General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The battery positive (B+) cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, potentially causing an intermittent electrical connection between the B+ cable and alternator.

3 ISSUES WITH LCD DISPLAY USED FOR RADIO. HANDS FREE DEVICES AND BACKUP CAMERA. !ST ISSUE IS AFTER BEING PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE DISPLAY MAY FREEZE ON ITS LAST RADIO SETTING OR MAY GO COMPLETELY DEAD. CAR CAN BE DRIVEN BUT THERE IS NO ABILITY TO USE RADIO, HANDS FREE PHONE, MAPS FROM PHONE OR BACK UP CAMERA. ONLY FIX IS TO RUN THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES, REMOVE THE KEY AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE INSTRUMENTS SHUT DOWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR WILL RESET THE DISPLAY AND AGAIN IT WILL FUNCTION NORMALLY. 2 BACKUP CAMERA SHUTS OFF WHILE BACKING UP. 3 ENTIRE DISPLAY SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. ALL THESE EVENTS HAPPEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS SAT IDLE FOR MULTIPLE HOURS. ALSO WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING TO DRIVE THE CAR. THESE EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

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.

SAYS A VOLTAGE DROP IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS WHAT'S CAUSING THE ISSUE AND STATED THERE IS NO FIX BECAUSE THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATION. 03/05/21 PROBLEMS PERSIST. DEALERSHIP BUILT A NEW ELECTRICAL HARNESS AND REPLACED RADIO SYSTEM. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. 03/09/21 TALKED TO GM CUSTOMER CARE.

LATER THAT SAME DAY I WAS PULLING INTO KROGER PARKING LOT TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS DEAD FOR APPROX 3-5 SECONDS EACH TIME WITH COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN BEFORE COMPLETELY RESTARTING ON ITS OWN AND CONTINUING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.
