I've read most of the post on this and I do not recall anyone having a long crank, no start from the auto start/stop.   The ones that do it most offend seem to get with the remote start as well as the dash button start.   If your foot is touching the gas or the floor mat is laying on the gas, you will get long crank, no start as well.  

I just tried starting mine with the diesel pedal floored. It actually started right up. Maybe I’ll use both pedals every time 😂

 

Anyone know why the auto start/stop would be unaffected by this issue?

There’s nothing you did that will avert it happening again, and as of now GM has no clue how to make this problem go away. They are 0 for 3 on bulletins to fix it, and tightening fuse block bolts, hol

Has anyone that does not disable the Auto Start/Stop feature ever had this happen at a stop?

 

Most of my commute to work and back is on the highway so I just leave my start stop function turned on.  I do get caught at several stop lights on my way to the highway from time to time and have not had any issues with the truck starting when I let off the brake.  My no start issues have only happened after the truck has sat for a few hours at a time.  It has always started on my 2nd try.  

 

As long as it continues to start on the 2nd try and at the low frequency that I'm currently experiencing, there's no way in hell I'll be trading it in on any other pickup offering out there currently as I'm really digging this little 3.0 straight six.

The link didn’t work! If this is actually the fix, I almost feel bad for the guys trading these trucks in for Tundras 😂

Feel bad for them?  They are getting a much better truck.

Go trade in your AT4. Plenty of Tundra owners would love to have it. I personally will take the fuel mileage and torque with an intermittent no start event over one all day.

Probably because its not a bulletin and doubtful given how new it is that its been posted anywhere else either. Dealer will have that document under that PIP# :)

My truck has been at the dealers for the past 2 weeks. They called me on the 1st and said GM is releasing a fix on Monday (today). Said it would be a ECU reprogram like last time, Im guessing this is the fix.

Keep us updated. I just got back from the dealer with the alleged fix but their printer wasn’t working or something. Guy said he would email the work order to me tonight but he said they replaced a relay. I’ll update when I see the paperwork.

I picked up my truck. Got their once service closed so didn’t get a chance to speak to the advisor. Receipt says reprogram ecm that was released on 10/04/21 and perform setup. One thing i noticed right away was the truck cranks for longer now. It makes you feel like your going to have an extended crank but starts up.

That’s interesting. My advisor didn’t email my ticket so I can’t verify what they actually did to mine. I’ll reach out to them later this morning.

Happened again on Sunday morning - key fob start, cold, sitting all night.  

 

I went almost two months without any issues despite still not going to the dealer (waiting for the fix or first oil change, whichever comes first).  I really hope those with the new ECM update report back with any available information.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
