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

It is written to include setting a code DTC P12A6 (if I can read the writing correctly).  Had to run the second key FOB over to the dealership today because they have to re-program them.   Still waiting to get my truck back and hoping it fixes 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

Since it turns over, but just doesn't start, I wouldn't think the loose battery cable recall would be a fix for it, but you might have them check it.

My 2019 5.3L has done this a few times BUT also had gone on a 2 minute cranking frenzie which i couldn't stop.  No foot on the brake.  Push the idiot button a bunch of times hoping it stops.  Have had the truck 11 months.  Hubby is at dealer now for oil change and it wouldn't start for him in the parking lot.

Just had this happen to me last night. 3 months old, 7500 miles. Went into the store for 5 minutes and would not start. The starter just cranks for about 10 seconds before shutting off. Couldn’t get it to start over a period of an hour. 
Chevy Roadside took it to my dealer where they reported no issues and it started right up for them. Told me that it might have been because of my work HID access fob interfering with the signal from my key. Cited some low amperage shown in the system or something. 
 

Total BS, I’ve had that HID fob in my truck since I bought it. But since they can’t replicate it, nothing I can do. 
 

Hopefully it doesn’t happen again.

So sorry to hear that this happened to you.  So far, so good on my repair.  Tell you dealer to check for Service bulletin PIP5733, Cranks, wont start.  Intermittent. From my invoice, check fuel pressure when it doesn't start to verify if it is low.  Internal engine controller fault.  Replace engine control module.  Now, mine had set code P126A, but it didn't set it until I tried cranking about 10 times.  They can call the tech line and ask for more information if they need more information.  

 

Hope that this information helps.

add me to the list.... 2020 silverado trail boss- 6.2- truck died

2999 miles, went to make a left hand turn on Tues evening and the truck shut off.  No power steering, no power and wouldn't restart.  I sat in the middle of a two lane road for over 30 minutes waiting for a cop and tow truck.

 

Towed to the nearest dealer, that I didn't purchase it from.  they are very familiar with me as we have bought 6-7 vehicles from them.  They too, couldn't get the truck to start, no rental because they are out of rentals at the moment.  They think its a fuse block.  Told the service advisor there are 11 pages on similar issues and told them about the site.  

 

its Friday afternoon and I still haven't heard back from the dealer (Sapaugh in Herculaneum MO).

 
called the dealer and the “part” still hasnt shown up yet, they aren’t sure whether it was shipped fed ex or UPS.  I call bulls*t.  They know how it was shipped but I bet they can’t figure out what’s wrong so I won’t have my 60k truck back until Monday..... maybe.

 

I have zero confidence in this truck after reading the last 11 pages.  ugh

Guess I am joining the list too. 2021 Silverado RST with 1059 miles. Yesterday, truck would not start with remote or when I got inside the cab. It would crank, but not turn over. I waited about an hour and the truck started (with engine light remaining on). I took right to dealership, and was told that low fuel rail pressure was the code thrown. Turns out to be the ECM. A bulletin has been released.  They have to order the part and said it could take up to two weeks. 

 

The dealership did flash the ECU and now the engine light is off and truck starts/runs normally. Hope nobody else runs into this problem.

after a week at the dealership and daily calls with the service advisor my truck is being delivered to my house.  apparently the fuse block needed to be replaced that does the starter and soleniod?

the service mgr was supposed to call me last night- no call so showed up this am at 7:30 to talk to him.  They finished it yesterday but never called me.  unreal.  

we'll see how it does- still pretty pissed

Welp, I've now had this happen to me twice. Eventually by messing with it and giving it some time, the truck does start again. This last time it actually lit the check engine light and sent me an email, but the next day it started right up with no check engine light. At this point I'm glad I leased this thing.

Two weeks ago I went to start my truck and it would just continue to turn over and would not start. I attempted to start it approximately six times and it would just turn over. I let it sit for 3 to 4 minutes and then it started. I told the service department about it because I was there for my front axle noise . They said well if it is starting now and the engine light is  not on nothing we can do. Today I went to leave home and the same thing. Turn over no start. I called the dealership they said have it towed in. I get off the phone with them and it starts. They said nothing we can do and no other complaints like this. Today after 2 weeks I have finally got a hold of my GM service advisor for the differential noise and told her about this issue. She said she will call me back ? . This is my fifth new GM pickup since 2002 and Im beginning to wonder if my sixth will be a GM.

 

I own a 2019 GMC Sierra 500 AT4 and I have been having the same issues with starting my truck and or it does not read the Fob. 
Took the truck into dealership and of course nothing found. 
This last time my cousin started the truck while I was gone and in week two I started the truck with my Phone app. 
Got home on week three and it was completely dead. Took the jumper cables and a jumper box to start the truck. Prior to that on the screen I did not have the GMC emblem I had the Cadillac emblem. 
Dealership said it had some faults and claimed the batter was fine until the day after returning from surgery, one day and the truck had to be jump started again. May be time to trade this truck in. 
I hope this helps others and someone may have suggestions.

Just wanted to comment on this thread. I have about 7k on my truck after about a year. Drove it today. Got home and noticed I needed to clean my floor mat. Took the fronts out and sprayed/wiped them down. It had gotten dark by the time they were dry. Put them back in the truck. Went out about an hr ago to pull the truck in the garage. Pressed the button and just constant starter but no start. Tried about 3 or 4 times. Came inside and jumped right on the forum. On the first page I read the OP’s post about the floor mat. Went outside and sure enough I had covered my gas pedal with the GM mat. Moved the mat and it fired right up. I know EVERYONE isn’t covering their gas pedal, but could there be an issue that is replicating the engine being flooded or whatever is happening when the gas pedal is held down for a period of time?

That being said, even though my problem was caused by me, it wouldn’t have been an issue if GM WOULD PUT SOME DAMN LIGHTS IN THE FLOOR so you could see!

Also thanks for people posting on the forum because it definitely saved me an embarrassing tow to the dealership.

Exactly what happened to me.  I wanted to clean the truck up nice for a date with the better half.  Got home from the wash and damned thing wouldn't start to save my life.  Thought maybe a blown fuse since I got the pressure washer way up underneath.  Nadda

 

Truck eventually started after coming back out 30 minutes later.  Figured a hiccup in the ECM.  Wanted to take it for a run to see if everything seemed OK.  Got to the stop sign and noticed the matt was on the accelerator and pulled it off.  Thought nothing of it until I saw this.

Copy that on the comment about having more lights on the floor.  And brighter in the cabin, too!  Can’t even read the mail when I get it out of the mailbox until I go inside!  I suspect that there are two different failure modes going on.  Floor mats on the gas pedal after the Toyota recall, and a bad ECM / low fuel pressure.

I agree the cab lighting suck. My 03 has better lighting and it's not great. But my Corvette Convertible really sucks. 2 lights under the mirror and 2 in the floor wells. It may as well not have interior lights.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
