Low battery, please start engine

[harveyfamily]

A few times now in my 2015 Sierra when I am getting gas and I have the key in the on position listening to the radio that message comes on.

 

I asked the service tech at the dealership when I last got the oil changed and was told this was normal because of the modules running. That doesn’t sound right to me though.

 

I just crossed 32k miles on the odometer and was hoping that they would test the battery and find a bad cell.

I had this problem in my 2015 Sierra as well, this message would come up randomly and truck would turn over but wouldn’t start, dealership changed battery on warranty and it hasn’t happened since.

I have a feeling the battery is about to go and they just want me to get past the 36k mark before telling me that.

They told me these batteries are only good up to about 60000kms or about like you said 36000 miles, if this dealer won’t help you maybe try a different one?

I have a 2014 Sierra with 27k miles & mine started to do that occasionally. With it being winter, I just went ahead & replaced it before it had a chance to leave me stranded.

I got this  message a few times while listening to the radio and by the time the message came up and I attempted to crank the truck, nothing. I ended up replacing battery because it was bad. There was a few times I would start the truck and it wouldn't start, jump it with cables and no problem for a month. This happened over a couple months until finally it happened about 3 times in one weekend. I actually drove for an hour, parked it, got back in not even 2 minutes later to move and it wouldn't start. Made no sense but I was fed up with it. Had the battery tested and replaced. No issues since.

 

Back on topic, that message appears too late..

Warranty now or cough up 250 bucks in 4k miles.

Have them to 'load test' the battery.

Wow, $250 that's high.

glad this topic came up because I also received this message the other day doing the exact same thing and immediately started the truck. Glad I didnt wait any longer. Seems to be a new battery is in store for me now...
