It's virtually unusable and creates a safety hazard especially while traveling with my two children. I've almost crashed into different objects or vehicles in attempts to back up the truck.

    The issue i have with my 2019 silverado is the rear vision or back up camera. The camera is basically useless at night because the resolution becomes extremely distorted and blurry. The camera will also go completely black while the vehicle is in motion such as backing into my driveway off a busy public road. I believe this is a extremely dangerous safety issue considering children are often riding bikes or playing…

    The rear view camera is absolutely blinding in low light conditions /at night. Also the screen is glitchy at best. The screen constantly cuts out and the picture distorts when applying the brakes. Compared to cameras and screens on other vehicle of lesser quality and less money this camera is absolutely unacceptable. A $52k truck should have a camera /infotainment screen of better quality than this. This technology…
