Seat belts, frontApr 8, 2021
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles that may have received an incorrect replacement tensioner cable assembly as part of a previous recall remedy or a subsequent repair. The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.
A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212330040.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

Air bags, frontalJul 10, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Oct 5, 2017
I HAVE BEEN NOTICING SOME SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH MY 2014 SILVERADO 1500. IT STARTED WITH THE "ANTI-THEFT DETTERENT" SYSTEM ACTING UP AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO START THE CAR. AFTER FLIPPING THE KEY A FEW TIMES, IT WENT AWAY. THEN THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED TO WHEN TURNING THE KEY IT WAS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. EVERYTHING WOULD GO BLACK (LIGHTS, INFO CENTER, DIC, ETC). AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING, I COULD TURN THE KEY AND IT WOULD START UP NO PROBLEMS. THEN IT ALL JUST WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THEN JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND THE TRUCK JUST DIED. THE DASH, THE LIGHTS, THE ENGINE, EVERYTHING. I NEARLY TOOK OUT THE ENTRANCE SIGN OF THE PARKING LOT. HANGING WITH MY BACK END IN TRAFFIC I QUICKLY POPPED IT NEUTRAL, RESTARTED THE TRUCK, AND PULLED IN. I COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I DROVE TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, IN THE DRIVE THRU AT CHICK FIL A, I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, RECEIVED MY FOOD, AND AS SOON AS I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK THE TRUCK DIED AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE DASH AND EVERYTHING ELSE. RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME. I SPENT ABOUT 30 MINS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK AND SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE YET TO RECREATE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AROUND 42000 MILES I STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AND LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE SERVICE STEERING ASSIST CAME ON DASH. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND GO. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING IT AROUND A BEND ON A HIGHWAY THE TRUCK SHUT OFF I LOST ALL STEERING THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST CRASHED, THE SERVICE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN TURNING. ON 4-13-17 I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A CHEVY DEALER IT WAS WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. 8-24-17 I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL #17276 FOR REPROGRAMMING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST CONTROL MODULAR. AFTER THE RECALL THE TRUCK STARTED DOING IT MORE OFTEN THE SAME DAY BUT THE STEERING DID NOT LOCK UP BUT THE TRUCK SHUT OFF WHEN I TRIED MAKING A TURN ON A HIGHWAY. THE SERVICE STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. ON 9-7-17 I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER ( CHEVY DEALER NOW CHANGED ITS NAME FROM OASIS TO QUALITY ) COMPLAINING THAT THE RECALL DID NOT WORK. THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR THAT. BUT I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CHEVY DEALER DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 10 MILES AND IT HAPPENED TO THEM.THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE TIME TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A LOOSE GROUND WIRE #G218 UNDER THE DASH CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND IT SEEMS FINE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THEY MADE ME PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE FIRST TIME AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF RECALL # 17276, BECAUSE I BELIEVE PART OF RECALL #17276 HAD TO DO WITH LOW VOLTAGE TO THE STEERING MODULAR. A LOOSE GROUND WILL GIVE YOU LOW VOLTAGE. ANY WAY THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE A RECALL ABOUT THIS LOOSE GROUND WIRE THAT MAKES THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND LOSE STEERING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THANK YOU

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN MAY 2017. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, I KEPT GETTING A "SERVICE STABILITRAC" MESSAGE. ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST MESSAGE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT WENT COMPLETELY DARK. THE STEERING WHEEL RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I NEARLY CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WITH ALL MY STRENGTH I TURNED THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION. AFTER I COASTED TO A STOP, I TURNED THE KEY OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY. ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LOSING POWER, STABILITRAC MESSAGES, DIMINISHED STEERING, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY AND LOST ALL POWER, MY DOOR LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN LIKE THREE TIMES, AC SURGES, RADIO WENT ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS ISAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2014 1500 SILVERADOS. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ISSUE. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. TODAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IN TRAFFIC AND MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AGAIN, TOTAL BLACKOUT OF ALL ELECTRONICS, NO STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT THANKFULLY ALL SYSTEMS TURNED BACK ON IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND I MADE IT HOME. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS LOCATED THE SOURCE. IT IS A FAULT AT THE "G218" GROUND POINT WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT LEFT DASH SPEAKER. (SEE YOUTUBE VIDEO, SEARCH 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 STABILITRAC PROBLEM). SERIOUSLY, HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING.

