Recalls and investigations
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, electric power assist systemJun 29, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist, especially during low-speed turning maneuvers.
If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-432-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17276.

Steering, Electrical system, Sep 22, 2020
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET EVERY TIME I SLOWED DOWN TO DO A TURN OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND MY TRUCK TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. IT ONLY DID THIS WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN AND TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES BACK TO BACK.

NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN INTO A PUBLIC PARKING LOT FROM A 55 MPH HWY, ALL POWER WENT OFF, ENGINE DIED AND JUST BEFORE THIS STEERING WAS VERY HARD TO TURN, STABIL TRACK LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. GM DEALER STATED MAYBE BAD BATTERY, I HAD THE NEW BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS GOOD
Electrical system, Service brakes, Engine, Sep 9, 2020
WHILE DRIVING HOME, A STABILITRAK WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH AND MY AC/RADIO BEGAN TO STOP BUT RAMPED BACK UP AFTER THE DISMISSAL. ONCE I GOT TO MY STREET, I MADE A LEFT AND THE TRUCK COMPLETED TURNED OFF. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DRIVEWAY. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THERE'S MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEB THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK.
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 27, 2020
150 MILES AFTER REGULAR SERVICE OF ENGINE LIGHT/ABS/AND STABILTRAK LIGHTS BEING ON, AND AN OIL CHANGE, THE TRUCK STALLED (LUCKILY I WAS IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY). SHORTLY AFTER, THE ENGINE LIGHT, FOLLOWED BY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SUDDENLY THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE ACTED WILDLY, THERE WAS A VERY HARD SHIFT. I PUT IT ON CRUISE CONTROL JUST TO HELP THE ENGINE QUIT HARD SHIFTING....CC CANCELLED ITSELF OUT. EVERYTHING SETS BACK TO NORMAL FOR A MINUTE OR LESS AND IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN, THIS TIME TAKING AWAY POWER STEERING AND A LOUDER "HARD SHIFT". IN THE MEAN TIME, EVERY WARNING I THINK THERE IS WOULD POP UP...."STABILTRAK OFF, STARRING ASSIST REDUCED...ETC". THIS JUST CONTINUES AND SEEMS TO GET MORE AGGRESSIVE, MORE FREQUENT...INCLUDING RESETTING TO NORMAL BRIEFLY EACH TIME. SCHUMACHER BUICK/GM/CHEVY SAID IT COULD BE TCM, OR ECM, OR ANOTHER I CAN'T RECALL. UNHAPPY WITH LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUE, AND A "LET'S TRY THIS THEN THIS THEN THIS..", IT HAS PERPLEXED NOT ONE BUT TWO VERY ACCREDITED MECHANIC TEAMS. THE TRUCK HAS 130,000 MILES, AND WAS SERVICED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BY THE CHEVY DEALER SINCE IACQUIRED IT NEW. IT NEVER HAD ANY SIMILAR ISSUE UNTIL JUST AFTER ITS MOST RECENT MAINTENANCE. THANKFULLY THIS ALL OCCURRED WITHIN MILES OF MY HOME, AS THE ISSUE IS MOST DEFINITELY A THREAT TO ANY HOPES OF SAFETY. TOWING IT, IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAFELY MOVE THAT VEHICLE AFTER EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURN AC AND RADIO GO OUT, RPMS DIE DOWN, STABLITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF TRUCK STALLS LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS STARTED AUG. 10TH AND HAPPENS DAILY
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 20, 2020
STARTED MAKING A TURN AND THE TRUCK INSTANTLY SHUT OFF LEADING TO POWER STEERING LOSS CAUSING ME TO END UP IN THE OPPOSING LANE ALMOST HITTING TWO CHILDREN AND THEIR FATHER ON BIKES. FATHER DIDN'T HAVE MUCH PATIENCE WITH ME TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK... FIX THIS ISSUE OR ELSE IT WILL BECOME A HUGE LIABILITY. BUY BACK ALL OF THESE TRUCKS AND CRUSH THEM.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, AT A SLOW TURN THE TRUCK STOPPED DEAD. NO POWER, BARELY WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING PARKED VEHICLES. TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN IT ALREADY WAS, ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF MY SUDDEN STOP. I WAS THEN TRAPPED IN MY PICKUP. WINDOWS AND DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. NO RESPONSE FROM TURNING THE KEY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED AND BOTH WERE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ERROR. I LOOKED IT UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAID NO RECALL ON SUCH A 'COMMON' AND UNSAFE PROBLEM, ANOTHER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL OPEN. I WAS TOLD BY GM HEADQUARTERS NO RECALL. TOLD BY SERVICE MGR AT THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED. ONLY AFTER I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME IT'LL COST ME $364. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT HE TOLD ME ONLY 3 DAYS EARLIER OF THE RECALL, HE THEN DENIED IT. WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE NUMBERS OF PERSONS WHO COMPLAINED, I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE AT CHEVY'S EXPENSE. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK ON VACATION THE END OF THE MONTH. IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN, I'VE INSTRUCTED OUR TWO CHILDREN TO SECURE A GOOD LAWYER AND OPEN A WRONGFUL DEATH/INJURY SUIT. I WILL HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE INFORMATION I REVIEWED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTS ALONG WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THE REPAIRS BY THIS 'CERTIFIED' DEALERSHIP AT THEIR READY.

LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING WHEN PARKING, TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN MAKING TURNS ATSTOP SIGNS OR AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 17, 2020
LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE WHEN MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY ROADS, IN PARKING LOTS, AND ON AND OFF HIGHWAYS, YOU HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN BACK ON. STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITRAK HAS BEEN BECOMING DISABLED ON A REGULAR BASIS ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREETS, IN PARKING LOTS, AND ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. SERVICE STABILITRAK AND STEERING ASSIST MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED DURING THESE TIME HOWEVER DO NOT LEAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO TO BE SCANNED. GM DEALER STATES THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 13, 2020
SOMETIMES WHEN I HOLD DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAPPENES AND MY STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HARD MY AC TURNS OFF MY WHOLE DASHBOARD TURNS OFF AND SO DOES MY RADIO THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS IT TURNS BACK ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I'M ROLLING UP THE WINDOWS MY HEADLIGHTS DIM. I THINK SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED ONCE AND IT WAS NOT THE VOLTAGE IT NEEDED I REPLACED IT WITH THE BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS WELL FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND THE ISSUE REOCCURRED. WHEN I AM REVERSING MY STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HARD AS I'M PRESSING ON THE PEDAL WHILE I'M PARKING IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES DO IT FREQUENTLY.

HAVING MAJOR COMPLICATIONS WITH STEERING WHILE BACKING UP, LOSS OR POWER STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEM NOT WORKING ACCURATELY
Steering, Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Aug 7, 2020
IN MOTION AND AT LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN IDLING INTO A TIGHT TURN, LIKE A PARKING LOT OR SPACE. IT HASN'T ALWAYS CUT TOTALLY OFF. USUALLY THE 'STABILITY TRAC' LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE FAILURE, BUT SOME TIMES IT JUST CUTS OFF, AND WHEN I CRANK IT RESTARTS RIGHT UP.
Electrical system, Aug 7, 2020, crash
WHEN DRIVING A MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE DIES!! IT CAN BE RESTARTED, BUT THE DANGER OF SOMEONE ASS ENDING YOU IS A SCARY ONE! HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, IT STALLS AND THEN YOU CAN RESTART. NO DEFINITE DATE AS IT HAPPENS OFTEN
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 6, 2020
TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND ALSO ON A STREET MAKING A TURN, THE ELECTRICAL FLASHED, TURNED OFF AND THEN THE TRUCK DIED, LOCKING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TWOCE SAID BATTERY, BUT BASED ON SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON MANY CEHVY FORUMS, THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND NEEDS A RECALL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Aug 3, 2020
STABILITREK FLASHES AND THEN VEHICLES STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE TRUCK DIES. USUALLY IT'S WHEN I'M GOING SLOW AND USUALLY IT'S WHEN I'M TURNING. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW IN AUGUST OF 2020 BUT ALSO HAPPENED A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN THERE WAS A RECALL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. NO WARNING AND THE TRUCK DIES VERY UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM I SEE OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING TOO
Steering, Electrical system, Aug 1, 2020
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2914 SILVERADO LOSING POWER STEERING AND TURNING OFF WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE TRUCK HAS ALSO CUT OFF RANDOMLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN A PARKING LOT. THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSTANT THUS HARD TO DIAGNOSE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO CHEVY TWICE AND THE MECHANICS WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON ALL ELECTRICAL FLICKERS WHILE DRIVING, ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND CAN BE FATAL.
Steering, Electrical system, Jul 27, 2020
I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, I DIDN'T HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE GOT BELOW 15MPH OR SO. THE STEERING LOCKED UP. AND IT ACTED LIKE I HAD TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, INSIDE AND OUT. AND THE VEHICLE DIED. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IT DID START UP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME BUT SINCE THEN THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO GOES BLACK AND WON'T DO ANYTHING. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. AND THE STEERING FEELS LIKE ONE MINUTE YOU HAVE POWER STEERING AND THE NEXT YOU DON'T NOW.

Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 16, 2020, crash
TRUCK FLASHED SERVICE STBILITRAK AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHOT RIGHT AND MADE ME GO UP AND OVER A CURB AT 35 MPH. SCANNER SAYS VOLTAGE LOST IN BCM AND NOW IT SAYS TO SERVICE THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM WITH NO TRAILER HOOKED UP.
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 13, 2020
WHEN I AM TURNING, MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND OR DIES. IF MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ARE ON IT CAUSES MY AC TO TURN SO LOW IT ALMOST DOESN'T WORK AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I WAS ALMOST HIT IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DIED DUE TO LOSS OF POWER WHEN I WAS TURNING.
Steering, Electrical system, Service brakes, Jul 12, 2020
IT STARTED WITH THE TRUCK LOSING POWER WHEN MAKING SLOW SPEED TURNS INTO DRIVEWAY/PARKING SPOT WHICH INCLUDES LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. THE POWER USED TO COME BACK UP BUT NOW IT IS RESULTING IN THE TRUCK JUST TURNING ITSELF OFF MID TURN AND NOT JUST ON SLOW TURNS. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN ONTO A STREET AND I WAS FORCED TO MUSCLE THE TRUCK OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD- NO POWER AT ALL SO NO POWER STEERING-GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON IF YOU USE THE TURN SIGNAL IT KICKS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE AC WILL JUST STOP AND THE TRUCK WILL JUST SHUT OFF. THE WHOLE TIME ALL/ANY OF THIS IS HAPPENING MY DASH IS TELLING ME STABILITY CONTROL IS OFF, STEERING ASSIST OF OFF DRIVE WITH CARE....IF THE DASH HAS ANY POWER THAT IS. THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FLASHES LIKE I AM USING THE BRAKES WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE TRUCK DOOR OPEN, KEY OUT. I HAVE UNPLUGGED THAT THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. AT TIMES IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM THAT ALL POWER ALMOST BOTTOMS OUT AND COMES BACK MOMENTS LATER. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG AND AS SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES...SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND OFFER RECALL AND GET THESE TRUCKS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE DOES CRASH. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 53,300 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS A NEW BATTERY AND WE HAVE CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR. THE DATE BELOW WOULD BE WHEN I ALMOST CRASHED TURNING THE CORNER AND TRUCK DIED.

IT STARTED OUT AS THE TRUCK LOSING ALL POWER WHEN ENTERING THE TRUCK . NO POWER TO THE DASH OR IGNITION. THEN POWER WOULD RETURN OUT OF NOWHERE. LATELY THE TRUCK WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING SITTING STILL AND MOVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE WILL STAY RUNNING BUT NO DASH NO A/C AND WHEN THE DASH RETURNS STABITRAC NOTIFICATION IS ON THE SCREEN . TODAY THE TRUCK DID THIS 11 TIMES IN 1 HOUR AND EVEN LOST STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LARGE HIGHWAY.
