I have a 2019 High Country that Ive had for 8 months and up until about 2 months ago the wireless charging worked flawlessly. About 2 months ago i noticed that the phone would start to charge, then after about 5-10 seconds it would stop charging. I would have to pick the phone up and put it back down about 8-10 times to get it to keep charging. Then after I’d pick it up and then when I’d put it back down I’d have to go through the whole 8-10 pick up put down routine again for it to stay charging. It doesn’t matter if the phone is in the case or not. I have the same issue with my wife’s iPhone 11 Pro-Max. I took it to the dealer Monday and the techs iPhone had the same issue, however another techs android charged flawlessly. I’ve talked to a few other people recently who are having the same issue and are saying it’s an apple iPhone issue and not a GM charger issue. Does anyone else have any knowledge of this?

I'm having the same issue in my 2018.  Worked perfectly up until a couple months ago and now it's very hit or miss.  I'll keep watching this thread to see if anyone has an answer.

I've noticed with my 19 HC in the last month or so it stops charging and then starts again, the phone screen will turn on when it starts again and the phone makes a chime when it starts again. I thought it was just me!

Totally agree.

I called apple to ask if it might be on their end. They said it is possible and they’ve gotten similar calls recently from people with all different brand vehicles. Hopefully apple releases another update to fix this if that’s the case.

Not that it should matter too much since it worked before but have you tried it without the case?

Same issue with my 19 AT4. Truck is being fixed as i type this...well kinda.  Truck went in this past thursday. They said its the wireless pad. So they got a new one next day. Called me saying they replaced the pad, still not working so they have to order a new body control module, which came in yesterday. Truck is booked to go in tomorrow to have that swapped out.

It does not work with or without the case

I've had this problem too.  I have found two things that work.  One, I reverse the plug at the phone end.  Two, I use the USB port in the back of the console.  That one always works, although now you can't use CarPlay, which I only use for Maps, which is almost never.  I also find that the phone charges if I turn it on after I plug it in.  It's when I just plug it in that it won't charge.

When they had mine in there for it they had some frequency receiver module checking to see if the wireless charger was operating properly and according to that module receiver thing it was.

Do me a favor and let me know if that fixes the issue

I’m talking about wireless charging, not using any plugs or outlets

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
