Ive had it once on my 21 BH as well as my 2014 BH multiple times. As far as I can tell its just been random glitches. I fixed them by either shifting out of reverse, allowing the screen to reset or shutting off the engine (powering off the electronics not just engine). Very random occurrences but otherwise no other issues.

I have it happen from time to time on my 16 BH. When I park I go open my tailgate and slam it shut, usually works just fine the next time.

Same on my former 17 longhorn. Screen would have issues, I would get out and slam the tailgate and then the image would be perfect again. Seemed to only happen in hotter weather, never seemed to have any issues with it during winters.

I had similar intermittent issues on my 2014 Denali - would be fine after next start stop. Must be inherent to all of the cameras/software.

Just and update. They had to replace the PCM module which apparently died which caused all my issues. New one was installed and everything is working.

YUP, convinces me to stay with my lightly optioned 19 Bighorn straight jane 5.7L. Runs great, guess time to get Max Care Warranty, LOL.
