortunately in my case, there is no common method associated with these failures. I can’t predict or reproduce the symptoms. Mine has gone up to 5 days of not working, to working off and on throughout the day.

I also recommend taking video with your phone of each incident if possible.  Time and date stamped videos with commentary like Bikerjon said of condition, and a description of what's going on is what finally got my dealer to start chasing it down despite not being able to replicate the issue during some of my service visits.
