Hello I have a 2017 4 Cylinder LT Camero and I have push to start in the car, Iv had it for awhile and just recently figured out I have it and when I lock it twice and push the remote start lights turns on indicating it caught the signal but it will not start so yes it is built in, my car is fine mechanically, has gas, battery tested fine, no major probloms and the remote and car are picking up the signals any help would mean a lot thanks!
My 94 Blazer starting up😭 it sounds like this whether it's cold out or not. It's got more problems than I'd like to admit💀
My girlfriend drives a 2017 Chevy Cruze 1.4L with ~149,000 miles on it. We recently last week took the car to the mechanic to diagnose the P0299 & P1101 codes causing her check engine light. Which the first attempt at fixing it was replacing a cracked/broken hose the mechanic found when smoking the car that goes into the turbocharger & the PCV valve. As of today the check engine light just came back on throwing the same P0299 code and a new P0172 code. Can both of these codes likely be caused by a dead turbocharger? How much life at this point is left in the car given she still has 4 years left on the financing term on it. Makes me worry as I see a lot of talk on Reddit and stuff about not the greatest reliability out of these vehicles
Is 200-250k plausible given the current state?
What else should I ask the mechanic to look at?
Just this morning my cars ABS and traction control light came on. The brakes work as they should and there's no squeaking. Does anyone know the solution? Thank you
Hello, I'm a software developer and have been working on a project for older GM vehicles, specifically the Impala series. While many newer vehicles offer convenience features through the myGMC/myChevy app , there's no option for older vehicles.
GMControl aims to bring these features "back" to older vehicles, mainly remote start, and lock/unlocking of doors and the trunk. Other convenience/utility features are planned, such as reading GM specific DTC codes, resetting modules , real-time TPMS status , and more. GMControl relies on an OBD-II "dongle" for communication/control of the vehicle, and would support *any* genuine ELM-327 based dongle.
The website is at https://gmcontrol.app/, the app/project is still in development and not available at this time. The app is in early stages (the UI is horrible) but supports the main features listed above, and will undergo a proper UI rewrite once everything has been implemented and tested extensively.
I'm looking for feedback on the website, any suggestions/criticism , and to see who might benefit/be interested in this project.
Check out my latest video on YouTube and let me know what yall think 🤘
I just bought a new Tahoe with an extended warranty (GM platinum) through the dealership (dealership A). I’ve been reading online and found another dealership (B) that offers the warranty significantly cheaper.
How does canceling my extended warranty work? 1) should I head to the original dealership A and see if they can price match this other dealership B and give me my money back? 2) or do I just cancel the warranty at the original dealership A, but then reorder the same warranty At the cheaper dealership B? Does that screw things up with Chevy/GM if they see a cancelled warranty and then a repurchase of the warranty?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks!
I don't get it.
I have gone through, at this point, 6 duralast 220amp alternators in around a year, and multiple batteries.
Every alternator I have keeps failing in some way or another, one seized and started smoking, one stopped charging period, the last one put out so much current it shorted out all the electronics, and when the cluster came back on the battery guage was pinned and slowly dropping but the slightest touch on the accelerator would pin it again. It was so hot it nearly burned my skin.
I can't keep dealing with this as I travel cross country for a living.
Is there ANYTHING that could be causing this to happen, or are autozone alternators really just that bad? I'm at a loss here. I changed this one 2 days ago and still getting the warning and my headlights keep dimming as I'm driving. Had it tested at autozone and they said it was fine (handheld tester not bench test under load).
Any advice or suggestions would be amazing. Gonna swap the alternator again tomorrow and hope for the best.
2012 Chevy traverse just my luck bought it and heard saw nothing wrong and now it’s making knock sound when turning and the steering wheel is making click sounds full on power steering
Just wondering if there’s anyone in here with experience with high mileage 10th gen impalas. I’ve got a 2015 Impala with the 3.6L V6 currently on 170k and have virtually have no issues with the car so I’m hoping for it to last me a while longer. Any things I should keep an eye out for?
Hey all- I recently bought a '22 Chevy Blazer and have loved it except for one feature. Every time I unlock the vehicle it beeps twice loudly. This isn't necessarily the end of the world but I live in a very crowded area and frequently leave for work while everyone is still sleeping. In the vehicle settings I am able to turn the beeping on/off when locking the vehicle, but for unlock I only have the option for the lights - not for the beeping. Has anyone else experienced this/does anyone have any advice? I have never owned a car that beeps when being unlocked(only when being locked) and it's even more strange that I am able to customize the beeping on "remote lock" but not "remote unlock". There is also no option for "passive/keyless unlock". Thanks for the help.
Hey so I just got a 2022 Chevy Malibu. I know there are some haters on other subs, but I’m hoping I could get some tips for this car specifically on here. I’m a new car owner entirely and looking to keep it in good shape. It’s hot 56k miles so far.
Any advice or tips much appreciated! ❤️
Whats up everyone, first post here looking for insight from those who've done it before me hopefully.
I've got a 1987 Z28 with the 5.7 305 and 5-speed manual.
I've ALSO got a 1991 Corvette with the 5.7 350 and 4 speed auto.
I plan on putting the 350 in the Z28, but keeping the 5 speed manual.
Anybody have any idea how its gonna go, my thinking is it should be plug and play for the most part, both being late model sbc's.
Yesterday as I was backing out if my drive way my lower shifter cable broke and I was stuck in reverse. I was able to install a new one BUT it is not aligning properly with the shift handle it skips over the reverse position and now my Neutral position is reverse, my neutral is the drive position and drive is the manual position. It does not go any lower than that and cannot go to manual, went back under and tried to adjust manual to the correct position but some how it still goes to drive??? Can any one tell me what can possibly be wrong?
2002 Chevy Impala won’t start. What would cause this thumping noise from speakers. Also gas gauge not working keeps saying i have no gas which I just put $30 in. I jump it and it still won’t ever try to turn over.
I've put down a deposit on this 07 trailblazer LT but wanted some insight from folks who know the brand. This car has had 1 owner, the interior and exterior are near immaculate, and has 135k miles. Is this a fair price (current price negotion only took it down to 6,688)? Has anyone had negative experiences with this model that should sway me away from it? I've done tons of research but it's not the same as getting feedback from real people.
I dented my car pretty bad back in 2023 after trying to squeeze past a car that was in the middle of a one way residential street with its hazards on and no driver. Left my info on the car windshield and they never reached out (I took most of the damage so maybe thats why). This is a 2018 Chevy Sonic LT. What is my cheapest option for fixing this damage? The paint isn’t that bad, the sealing of the door and dent is the issue. My insurance covers damage if I pay $1k, but I am not even sure if this is the best option since I am at fault and the other party never reached out. How much would it cost to go to through third party? Or what’s the cheapest section of the damage that I can get fix to make it look a tad better?
I have GMS discount and was looking at getting a new car, and was wondering, does the discount apply to Demos/Courtesy Vehicles that have been marked down. As far as I know GMS doesn’t stack on top of any dealer discounts, but wasn’t sure if it was different for Demos.
