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.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
