Add me as the latest member of the no start club. It has happened the last 4 days but I have been able to get it to catch. This morning it was -9 and it wouldn't go.

So the updates were all done ASAP this morning at my local GM dealer.   And the update #13257 covered this defect as a reprogram. "BCM Communication Error". I figure it's to do with an engine run si

tell your dealer to call gm tach, and they will give your tech a different pt# for a different

starter. i posted the new starter # and picture a few weeks ago, no problems since the swap.

i work for a chevy dealer and i was just as pissed off as any of you guys, but this fix works !!

DO NOT ORDER THE STARTER LISTED IN THE PARTS CATALOG !! you will get the same

thing as what you have now. good luck with it. ray

A tad unsettling considered our entire trucks are built in Mexico haha

My '06 Silverado and '09 Impala are both built in Canada. No starter problem with either one to date. Nothing wrong yet with the starter on my 2013 Sonic built in the US either.

I bought my brand new Silverado a week ago and it hasn't started two out of the six days that I have had it. I took it to the local dealership for them to maintenance it and since it has warmed up here in Iowa in the last couple of days they are saying they cant fix anything on it. The lady at the dealership gave me a print out off of GM's site showing that they are aware of a engine complications in ambient temperatures and that they are replacing the starter in the trucks, but for some reason they will not fix my vehicle. For the price I paid and considering this is "the truck of the year" I expect it to start at ALL times regardless if it is -25 or 10 outside .This is the second truck I have had problems with in the last six months, I had to have the engine rebuilt on my 2011 Silverado due to the AFM. I'm not having any luck with these trucks at all!

The dealer told me today that they needed to order a starter for my 2014 and I asked for the part number.they ordered and they told me 12655055 (thanks Maliburay55).

 

Bad news is they wont get the starter until middle of next week. Good news is they sent me home in a 2014 Silverado as a loaner and apologized for the inconvenience.

Maliburay55, thanks for that info!

 

I'm having the same issue as being described by the OP and others. Dealer still has my truck overnight to do a cold start in the morning. I'm hoping it fails just so they can continue diagnosing and don't give me back a bad truck. If it fails and they continue to work on it, I'll recommend they replace with this part number. Thanks!

 

Here's my thread if interested:

This is what the dealer gave me. It was to warm to start now so i got screwed no fix. I did call the Chevy customer support number and open a case file. They had not heard anything about the trucks not starting when its cold. post-128805-0-34735600-1394203604_thumb.jpgpost-128805-0-86239100-1394203617_thumb.jpg

I got my truck back yesterday too. It started no problem for the dealer. They reprogrammed the BCU and gave the truck back to me.

I would call them on that as BS! I saw the same PIE paper as you linked when I had my truck in at the dealer. Sounds like their customer service is either not informed or just lazy. Good luck.

If they told you that,they lied and you should tell them that and take your business elsewhere.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      Over the last week I installed GM coils, Taylor wires and Red Line SI-1 in the fuel which cleared up a slightly rough idle. Coils made the biggest difference even just A/B testing one bank at a time. I know everyone says the OEM ones last forever but at 212k on these units they were tired. Fade to failure, like shock absorbers in my experience. Also slightly richened the target idle AFR in the tune for good measure. I have zero tolerance for anything less than buttery smooth, and since emissions are not a concern I can get there any way I please.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      ^^ Yep, that's all it was. The fuel line had rubbed through on one of the spider legs and was severely leaking. Even the lines/nut and bolt kit are harder to find and I think I paid $84 (Standard HK-11) for the kit. Ripoff. But when you're the only brand still making it...   There are a few things left before the truck is Atlas® Certified (and I've thoroughly spent too much on it considering what it's worth). My RockAuto shopping cart total is about $250 and growing:   -Radiator (there's a pinhole leak, driver's upper corner where a cooling line bolts in, the threaded insert weld cracked) -Water pump (mine squeaks, I assume it's shot) -Lower radiator hose (it's original, if replacing cooling parts, this shall be touched too) -Starter (It's not always engaging the flywheel, get the whirrrrrr sometimes when I turn the key but no crank) -Door hinge replacement pins (already purchased, need to install)   Suspect/borderline parts NOT included in shopping cart (only if I want to opt for bonus points): -Motor mounts. Someone twerked the radiator fan shroud, so I can't tell if the motor mounts are bad/squished or if it's truly just a deformed fan shroud. I reassembled the shroud correctly but the plastic is still re-forming/relaxing where it was all mangled and bent, and the fan still chafes it occasionally, but it's 99% better. -Left rear door speaker is blown -Rear wiper motor is shot (horrible grinding noise) -One of the wheels is missing the bowtie center cap. This drives me insane to look at, I'll just need to find a replacement.   I've already replaced: -Driver's door mirror -Idler pulley -Tensioner pulley -EGR -MAP sensor -Hood prop retainer -Intake plenum fuel lines -Intake gaskets -Thermostat (and flushed cooling system) -Radiator cap -Radiator overflow reservoir cap   And it needs tires, and could use a set of front brake pads, and the brake system flushed. And it could use a transmission service, and if I'm doing that, why not differentials, and transfer case, and oh hell, why not flush the power steering.   Is there anything I won't touch? Or...do I just get it to a point where I can send it down the road?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      Was checking out a 39 Buick at a charity auction and found the statement on the cover of the owners manual interesting. What it can do for you, and what YOU can do for IT? Framing your ownership as a two way relationship! Seems this type of thinking is all but gone with the non-enthusiasts, and something like that would never be printed on the cover of a manual. It would likely offend people. Hey, I just spent two years salary on an SUV and it has the nerve to request anything back from me???? 😂

      Make sure your phone software is up to date.  Some people have had issues lately with bluetooth on GM radios and their phone had a security update or something that fixed it.
