Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
I've had the truck since 2019. No matter what the power steering will cut out and I have to use every single muscle to navigate myself and family to our destination. The problem comes and goes. It can happen at a red light or when I'm doing 70 mph on the interstate. It also makes the back up camera malfunction when put in reverse. The code is stabilitrak power steering.
Common problem reported by many consumers, infotainment system changes stations, randomly shuts down, fast forwards songs on media, touchscreen non-responsive. Had mine replaced to the tune of $800+ and the same thing is happening to the new unit. Only this time, I get the entire system cutting out and then only the front tweeters coming back on after a minute. New unit does not have adjustable back up camera view, too bright at night when backing up, glare causes me to be unable to see.
My power steering goes out intermittently. I get a power steering drive with care and stabilitrak service on my dash. It’ll go back to normal when I shut off the truck and restart. But sometimes the service error doesn’t go away. Also, while power steering is out service rear camera comes in intermittently too.
While driving the vehicle, the drivers information display in the dashboard changed from speedometer to radio information, the radio turned up, and on the infotainment unit; I could see it scrolling through channels. I pulled over and returned the settings to normal and as I pulled out, the system started trying to make phone calls through my connected phone. Additionally, while this was happening, it seemed that I had no other normal system sounds (i.e. blinker, seatbelt reminder, etc.) Later while driving on the same trip, the infotainment unit turned on my backup camera while driving and continued to change vehicle settings including reciting navigation directions from an earlier trip. Needless to say, this caused a fairly significant distracted driving scenario.
Dashboard settings/radio/backup camera display unit goes blank and resets resulting in loss of backup camera availability. Usually, on start up but continuing for up to 15 minutes during which settings and backup camera are unavailable. Usually when stationary but has also happens while backing up. Dealers have been unable to find a fix under warrantee. Has happened occasionally but repeatedly since I purchased the vehicle new in march of 2017.
2016 chevrolet colorado. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle back-up camera remains on for about 10 seconds after changing gears from reverse.
