Multiple 2015 Yukon Denali issues- Anti theft

First, as I’m searching on here to help solve a problem, I’m finding that the nearly $800 I paid last week at the dealership to replace my middle row tv that suddenly went out wasn’t necessary. I see many other 2025 Yukon xl denalis have had the same problem, and it is a $20 fix by ordering a cable from amazon. Wow. I may be a Roman that doesn’t know much about cars, but I certainly would have tried this myself if I had found this forum. Seems like the tv unit should be recalled?

 

Secondly, for some history of another issue I have had with my Yukon, on 3 occasions, I haven’t gotten to a destination to find that my key fob was left at home ( cranked the car with the key fob, and one of my kids went back into the house using the keys without bringing them back), and of 2 out of the 3 times, my car was shut off and turned BACK on without the key fob! Once I came home to the key fob being on my counter while I had been driving about, and twice they were found still in my home’s entry door by one of the kids. As this is my first keyless vehicle, I chalked this up to being user error and didn’t realize most vehicles would not have made it out of the driveway without the key fob. On the other hand, I knew it wasn’t right for my car to crank without keys, and have blamed this on faulty modern technology and “convieneince”. 

 

3rd- my car battery went dead on me for no apparent reason when it had $33k miles on it, and now it has 50k miles on it. I have also replaced the key fob battery 2 months ago.  

THE BIG PROBLEM::: I was left stranded with my 2 young children in a parking lot 2 weeks ago when we got in the car and it would not crank do to “Service Anti theft System” and my car was locked. I called my gmc dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they said there is nothing I can do but have it towed! OnStar said the same! After MULTIPLE attempts of walking myself and my kids as far away as I could get in a gas station parking lot, locking, unlocking, etc.. my car cranked on an attempt. It continued to say Service anti theft with a light that showed my car being locked down. I drove it to the dealership. They kept it for 1 day. Said they fixed the problem.... that my car battery was a little corroded and probably didn’t have a great connection, and that they reprogrammed my key fob just to be sure.. WELL, tonight it happened AGAIN at 10pm during a run to buy groceries. Stranded in the parking lot, I videoed the situation with my phone... walking away from the car, unsuccessful attempts at getting my car to start, and eventually starting again 25 minutes later while it maintains the anti theft message. I have four kids ages 1-9 that I’m driving around here and there, and can not afford to be stranded. 

Wgat is the deal here? I had a 2009 GMC Yukon XL ( No bells or whistles), for 7 years without any problems. My Yukon XL Denali was much more pricy, many more bell and whistles, and ALOT more problems. Can anyone help me with any of this??? 

I was able to drive my car and drop it off at the dealership tonight once it cranked, so that they may re-evaluate what they thought was wrong with it. Can anyone help me?? Anyone else out there have their car lock up due to “Service Anti-theft System”. I’m lacking confidence in the guys at the dealership who talk about doing google searches to find the problems with my car, rather than having sufficient mechanical/computer knowledge to make the correct repair to my car. FYI... sane dealership is where I spent a small fortune for them to replace the middle row tv a few weeks ago, when it appears on a forum here that was overkill :-/

 I would look at the bill and see what they did to repair the screen to determine if it was only the cable and if that is the case then they over charged you and I would let the Service Manager know that you are not happy about the cost. Brand new car batteries can go bad sitting in a new car on the Dealers lot and there are many other reasons so your battery going bad is just part of vehicle maintenance unless something is draining the battery which the Dealer can check. The car starting without a FOB and the no start indicates that there is an issue that needs to be fixed. I would talk to the Service Manager and contact GMC customer service. If you get no satisfaction from this Dealer then I would find another GM Dealer. You should not be having these problem but sometimes it happens and it makes it a lot harder when you have kids and being left stranded. I am assuming that you have no warranty since you had to pay for the repair which that money could have gone towards an extended warranty which I would recommend on these vehicles with all the new technology.Repairs can get rather expensive for labor parts and diagnosing electrical issues.  I would look on line for Dealers who advertise extended warranties and you should be able to save money over your local Dealer pricing or have them match the on line price. What is the year and mileage of your vehicle?

I have been having a similar issue where my 2015 Denali Yukon Xl completely dies out of no where. Like I’m driving it and suddenly everything goes blank and turns off. Can’t do anything. Can’t even unlock the doors. Nothing. Battery was recently replaced like a year ago due to leaving light on but besides that no issues at all. It’s 79000 mileage so nothing showing why this is happening. No dashboard notifications. Nothing. Please advise what this could be. I don’t want it to shut off on me randomly on the highway. Extremely dangerous and scared to drive it now

I have the exact same vehicle and the same situation.  It's happened several times.  It would always eventually come back.  The dealer replaced the ignition switch.  But it still did it.  Now it will not come back at all.  

 

Anyone figuring out what this issue is?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
