Icefisher - I intentionally pushed the gas pedal down before hitting the start button and mine still started like normal? So what were the parameters for the floor liner being over the gas pedal that made it not start??? Inquiring minds want to know................ 

looks like this thread is expanding and i am wondering if ole Icefisher might have gotten bamboozled by the service guy and still has a problem with his truck!

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

2020 GMC Sierra bought in Oct 2019.

First issue was with no prior notices or indications at ~4,500 miles the pickup started up in parking lot and after 10 to 15 feet and shut off, restarted and before I could get into drive it shut off again. Truck wouldn’t start and after 15 minutes it started with engine light on. Drove directly to dealership and the service manager didn’t get code saved, but was something like Fuel System Low Circuit Code. Cleared code and have not had this same problem since, BUT....

Three times in the last 3,000 miles I have not been able to start my pickup. It just turns over without starting and after the 4th time of trying a low battery light appears. Let is sit for about 10 to 15 minutes and it starts right up. Problem, as stated by others above no code. Took it to dealership and since no code they could not replicate issue. I have documented all of these issues with dealership, but am really frustrated that a new pickup will not stay running or start at all.

I am embarrassed to report my issue was operator error.

When I was washing my truck, I cleaned the Weather-Tech Floor mats.  When I reinstalled them, I accidentally covered the accelerator pedal.  By doing this, the vehicle will turn over but will not fire.

 

I didn't feel too bad, because it took the tech 5hrs to find the issue as well.  My dealer was really cool, and did not charge me a dime for the issue.

Thanks for heads up, had same issue with my factory floor liners.  Couldn't get to start, just cranked with no fuel.

I have a 2019 At4 with the 6.2.  I have had the same issue with not starting but mine throws codes. If it sits for 30 mins it will start every time.  The codes always show cam sensor and low voltage.   I have taken it to the dealer three times. GM engineers had the dealership replace the cam sensor (nope), reprogram (nope) and the third time go through the wiring harness and replace the fuse box.  GM literally has no clue what is causing it.  Just got it back today.  I have zero confidence it’s fixed.  Should have waited to spend $55k on something that doesn’t run.

Mine does the same exact thing.  Took it to dealer and they said it was a bad fuel control module, which I guess kind of make sense.  When the issue occurs, sometimes the engine will actually start but will shutter off after idling for maybe 1-2 seconds.  This is what makes me think it may actually be the fuel control module.  

 

Fingers crossed that it fixes the issue because it is a pain in the ass not knowing if my $60k brand new truck is going to start for work.  It has happened about once a month since I've owned it.

Same exact issue here but I made it to the dealer before the code reset itself this time.  They say bad fuel control module.  I should have a new one installed in the next week

Picked up my new 2020 RST -1500 last night  (30 miles on the odometer).. Came home with the truck ,went to give the wife a ride the and the same thing happened to me (cranks , but it wont start) … It was late,,, but I called the salesman anyway... He stated that he will have it towed to the dealer to see what may be wrong with it in the morning... Tow truck could not tow because - they can not / will not  drag it on the flat bed (as the neutral can not be achieved ,due to the push  start system)..  However the truck started … I took it to the dealer and the service manager  along with the technicians diagnose every possible issue / related system -- and NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG... 

 

NOTE: The tow truck driver told me that that issue is more common then what they are willing to admit... He had seen it many times with the new push start Silverado … So they know that there is something wrong... This the second day that I own this truck and I wish I could return it...

The dealer put a new fuse box in mine two weeks ago and it failed again for the fourth time. GM has no idea what is causing it.  I would make them take it back.

Have they tried a new fuel control module?

I had the same issues on my 2020 silverado wt. 2300 miles are on it. I drove to my son's school dropped him off and then the truck would not start. Tired starting it a few times and i didnt work. Called a tow truck. The tow truck came out about a hour later and it started for him first try. But I had a check engine light on. Dealer is looking into it now I will post what they find.

Brand new 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 same problem.  I am researching this for my brother in-law.  His description is exactly the same.  Vehicle will turn over but will not start.  Dealer had him shift to neutral from park, and truck started and ran fine.  He drove it to the dealer and dropped it off to have it looked at.

Same story from Dealer, no error codes, they had no idea what to fix so "come get truck" and drive it.

It has done this (3) times now in the last 2 weeks.  No rime or reason.  Once in the garage at home, and twice trying to leave work.

 

After the 3rd time they are now replacing an electronic control module, for the fuel pump but are not sure it will resolve the problem.

Pretty frustrating to have a brand new truck and have this kind of problem withing the first month of owning it.

Did you have the pedal all the way to the floor?  (WOT?)

 

Holding the pedal to the floor and cranking is the method the OM outlines to clear a flooded engine.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.
