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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
