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.

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.

HAVING A BAD SHUTTER GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Apr 6, 2021
VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY FAIL DURING IGNITION, AND IT MAY FAIL IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHUTDOWN. THESE FAILURES ARE CATASTROPHIC. ALL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE FAIL AT ONCE. ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ASSISTANCE, ALL LIGHTS, HVAC, IGNITION, FUEL DELIVERY, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS DYSFUNCTION. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN AND DOES OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS. ASSOCIATED FAILURES INCLUDE VARIOUS DASH MODULES UNRESPONSIVE OR OFF INTERMITTENTLY, STABILITRAC SERVICE MESSAGE, ACTION NEEDED MESSAGE: ROLL DOWN THEN UP DRIVER WINDOW, EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING AND DIMMING, FROZEN OR GLITCHED OR OTHERWISE UNRESPONSIVE RADIO, STEERING WHEEL FORCEFULLY JERKING WITHOUT INPUT FROM DRIVER OR ROAD, 'TRACTION OFF' INDICATORS. ALL ISSUES ARE SPORADIC, CHRONIC, AND DEBILITATING. VEHICLE HAS DELIVERED STABILITRAK MESSAGES AND MOMENTARILY TRIPPED ALL ELECTRONICS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. NOT EVERY FAILURE IS COMPLETE, SOME GLITCHES IN THE ELECTRICAL MAY PERSISTENTLY OCCUR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THIS PUTS UN DUE STRAIN ON THE ATTENTION, MINDFULNESS, AND PEACE A DRIVER IS REASONABLY EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE IN ANY VEHICLE. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PRECURSOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE AND GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM ROADWAYS AND TRAFFIC.
Service brakes, Apr 6, 2021
MY VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT SEEM LISTED FOR RECALL GM NO. N192268490 OR WAS SERVICED. YET, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS AFTER SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE FOR PARKING, OR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. MUCH MORE PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO STOP AS IF LOSS OF POWER RESULTING IN MANUAL-ONLY BRAKING. THIS SEEMS TO GO AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. PRIOR TO RECALL, THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY RESULTED IN $3000 DAMAGE TO ANOTHER FAMILY VEHICLE PARKED ON OUR PRIVATE PROPERTY.

WHILE DRIVING, THE "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKES SYSTEM" KEPT COMING ON. THERE WAS A VISUAL AND AUDIO WARNING CHIME THAT WOULD NOT STOP. INSTEAD OF A SINGLE NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER, THE INTERMITTENT CONNECTION WOULD RESULT IN THE ERROR MESSAGE CONTINUOUSLY RE-APPEARING AND CHIMING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND COULD INCREASE RISK OF CRASH. I REMOVED THE BRAKE GAIN CONTROLLER FROM THE DASH AND FOUND CORROSION ON AN ELECTRICAL CONTACT STRIP. AFTER CLEANING IT WITH ELECTRONICS CLEANER, THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY VEHICLE. TURNS OUT IT IS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED SO NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS GOING ON , BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL. THAT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PEICE FOR IT TO GIVE OUT JUST LIKE THAT. IN ALL HONESTY HAS TO BE THE WORST MODEL OF CHEVY I HAVE OWNED. SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM IN A NEWER VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED THE MECHANICS DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
Steering, Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Mar 18, 2021
THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN MOTION AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN ONTO A STREET, OR INTO A PARKING LOT, A WARNING FOR SERVICE STABILITRAK WILL COME ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP, THE A/C WILL TURN OFF, THE LCD RADIO DISPLAY WILL GO BLANK, AND MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND OR TURN OFF. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2-3 ACCIDENTS SO FAR... ALSO WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IF I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND I PUT ON MY TURN SIGNAL IT WILL TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND FLICKER MY RADIO LCD DISPLAY, AND ALSO CAUSE A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING. SOMETIMES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER, OR TURN OFF. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL FOR OTHER SILVERADO'S WITH THESE SAME ISSUES, BUT THERE ISN'T ONE CURRENTLY UNDER MY VIN NUMBER, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AROUND 88,000 MILES
Power train, Electrical system, Mar 15, 2021
CODE P2138. TRUCK GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHEN PEDAL HARNESS SENSOR GETS WET. (I.E. DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN). POWER AND TRANSMISSION REDUCE SPEED TO LESS THAN 45MPH. WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR HIGHER THAN 2ND. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE AT DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER AND LIMP 1 MILE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE.
Steering, Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Mar 10, 2021
LONG STORY SHORT. THIS IS A WEEKLY ISSUE THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS TRUCK. LAST YEAR ABOUT 5/2020 I TOOK IT ON A 6 HOUR-ROUND TRIP DRIVE. THE HIGHWAY IS 70 MILES PER HOUR. ABOUT MIDWAY BACK HOME THE TRUCK JERKED HARD AND SHUT OFF FOR A SECOND AND TURNED BACK ON. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH! I PULLED OVER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS STILL "OKAY" TO DRIVE HOME FOR THE NEXT 2 HOURS. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT, THAT DID NOT RESULT INTO A SERIOUS COLLISION. I HAD A FULL TRUCK OF PEOPLE INCLUDING A CHILD ALONG WITH A 4X4 IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE "STABILITRACK" ALERT ALWAYS COMING ON EVERY SECOND. ANOTHER OCCASION I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN HALF-WAY THROUGH THE ENTRANCE WAY, THE TRUCK SHUT OFF, COMPLETELY. NONE OF THE LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN ON FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES. I WAS BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT. THEN JUST RECENTLY I NOTICE THAT MY LIGHTS, ALL LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL OR WHEN I STEP ON THE BREAK AND GAS PEDALS. IF I DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH ALL SOUND IS OFF EVEN THOUGH THE VOLUME IS UP. THEN WHEN I NEED TO MAKE ANY TURN, ANY DIRECTION, THE WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL THEN IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A SERIOUS COLLISON DUE TO THIS. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF THIS TRUCK IS THE REASON WE GET INJURED, I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH MY CONCERNS BUT THE DIAGNOSTICS NEVER BRING UP AN ISSUE.

