  1. I don't know. Your tech can contact Fremont Motors GMC/Chevy in Riverton, Wyoming.
  2. Well, after months and months of downtime, the latest try (which was pulling a pin in the drivers door) seems to be the solution. I have tested it now for over a month and I have had no problems. The only glitch I have found is with my Kicker Speaker system in the tailgate (not very loud anymore) but that could be completely unrelated. Keeping my fingers crossed with the colder weather coming in I will use the remote start more often. But it seems fixed. Not having it several times for months on end kind of soured me on the vehicle but here's to hoping I can get some good use out of it now after a couple of years of this.
  3. Got mine back after months in the shop, again. So far, so good. Its usually about the time I start loving the truck again that it acts up. I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and I'm hoping things are fixed with the truck, finally. But if it does it again, the problem will probably take care of itself because that should give me the big one! lol
  4. The truck is with the dealership. I am expecting at least a month. I gave the techs permission to drive it anywhere they need to finally find a solution. We will see how it goes. Hopefully GMC will step up and help them figure this out. There are enough of us who have verbalized the problem, not to mention those who have not, that it should be a priority for GMC.
  5. Great point. In my frustration I didn't even think about it. Finally laughing.
  6. What a mess. I had to manually shut off the lights. Got all kinds of messages, service steering, battery save mode, battery low, steering column, lower window, etc.. SCREAMING!!
  7. Just tried again after an hour charge. Same problem. Also said service steering column lock. Left a message with my dealer service. Did a remote lock but headlights are not going off. I will give it a few minutes.
  8. Right now the truck is completely dead. I put a trickle charge on it and the lights would randomly flash about every 30 seconds. I put a full charger on it and it immediately triggered the alarm. I hit lock on the remote. Everything is crazy saying service the power steering, lower the driver window, service power brakes, etc.. I figure this is due to the drained battery. I put the charger in start mode and let it go for a few minutes. I pushed on the brake and pushed on the start. The truck tried to start but pushed the brake pedal back at me almost immediately and died. The only good news is it is happening at my house so at least I'm not stranded. The good news for many of you out of warranty is that those of us who have been dealing with this while it was originally under warranty are just as screwed.
  9. I used the truck over the last 3 days. Went to use it today and completely dead. I had to use the key in the remote to get in so I could open the hood. Dead as a doornail. I'm at the end of my rope. I've been a good guy about it but I am realizing I am wasting my time. No one is taking this seriously. I am after almost three years of this crap.
  10. If it happened every day they could probably find a solution. No, it just happens at the most inconvenient times. It is generally after a remote start so it occurs more in the colder months. But I have had it happen other times as well. It is a known issue to GMC but they leave it to the dealerships to find the answer. This is something the company should be troubleshooting and fixing. Mine started under the original warranty and I have an extended warranty as well. I feel for those who have had this begin after the original warranty. It is still not fixed even after the replacement of the BCM and various other items. GMC tried to close the case earlier but it is not closed with me. I am waiting to hear from my dealership (who are as perplexed as I am) to see if they have received any help from GMC. I fear the next step is my attorney. I am very sorry for your issue. It takes a truck that you love and makes you question its reliability every day. I can tell you that sucks!
  11. Unfortunately it is not an easy fix and you should not be charged for this known issue. GM has dropped the ball on this. It will take something more, I fear, before we get them to take responsibility for this.
  12. Tried that. Didn't work for me. I am excited about the start button press etc..
  13. I will try this next time. Thank you.
  14. I'm sorry everybody, but this had been a known issue for a few years now. My problem started over 2 years ago while I was still under the original warranty. Everyone out of warranty shouldn't have to be paying for this problem. Yet they still do not have a fix. I have been a good guy about this for a long time but that is starting to change. They tell me they have a fix, I get that good feeling about my truck (which I loved) again, and then WHAM. Remote Learn Pending. If it is only a few trucks that this affects, then make it right. I can't afford to trade this truck off, and I never want to. Nor would I do this to someone else. I someone knows about any legal actions I am finally open to them. I'm also extremely frustrated. I've owned the truck from new and have really only gotten to use it sparingly in the last year and a half or more. And why does this happen when you have to be somewhere quick or you are 1,000 miles from home? Tip: if you need to get someone to the hospital in an emergency, call an ambulance. Don't depend on GMC.
  15. the dealership has been great. they replaced the BCM and i had them do the 50k mile service even though this problem has plagued me for over 2 years and before the warranty ran out. I finally got everything reprogrammed and i thought i have my beloved truck back. then tonight it did it again. i didnt even remote start it but i got the remote learn pending with no control or power other than the door locks. i cant believe they cant find the problemto all of our trucks. ive had it. i fear it is time to explore my options. out of respect for everone on here i will not say what i want to say. you can probablyhear me screaming. at 65 i thought i had found my vehicle but a truck must not be for me. %#^&##%%!!!
