OnStar Not working - 2025 Chevy Equinox EV

The lip service and cut and paste we feel your pain responses are getting old. An awful lot of us have been waiting endlessly for replacement telematics modules on almost brand new cars. No ETA, no information about why they are broken, no information regarding a fix, no assurance that the problem won’t continue after the module is replaced. How about GM providing an actual meaningful response or take action to generate sufficient replacement parts? All this experience has done for most of us is left us angry and regretting ever purchasing such a P.O.S. vehicle. GM really needs to do better. Feels almost like GM is intentionally driving away its customers.

I am ready to join in a class action lawsuit against GM if there is one out there. If not, we should seriously consider initiating one and also look into the possibility of GM buying back the vehicle from owners under lemon law. By the way I live in GA.
So far, no response from the dealer regarding when my issues will be fixed.

GM Corporate stated that it is unlikely I would be satisfied with the outcome of a trade-in, because my vehicle would be valued as having non-functioning OnStar. As a result, they would not offer what the vehicle is actually worth or what I originally paid. Extremely Frustrating.

I like almost all of you other users have already talked to OnStar, the EV Conceirge, and our dealerships multiple times and provided all of the information that you are asking for, yet here we are still being held hostage to a GM Quality issue. How about instead of more lip service and wasting peoples time, GM just fix our damn cars? Not sure what the point of even having a warranty is if GM can't/won't make enough parts to honor their warranty. GM really needs to do better, take responsibility and fix our cars.

It’s incredibly frustrating that there is no ETA for the hardware that needs to be replaced, for the second time since April. GM Corporate confirmed they will reimburse $44 per day for a rental, but only after the repairs are finished. Until then, I’m expected to pay my car payment, insurance, and rental costs out of pocket with no end date in sight. This is unreasonable.

bet the factories are not shut down waiting for modules nor the new cars on the dealers lot

Backordered module finally arrived. Between waiting for the module and then waiting for a dealer appointments, time to repair was about 10 weeks. Worst warranty service of any car that I have owned over the last 40+ years. GM needs to do better. Please hire some better software developers and engineers to fix your weird, buggy, oddball infotainment / control panel.

My was in an accident back in October she just got it back on January because of GM not being able to ship parts in a timely manner. Then the next after she got it back the battery was dead we noticed we didn't have a connection with onstar so we did the text thing with onstar on Sunday night they where no help so we called Monday and where no help took back to the body shop think they did something wrong they even onstar got the same run around talked to GM they set up the appointment with the dealership on Tuesday when I went in thier mad as they already new what problem was. Onstar new GM new and the dealership new and no one is alerting the customer poor customer support all the way around and I guarantee thier no factories shut down waiting on modules or new cars on the dealer lot waiting for new modules just the customer that owns thier car.
