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.

MY TRUCK TENDS TO MIMIC THE 19V761 RECALL OF 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE AND 3.08 REAR AXLE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS THE 4.3L ON OCCASION, MY TRUCK WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UNINTENTIONALLY DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING USED OUT OF MY CONTROL. I'M PARTICULARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE EVERY 2-3 SECONDS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE DEFECT ALSO HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHILE TRAVELING ABOVE 35 MPH AND DOWNHILL. MOST RECENTLY DURING A SNOW STORM IN 4WD. THE 'EPISODE' USUALLY LASTS UNTIL I RESTART THE VEHICLE. IF IT RESOLVES BEFORE I RESTART IT DOES SO VICIOUSLY, AND STEERING WHEEL CORRECTS ITSELF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I'VE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR VIN NUMBER.

FLEX FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION, CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND INABILITY TO REMOTE START CAR. VERIFIED WITH LOCAL THIRD-PARTY SHOP THAT NOTHING ELSE WOULD BE CAUSING THIS. DID NOT TAKE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS HAVE HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH INCORRECTLY FIXING A VOLUNTARY RECALL SO WE UTILIZED THE THIRD PARTY SHOP INSTEAD. LOCATED A GM SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN (#14289) FROM 2014 THAT INCLUDED OUR MAKE/MODEL REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, BUT THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BUT CHEVROLET CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED AND CANNOT LOOK UP THE SPECIFIC COVERAGE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT A YEAR, MAINLY IN THE WINTERTIME.

THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING ODDLY AND MORE SUDDEN THAN NORMAL AND WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER UNLESS THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED REALLY HARD. WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY (<60,000 MILES), THE DEALERSHIP, LAFFERTY CHEVY, INDICATED THE SHIFTING WAS A RESULT OF AN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT LEARNS MY DRIVING HABITS AND IT WAS NORMAL. NOW, THE PROBLEM IS WORSE 6 MONTHS LATER, AND THE CAR IS OUT OF POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY (65K MILES), AND THEY INSPECTED IT FURTHER AND HAVE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FULLY REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION AND POWER TRAIN MADE IT VERY SAFE TO DRIVE THESE PAST FEW MONTHS AND GM KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOT MUCH WORSE AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY.
