reference two other posts with the same issue with their Tahoe.

In summary, the car will start and stay started until the start button is released. If the button is held long enough, the car will stay on. This happens maybe 1 out of 10 times. And seems to happen on the coldest of days ( 10-15 F in the garage! ).

It seems this is supposedly operator error. I'd like to think that after using the remote start on three different GM vehicles (all work the same) and doing so probably 200++ times, that I know how to operate it correctly. I have made mistakes before, so I won't rule it out here. But I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong with this one vehicle that I don't do with my other cars.