THE TRUCK IS JUMPING RPMS I'VE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND EVEN SWITCHED OUT PARTS OUT. I WAS TOLD TOLD IT COULD BE 4CYL TO 8CYL ADAPTING NOW I'M BEING TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAULTY .. THE TRUCK GETS STUCK AT A STOP LIGHT OR FEELS LIKE A HARD PULL WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND SOMETIMES EVEN MAKES A CLUNK NOISE.

HAPPENS 3-4 A WEEK WHEN DRIVING: I TURN TURN SIGNAL ON AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER TRUCK FEELS LIKE LOSSES POWER, IF MAKING A U-TURN STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD AND TRUCK FEELS LIKE STALLING OUT. ON HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHED TWICE AND TRUCK FELT SLUGGISH VERY BRIEF. WHEN EXITING HIGHWAY AND TURNING ONTO CITY STREET AT 30MPH VERY BRIEFLY THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND STEERING WAS LIKE STUCK, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT, TRUCK FELT LIKE IT TURNED OFF AND ON AND JOLTED FORWARD VERY HARD AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND TRUCK STALLED BRIEFLY AGAIN WHILE TURNING AT 15MPH, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND POWER STEERING LOST, TRUCK WENT BACK TO NORMAL ON ITS OWN.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO I BOUGHT APR 2020. THE FIRST TIME WAS SEP 2020 AND DIAGNOSIS FROM THE MECHANIC SHOWED NOTHING FOUND. ONLY SHOWED ERROR CODE THAT COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMPUTER WAS LOST. CODE WAS CLEARED AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN UNTIL 2 MAR 2021. UPON INITIAL IGNITION, THE MESSAGE WINDOW READ "ACTION NEEDED. ROLL DRIVER WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, I DID THIS AND THEN IT WENT AWAY. AFTER DRIVING ON A FLAT, PAVED, DRY ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY TRUCK DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT SAID "STABILITY CONTROL", THE ENGINE REVED, RPMS SHOT UP TO 5K AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKER SEVERAL TIMES, RADIO TURNED OFF AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. A SHORT TIME LATER AT A LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN, THE RADIO AND CLUSTER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DIED. I PUT IT IN PARK, AND IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN (STARTED AGAIN AS WELL). THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED, THE TRUCK CAME BACK ON WITHOUT ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN MINUTES OF THE SECOND TIME AND I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS TIME, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED (NO ELECTRICITY, NO ABILITY TO USE BLINKERS, HAZARDS, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES ECT. COMPLETE OUTAGE. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF IT NOT COMING ON OR STARTING, I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT AND WHILE ON THE PHONE (APPROX 30 MINUTES, IT CAME BACK TO LIFE ON ITS OWN (RADIO, INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON) AND IT STARTED. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME, AND AT ONE LIGHT, IT DIED AGAIN BUT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE OF THE DOZENS OF CASES OF THE SAME ISSUES (SOME OF WHICH VEHICLES DIED WHILE AT DRIVING SPEEDS) WITH SIMILAR YEAR AND MODEL GM VEHICLES ON FORUMS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION BY GM AND NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED.