STEERING ASSIST ERROR, SERVICE STABILITRAC ERROR,- STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF HAND WHILE TURNING , LOSS OF STEERING. ELECTRICAL LOSS- ALL GAUGES AND LIGHTING BLANK WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY
Steering, Electrical system, Exterior lighting, May 19, 2017
TRAVELING AT APPROX. 65MPH ON US17 A DIVIDED FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHICH RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF LIGHTS, SIGNALS, FLASHERS, HORN, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WENT INTO LOCKED POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP IN THE GRASS MEDIAN. AFTER COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS I TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WOULD NOT OPERATE. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER WHILE I WAS ON MY CELL PHONE WITH A TOW SERVICE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAM ON ALONG WITH THE RADIO. THE TRUCK STARTED UP AND AFTER CALLING THE CLOSEST GM DEALER WHICH HAPPEN TO BE ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY I MADE MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THEY WERE QUICKLY ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS GM HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #PIT5405C ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. IT WAS CAUSED BY DASHBOARD FABRIC TRIM BEING CAUGHT UNDER A GROUND POST DURING ASSEMBLY THAT RESULTED IN LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SERVICE. THE TRUCK HAD APPROX. 40,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT AND IT SEEMS IT TOOK EITHER TWO YEARS OR THAT REASONABLY LOW MILEAGE BEFORE THE PROBLEM SURFACED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BY SIMPLY LOSING A GROUND POST AND TRIMMING OUT THE FABRIC INTRUSION. THEY WERE GREAT AND APOLOGIZED FOR WHAT THEY SAW AS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. THEY DID CHARGE AS THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT SAID I SHOULD CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR HELP WITH THE COST. GM REFUSED BUT IT WAS ONLY ABOUT $100.00 SO THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. HOW CAN A COMPANY ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO EXIST AND BE AWARE OF IT ( TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED). IT IS A WONDER THAT I OR ANOTHER MOTORIST ON THE ROAD WITH ME WAS NOT HURT OR WORSE. THIS NOT LIKE A TRUCK NOT STARTING BUT TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ALONG WITH HEADLIGHTS. WHEN YOU WOULD TURN THE WHEEL, THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD GO OUT LIKE YOU TURNED OFF THE KEY AND THEN COME RIGHT BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WOULD DIE IN THE ROAD AND DIED WHILE TURNING AND CREATED NEAR MISSES FOR ACCIDENTS. WHEN THE SYSTEM WOULD COME BACK ON, IT WOULD DISABLE THE STEERING ASSIST AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK BACK TOWARDS CENTER. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WITH VIDEO EVIDENCE OF PROBLEM AND THEY ADVISED THERE WAS NOT RECALLS, SERVICE BULLETINS OR EVEN KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM AND WANTED TO CHARGE $128.00 PER HOUR FLAT RATE TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AT HOME, I FOUND NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON FORUMS AND RELATED BACK TO A KNOWN GROUND ISSUE UNDER THE DASH THAT IS LABELED G218 WHERE INSULATION OR MATERIAL IS FOUND UNDER THE GROUND NUT CREATING A HIGHER RESISTANCE. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THIS MATERIAL MYSELF AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. THE SCARY PART ABOUT THIS IS, MY DAUGHTER HAD THE TRUCK DIE ON HER A COUPLE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT. GM REFUSES TO ACCEPT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS WHEN IT IS A GM MANUFACTURE PROBLEM.
