I just got my 2022 Sierra Elevation on Saturday, got the radio setup with OnStar, and went on my way.  Yesterday, I noticed my maps weren't updating, and checking further, nothing was being updated while I was away from home.  I called Onstar and they said that when they initally setup my radio, they forgot to add the unlimited data plan (my truck came with the mandatory $1500 three year plan).  They transferred me over to their technical support people and after looking over my account, said they needed to escalate this to get the data enabled and it will take 3-5 business days before they could even look at it!  I asked how they could set this up in minutes when I first bought the truck and why it would take so long to re-enable the plan.  The person just told me me sorry, nothing they could do. As a further insult, they sent an email stating they would work as quickly as possible to fix my "complimentary unlimited data plan"(that I paid for?) with the same 3-5 day delay. Little bit of a rant I know, but not a very good initial customer experience, especially when GM is touting their all new interior.  On the plus side, the seats are much more comfortable than last year's model.

That sucks. I’d be pissed too. Not like you can threaten to cancel it in your position either. I’d just have some faith they will get it sorted out and try to force them to have your end date three years from when it actually starts working.

Tell them you want three months free for the inconvenience they caused you.  I had a similar experience and I got 3 months free when I asked for it!

Update on this.  After 5 business days, nobody from GM called me back.  I called OnStar and talked to someone who looked at my account and said "I'll just remove your account and re-add everything back, give me a couple minutes". She put me on hold, came back a couple minutes later and told me that I was all set. I checked and everything was working again! What pisses me off was I specifically asked the "support tech" on my original call if they could just remove my account and set it up like new with the correct settings and was told that they couldn't.  If someone else with a similar problem get this type of B.S. answer, insist on having your account reset, or call back until you get a competent technical support person.

Glad it worked out, thanks for the update!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
