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.

PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL 17276 LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST -- MY TRUCK IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL, BUT I AM HAVING THE EXACT ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, SUDDEN LOSS AND RETURN OF EPS ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING OR BACKING, BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE MOTIONS. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTTING OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN INDICATOR TO CHANGE LANES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THIS RECALL, AS THE ELECTRICAL SOFTWARE ISSUES CAN CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO BECOME TEMPORARILY DISABLED, SUCH AS THE RADIO, STABILITRACK, DIC, CHIMES, DOOR-LOCK CYCLING, AIR CONDITIONING, OR CRUISE CONTROL. ALSO, WHEN THE TURN INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER ONCE TO FIX THIS, AND THEY REFUSED TO RUN THE RECALL BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS NOT IN THE RECALL GROUP. INSTEAD THEY CHARGED ME OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE A STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR, WHICH I NOW DOUBT WAS THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND DISABLING OF CRUISE CONTROL HAVE RETURNED. I JUST WANT THIS FIXED.

AIR CONDITIONING-GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM OF THERE AIR CONDITIONERS IN MY TRUCK AS WELL AS MANY OTHER TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE. HOWEVER THEY DO NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BE DONE AND MANY PEOPLE AGREE ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE PART WHICH IS THE CONDINSER IS A CRITICAL PART IN THE AIR CONDITION SYSTEM

VECHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING
Service brakes, Aug 20, 2018
BRAKES ON MY TRUCK HAVE FAILED AT LOW SPEED WHILE PARKING. AFTER ONLY 3-4 TIMES OF LIGHTLY PUMPING THE BRAKES THEY COMPLETELY GO HARD AND THE PEDDLE WILL NOT MOVE. NO MATTER WHAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IN REVERSE THE MOST. BRAKE PADS, FLUIDS, ETC ARE ALL PERFECT. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AT ALL WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED. ONLY OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT'S PROBABLY THE VACUUM FAILING... HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON TRUCKS

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WHILE TURN ITSELF OFF WITH NO EXPLANATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. IT HAS INCREASED SINCE I GOT THE LAST RECALL DONE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS TURNING ACROSS LANES AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF AND HAS TO BE RESTATED BY TURNING THE KEY.

WHEN I AM BRAKING FREQUENTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS (EXAMPLE: IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU) MY BRAKES GET HARDER AND HARDER TO PRESS UNTIL EVENTUALLY I CANNOT PRESS THEM AT ALL. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND CRANK IT AGAIN. ONLY THEN DOES IT WORK. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE COMES RIGHT BACK. APPARENTLY, MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING IT. THIS COULD BE DEADLY. OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. TSB #PIT5361B

LOSS OF BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP DUE TO FAULTY VACUUM PUMP. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND GM HAS EVEN REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PART NUMBER WITH A NEW UPDATED UNIT BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE OLD FAULTY ONES. IF THIS WASN'T A FAULTY PART THEN WHY REPLACE IT WITH AN "UPDATED" ONE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED OR KILLED.

WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CAR HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES SO IT WOULDN'T HIT ME. THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND SLIPPING ON MY 30 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 81. ON THE WAY HOME IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AND MAKING AN AWFUL HUMMING SOUND OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GMC AND CHEVY 1500 TRUCKS FROM 2014 TO 2017. I CHECK THE FLUIDS EVERY WEEK AND THERE ARE ALWAYS GOOD. IT JUST SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IF EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

MY SILVERADO FREQUENTLY "SHUTS OFF" WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - THE LATEST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS TURN OFF. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAID THEY HAVE "FIXED IT". I KEEP BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK TO THEM, BUT THEY WON'T ATTEMPT TO FIX IT AGAIN CITING LEMON LAWS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE TRUCK TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND AT THIS POINT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AS I DRIVE.
