OnStar Module
I have a 2022 Escalade Sport Platinum and the on star/wifi/app completely stopped working in January 2024. I took the vehicle to my local Cadillac dealership and they told me the OnStar Module has to be replaced and that the part is currently on backorder with no update on when the part will be in. It has been 3 months since the module has stopped working and there has been no update on when I will get this replaced. I do not understand how GM is able to continue build cars with these modules but aren't able to replace them when they go bad. It is an inconvenience having the OnStar option and paying the monthly subscription without having the ability to use it.

Another onstar module that failed. Of course right outside the bumper to bumper and extended warranty refuses to cover the part
After speaking with another dealer there seem to be a lot of these modules going out just outside the warranty. Planned obsolete? This should be a recall. Maybe time for class action

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, I received a notification for a recall for a hard reset and then Wi-Fi & OnStar went out. Seems like a lot of these just happened recently to others, plus I’m paying a fee for something I can’t use! Never heard of something that could be life threatening go out and no recall issued. Currently waiting for the new module to be ordered at the dealership, not cool!

I have a 2022 Cadillac Escalade. In January 2024 the telematics unit failed. On April 2 this failure was diagnosed by my dealer. Parts have been on back order for 6 months.
Supercruise, navigation, Bluetooth, HUD guidance all inoperative.
I don’t take Cadillac on long trips anymore—I have to use a different (non GM) car if I want a nav system and lane following cruise control.
can anyone help me get this Cadillac back on the road?
I have the same issue with my 2022 Escalade. I’ve been waiting 2 months now for the onstar module to get in stock and no end in sight. My Onstar, Supercruise, WiFi, etc. are all useless. Very frustrating

Hey everyone! Just wanted everyone to know that if an Onstar representative reaches out to you and says they can help you chances are THEY CANT AND WONT… unless your car is still under warranty. My car is a 2022 Buick Envision. I have A LOT of highway miles on it… that’s why finance… my module went out in DECEMBER. Just recently a rep said they can try to help me… I even go as far as sending them a QOUTE! Well guess what…after all that back and forth the ONSTAR rep tells me they can’t help me with this because I’m out of warranty! If I still had a warranty we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now… I’d be getting the problem fixed. The whole reason for reaching out in this forum was to try to get some help…not to be told something I already know! It still doesn’t EXCUSE the fact that my car is LESS THAN 3 years old with a failed Onstar module! The part is on back order, the dealer wants to charge $1000+ to fix, and I’m STILL paying for service I don’t have SINCE DECEMBER! Does everyone see the issue here? It doesn’t matter that I’ve been a loyal customer to GM for over 30 years, it doesn’t matter that I’ve paid for the premium packages in EVERY VEHICLE I’ve owned with Onstar, none of that matters. No one cares! I think it’s time to say goodbye to GM and go with their competitors and forget Onstar altogether!
GM needs to step up their A game and issue a Customer Satisfaction recall on this module before they lose consumers by the droves! Shame on Onstar! Shame on GM!
if people are still planning a class action lawsuit IM ALL IN!
