Truck won't start for 10 minutes or so while in a parked position, and at times just after turning the vehicle off, it would not start. Intermittent starting issue. Has happened several times recently, stop to get gas and went to start truck and won't start after trying the key and popping the hood to check connections. Would attempt to start vehicle and nothing happens, no sound when turning the key, but all dash lights come on, radio works, horn works when trying to start. Waited a few minutes and tried again, repeated this several times after waiting a few minutes in between, then finally when trying after approximately 10 minutes, the truck would start. Called onstar the first time it happened, while talking to person making arrangements to tow, attempted to start vehicle while talking to tech assistance, finally the vehicle started. All during this issue the vehicle is in a stopped stationary position, engine turned off. Does not matter if in a parking lot, gas station by a pump, in my driveway or on the street parked. Have taken the vehicle to the dealership, they were unable to replicate the starting issue, claiming it was my battery, they tested and it flat lined. They charged for a battery ac delco, and didn't put that brand in my vehicle. They put in a low amperage battery with low cca. Yet billed me for the ac delco. I have called them and questioned them. This is fraudulent activity on the part of the dealership, overbilling and not putting the correct battery in the vehicle. Still the vehicle has this issue. Initially started 12/30/2019 and then again 1/10/2020 and the very last time 1/13/2020, all after arriving to my destination to work or at a gas station, when attempting to leave, this incident occurs. It has been suggested that the gm passlock system is going into "safety mode" for some reason. This information is from another source.

I put key into on position and airbag deployed and hit me in face. My face was red & swollen on right side where I was hit by bag. My truck not moving was parked my seatbelt was out side I was getting it on when bag deployed. Gm is giving me a hard time! I keep getting 1800 customer service numbers they gave me a pac # but they have not followed up with me or dealer. I bought the truck it had 101,000 on it it has 176,000 on it now. Gm only agreed to take care of it after I told them I was in vehicle when the bag deployed. Still waiting for my truck to be fixed. Dealer told me the computer is fried so it needs bag and computer then maybe they can find out why it blew. Cost is $1500-2000 to fix they said it may do it again. So I left waiting and wondering what next? luckily I had stopped for work supplies on my way home, and did not drive straight home! otherwise, I would have been in a wreck! after it happened, I wondered why cab filled with powder. I called dealer! they could not beleive this, so I drove the truck to them. They cut bag off wheel and taped horn cover on. I returned it to them to fix. The used car dealer turned it over to a gm dealer by them and there it sits? waiting for gm to call and give gm dealership the go ahead to fix!, and for gm to call me and give me a reason for all of this!.

Sometimes, especially in winter months when it is cold outside the door locks will stop working. For example, using the remote to lock the doors, they won't lock and the security alarm (horns) will go off if you open the closed door because the computer system thinks the door is locked sending security system into tamper mode. Also when shifting to drive, the doors will not lock as they normally do when vehicle is shifted out of park. Also some lights may not illuminate such as the left front side marker lamp/turn signal. Eventually the electrical system will reset and the door locks will work normally. It isn't just during cold weather that this happens but it seems to happen more often during colder weather. Gm dealer replaced a couple of switches when I brought my truck in while under warranty but haven't brought it in since the expiration of my warranty and it still does it on certain occasions.
Driving from dealer to my house after buying truck the brake lights, wipers, horn, cruise control all stopped working at same time.
