Rear Seat reminder not working

[railguy777]

Just bought a new 2020 Sierra SLT. The rear seat reminder is supposed to be selected by default. I noticed it wasn't coming on. I went the setting menu and under vehicle the option to select it was not even there. Somehow its missing from the menu even though its supposed to be part of the included features. Its on the window sticker. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what the fix.is. The dealer is looking into it now but they have not seen this issue before.

I have it from a reliable source that GM has remedied this with a TSB advising customers to tie a string around their finger.

If you have the engine running, does the dash show you when a rear door is open? Front door?

 

Rear seat reminder is supposed to work if a door is opened up to 10 minutes before starting -- but the dash display showing the door(s) open would verify door open/close is working.

The door open indicators do work. Went to the dealer today. They tried reloading software, no luck. Waiting for GM engineering to come up with afix

So GM has informed my dealer that Canadian trucks do not have this feature even though the dealer found some trucks on his lot do in fact have it, and some don't. GM has determined that they need to reprogram the Body Control Module or BCM to enable this feature. My question is has anybody had their BCM reprogrammed for any reason and had any negative results. My truck is operating great right now everything else works as it should. I am just worried that the reprogramming my screw something else up just to get this one feature working.

Do you really need this? I hate this feature because it should be easy for anyone to remember if they have anything of importance in the vehicle with them. 

 

So if your truck isn't giving you any issues then don't get it reprogrammed for something that it's common sense.

Do a google search for "baby dies in hot car"

I bet these people wished they would have had a simple reminder.

Yea I’m sorry (no I’m not) but they shouldn’t be a parent if they forget their kids in the backseat. [emoji2361]

Probably shouldn’t even be driving let alone parenting.

If you can't remember you have another human life in your car that it's reliant on you, then you don't need to ever have a child or be a parent or be responsible for another child. 

 

Same goes for people who have pets. 

 

I know people don't forget their phones in the car. A another living person or creature should always come first.

I completely agree, unfortunately not all people are as responsible as they should be, and every summer we see news reports of kids and pets dying because of it.

Did those people really forget their kids in the car or did they leave them because "I'll only be gone a couple minutes". No reminder is going to help with that.

We had all three of our kids by our mid 20s. Had grand kids by our 30s. At any time did I ever forget I had one with me. Can’t even imagine it.
