I have a similar issue with my Suburban where it drops out in one particular location by my house. However, it also occurs in my Ford Fusion as well.

Following up on my last post.. reception is better, but still extremely frustrating. I suspect that the buffer is too small on the hardware. GM should be ashamed of putting this junk in a $70K+ automobile.

Signal drops out on my 2016 Tahoe. Just got it a month ago. No T-Mobile cell towers near me in Canada.

In the last generation they had the ability to ‘pause’ the radio. I assume this means they had a very large buffer/memory. Perhaps eliminating that feature also pulled the memory...wonder what reception was like on the last gen?

I have a 2012 and have good reception 99% of the time. The T-mobile map doesn't correlate to my drop offs. Reception was terrible in my 2005 burb.

I had a 2011 Tahoe... absolutely no problems at all.
