OnStar Telematics module - no dates for backorder part is unacceptable

my 2025 Equinox EV (4000 miles) also has a failed Telematics module (as of 2.1.25) with a "backorder" status and dealer has no idea when it'll be in. Not only does it affect OnStar, but gps/maps/charger near you dont work either. You have to guess and figure it out manually. The car thinks I'm hundreds of miles from where I actually am and doesn't change location.  This is unacceptable in any vehicle, but especially an EV which relies on the information to travel

      This moderators canned responses are almost as irritating as the lack of any answers!

      These complaints have been going on for months with no answer from any dealership or GM!

      If GM made a decision to go with a supplier with this kind of failure rate, admit it and get it corrected.

      Please do not hide behind canned responses and give loyal customers an answer!
