I too have the same problem. Sometimes the remote start works sometimes it doesn't, I would say it works about 60% of the time. It tends to work better when I am trying from the rear of the truck versus when standing directly in front of or beside the truck. The truck is obvously receiving a signal as the lights flash on. Sometimes the truck will even start to make a sound like it is getting ready to turn over but other times nothing other than the lights flash on. It is not the remotes themselves as all of our remotes provide the same inconsistant results and changing batteries made no difference either....it has also started cutting back off once it has been running for a few seconds....frustrating

Does it work better in certain areas compared to others?

the remote start feature on my 2007 tahoe ltz is unreliable, only working about 75% of the time. Using the remote start from indentical locations (front window of the house) will not give identical results everytime.
I hit the lock button on the rke fob, see the tail lights flash and immediately transition to the remote start button, holding it down until the lights flash again and the engine starts...or not. When it fails to start, a second attempt has never been successful. I have no emission system warnings or other indicated faults that might interfere with remote start, and i was wondering if anyone else has run into this, or what might cause it.
