Telmatic Module
There appears to be a widespread issue with the telematics module. I own a 2022 Cadillac Escalade, and my telematics module is not functioning. When I took it to Covert Cadillac in Austin, TX, the dealership informed me that I would need to pay approximately $460 just to have the module scanned to determine why it is offline—before they could even diagnose the problem or suggest next steps. Additionally, I was told that my extended warranty would not cover the module.
I agree with other customers that this issue needs to be reported to the Better Business Bureau, and legal action should be considered. It is unacceptable for GM to ignore this recurring problem, especially since Cadillac issued a recall for the same issue back in 2021. Clearly, the problem was never fully resolved.
