Here is my thread on it. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...-tahoe-lt-wont-start-p1029-error-code.121759/After following the other thread where you explain your fuel problems. I experienced the exact same issue this weekend, got text & e-mail from On-Star after the vehicle wouldn't start. Tried starting a handful of times there after with the engine turning and eventually turning over to die. Waited until Monday to get it up to the dealership we bought it from, and it fired right up with the check engine light on. Got it to the service center and the rep saw the engine light. By the time it got back to the actual shop the check engine light had turned off, and there was no historical code stored in any of the vehicle's systems. Driving it back to the house I noticed it wasn't running the smoothest, but I have no clue what to do now that there is no historical code and the service department saying they can't find any problems.... fingers crossed we don't got caught in a bad spot. Looked in the spots referenced and turns out it was built in July.
Ya shit like that is why I decided to turn mine in via the Lemon Law or offer GM the opportunity to buy it back without legal action. My dealer said they would swap out the springs but GM won't budge until you blow your engine. Turns out that 32 day repair for the fuel pump and fuel pump control module was the best thing that could have happened. GM is a few days late on their answer. If I don't hear from them by Monday the 11th we sign the representation agreement for our lawyers. The only bad thing is that Lemon Law process start to finish takes 6 to 8 months. Looks like I will be getting a 2022 Tahoe or Jeep Grand Wagoneer in place of our 2021.Spoke with a local dealer today and they told me if the CEL was not on, they can't replace the springs. The TSB seems to read that way as well. Typical GM, but it appears they would rather replace a few engines here or there rather than thousands and thousands of valve springs.

I hear ya. The timing will be good if our case drags into summer. If they do get forced into a buy back my Vette will be available as a daily driver until the salt hits the road in the late fall. That should be plenty of time to order a new 2022 vehicle( jeep or chevy) . If they settle for cash compensation I will list mine for sale and might come out ahead instead of doing trade in at the dealer. Hopefully the engine holds together until summer.I didnt know about the new wagoneer. Just looked them up and boy do they look nice. I have avoided 2021 GM full size because I like seeing the kinks worked out on a new setup but the way they are handling things is near the same as how they handled the brake issues on the past body style and how they seem to handle everything lately. F the customer and the risk and not act until forced. Im about burnt out on GM and I have been a lifelong fan. I regret trading my 2015 ram 2500 back in 2016. I may move back into a Chrysler product again seeing that thing.

I hear ya! Wish I would have held on to my 2019 Ram Laramie for another year and then compared the Yukon with a Wagoneer. MY Ram's interior was awesome, extremely quiet with no annoying creaks and squeaks like the Yukon.
