Tire might have been since they redid the computer, it might not recognize the sensors like you changed them or something, probably would just have to do the relearn tire sensor and hopefully be good to go. I have not had any issues with my key fob except for a few times when I push for the trunk to open, it doesn't, takes it a few times, but it will open.

You don't happen to store any magnetic signs under the seats do you?

There has been at least one report where someone had stored magnetic signs under their seat and it messed with one of the onboard computers...

Just thought I'd chime in...I used to have a 2001 GMC Sierra truck. As I was locking my truck with the remote, I found out the alarm on a Mitsubishi 5 cars down would go off when I pressed the lock button on my receiver...but would go off if I pressed the unlock button. what are the odds...

Just got home from work..got a call from the dealer, on key fob was just faulty and the other key they took apart and was actually rusted all inside which was casuing interference, GM instructed dealer to give car back with semi working rusted key and that two replacement keys would be sent to the dealer once available again in about a week (backordered)

Unfortunately thats not what it was I actually checked before I got to the dealer and the front left tire and rear right tire were at 38 psi, the left rear tire was at 37 psi and the front right one there wasnt even a reading it was just --- lol, I mean it has been really cold in New York and its been 60 like three days in a row so that may be an explanation but he said they adjusted all the tire pressures and everything is fine

BTW the Taho drive awesome dude you should get one, and its f'in' HUGE lol Ive just been driving over whats left of the mounds of snow haha cant do that in my 'maro

Anyway pickin it up tomorrow and I'll update you guys with all the other details, and thanks a lot for all the help I really appreciate it guys!

Sorry you ordered one lol you will not be dissappointed with the tahoe man it really is awesome

Sorry also for my incompetence but Im not sure what it would be considered, when I bought the car it wasnt on the lot but built and on the way to the lot, bought it and a week later had my baby, January 10 built and january 27th picked up, 17 days for delivery!

I had a 2005 C6 that had to have the entire wire harness replaced. The car had to be torn apart. It took 3 weeks. It turns out the wire harness had been rerouted improperly over the xm antenna located in the rear bumper. The wire rubbed through and shorted out the entire electrical system. I walked out of work one day and the drivers side door and the rear hatch was open. Nothing worked except the alarm if the passenger door was opened. The car had about 30000 miles on it. After they put her back together it was ok but the horn never worked again. I contacted an attorney and Chevy paid me $5700 for my troubles. The C6 is a much more complicated car electrically than the Camaro... electric door handles, HUD, drive by wire, etc... but you never know on a new model. If you have any more electrical gremlins don't hesitate to take it back to the dealer!

To me, it sounds like there's pretty clearly something wrong with your remote transmitter, or with the receiver in the vehicle.

the Frequencies that car Remotes run on aren't all unique. the Remote start on an old Suburban my family had would remote start a co-workers vehicle as well, and vice-versa. Dad leaving for work for the day would cause his Co-workers jeep to start. I've seen it happen myself in mall parking lots as well.

Glad to hear the dealer figured out the issue, hopefully that fixes it all!

Most GM cars and trucks with the more advanced electronics packages are very sensitive to voltage variations from the battery. Low voltage tends to make weird things happen for no obvious reason.

Have them do a load test on the battery first. Eliminate the easiest, weakest link in the electrical system...
