Pushbutton start and stop system

PatCam · 11-30-2017, 01:03 PM

Pushbutton start system and related issues that have been on this forum. I wrote to GM about a month ago when I read about all the issues that people are having with the electronics on their Camaros. Here is the reply I received:

I find it unbelievable that GM has not taken steps to correct the problems which were outlined on this forum.

What exactly on the push button system Is the problem? Mine has been completely trouble free with no changes from the way it works, versus BMW or the other cars that I’ve been in, I’m going on 12,000 miles and two years.

No issues here either...this is my 4th GM vehicle with push button start/passive keyless access, never had any issues what so ever.

Yes this has happened to me just as recent as last friday 12/09/17. Go to start car and nothing, I get asked to place keys in the cup holder area and still no luck. I have video of the same issue but from back in March, I uploaded a video on my youtube site at

https://youtu.be/0r1haatFOFw

The next time i get this error ill be sure to post a better video.

The first time this happened to me, I used the remote to open the door, place my backpack in the trunk and then when i went to start the car, nothing except the message "NO REMOTE KEY WAS DETECTED PLACE KEY IN TRANSMITTER POCKET THEN START YOUR VEHICLE", I locked the car with the door lock key manually as the remote wasn't working. Next I walked over to walmart, bought a 2 pack of cr2032 batteries and as I was walking towards my car, I pressed my remote with the old batteries and voila the remotes worked.

It comes and goes but probably will break down and go to dealer to diagnose. This is starting to get annoying like the vent on the dashboard fogging up the window.

I think for the most part this affects a small number of people and is easily fixed. If you're having an issue I'm sure a trip to the dealer would suffice.
