It is a 2006 model.
Had the same problem on my Honda. All cars suck. Just the ways of the world I guess. Well,Ok, our Raniier had no remote start problems......GO Buick!
There is a bulletin for the 2.4L dying after remote start, but none for not starting at all from the remote. There is also a bulletin referencing the remote start not working after replacement of either the body or engine computer. The dealer can put the latest software updates in the bcm and pcm and that may fix the problem.

Thanks. I'll take the info to the Chevy dealer. It cannot hurt. Some thing's up with the car. My wife said she was concerned about it again today ( 15 degrees F ), but the remote worked fine. I do hate these things when they are intermittent!
The one in my Honda did not work. Then did an hour later. Grrrr.... Maybe my house is on an old Indian burial mound or something. Poltergiests..................

Be careful about putting one in it. Had an '06 Pontiac Torrent (rebadged Equinox) PITA and never did get it working.
