I took delivery of a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado on 12/31/2014. While I am very happy with the vehicle, I am VERY unhappy with the OnStar on the vehicle. Within in few days in was non-operable. I took it to the dealers where they diagnosed that the OnStar Module had failed. What makes me VERY unhappy is the time it will take to get a replacement for it - 1 MONTH!!! I'm without the OnStar service for this time and cannot see why a standard part should take so long to replace.

First 'real' trip in our new 'Shiny.'
THE SIERRA NEVADA, SEPTEMBER 2013 TRIP
Sunday, September 22nd, 2013
Left the house in Frank's hands - our faithful house-sitting buddy. First stop was an overnight at 1000 Trails, Soledad Canyon, Acton, CA. 1000 Trails has changed from a membership only campgrounds to public access. I suppose they need the money but it is to the detriment of the quality of the campers. We were next to a family that had three chihuahuas that yapped, crapped in our space, had trash everywhere and to cap it all had a 'Klepto' son - he even tried to steal a magazine from my hand as I dozed in a chair! I also caught him around the back of the trailer looking for stuff and when we walked our dog I saw him try to get in our trailer. I notified the Ranger station of this.
Monday September 23rd
Destination, Boulder Creek, Lone Pine. The trip was uneventful, which is always good. The blue of the sky here always amazes me, the changing colors in the mornings and evenings is unforgettable, no wonder the Sierras are known as the 'Range of Light!' Just sat out the rest of the day enjoying the tranquility, and of course, Jewel - our dog, infallibly remembered the place and we were led hither and yon on her walks. As the Sierras are noted for their 'light show,' the Panamints to the east stand in contrast with muted ochres - behind them is Death Valley.

Took a trip up the road to Lone Pine, just about three miles. I had realized a need for a few things and paid the price to acquire them in Lone Pine! We had lunch there, never have found a good eatery in Lone Pine, and this was no exception. The Elk Burger I had looked and tasted like an overdone $1 burger at McDonalds, the rest of the meal was passable, however. On our way back from Lone Pine yesterday, I noticed a sign for a place called Keeler. Aha, trip for tomorrow, I thought. That was about it for the day, just sat out and vegetated. Later I did try and 'decode' some of the stuff in our new, shiny trailer. Picked up a book on the old mining days in the area, it's giving me ideas for a new story.
Wednesday, 25th September.
Went to Keeler, about 13 miles from Rte. 395 and finished up on the opposite side of Owens 'mostly dry' Lake. Saw, reputedly the World's largest dolomite marble mine on the way - picked up some samples for Kelsey's mosaic project. Passed over the Owens River - very low, did not bother to break out the tackle. Keeler is virtually the end of the line, railway line that is. The line was intended to go all the way to Mojave about 100 miles to the south, but the mines petered out when it got to Keeler - and that's all she wrote! People still live there, even has a Post Office and some new dwellings, but I got the impression that is where you would go if you did not want to be bothered by other folks too much.
