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.

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. WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH THE HAZARDS ON THE DASH, CONTROLS AND A/C INTERMITTENTLY FLICKED FOR A FULL 2 MINUTES
Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jun 28, 2020
HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, TURNING, AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY LOSES POWER AND POWER STEERING. THE STABILITRACK AND STEERING ASSIST INDICATORS APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. SOMETIMES THE POWER RETURNS, OTHER TIMES I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, REPOSITION KEY, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND MY VIN DID NOT MATCH ANY RECALLS. THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BATTERY. I REPLACED THE GOOD BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY, AND STILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. THIS OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, AND HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR AT LEAST A YEAR..

COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH , AS I WAS PULLING IN TO A GAS STATION SLOWLY MY STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY STIFF AS IF I HAD NO POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ,RADIO SHUT OFF ,A/C SHUT OFF ,AND STABILITY TRAC WAS DISABLED ALL FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS PULLING OFF FROM THE GAS STATION VERY SLOWLY AND THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING.IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO START UP JUST FINE RIGHT AFTER AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO NOT SURE IF THIS IS A RELATED PROBLEM BUT WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS DIM WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES OR TURN THE WHEEL,I CAN SEE THE VOLTAGE METER RAISE AND DROP WHEN THIS HAPPENS.YES I'VE HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CHECKED AND THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM EITHER. *TR

Steering, Jun 19, 2020, crash
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT MY DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY TRUCK SCRAPED INTO A POST DAMAGING THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE FRONT PANEL. THIS ONLY LASTED FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, BUT IT WAS BAD ENOUGH. UPON CHECKING THE CARFAX, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR AND SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO CHECK IF ANY RECALLS WAS REPORTED ON THIS VEHICLE. NOW MY TRUCK IS DAMAGED AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE. I HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE REPORTED THEM TO THE BBB. WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OUT OF THIS IF ANYTHING.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRUCK TURNED OFF AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE DISABLED. HAZARD LIGHTS WERE OFF AND ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT INCLUDING DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK WERE DISABLED. ELECTRIC STEERING TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A DEADLY MALFUNCTION AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. *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
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, May 27, 2020
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES EVEN RESTARTS, TENDS TO HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS. CHEVROLET ( GM) HAS DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS HAPPENS, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE 1100 PLUS GOOGLE PAGES ABOUT IT. *TR
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, May 26, 2020
WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AFTER PUTTING THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTARTING, IT DROVE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. 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
Steering, May 20, 2020
RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED SOME STIFFNESS IN MY STEERING. IT'S ONLY TEMPORARILY WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME BUT REGAINS CONTROL IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A TURN COMING OUT OF A PARKING ZONE OR TURNING FROM A STOP. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT THIS HAPPENING AT HIGH SPEEDS OR FREEWAY. ALONG WITH THE STEERING ISSUE I NOTICED MY RADIO WILL NOT COME ON WHEN I TURN MY TRUCK ON I HAVE TO TURN TRUCK OFF A COUPLE TIMES AND BACK ON AND IT'LL COME ON. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED OR IF IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE BUT BOTH ISSUES BEGAN AROUND THE SAME TIME. *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.
