Defective Telematics Module 2025 Yukon Denali!

Unfortunately, my 2025 Yukon Denali keeps giving me nothing but problems.

My truck has been without OnStar service for the last 20 days because of DEFECTIVE Telematics module and unfortunately the dealer can only provide the Backorder with no ETA for the modules to become available.

This means no OnStar, No emergency support in case of an accident, Super Cruise, Wi-Fi, Entertainment System and a BIG Check Engine light!!! (thanks for the Check Engine Light GMC)!!

GMC / Onstar need to step up and provide the parts and service to the customers, this is a not a dealer problem, this is a known quality repetitive issue that must be resolved Immediately.

It's amazing the number of complaints that can be found in this community from owners having the same problem.

    My suburban and Yukon are same. GMC customer support enthusiastically called me, and the dealership enthusiastically helped me file a claim with GMC. However, GMC denied my claim to replace telecom module . I recently reviewed numerous Chevrolet and GMC Carfax records and found that most vehicles had their communication modules replaced free of charge through a friend program. This is a clear product defect, yet GMC not only failed to disclose this information, but is charging some owners for it. If GMC charges any owner whose communication module is damaged, I recommend that they obtain a lawyer to represent them and sue GMC for compensation.

    After waiting months for resolution for my damaged Telematics module, the quick answer is there is no support, parts, lack of will to help or intention from GMC and On-Star to solve the problem.

    The only way we may find any resolution will be will a Class Action Lawsuit against whoever is responsible for this clown party!

    some weeks ago, I had a real car emergency, and thanks to my damaged Telematics Module, we didn't have any support or way to call for help!!

    All information has been documented to proceed accordingly!!
