Default OnStar

My OnStar first monthly check found a problem with the back up battery for the OnStar it self. Is this common? I hate to bring my car in for service.
I am always afraid there going to scratch the car. When I brought the GP
in for service once the wrecked the car I was so

Yep the first problem with my car was the onstar light being red. They replaced the battery.

On all 3 of my Monte Carlo's, the red light would come on and then go off after 3-5 mins of driving after the year trial was over with. I wonder if its a way for OnStar to check your system or maybe its just a common problem with it.

aaah... maybe cuz you're no longer subscribed to OnStar, so the service is not available to you - that's why...

Its funny how they remind you at the worst of times by showing the red light and making you think there is something really wrong with the system, when all it could be is a " reminder to pay us some money to turn the light to green"
