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.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ( IN MOTION) THE DOOR LOCKS BEGIN TO ACTIVATE UNCONTROLLABLY, THE POWER WILL DROP OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE MUST BE PUT IN PARK AND THEN CHANGED INTO DRIVE AGAIN BEFORE IT WILL MOVE; MAY TAKE MORE THAN OCEAN. NO WARNING PRIOR TO ISSUE STARTING AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. *TR

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.

I PULLED INTO A DRIVE THRU TRAVELING STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE I HEARD AN ODD CLICKING NOISE AND HAD A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL. THE NOISE I FOUND OUT LATER WAS THE ABS SYSTEM DOING IT'S JOB BECAUSE OF MY HARD BRAKING. I DID GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEFORE HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE HARD BRAKE CONTINUED AS I MOVED THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU LINE. ONCE I PULLED OUT ON TO THE ROAD THE AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN THEY APPEARED TO WORK PROPERLY. I PULLED INTO AN OPEN LOT AND TRIED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES AT LOW SPEED AND THE HARD BRAKE CONDITION CONTINUED. MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED OVER 70,000 MILES AND HAD THE RECALL N192268490 TO RECALIBRATE THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FOR HARD BRAKING ON 3/4/2020. IT'S APPARENT THAT THE FIX GM IS DOING FOR THE HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING IS NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IF I HAD BEEN CARRYING ANY WEIGHT OR A TRAILER WITH MY TRUCK I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. I AM GOING TO BE REPLACING THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WHICH I BELIEVE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. *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.

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON APRIL 14, 2020 FOR AN OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, ETC. AND THE WORK WAS ALSO PERFORMED FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM PRIOR TO THIS DATE - NO INCREASED PRESSURE, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. AFTER THIS DATE I NOTICED MY BRAKES SKIPPING WHILE IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE. I LIVE AT THE TOP OF A HILL AND MY DRIVEWAY IS ALSO A HILL, SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. HOWEVER, I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A SLIGHTLY INCLINED PARKING SPOT AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT AND PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL NOT STOPPING. I MANAGED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GET THE CAR INTO DRIVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR BEHIND ME IN THE PARKING LOT. LATER THAT SAME DAY I WHEN REVERSING OUT OF ANOTHER SLIGHTLY INCLINED PARKING SPOT HAD TO FULLY USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL DUE TO SO MUCH PRESSURE. I TOOK MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT THAT DAY, BUT THAT I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND BRING IT BACK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK OFF THEIR LOT AND AM APPALLED THAT IT WOULD EVEN BE SUGGESTED AFTER HEARING THAT THE BRAKES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AT LUNCH TIME AFTER I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE BRAKE PUMP AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. I WAS AGAIN TOLD I COULD COME GET MY TRUCK AND DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART CAME IN (BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I WASN'T PAYING FOR THEIR LOANER CAR I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING THAT THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR). I TOLD THE MAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HE'S CRAZY IF HE THINKS I'M GOING TO COME GET A TRUCK WHERE THE BRAKES MAY NOT WORK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE VEHICLE DAMAGE IF NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

THE VACUUM PUMP HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE, PRODUCING NO VACUUM PRESSURE TO THE BREAK ASSIST. THE RECALL SUGGESTING THE RECALIBRATION OF THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL HAD BEEN COMPLETED MONTHS PRIOR. THIS RESULTED IN SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, VIBRATION IN THE BREAK AND A HARD BRAKE PEDAL. ONCE IT COMPLETELY FAILED, THE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND STOPPING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. INITIALLY, THE PEDAL VIBRATION WAS NOTICED AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WHEN THE PUMP FAILED, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN OFF RAMP COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN.

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.

THE AC CONDENSER IN THIS TRUCK FAILED RIGHT AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED, LIKE IN MANY OTHER GM TRUCKS IN THE YEARS 2014-17. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH IT IS KNOWN TO BE A POORLY WELDED AC CONDENSER WHICH DESTINE TO FAIL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES LOSING AC. WITHOUT PROPER FUNCTIONING AC, I CAN NOT FILTER AIR COMING IN THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A NECESSITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T FILTER OUT FIRE SMOKE WHICH IS ABUNDANT IN CA EVERY FIRE SEASON, VEHICLE WINDOWS MUST BE UP AND N95 MASKS ARE REQUIRED WHEN EXPOSED TO THE SMOKE.

I CAN'T FILTER OUT ANYTHING IN THE AIR THAT REQUIRES ME TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS; SMOG, EXHAUST FORM A CLOSE VEHICLE, ETC...
