Update on my 2020 trailboss I bought 5 months ago.  Failed to start right after I bought it and they replaced the fuel pump module.  It now happened again 5 months later.  The first time 275 miles on it and now 13000 on it.

I have the same issue, started yesterday on my 2020 Denali 1500 with the 6.2. I purchased the truck new the end of April and it currently has 4900 miles on it. Crank and crank with no start. I did eve

A video of it not starting is of no use to the dealer or GM. It's not that they don't believe you but they cannot duplicate the concern. Watching it not start isn't any help diagnosing the issue.

True, but if you have a video with indisputable proof that the error is occurring, it will at least leverage them to take you more seriously and give more time to do tests needed to try and replicate

I am so glad I found this thread and so disappointed that so many people are having the same issue. I have a 2020 Silverado LT Z71. The third day after purchasing the truck it wouldn’t start, all the same symptoms as everyone else. I was told it was the fuel control module. The dealer picked my truck up, replaced it and it drove fine for about 3 months. Then it wouldn’t start again. Dealer had it for a week and couldn’t find the issue. I was able to take videos that showed low voltage and check engine lights although they weren’t on at the dealer. They gave me the truck back and about a week later it didn’t start again. They had my truck for about 2 weeks and finally said they received the ecm bulletin. They replaced it and today after getting gas the truck took a while to start, but did not crank like the usual problems. So I began looking around and found this forum. I am expecting another issue soon. I have filed cases each time with GM since the first problem and am currently dealing with them now, they have no answers and so far I do not have high hopes. I will be following this thread to see what others report back with.

They are replacing the ECM in mine now. 

Interesting.....

 

I read several pages here and it seems mine was the same as the OP's.  I had JUST washed the truck that day and the GM floor mat was nudging the gas pedal just enough to cause a crank/no start condition

Seeing a pattern here.  Same issue with my 2020 6.2l wit 4,700 miles.  After sitting for 1/2 hour it finally started and I drove it straight to the dealer.  (then walked 5 miles home; vallet service cancelled because of Covid)  Check engine light came on.  Will report the outcome.

 

Interesting note after reading these posts.  The fuel pump always activated when I opened the drivers door in the morning.  It didn't do that this time.  Always wondered what was going on.  Figured it pressurized the fuel.

My dealer is saying the problem may be the aftermarket dealer installed alarm.....Karr security system. 

They removed the alarm, 3 stops later it did it again... it will be back in on Monday.

November 2020, GM posted a service bulletin for this; PIP 57335F.  The fix is to replace the ECM (Electronic Control Module), so that is what they are going to do.  Will let you all know how effective it is.

Has anyone had the ECM replaced? Did it solve the problem?

In June they replaced my ECM and fuel sender when this was an emerging issue. It worked for me. No issues so far!

I don’t think the 3.0 is listed on that bulletin, but I’ll push for it. Thanks for the info!

Happen to have any more specific info on this service bulletin?

Welcome to more goodies in vehicles = more problems.  Sorry you have to deal with it, but yes, all these newer modern vehicles are not meant to be occasional grocery getters and no other use.  I'd recommend having a battery tender installed.  Plug it in at home, unplug when you need it 5 days later, and so on.  Also invest in a good jump pack. 
I have a Corvette. It sits all winter and is only a toy for occasional use. Yes it sits long enough to need a battery tender. But if it sits a week or 2 it doesn't need it. It has all the same goodies on it. It always starts. Not being a daily driver on a modern loaded vehicle is not the problem.

Sure it is... Don't believe me?  GO visit the other manufacturer forums.  Having the same issues.  Too many goodies and computers being run even when the vehicle is off.

Sitting and draining the battery is a different issue.  This is identified as “cranks but doesn’t start” and that’s the title of the bulletin.  Plenty of power in the battery but it is as if it isn’t getting fuel.  In regard to the occasionally driven cars, even the factory alarm and those other goodies will drain the battery in time.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By Chevy Man for Life · Posted

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
