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.

LOSS OF STEERING; STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP AND JERKING OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE MAKING A TURN. HEADLIGHTS AC AND RADIO CUTTING OFF. MULTIPLE WARNINGS INCLUDING STABILITRAC AND POWER STEERING ASSIST. ENGINE FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AND TURNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID THAT IT FRIED MY BATTERY AND CABLES AND FUSE BUT THEYDONT KNOW THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS IS ALMOST $700 OUT OF POCKET WITH NO GARUNTEE PROBLEM SOLVED. MY TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LT 1500. WHEN PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING, EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE HAPPENED AND THANKFULLY IT RECIPROCATED WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED IT. IT THREW OFF TEN DIFFERENT CODES .
Steering, Electrical system, Apr 30, 2019
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS DUE TO VOLTAGE ISSUES. THE RECALL AND SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS FROM THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS I WILL TEMPORARILY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I AM IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AT LOW SPEEDS 5-10 MPH, AND WHEN I AM TURNING. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING FOR A SECOND OR SO AND THEN COMES RIGHT BACK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING AS IF THERE IS A LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE. THE VOLTAGE METER HAS BEEN IN THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE, AND I HAVE HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS WHEN THESE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY 4/30/19 WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT.

APPROX. 1 WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, STABILITRAK ERROR POPS UP ON SCREEN AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND ENGAGED, STABILITRAK ERROR DISPLAYS AGAIN. INITIATED MY TURN SIGNAL TO SIGNAL LANE CHANGE WHICH DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON BUT NOT ENGAGED, THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED ON IT'S OWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV AS AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT MIGHT BE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY AND FUSE BLOCK AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME $768 BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS LIKELY JUST THE STARTING POINT. HAD THE RECALL DONE BACK IN AUGUST OF 2018 FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING (WHERE THEY SIMPLY ERASED THE SOFTWARE AND LOADED NEW SOFTWARE) SO THE DEALERSHIP TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE THEFT DETERRENT WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED "PLEASE ROLL DOWN DRIVER WINDOW". THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FLUCTUATED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. HUDIBURG CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 6000 TINKER DIAGONAL, MIDWEST CITY, OK 73110, (844) 362-3330) WAS CALLED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

MILEAGE: APPROX. 43600 TWICE THIS PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING, BOTH ON WEDNESDAY, THE ELECTRONICS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN 'NO ENGINE, NO STEERING, NO NOTHING'! ELECTRONICS RETURNED MUCH LIKE THERE WAS AN 'AUTO-RESET' BREAKER. ON FRIDAY MORNING BRIEFLY WOULD NOT START AND SIGNALED A PERIMETER READING. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME ON BOTH OCCURRENCES AND CONTINUED THE ISSUE WITH CLIFF WHEN THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED WITHOUT A REPAIR OF THE ISSUE. HER POINT WAS SIMPLE, THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. UPON RETURNING HOME SUSAN RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WAS MENTIONED WITH ONLY TWO MENTIONS OF POTENTIAL REPAIRS THAT MADE LITTLE SENSE; I.E., A FLY WHEEL SENSOR, THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE ASSEMBLY, A REPAIR OF G218 GROUND, ETC .
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 17, 2019
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED 3 MO AGO, FROM A DEALER WITH ~101,000 MI ON IT. IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AFFECTING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS. INITIALLY, THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED THE STABILITRACK AND POWER STEERING DASH WARNINGS ALARMING, WITH A SLIGHT CHANGE IN RESPONSIVENESS OF THE STEERING. IT HAS PROGRESSED TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER (DASH, AC, RADIO, EVERYTHING GOES OUT, LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERIN, AND 2/3 TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE REQUIRING BEING RESTARTED MANUALLY (ENGINE HAD ALSO SHUT DOWN). TYPICALLY AFTER THE ELECTRICAL FLICKER EITHER THE STABILITRACK, THE POWER STEERING OR BOTH MESSAGES WITH ALARM. THIS HAS GENERALLY HAPPENED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 MPH AND 5 MPH, BUT IT NEXT ORIGINATES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED. 2 OF THE 3 TIMES ALSO INCLUDED STOPPING WITH A GENTLE TURN, AS APPROACHING A STOP, FROM WHICH I WOULD THEN TURN. ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL FLICKERS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CAPTURE A PICTURE AS THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WARNING INDICATOR TURNS OFF AFTER 3-5 SECONDS.
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Apr 4, 2019
ON 4/2/2019 WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH, SLOWED TO MAKE LEFT TURN. WHILE MIDWAY THROUGH INTERSECTION, ENGINE DIED, DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES GONE. WITHIN SECONDS EVERYTHING POWERED BACK UP AND ENGINE RESUMED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. WARNING INDICATORS WORDS FLASHED BRIEFLY. I CAUGHT "STABILITRACK". I DROVE FOR ANOTHER MILE AND AS I WAS ENTERING DRIVEWAY ABOUT 5 MPH AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, ENGINE AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED AGAIN. PRIOR TO ALL THIS HEADLIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND THERE WAS A LITTLE DEADENING IN THE POWER STEERING. TRUCK HAD 72,950 MILES. I CHECKED THE GROUNDING POINTS AND CLEARED OUT THE DEADENING MATERIAL THAT SLIGHTLY IMPEDED IT. NOT SURE THIS WILL HELP. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON 6/22/18 AT 64,888 MILES, I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AT THAT TIME TOOK IT IN TO SHOP. THEY TIGHTENED THE GROUNDING BOLTS (G218) AND CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS. I GUESS IT HELPED UNTIL RECENTLY. IT COST $180.

VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST, POWER STEERING FAILS AT LOW SPEED TURNS. THEN, THE CAR OCCASIONALLY LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER (SCREENS, GAUGES, LIGHTS, STARTER, GARAGE DOOR OPENER) WHILE PARKED AND OFF. THEN LAST WEEK, IT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AT 70+ MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. LOST POWER STEERING, ALL SCREENS TURNED OFF, GAUGES WHEN TO ZERO, ETC. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. MANY WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, PARKING ASSIST DISABLED. THIS ALSO GAVE A 4WD SERVICE WARNING. NOW, I GET THE SERVICE 4WD WARNING EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT GO INTO 4 WD.

CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF WHEN USING TURNING SIGNAL OR ROLLING UP WINDOWS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN BUSY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. SERVICE STABLI TRACK AND STEERING ASSIST REDUCED WILL COME UP ON DISPLAY. POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN TURNING. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN TURNING SIGNALS ARE USED. TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND WHILE DRIVING THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON, COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN KNOB FOR HEADLIGHTS IS TURNED FROM AUTO TO ON POSITION THE DASH AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GETS DIM AND STABLI TRACK AND REDUCED STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE COMES ON. REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK USING FOB, SOMETIMES I WILL HAVE TO HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE DOOR WILL UNLOCK AFTER LOCK HAS BEEN MANUALLY PUSHED DOWN. PASSENGER SEAT BELT DING IS ALSO INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. MY TRUCK JUST NOW STARTED HAVING ALL OF THESE ISSUES AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. WE DROVE FROM TEXAS TO KENTUCKY AND BACK TO TEXAS AND THESE ISSUES ALL STARTED DURING THIS TRIP. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY, I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVROLET AND CURRENTLY OWN THIS TRUCK AND A TAHOE BUT THEY MAY BE MY LAST. ALL BULBS ARE GOOD, ALL FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD. TRUCK NOW HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AROUND 59000 MILES. SEEMS TO BE A WIRING OR ECM (COMPUTER) ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE BUT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR MY VIN NUMBER.

: THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM TEMPORARILY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING DURING OPERATION, CAUSING THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO FLUCTUATE DRAMATICALLY DURING THE MANEUVER AS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM CYCLES ON AND OFF. THE ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT DURING LOW-SPEED MANEUVERS AND CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE FAILURE OF OTHER SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE RADIO, STABILITY CONTROL, DOOR-LOCK CYCLING, AIR CONDITION OR CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WHEN I'M PARKING OR MAKING A TURN. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE IN MID TURN AS I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK.

Steering, Electrical system, Oct 24, 2018, crash
THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED. THE DRIVER IS UNCLEAR IF THE BREAKS WORKED OR NOT, BUT HE ENDED UP STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL ACCIDENTALLY. HE HIT A TREE HEAD ON AND TOTALED THE TRUCK. HE NOTICED THE AUDIO SYSTEM LOST THE SIGNAL FROM HIS IPHONE AND BEGAN PLAYING THE LOCAL RADIO STATION AT THE SAME TIME. THE IPHONE WAS CONNECTED VIA AN AUXILIARY CORD. THE DRIVER IS FAMILIAR WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND IS QUITE SURE THE STEERING LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE MOVED EVEN WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT. THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE AND IS LUCKY TO HAVE ONLY MINOR INJURIES. PRIOR TO THIS, RECALL #17276 WAS COMPLETED ON THE TRUCK, BUT AFTER THAT IT DID HAVE AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WENT HAYWIRE, BLINKING & BEEPING & TURNING ON & OFF, THEN EVERYTHING WENT DEAD, INCLUDING THE STEERING. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY & FOUND NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WE KEPT THE BATTERY THEY REPLACED, HAD IT TESTED & IT WAS FOUND TO BE FINE. THE DEALERSHIP REFUNDED THE COST OF THE NEW BATTERY, BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
