Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the tailgate was constantly opening unintendedly. The failure also occurred while the vehicle was parked overnight, causing the battery to drain. Additionally, the contact stated that the rearview camera was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tailgate switch and rearview camera had failed due to water intrusion. The dealer replaced the tailgate switch; however, the rearview camera was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
Sometime between backing into my parking spot at work, then backing into a parking spot at the dentist, My Tailgate released/lowered. When I backed in at the dentist, my back up camera seemed to malfunction, so I just used my mirrors. Apparently, the camera was just pointing at the ground. Sine you can't see your tailgate in the mirrors; I could not see that it hit the retaining wall at the back of the space.
Rear view camera has moisture that builds up within the lens and makes it difficult to see what is behind when reversing. I've read online about many others complaining of similar issues from different source websites.
The backup camera intermittently turns off in low light, thus rendering it ineffective at night. It's been identified with the federal safety agency ID Number: 10234211. However, there is no fix. I feel this is a safety issue as the camera does not work correctly in low light. It has been this way for approximately 6 months, since I purchased the vehicle.
