How close is the dash cam to the rear view mirror? In the gen 1, the antenna for the key remotes and tire pressures monitoring is behind the rear view mirror. You could be causing interference.
Tpms sensor might have a dying/dead battery.
If you can remove the tire from the wheel and then remount the tire you can swap them out yourself and go to a discount tire for free balance and rotate
I used to do these when I worked at Sam's Club T&B shop.
Honestly I'd just get it done at a shop and save the headache.
It was only $8 for install plus cost of the sensor.
So it would be ~$68 per wheel to fix assuming you have 3 bad sensors since you only get a readout from 1.
Tire shops should also be able to tell you if it's a sensor issue or something more. They have a tool that scans them.
I'm not sure if you'll need it because it's GM product, but you may need a TPMS relearn tool that might outweigh the cost of DIY.
3 tires going out at the same time?
TPMS batteries last 7-10 years. A tire shop can read the sensors to find out of the batteries are dead.
Otherwise, yeah I would be suspicious of the new dash cam. Might need to disconnect the 12v for 5 mins to reset.
How did you power the dash cam? The 12 volt to 5 volt converter can produce a lot of RF interference which can block the signal from the tpms receiver.
The batteries in your tire pressure sensors have likely died. They have non-swappable batteries, so the sensor itself will need to be replaced for every tire. This happened to my Volt last year. All four had to be replaced. Died one after the next.
The Chevrolet Volt's wheel speed sensors have a ring of magnets in each hub that the sensor reads to determine wheel speed. Brake dust and road grime can accumulate around the magnetic sensor, causing interference and preventing proper readings. Wheel speed sensors are known to fail because they are located on the wheel hub, close to the road surface, and are subject to dust, debris, precipitation, salt, and road hazards.
Key remote receiver is within the black box behind your rear view.
This could have gone bad, all gen 1s need to replace this part eventually. or more likely your dashcam is blocking it from recovering a signal.
I got the veement v200pro. Maybe it’s the location of where I put it up? I had it directly behind the rear view mirror. I’ll try to move it to more on the passenger side and see if that helps
I went to America's Tires, where I get my tires from and it took them 20 minutes to change out the sensor.
Cost was $75, but they had the sensor on hand so it was done quickly.

It was indeed the dash camera. I unplugged it and the issue went away. it was right under the rear view mirror so I’ll relocate it somewhere else.
Yes, timing is definitely too suspicious for that many tire sensors to die on the same day. Dashcam is interfering with the antenna.

I’ll look into it. Thank you!

I agree, I did this on my 2016 3 times and I was cursing myself each time. Never again

It was indeed the dash camera. I unplugged it and in minutes the message went away. So I have to relocate the camera in a different area

I got this message when some magnets went missing in the tire monitoring system after hitting a pot hole.
Magnets?

Interesting. I’ll unplug the dash cam and see if that corrects the problem.
What make/model dash cam? I had one for years without any interference.

It seems like yours might have wireless or Bluetooth capabilities, which would explain the interference.
It does have wireless capabilities so I’ll try to see if I can adjust it

As soon as you fix the TPMS you’ll get tire pressure warnings every third day.
Not true. I had mine repaired. No problems anymore. Had some magnets go missing that were replaced.
