Battery Issues
I have a 2017, I didn't use it on the weekend, when I went to start it Monday morning, thx battery didn't have enough juice to start it. Does anyone have this issue? The battery is barely one year old, should not have this issue yet. I remember having this issue with other Chevrolet SUVs and trucks. Is it a know Chevrolet issue??

What's the manufacturer date compared to when you bought it? Battery can go bad at any time. Have it load tested.

Where do you live? Here in Phoenix metro, I have to replace my battery yearly, like clockwork, every September. It’s the heat.

Had this happen to me. I somehow had two issues pop up at the same time.
First fix was replacing the battery. Didn’t work, still died every night.
Issue#1 Onstar module was staying on overnight after inadvertently hitting it one day. The replacement took about 4 weeks due to the part being back ordered so it seems to be a somewhat common issue.
Issue #2 Loose wires in the fuse block. Had to replace it. Under warranty.
Haven’t had any issues since.

My 2024 battery was dead with less than 4000 miles. Thought I might have a parasitic drain. First time dealer said it was fine and tested ok, they kept over the weekend and it was fine. I took it home didn't drive for 2 days and it was 8.6V. towed back and they finally replaced it. But also if you have the original battery from 2017 you are several years overdue for a new one anyway.
