Just received my 15' z51. Absolutely love the car but navigation does not work. It jumps all over the place sometimes on the right street sometimes 3 or 4 streets over and loses connection. Havent brought it to dealer yet due to I wanna get as much ride in as possible before winter. Anyone experiencing same problems?? Major fix or simple??? Thanks in advance,

It has the red X over the GPS most of the time right? It's a simple fix that I had done last week. They just shield a couple of the wires in the mirror. It seems to be a pretty common issue from what I can tell.

Mine did the samething. When it got to the point I was going to take it in it stoped and is working better. It is still the wrost nav system I have ever had. Takes 5 - 7 mins for the traffic to be displayed and the POI feature is usless. The car is three months old and the nav system shows a gas station that was closed down and demalished 3 years ago. I have had other GM systems that were very good can't understand why this one is so bad. There are lots of folks on here with the same issues. Sorry for the bad news.

I had Nav issue. Search for "GPS red x". There is a pre-TSB documented approach to fix the issue that the dealer can follow up on with GM Engineering. Separate the Nav and PDR antenna, apply electrical interference tape, ensure the antenna is not crimped.

Took my dealer 1.5 hours and it's been working great since.
