“When using the backup camera at night, it goes into full brightness blinding myself and all passengers. I cannot use the mirrors to back up my trailer because it is extremely overwhelming. I have covered it with a t-shirt so that I can actually see. There needs to be a way to turn it off but I cannot(literally tried every short of removing the fuse. Happens every time I drive so I am putting my purchase date.”

“Rear view camera on my 2019 silverado wt goes in and out when in reverse. It puts several lines which creating a fuzzy view on the screen. The picture on the screen prevents a clear picture of what's going on. When the breaks are applied the image clears up and once the breaks are release the fuzzy image returns.according to the dealership GM is working to fix the problem but has not come up with a solution. After reading several forums several other customers are experiencing the same issue. My kids drive the vehicle and this is major concern”

“When backing the sensors fail to notify the driver/operator of forcibly engaging impending objects such as a small child or object by an audible noise alert that increases in loudness as the vehicle gets closer to the child/ person or object. I purchased the Pickup truck in 2020 with 17,000 miles and currently have 28,000 miles. the audible alarm cease to function well over a year ago, as I just became aware of your reporting site. Such safety items as cameras and alarms are not vehicle options. There sole purpose is to save lives!!”

“Truck was purchased brand new. Since I first got it I've had problems with the backup camera flashing, going completely blank, and giving an error to service rear camera system. Always occurs while in reverse. Dealership has tried fixing issue several times and now states this safety issue is normal in their vehicles. 11/25/19 dealership replaced back up camera due to lines flashing through screen while backing up. Screen frequently went blank and would also give 'service rear vision system' error. 01/09/20 backup camera system continues to flash, go blank, and give error message. …”
