No Wifi, No Onstar, 2022 Silverado
I signed up again for connected services last month. It hasn't worked once. Onstar button doesn't work. I called from my phone but all they say is I'll have to take my truck in to the dealer. I don't have the time to do that. I need my truck and the connected services for work. I thought upgrading the services might trigger something but it didn't. It should also be noted that the brake system, power steering, E brake, traction control all keep flashing codes and telling me to get everything serviced. It's new with 17k on it. Anyway, can I get prorated for the time I've not been able to use the services? Can someone come to me since I work 7 days a week and can't afford not to?

I have the same problem with my truck. It's barely 2 years old and the onstar system went out. Called onstar and they said it was a dealer issue.The dealer told me that it would be about a thousand dollars to fix it. Coincidentally, it stopped working at 37k miles. I told them that I felt that the truck was too new to be having these issues.. I was told that it's normal for them to go out at anytime.

The dealership already told me where they stand. Vehicle had 37k miles when the hardware failed so it's out of warranty. I Don't think it's fair to expect the buyer of a new vehicle to pay to replace any module within 2yrs. The only way to help, at this point, is to replace the part at no charge to me. Can you do that?

I ended up taking the truck back to the dealership for transmission issues (around 65k mi) and the dealership offered to replace the onstar control module at a discounted price of just over $300, since I was spending almost a grand to fix the transmission issue. Onstar now works but none of the commands works through the app. I've been told by onstar that it's a dealer issue. Apparently the module was not programmed. The sunroof leaks in heavy rain. Of course it's out of warranty so I have to pay just to find out the problem. I have a 2012 f150 with over 200k miles. That truck gives me less problems than my '22 silverado. I guess I need to do my research before I buy another truck. I'm sure one of the "advisors" is gonna respond saying how they regret that I'm having these issues all the while never providing any real solutions.

Thank you for respondingI think they cost to replace the hardware should be covered by the manufacturer. There's no reason why a 2yr old vehicle should need that hardware placed. I believe it's a manufacturer's defect

I hate to say this but Welcome to owning your NEW GMC!!!! I purchased my GMC Sierra Denali with 19 miles, 2 years ago. In the 2 years we have owned our truck this, as well as every other feature, has been and is a consistent issue; GMC is well aware of but refuses to acknowledge and recall! Personally, I have had at least 4-5 replace modules, we have had engineers out and replace 5-7 different modules for various issues! After spending the majority of my time at the dealership and on the phone with various GMC Customer Service agents/management, I had to take a break at it was consuming the majority of my time. Since then I have kept a running log of each issue, while basically overlooking/living with it! When you pay 80k for a pickup you expect it to 100% work; if not, be repaired without fighting to get it fixed and it consuming your life!
