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.

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND A SIGNAL LIGHT IS USED , CRUISE IS DISENGAGED OR IF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP OR DOWN THEN CRUISE WILL BE DISENGAGED. THIS ACTION WILL ALSO CAUSE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO DIM WHEN THE SIGNAL IS USED OR WINDOWS ROLLED UP OR DOWN. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WILL CLEAR UP AND MAY GO ANOTHER HOUR BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND SOMETIMES FLASHES A WARNING IN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER,STABILITRAK DISABLED AND STEERING ASSIST DISABLED DRIVE WITH CAUTION. AGAIN IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IT WILL WORK JUST FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR. THIS STARTED HAPPENING APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO WITH CRUISE BEING DISENGAGED AND THE DASH LIGHTS DIMMING WHILE USING THE SIGNAL LIGHTS OR THE WINDOW SWITCH. THE STABILITRAK AND STEERING WARNINGS STARTED 03/19/2017. ON 03/20/2017 I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MILES AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW SPEED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIPPED FROM MY HANDS. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON APRIL 8TH WHILE PULLING A TRAILER WITH THE TOW HAUL MODE ENGAGED. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE AND KICKED THE VEHICLE INTO PASSING GEAR WHEN THE STABILITRAK AND STEERING WARNING BOTH CAME ON .

THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING. THE VEHICLES STEERING CAPABILITIES MALFUNCTIONED AND COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING OCCURRED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE WERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING STEERING FAILURE AS WELL. THERE IS VIDEO EVIDENCE ON YOUTUBE TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. SEE "2014 CHEVY SILVERADO STABILITRAK ISSUES PART 4" ON YOUTUBE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY IS OCCURRING.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LOSS OF STEERING POWER, ETC. AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES, THE ERROR POPPED UP STATING THAT THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM HAD KICKED IN AND THE VEHICLE STEERING JERKED ME INTO ANOTHER LANE ON INTERSTATE 485 AT ROUGHLY 70 MILES PER HOUR.. TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BUT AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND RE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, THE VEHICLE STARTED. TODAY AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SYSTEM STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND THAT THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM WAS NOW ENGAGED. HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT CHECKED OUT COMPLETELY FINE. IT IS MY FEELING THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL OR A GROUND SOMEWHERE. AFTER REVIEWING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE STEERING TO COMPLETELY TAKE OVER AT 70 MILES PER HOUR.

I PURCHASED THIS 2014 SILVERADO PICK UP NEW. AT ABOUT 20000 MILES IT BEGAN NOT STARTING, STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL IS JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS/ MOST OF THE RECORDED INFORMATION IS ERASED, THE INTRUSION ALARM ICON IS LIT AND MUST BE CANCELLED. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED YET. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL GM DEALERS. COMPLAINED TO GM DIRECTLY SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE MANY EMAILS FROM ME TO GM AND FROM GM TO ME. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS NOW REFUSED TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE. THEY PUT A COMPUTER ON IT AND IF THERE IS NO FAULT CODE THEY SAY "IIF THERE ISN'T A CODE WE WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START" (A DIRECT QUOTE) THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 80000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME 60000 MILES MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE CANCER AND MUST TRAVEL 233 MILES ONE WAY FOR CHEMO AND TREATMENT EVERY 28 DAYS AND I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO MEET THAT NEED BUT HAS FAILED TO LIVE UP TO THE HYPE FROM GM AND THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS NOT SATISFACTORY I NEED SOME HELP NOW.

AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR AN HOUR AND HALF I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, AS I WAS TURNING TO GO DOWN AN AISLE TO PARK THE TRUCK INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE DASH DIMMED AND THE POWER STEERING DIED ENOUGH TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE TURNING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE I HAD NO STEERING. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN DROVE TO AN EMPTY SECTION OF THE PARKING LOT AND DONE A FEW SLOW FIGURE EIGHTS SEEING IF THE ISSUE WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER NOTHING HAPPENED I PROCEEDED BACK TO THE PARKING AREA AND AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE LOSING POWER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKING OUT OF MY HAD UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE POINT I COULD NO LONGER STEER THE TRUCK. THE SCREEN ON THE DASH SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY TRACTION CONTROL BUT THE GROUND WAS DRY AND PAVED. I AGAIN LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A MINUTE AND WAS THEN ABLE TO PARK. AFTER SHOPPING I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER STOP AND THEN HOME WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. WHEN I WAS BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AN ERROR MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE SCREEN SAYING THE BACKUP SAFETY DEVICES WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH STARTED DIMMING AGAIN. THE STEERING DID NOT ACT UP DURING BACKUP MODE. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THE ISSUE RELATED TO LOW VOLTAGE CODES WHICH THEY SAID MY TRUCK SHOWED. THEY SAID THE BATTERY TESTED FINE AND CHEVROLET WOULD NOT LET THEM REPLACE ANYTHING SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUES. THEY DID SAY THEY WERE REPLACING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE THOUGH BUT WOULD NOT SAY WHY THEY WERE REPLACING IT.

INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL WILL YANK FROM THE DRIVER'S HANDS AND WARNING ERRORS FOR STABILITRAK OR TRACTION CONTROL REPORTED IN CENTER INFO SCREEN, WHILE THE MYLINK SCREEN GOES BLANK. THIS TYPICALLY OCCURS WHILE MANEUVERING AT LOW SPEEDS IN PARKING SITUATIONS. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE INVOLVING THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

SINCE 05/02/2016 I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH CRAZY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT STARTED WITH HEAD LIGHTS DIMMING AT RANDOM TIMES. THEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, ACTIVITE TURN SIGNAL. WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD CUT OFF. SIMULATED 4 TIMES TO ENSURE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. CONTINUED DRIVING. AT 30 MPH THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS & RADIO TURNED OFF BUT ENGINE STAYED RUNNING, 45 SECONDS LATER EVERYTHING TURNED BACK ON. AT THIS TIME THE WIFE FREAKED OUT & ASKED TO PARK, SCARED FOR HER SAFETY & MY OWN. PULLED FORWARD TO PARALLEL PARK, WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. BEFORE REVERSE WAS INITIATED THE TRUCK THREW MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS (SERVICE STABLITRAK, ASSISTED STEERING, ETC). THE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED & LOCKED UP. THEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF. PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED KEY & STARTED RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO LOW VOLTAGE INDICATION AND NO PROBLEMS. GMC DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM & RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITHIN 2 DAYS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 07/05/2016. THIS TIME IT WAS SENT TO CHEVROLET. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR & CHECKED THE SECURITY OF THE WIRE HARNESS. 07/11/2016 THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP & SHUT OFF AGAIN IN A STARBUCKS DRIVE THROUGH. THIS TIME LOCKING MYSELF & MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK FOR 3 MINUTES. WHEN IGNITION WAS TURNED, TRUCK WOULD NOT START, NO LIGHTS WOULD COME ON EITHER. THE TRUCK ACTED DEAD. THIS TIME CHEVROLET REPLACED GAS PEDAL. 10/31/16 THE TRUCK SHUTOFF & LOCKED UP AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK VIDEO TO PROVE MY CASE IN HOPES IT WOULD HELP THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TESTED BATTERY AND CABLES. 12/19/2016 IT HAPPENED AGAIN & ALSO SMELT BURNING. CHEVY REPLACED ALTERNATOR CABLE & NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. COULD NOT SMELL BURNING. 01/10/17.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JUNE 2016 WITH 32K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AUGUST 2016 AT 35K MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED JUST SHORT OF HITTING MY MAILBOX. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE DEAD AT THIS POINT. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. 3 DAYS LATER ON A FAMILY OUTING, AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPACE AT A THEME PARK, MY WIFE HAD FORGOTTEN HER THEME PARK MUG, SO WE WALKED BACK TO GET IT. WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE KEY ENTRY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE COURTESY LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAD NO POWER AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER SPENDING THE DAY IN THE THEME PARK WITH FRIENDS, WE WERE GOING TO GET A RIDE HOME DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. I TOLD THEM LETS TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT WILL DO ANYTHING. IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED THE SAME ERRATIC PROCESS. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT WAS WHILE DRIVING IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY OR FATALLY INJURED. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR.

