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, 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. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE STEERING LOCKED UP, JERKING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND REFERENCED A STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE. VERY SCARY CAUSING A TOTAL LACK OF CONTROL WITH STEERING. FOUND MANY EXAMPLES ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS, EVEN VIDEO EVIDENCE. TOOK TO CHEVY AND THEY "COULD NOT REPLICATE" SO NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I TRADED THE TRUCK FOR A NEW FORD. ODDLY ENOUGH MY NEIGHBOR NOTICED MY NEW TRUCK AND WE GOT TO TALKING. HIS 2014 GMC 1500 SIERRA HAS HAD THE SAW EXACT ISSUE. I CONTACTED GM WITH MY CONCERN WITH NO HELP AT ALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE MAKE GM FIX BEFORE FAMILIES HAVE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE ISSUE.

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.

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.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, I WENT TO TURN RIGHT. AS TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING APPEARED ON MY DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ITSELF AND FOUGHT AGAINST ME TURNING RIGHT. THE TRUCK WAS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL OUT AGAINST MY FORCE OF TURNING. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. THEN A FEW WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING MY DASH AND RADIO SCREENS KEPT FLICKERING ON AND OFF, EVERYTIME MAKING A LOUD CLICK SOUND. WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK PARKED, I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND IT FOUGHT AGAINST ME TRYING TO TURN IT. THE DASH READ SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ASSISTED POWER STEERING IS DISABLED. THE RADIO LOST ITS MEMORY AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. A THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE PARALLEL PARKING, BACKING UP AND TURNING THE WHEEL RIGHT, IT LOCKED AND FORCED ITSELF BACK LEFT. EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS IT IS MOVING SLOW OR JUST HAD FINISHED MOVING.

DURING THE COLLISION ON THE FRONT STRANGELY THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS IS ALL THAT DEPLOYED LEAVING DRIVER COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED!!! THE STEERING CAME BACK ON AFTER.
