We finally made it to the side of the interstate where my husband was able to put the Yukon in park. He was…

This issue has resulted in the complete loss of OnStar connectivity, meaning that automatic crash notification would not occur in the event of an accident. Additionally, we are no longer able to remotely unlock…
