yeah, whatever generic units they are selling are duds or at least a portion of them are. I feel like they were somewhat deceptive with their advertising of them by calling them “GM” sensors. I should have spent my money with a reputable parts dealer.

fortunately the two new ones did and I've had no issues since then, but still.

The plot thickens...I also bought my TPMS sensors from Corvette Garage (on Ebay)...so it seems this vendor is selling flakey sensors....
The part number marked on the Corvette Garage sensors was "13598775", but the plastics bags they came in had no markings, or GM logos. I guess these are knock-offs or 2nd quality units.
What was the part number on the GM branded part sensor that you bought? Was the plastic bag marked/branded?
So, I will go and have that one sensor in the front right wheel replaced, with a genuine GM one.

Like you said the bag from corvette garage was just blank, a plain plastic bag with no markings. And this is what made me suspicious.
The top bag in the pic is the sensor bag and the bottom bag is the valve stem nut. They are 2 different part numbers and bought these from Summit Racing. Also the GM ones from Summit said Schrader on the back of them. The ones from Corvette garage do not.
The corvette garage advertised part number “13598775” sensors are absolutely 100% not GM genuine Schrader sensors.
