yesterday when pulling car into garage, got the SOS failure alert in the message center and flashing SOS/service indicators. Same today when pulling out of garage. Had this issue a few months back and replaced the telematics battery and system has been working like a champ until yesterday.

Tonight, I went to pull XE in the garage, push the start button, all lights/indicators come on as normal but immediately extinguish and no start. Checked battery voltage and 12.2 V on 3 year old AGM battery (date code 5/23). Was able to jump start and let run for about 10 min. Pulled into garage, started and stopped a few times with no issues. Suspect battery may be going but concerned as have seen others with telematics issues and car becomes an anchor.

Plan on taking it to Advance in the AM for battery/charging system check but for those who have had the telematics fault turn your car into an anchor - what were your indications and were you able to jump start initially?

 

If it starts at all, it's not the telematics being off network. If the module is staying on and draining the battery that could cause the issues you're getting.
