Unhappy OnStar Red Light..

On the rear view mirror the LED on the far right is now RED, originally green.

The car is a brand new 2010 tc.. only 1000 miles on it.

I hit the button to speak to an advisor and they said the GPS and antenna malfunctioned so they cant track my car and I need to go to the dealership.

Anyone have this problem? The light was green this morning and now it is back to RED.

Mine does this. It will be red or green for a full drive, or othertimes it will switch during my drive. Also I don't have an onstar subscription anymore...I think it was green the whole time when my subscription was active.
