After weeks of diagnostics dealer found the culprit!! Yes you guessed it right TELEMATIC MODULE NOT COMMUNICATING!!! Oh and guess what, yep you got it again, IT'S ON BACK ORDER!!!!
What year is your car? I ahve a 2025 Terrain and it went in thw show July 1st. Got it back to on the 30th and had to take it right back. They got the part after waiting 30 days but I don't have any apps on my car and they along with onstar cant solve the issue. Horrible!
Tawan Bruce-2025 Terrain onstar module needs to be replaced, car was not drivable and needed to be towed. Currently still in the shop. Almost 30 days now.
I bought my 2025 Equinox in November. I started having issues with Onstar in March/April. I called Onstar and they said it had to be escalated to a manager and the manager would call me back in 5-8 days. No one ever called. It was a minor inconvenience, so I decided I’d have the service department address it when I was in for an oil change. I took it in for an oil change last week and was told (surprise) the telematic module is going out and needs replaced. They’ve ordered a new one but (surprise again) it’s on back order. The mechanic messed with it and said it was working but eventually will go out. Last weekend the Onstar button started blinking green constantly. Now, apparently, the Onstar continues to blink when the car is off. I went out this morning to take my son to catch the bus for a band outing, and my car was dead. The Onstar light was still flashing, but nothing else. It took several attempts to get it to unlock and then nothing. No dashboard lights, radio, absolutely nothing except the flashing green light. The green light quit flashing an hour later. We got it on the battery charger, and as soon as it was charged enough, the green light started flashing again. The minor inconvenience has become a serious issue. I cannot go without my car for months waiting on a new module.

Hello Jack.
Please stop feeling bad for everyone that has posted here for a damaged telematic module.
How about we begin got get some real answers and no more BS.
When are we getting the replacement modules we already paid for when we purchased a $100,000 Yukon Denali!!
Has anyone thought about taking this to the MEDIA? News outlets? Wouldn’t this be a great story for prime time? Let me know if anyone has connections. I’m camera friendly.
RECALL RECALL!
I was informed today by onstar that I need a new BCM onstar module. My car is 32 days old and the part is on national backorder.
Has anyone consulted a lawyer about this or is this just hoping that one is filed?
I bought a brand new 2025 with 3 miles on it because my low functioning daughter needs wifi to run her tablet while we are in the car or she has bad meltdowns since she doesn't like being in her special car seat.
I have contacted a attorney. My car is 2025 and has been in the shop since July 1st. This module had affected my vehicle in a way that it **bleep** the whole thing down and had yo get it towed to the dealership. No eta for the part and they wanted to take the part out and have me drive the car. Nope not happening. Putting miles on and am not getting what I am paying payment for. By the time that part comes in the warranty will be out .
Yes, I just realized they keep giving me the vehicle back to drive- thus adding miles and lowering the amount they will pay me. Stupid me.

Onstar/Wifi out since December 2024. Car out of warranty. Part is unavailable and too expensive to fix.
Calvin Shields. 2023 Buick Envision Avenir. My OnStar module died over 2 months ago. I had the module replaced and have tried for over a month for OnStar's technical department to correct a problem with my MDN (mobile phone number) on the unit which supposedly causes the data plan to not work at all. I've called OnStar support about this problem at least 2 times a week since the unit was replaced and the only response I ever get is "I'm sorry but I can't fix it. One of our senior engineers/level 2/level 3 technicians will have it fixed in the next 2-3 days. Here's your new case number..." I'm tired of getting "new case numbers" and NO ONE EVEN ATTEMPTS to correct the problem. Please put me on the list for the class action suit because I'm tired of all these "put off/pass-the-buck" games!
We all have had similar issues. Onstar told me the Onstar phones will no longer work period. After 2021 they discontinued them. Same as our weather app. And no explanation at all.

Same issue, bought Equinox Ev in December 2024 and GPS stopped working end of June, dealers doesn't want to look at these issues and had to call multiple dealers to just get the car in and get checked. They say onstar module needs replaced and thats backordered. Service rep said it might even take 2yrs to part arrive and my lease might expire. Never buying GM vehicle again and looking to join the law suit.

2025 Equinox EVSame issue. Why am I paying for this service and it doesn't work and they appears to be no end in sight. Cars sitting at dealers if they will take them for months, waiting for repair.

I have contacted my State's Attorney General . I just need some guidance on how to proceed. Next I am looking into how to file a class action lawsuit.

I hear you. I have called multiple dealers. They refuse to call back to schedule. I guess the only way to fix anything is to start a lawsuit. Problem is, that too will take years. I also feel that the dealerships will not look at our cars because they don't want everyone to file under LEMON LAW. Which is absolutely what will happen.
