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.

OUR TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE RADIO AND AIR WILL TURNOFF FIRST THEN THE TRUCK WILL SHUT RIGHT OFF. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU ARE TOWING AND GOING RIGHT ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT TURNS OFF. SOMEONE IT'S GOING TO GET KILLED BEFORE ANYTHING IT'S DONE. WE HAD THE RECALL DONE BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CARE BECAUSE I HAVE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. DRIVERS BEWARE AND STAY SAFE!

WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AT THIS TIME, THE AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO TURNED OFF, BUT THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING. DISMISSING THE ALERT RETURNED THE A/C AND RADIO, AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED RUNNING. A FEW MINUTES LATER, AN ALERT POPPED UP FOR STABILITRACK, THE A/C TURNED OFF, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL WHILE MOVING. I LOST MY BRAKES, WAS STILL ABLE TO STEER, AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE INTERNET TALKING ABOUT GROUNDING ISSUES RELATED TO THIS, AND IT'S NOT UNCOMMON. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

WHEN DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 55-70 MPH THE DASH FLICKERS AND THE TRUCK WILL OCCASIONALLY WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND AND THEN COME RIGHT BACK ON. THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR ALSO IF YOU TAP THE BRAKES AFTER THIS HAPPENS. UPON PARKING THE TRUCK THE FLICKERING OF THE DASH CAN OCCUR MORE MILDLY BY ENGAGING THE BRAKE, TURN SIGNALS, OR HIGH BEAMS. SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE CRUISE AND TURN SIGNALS TO CHANGE LANES WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING. STABILITY TRAK ERROR COMES UP WHEN THE TRUCK TURNS COMPLETELY OFF. IT HAS ONCE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT STEERING ASSIST GOING OFF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. *TR

ONCE I PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND WHILE WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN, IT SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY AND THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. NOW IT IS SHUTTING OFF AND NOT RESTARTING. THE POWER STEERING IS ALSO GONE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS. WE'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY ISSUES. THIS STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 85,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON CITY STREET, GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING, VOLTAGE WILL GO DOWN AND RESULT IN THE TRUCK CUTTING OUT (RADIO) LIGHTS FLICKER (HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS) AND SERVICE STABITRAK WILL COME ON DASH THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. WITH FINAL RESULT OF HAVING SURGES OF POWER STEERING WITH VOLTAGE DROPS. RESULTING IN ALMOST A HEAD ON COLLISION. PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF FOR A MINUTE THEN IT WILL BE FINE. TOOK TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THEY 'VISUALLY CHECKED' ALL ENGINE GROUNDS, BATTERY TERMINALS, STARTER WIRE, ALTERNATOR WIRE, AND POWER STEERING WIRES. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT GOOD. IT DID THROW 13 DTC'S RELATED TO LOW VOLTAGE. HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM IN 7,000 MILES AND NOW IT IS STARTING AGAIN. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE FAULTY ISSUE, AND SO IS MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. BUT, THEY WANNA 'TRY' ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH I THINK IS WRONG. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE SAME YEAR OF TRUCK WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT WILL BE FINE FOR 6-8 MONTHS THEN IT WILL ACT UP. IT STARTS WHEN I BRAKE THE LIGHTS WILL DIM. THE STABILTACK LIGHT WILL FLASH OFF AND ON. WHILE STILL IN MOTION. THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING WILL LOCK UP. USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TURNING SLOW. IT'S HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS, PARKING LOTS AND A PARKING GARAGE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HAVE NO CONTROL AT THIS POINT. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE TRUCK NOT CRANKING BUT AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE IT WILL CRANK LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG WITH IT. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKS COME OFF AND ON. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PPL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING IS THAT IT IS THE G218 GROUND ISSUE. I'VE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I'VE TOOK IT THEY CHARGE ME A FORTUNE AND TELL ME TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT. I HOPE THIS GET INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT'S A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL BE HURT. I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

ALSO THE SERVICE TRAILER BREAK SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY POP UP ON DASH SCREEN AND IMMEDIATELY CLEAR ITSELF AND KEEP GOING OFF REPEATEDLY BACK TO BACK ANNOYING YOU TO DEATH. THIS TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A HIGH SAFETY RATING FOR I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND I DON'T NEED A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES SHUTTING OFF IN MIDDLE OF TURN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS WITH ME. THE SHUTTING OFF AND THE TRAILER BREAK SYSTEM HAS BEEN STEADILY GETTING WORSE. GM NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED OR THEY WILL HAVE LEGAL ACTIONS FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET, AND WHENEVER I WOULD SIGNAL LEFT TO MERGE INTO THE OTHER LANE, THE CRUISE WOULD DISENGAGE. I COULD RESET IT AS USUAL IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, BUT IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE, SO I TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, AS WELL AS MYLINK WINDOW IN CENTER CONSOLE AREA. IT WOULD ALSO GO NUTS IF I ROLLED UP THE WINDOW AND HOLD A SECOND PAST THE TIME WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP. I HAD MULTIPLE LIGHTS WITHIN DASH LIGHT UP, THEN GO OFF (REALLY SCARY). HAPPENED TOO FAST TO TELL WHAT LIGHTS LIT UP. ADDITIONALLY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY OF MY FRIEND'S HOUSE. HE EVEN COMMENTED IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TURN, SO IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION. THIS EPISODE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE HAD DIED (BUT IT HAD NOT DONE SO). I HAVE READ WHERE THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF CHEVY TRUCKS, BUT FOUND NO RECALL INFORMATION ON MY VIN. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IF MY ELECTRONICS AND/OR MY STEERING GO OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WRECK, GM WILL HAVE MAJOR LEGAL ISSUES ON THEIR HANDS. I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG CHEVY OWNER AND ALWAYS KEEP MY VEHICLES IN TIP-TOP SHAPE. THEREFORE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVED BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.
