I’m new to the group. Just purchased our first Yukon. It is a 2015 with push button start.
We are frequently having issues starting the vehicle and getting a theft deterrent message on the display. Most of the times it can be fixed by exiting the vehicle with the key fob, locking the door, unlocking the door, then trying to restart it.
I had a brand new battery installed, but I’m having the same issues. Sometimes I’m getting more than just the dash warning coming on and the vehicle not starting. On these times everything goes dead. No lights on the dash, no power at all to anything.
I popped the hood and jiggled both cables on the battery, nothing.
Then, all of a sudden out of nowhere, the power just comes back on and I can start the car. Usually a few minutes later.
This is happening about every other day where the theft deterrent system is activated.
It looks like I’m gonna have to take it to the dealer.
Any ideas on what something like this is going to cost? Or any ideas for a quick fix without going to the dealer?
Thanks for any help you have.
