  • The customer concern may have been due to a lack of cellular service in a given area or a failure in the National Cellular Network infrastructure that has since been corrected.
  • If the prompt OnStar Request Ended is heard without pressing the white dot button at the end of an OnStar® keypress, the OnStar® system at one time made a successful cellular connection, but was unable to complete the call. If repeated calls are placed with this result, contact the General Motors Technical Assistance Center.
  • An inaccurate or aged GPS position may have been due to the temporary loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle in instances, such as driving through tunnels or parking structures which restrict the navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky.
