WiFi Hotspot, No Connection to Internet

Email to socialmedia@gm.com sent Feb 15 @ 7:19AM.  I'll be really interested to see where this goes.

@yaagbo I guess they just called ATT and told them to enable hotspot for this account. OnStar is a service around ATT data plan and like every cell data plan hotspot should be enabled to get WiFi working . I told them this theory and in a few days they called me and said that I can try again. It worked. They neither deny or confirm that it what hotspot ATT issue.
Well one downside was that I was promised to pay 15$ per month by OnStar agent who got me enrolled and it should be like forever but now I am paying like 30$ or 45$ do not recall exactly. not sure  it is connected to enabling WiFi but it happened.

Same issue on a brand new 2023 Silverado ZR2, only 45 days old since purchase. Onstar has opened a case, sent a bunch of signals, not working at all. Frustrating.

The Onstar support reps always focus on the "Share Hotspot Data" setting that is impossible to toggle on. Jumped through the exact same hoops as described above... nothing.

I read other forums that said maybe removing & replacing the Onstar fuse will reset everything, but I cannot find documentation on where the fuse is located. Does anyone know?? Please help!

I think I finally discovered a permanent fix to this ongoing issue.  All of you exchange contact information and select a very large and successful law firm and file a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT for fraud, breach of contract and loss of income.  I am sure all of you drive and use the interenet for a living so that would be loss of income.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT will fix this way faster than calling support or posting in a forum.  

The whole point of the 800# and this forum is to keep you from doing anything else, especially taking legal action.

While you're in here and on the phone you are NOT forcing GM to address the issue physically.

I am having the same issue. Has anyone found a solution?

I have the same exact issue 2021 Chevy suburban I cannot turn the WiFi on 3 months after I got the car call OnStar they tell me the same exact thing as everyone else open the door turn the car off turn the car on after it’s been off 5 minutes what lawyers are we hiring for this class action lawsuit

I am having the same issue on my 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV. Connection to WIFI works fine. No connection to the internet at all. I have opened an Onstar support ticket. Really need this for my trip comming up.

I am also having this issue with my 2017 Chevrolet Volt. OnStar was more helpful for me, but was ultimately unable to solve the issue and said I'd have to bring it to the dealer.

Which I did, but the dealer told me they'd need to hold onto my car for two weeks before they could diagnose it, then it'd be another two weeks to fix it. So basically, the dealership here holds your car for a month for any repair. No thank you.

On my own, I tried removing the fuse to no avail and even unplugging the VCIM for a while and plugging it back in to no avail. Any help on this would be appreciated. If I do need to replace the VCIM, which looks like a super under five minute job, I'd like to do it myself rather than be without my car for a month.

Same exact thing I went through. I’ve had the hotspot since May 2021 and not once has it been able to actually worked. I’ve called numerous times and same thing, blah blah blah here’s a ticket, wait for a call back then radio silence. I’ve read a ton of people are dealing with this issue and no fix. Pretty embarrassing…
