Onstar Module Bad

[dowop]

2025 Equinox RS 1100 Miles. Onstar quit working as far as the GPS & Blue light is off. The my checvrolet app still says everything is fine.
Vehicle is at the dealership now. They troubleshooted it for about a hour & originallly said it was not the module,that it was in the wiring.Then gave me a loaner.
Called me a couple hours later & said it was the module & I could drive it with no problem. They dont know when the new module will be in.
I will take the loaner back tomorrow if the weather permits"Ice Storm coming".
Just wondering if any body else has this problem..did google it & did not come up with much on the 2025.

I keep getting an intermittent service onstar warning. I just figured it was out of cell range/lost connection issue though

This morning when the dealer stated it up it was working fine...ordered a new module anyway.

Onstar ?? I saw that "dowop" above was at 1100 miles in his 2025 Equinox, this week I got to 1184 miles and my Onstar red light came on. I also received an email alert from Onstar Member Services saying there was a critical diagnostic alert requiring my immediate attention. It sounds serious. but is it? I know that there is a capability in the programming system for the engine and other features, to be turned on or off. I would hope that it wouldn't turn off while I'm driving.
I cancelled my Onstar membership and a lot of other memberships after my Social Security check didn't come this month.
I can't get any answers as to why, from the Social Security people. They will get back to me soon.

The OnStar plan should have been free for your 2025.

I had heard that somewhere else. I believe it was earlier in previous threads.

Sales guy said 5 years for this, 8 years for that. Onstar tried to bill my Credit Card $60 in January. Not happening! Then they offered me a "Deal".... A deal? .!.. $5/mo for 1 year. Really?
We only drive 25 miles a week anyway. Our car insurance has towing: $5 for 6mos.
Don't get me wrong. I think the Onstar is a good thing. I also listened to XM and then SeriousXM for over two million miles for seventeen years. That was after my Engineering position was cut in 2001. But Now.....I like the quiet.
