Description of the problem | The 2019-2021 silverado's have a major safety issue with their rearview cameras at night time. The infotainment screen on these vehicles dims appropriately at nighttime to ensure safe viewing outside of the vehicle, however at nighttime with the infotainment screen dimmed, when shifting into reverse the screen goes to full brightness and makes visibility outside of the vehicle almost impossible on partially lit areas. This causes safety issues as you are not able to make use of your mirrors to see obstructions or obstacles. This is further magnified as the quality of the rear view camera at night is very poor, so the poor camera quality coupled with the inability to even use the vehicles mirrors to see outside causes safety issues. Many others have complained and documented this same issue and have raised concerns with gm and dealerships to no avail. This should be as simple as a software update to maintain screen brightness when shifting into reverse during nighttime or dark conditions. |
