Onstar Module ETA
Hello,
I am currently waiting for my onstar module to be replace by the dealership but they are telling me the part is on back order and they do not have an eta. My onstar/wifi has not been working for two months now. Is there any timeframe as to when the dealers can get these modules?

We bought our 2025 Yukon in November. The onstar worked for the first month. We are currently having -20 degree weather in MN so it would sure be nice to have the ability to start on the app. We were told at the dealership that we need a new module, which is currently on order. This is ridiculous that it is taking this long. You spend 100k on a brand new vehicle and it doesn't work. Very disappointed.
Our team would first like to congratulate you on the purchase of your 2025 GMC Yukon. We're sorry to hear that these features have not been functioning for you when you need them. This is certainly not the kind of service experience that we hope to provide for our new and loyal members alike. Our team can understand how these part delays that interrupt your OnStar in-vehicle services can cause frustration. Rest assured, our team would be happy to provide a layer of support between yourself and your participating dealership through the completion of these necessary repairs.

My On-star module went out in my 23 Yukon Denali also. This truck has already had an engine replaced, which was back ordered for months, now this module is supposedly back ordered for months. All those months (10) I paid for service and no refund or credit. Shame on GMC for treating customers like this.

Has there been an update on when the modules will be available? My 23 Denali ultimatemate module just went out and was told the part is on back order.
Hi there. I am on the same boat as many users here with these modules.
For a month now, there has been no updates from my current dealer or GM. The only emails Onstar or CustomerCare can provide currently is a "standard" ...." We are still experiencing a delay on the part(s) needed to repair". My truck is just a sitting block at the dealer since they told me I could not drive it without the Telematic Module.
I don't believe anyone is working "diligently" to do anything for the GM customers. I have called multiple GM part and dealers across multiple states (Michigan, Iowa, Florida, California, and Texas) with similar results. All dealers provided me the part number #86815701 for my vehicle....and basically told me..."Good luck finding it.....most websites say "discontinued" and there is no true ETA because they don't know who, when, or why." One of the parts specialists mentioned there being more parts being on backorder related to engine, transmission...etc.
In addition to contacting dealers, I've also emailed GM customer care directly and even reach out to Mary Barra's office, hoping to elevate the issue- but still no meaningful response or resolution. It's incredibly frustrating and disappointing to see such a lack of support.
