What I don’t get is why the dealer don’t acknowledge these codes and clear them. They have the correct tools that are designed for these vehicles and I can find it with a $99 tool, clear them and my problem is solved. Crazy

Again.. the dealership I brought mine to today said "no problem found" and then I got a NASTY phone call from the service manager in response to my email to the service writer saying it was not fixed and that there most certainly is a problem. If they had scanned and found codes they should have said so on the paperwork.

HELLO, BOYS! Yes, same issue with my 2019 tahoe! My remote on 2015 tahoe worked from about 1/2 the mile... not kidding. I have a theory though, GM just trying to push you to buy theirs servi

I have the same issue with a 2019 Suburban I just bought. Took it to the dealer around the corner from my office 1st thing this AM out of convenience. I showed them the bulletin, PIT5665.

This link was perfect.  I had the same issues with my 2018 Suburban and after bringing this bulletin to the dealer they replaced under warranty and now the range is awesome.   It’s just surprising tha

I have a 2019 GMC Yukon XL Denali, an $82k vehicle.  I bought it new and have had it one year.  It has passive unlock and push button start. I’m here looking for help after dealing with the remote not working and the remote not being detected, basically all the issues reported on this thread are exactly what I am experiencing/have been experiencing.

 

Trips to the dealership have all resulted in them ‘not able to reproduce’ the failure, and ’system passses all checks’.  I am so frustrated - I’m nearly ready to speak with an attorney.

 

I reject the suggestion that I must use their app on my iPhone.  The vehicle came with key fobs.  Why don’t they work?

UPDATE:

 

With the knowledge I gained from this forum, I tried the local GMC dealership one more time.  This time, and with a different employee, they acknowledged a reported problem and advised that GM engineers are investigating, and they offered to replace the AMPLIFIER. The employee said another customer with the same vehicle had all the problems I reported and replacing the amplifier solved his issues.
 

A new amplifier was installed in my Yukon yesterday. No problems since and a much improved range. I’ll update the group if any issues return.

A new amplifier also cured my problem, all is well now... I found the bulletin on-line and informed my service manager about it.  Not sure they'd have found it on their own.... But Chev authorized the replacement and it's fixed.... 

 

On my first long excursion with the '19 Tahoe, pulling a 3200# trailer, about 320# tongue weight, the rear shock compressor seems to run almost constantly, which I'd interpret as a leaky shock?????

Hey guys, It looks like this is an on going problem, I'm having the same issue with my 2019 tahoe Premier  Sometimes I have to be only 10 feet away from the car for the remote to work. I trade in a 2016 Tahoe  And I never had any problems with it, I mean the remote will work from literally a 1/2 mile away,  I think is unfair to have to deal with this problem in a $70,000 truck.

 And I think I'll have to agree with Artemiy Sevostyanov on the theory that GM  Is trying to force vehicle owners on to buying services like internet or remote commands on the app that used to be free on my previous 2016 tahoe, 

I really hope someone finds a solution to this problem....

I have a 2019 Tahoe bought in June & my key fob will not lock or unlock the doors (much less remote start) unless im within like 30 ft of my vehicle. It does seem like it’s getting worse but I’m curious how does the battery die within (not even) 1 year? So annoying. I haven’t tried changing out the battery yet but was trying to see if it was a common issue & if needed to take it to the dealership or not!

i have a 2018 suburban premier that i bought after it'd been in a wreck so i can't file any warrant claims.  i feel that my issue is the antenna amp.  i'm just wondering where this is located and if i can replace it myself?  they dont' seem to be too spendy, roughly $30-40 online ($65 at dealer).  it looks fairly plug and play but i dont' know if there's anything else the dealer has to do to make it work.  any help on this would be great before i spend $80 on a diag at the local chevy shop.

Save your money. I only got one good week out of the new RF amplifier the dealership installed.

so you are thinking that they are faulty or something is causing them to go bad further upstream?  ie, we still don't have a solution to this issue.

 

thanks for the prompt reply

Clear all your codes. U, B,C. It worked for me when I had issues. Been working fine since.

I found the cheap OBD readers don’t get codes other than p codes. I used the blue driver one. It gives option of a quick scan or a deep scan which will get all the codes. I really like the blue driver. They are always updating it too

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
