Our remote start seems to work less frequently as time goes by. It works approx 65% of the time now and the condition is worse in cooler weather and/or sitting for a while (e.g. over night). Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a 2022 1500 refresh so same fob and platform as your 2024 HD.  I've chalked it up to either interference with some other device somehow, or, the vehicle just decides to have a mini stroke and something just doesn't let it do it.  I've noticed if I lock, unlock and then re-lock the truck that the remote start will decide to work. 

 

However, it happened to my 2019 old body and my 2016 Colorado so I guess I'm just used to it.  At work its the worst.  If I'm inside the building it won't work unless I go near a garage door or man door and then it will send the signal for any of the functions.

The lights will flash showing that it receive some command but not start. I'll try the lock, unlock, and re-lock but I've done similar with no luck (not sure in that order or not lol).

Sounds like it’s receiving the signal but is not starting because some control logic is preventing it. You may have already reviewed your manual, but the 2021 manual says:

 

The vehicle cannot be remote started if:
. The RKE transmitter is inside the vehicle or if the key is in the ignition.
. The hood is not closed.
. There is an emission control system
malfunction and the lamp is on.
. The ignition is in any mode other than off.

. The hazard warning flashers are on.
. Two remote starts or a remote start with
an extension have been used.
. The vehicle is not in P (Park).

 

Maybe the system sets codes your or the dealer can read?

Wouldn't start a couple days ago so I tried the lock, unlock, yada yada a few times and it did eventually start. In my case, trying to start with the doors unlocked (failed) and then locking and trying to start again worked.

What button sequence are you using for this?  I've never had a remote start fail on my 2016 or my 2024 using the keyfob if I press Lock, Start, Start in about 2 seconds total.

From a locked position, 2 clicks on FOB works sometimes. The times it fails, the lights flash signaling it received a command but does nothing else. I've never not had it work on any other vehicle we've owned lol.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.   WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.

      For as much hate as Ms. Barra receives on here, she sure is a shrewd businesswoman....
