Push Button Start won't let me take control.

Just tried again after an hour charge. Same problem. Also said service steering column lock. Left a message with my dealer service. Did a remote lock but headlights are not going off. I will give it a few minutes.

What a mess. I had to manually shut off the lights. Got all kinds of messages, service steering, battery save mode, battery low, steering column, lower window, etc.. SCREAMING!!

Does your truck actually HAVE a steering column lock? My '24 does not, and I got that message on mine at one point. They ended up having to re-flash the Gateway Communication Module because a bad OTA update sent me software that wasn't actually for my truck (and this is all-too-common).

[MayorMike]

Great point. In my frustration I didn't even think about it. Finally laughing.

The truck is with the dealership. I am expecting at least a month. I gave the techs permission to drive it anywhere they need to finally find a solution. We will see how it goes. Hopefully GMC will step up and help them figure this out. There are enough of us who have verbalized the problem, not to mention those who have not, that it should be a priority for GMC.

That should hopefully be the answer. They should use a gopro like the one guy did so he could see it in action.

6 months in now and the window switch has fixed my issue. 

[cranium2001]

Whatever they did in the TSB has worked so far for mine too.

[MayorMike]

Got mine back after months in the shop, again. So far, so good. Its usually about the time I start loving the truck again that it acts up. I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and I'm hoping things are fixed with the truck, finally. But if it does it again, the problem will probably take care of itself because that should give me the big one! lol

Well, after months and months of downtime, the latest try (which was pulling a pin in the drivers door) seems to be the solution. I have tested it now for over a month and I have had no problems. The only glitch I have found is with my Kicker Speaker system in the tailgate (not very loud anymore) but that could be completely unrelated. Keeping my fingers crossed with the colder weather coming in I will use the remote start more often. But it seems fixed. Not having it several times for months on end kind of soured me on the vehicle but here's to hoping I can get some good use out of it now after a couple of years of this.

What pin was pulled?  Sent PM

I don't know. Your tech can contact Fremont Motors GMC/Chevy in Riverton, Wyoming.

So far so good for me after I fixed my leaky back glass.  Evidently water was leaking on to electrical connections back behind the rear seats.  The dealership was clueless.
