Onstar in my brand new 2025 Chevrolet Traverse LT is not working even though the light is green.

My OnStar stopped working 6 days ago! I called OnStar support since this is the 3rd time this happens! The first time they were able to trouble shoot the second time it fixed itself. Now this is the 3rd time and the OnStar button is green. I called and they told me the signal was not being received by my vehicle. They tried for over an hour. Even had me go into settings which didn’t work. Now they say I have to go to the dealership to see if they can figure it out! They said my unit might need to be replaced but how!! It’s a brand new vehicle got it with 3 miles on it!

    So I literally just got off the phone with Chevy with the same issue on my 2025 Traverse RS. My map is showing me I am in the middle of the ocean. Needless to say my super cruise don’t work and my navigation is useless at this point. Thank goodness for apple play (which they are getting rid of). I was told my OnStar module need to be replaced and it will take 6 weeks for the parts to arrive from a THIRD PARTY.  Then they wonder why people prefer to purchase foreign vehicle over American made. 
    how is it a brand new American made car is having these issues in mass amounts?  Then for the part we have to wait so long?  Is it coming from China? This is my last American made car.  Trading it soon.

      If it is 6 weeks that will be the absolute best outcome I’ve seen.  3 to 6 months is more likely!  Best of luck.

  • Same on me. Dealership upgraded software after an oil change an it hasn’t worked since. Onstar is no help. Dealer keeps saying module on back order can’t supply me with a loaner, or won’t. GM gave me a case number for what I don’t know  this has been going on since March 18. They gave me my vehicle back on March 20 and told me it should work ok. Well stranded me in Galveston. Got a jump through AAA driving back to Houston it shut off on the freeway. Got it back to the dealer and it’s been there since. Less than 6K miles on it