I WAS HAVING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IN TRAFFIC AFTER HITTING MY BREAKS MANY TIMES I NOTICED MY DASH LIGHTS GO DIM, THE RADIO WOULD CUT OUT ONCE IN A WHILE AND MY GAUGE CLUSTER WOULD RESET JUST LIKE IT LOOKS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN APPROX.30 MIN. I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, A CAR WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY WHEN AND I HIT MY BREAKS THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A RETAINING WALL. EVERYTHING WAS DINGING THE ABS AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE WORD STABILITAC WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CENTER DASH. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND OFFERED NO REAL EXPLANATION FOR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. NOW HERE WE ARE A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE MY EXIT FOR WORK. WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS THE LIGHTS GO DIM IN THE TRUCK, THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE ABS AND OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THINGS ARE DINGING AND STABILITRAC IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH. WHEN I STARTED INTO MY TURN THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY MANY TIMES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE OFF RAMP. IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I RELUCTANTLY CONTINUED ON TO WORK AS IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. ONE OF THEM I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON VIDEO. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE FIRST ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR AS IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF GM DOESN'T FIX IT.

AT THESE TIMES AND INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARDS, THESE WOULD APPEAR AND THE STEERING WOULD THEN RESPOND AS IF THE ENGINE WERE NOT RUNNING WHILE UNDERWAY. THIS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL PARKING LOTS REQUIRING CLOSE MANEUVERING AS WELL AS ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ENDANGERING MY FAMILY, MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE POSITIVE ENGINE LEAD, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE.

PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE RADIO DISPLAY BLINKING OFF WHEN I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL OR ACTIVATED TURN SIGNALS. THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE, BUT DID NOT THINK OF IT AS A SAFETY CONCERN. I THEN GOT STUCK IN A LITTLE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND JUST ACTING STRANGE ALL TOGETHER. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING APPROX 30 MPH WHEN THE RADIO BLINKED OFF THE DOORS LOCKED, UNLOCKED THEN LOCKED AGAIN. A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH SOMETHING STABILITRAK THEN STARTED SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD AGAIN. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO WHERE SAFELY TO PULL OVER. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY [XXX] OLD CHILD AND HAD SOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AT THIS POINT. NO MORE THAN A MILE LATER, WHILE IN THE SAME STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND APPLY THE BRAKES, THE RADIO BLINKED OFF AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 30-35 MPH IN TRAFFIC WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRUCK TO NEUTRAL TO START THE TRUCK AND CONTINUE TO THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE TRUCK STARTED TO SPUTTER OUT ALMOST TO A STALL AND QUICKLY FLASHING A STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND THE DASH BLINKING OFF, UNTIL I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I CALLED TO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER COME PICK MY CHILD UP AS I HAD SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS OF MY CHILD BEING IN THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO MY APPOINTMENT WHICH INVOLVED ACCESSING THE TURNPIKE THROUGH TOLL BOOTHS. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO ENTER THE TOLL PLAZA THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING RADIO BLINKED OFF, DASH DISPLAYS BLINKED OFF, SPUTTERING THE STEERING WHEEL AT THIS POINT RIPPED OUT OF MY HAND ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION, STABILITRAK MESSAGE APPEARING. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROX 2 HOURS. MY RETURN TRIP WAS NORMAL AND DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THIS TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP WITH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING.

VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIFTH TIME. WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE, WHEN CHANGING LANES AFTER TURN SIGNAL IS USED THE CRUISE SHUTS DOWN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH, LOCKS FLIP UP N DOWN, STEERING WHEEL JERKS BACK N FORTH THEN VEHICLE DIES. THE INCIDENT THAT IS REASON FOR BEING IN THE SHOP NOW IS, WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, STEERING LOCKED N UNLOCKED, DOOR LOCKS AGAIN FLIPPED UP N DOWN, VEHICLE DIED WITH NO POWER. COULD NOT UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, NO POWER WHAT SO EVER, KEY WOULD NO TURN. EVENTUALLY I HEARD A PSST NOISE AND THE POWER CAME BACK. THE PREVIOUS TIMES TAKEN TO THE DEALER, I'M ALWAYS TOLD, CANNOT DUPLICATE. THIS IS A DANGER TO ME,MY FAMILY. AFTER BEING A FAITHFUL GM FAN FOR OVER 40+ YEARS THEY HAVE LOST THIS GUY TO ANOTHER MAKE OF VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AS I, WITHOUT RESOLVE. THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST.
