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.

PAINT IS FLAKING AWAY VERY EASILY
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, May 19, 2018
WHILE CONDUCTING LOW SPEED MANUVEURS RADIO AND DASH FLASHES OFF, THEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AND BRAKE ASSISTANCE. DASH AND RADIO TURN BACK ON AND WARNING MESSAGES STATING STABILITRAK DISABLED, STEERING ASSISTANCE REDUCED, 2 KEYS PROGRAMMED, OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVERS WINDOW, AND PARK ASSIST DISABLED ARE DISPLAYED. DEALERSHIP THINKS THIS COULD BE DUE TO CORROSION IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AT ANY SPEED IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING COMPLETELY DISABLING THE ENGINE, THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START AND SOMETIMES VEHICLE WON'T FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I WISH GM WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE ONLY OWNED FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED I BOUGHT IT FROM PHIL LONG FORD IN COLORADO SPRINGS, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY ISSUES WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THEY'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND I DON'T SEE THEM FINDING ANY ANSWERS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL SNATCHES AWAY FROM YOUR HAND. WHEN DOING SO, THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK, THEN THE STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND TWICE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. LUCKILY MY WIFE WAS TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT DID BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I OWE WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO TRADE IT IN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY TRIED REPROGRAMMING IT DUE TO A RECALL BUT THAT DID NOT FIX IT. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY REPLIED THAT IT WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 1 1/2 HOUR LABOR TO DIAGNOSE IT AND THAT IT $110 AN HOUR. I'VE NOTICED WHILE LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR MODEL TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET STATE THAT IT IS A GROUNDING PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

STEER ASSIST AND STABILITRAK ERRORR MESSAGES. SAYS TO SERVICE. MY A/C UNIT IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS. IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL #17276 BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER OUR VIN DID NOT PULL IT UP. THE VEHICLE PULLS AND STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT. A/C UNIT BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AND THE RPMS SHOOT UP. HAVE TO BREAK AND DECREASE SPEED FOR PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE RESETTING CRUISE CONTROL.

I HIT A POLE. HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF OF THE ROAD. BECAUSE THEY DEPLOYED I SUFFERED BRUISING. THEY DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I HAD THE MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTERWARDS.

A/C ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR, CANNOT DEFOG WINDOWS AT CERTAIN TIMES AND INCREASES THE LIKELY HOOD OF MY NEWBORN GETTING OVER HEATED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID IT IS THE NHTSA THAT WILL NOT DO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT DANGEROUS. WELL WE WILL SEE HOW DANGEROUS IT IS WHEN WE CANT SEE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DEFOG WINDOW OR WHAT THE HOSPITAL BILL WILL BE WHEN MY NEWBORN OVERHEATS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR AND BRACKET FOR THE HOSE. A 2014 SHOULD NOT NEED A $1600.00 REPAIR. THAT IS 3 MONTHS PAYMENTS FOR A A/C.

PAINT IS PEELING. STARTED OUT WITH A SMALL PIECE OF PAINT PEELING ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS EVENING I FOUND A MUCH LARGER PLACE MISSING PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014+ MODEL YEARS. IS ANYTHING BEING RESEARCHED OR DONE ABOUT THIS SO THAT GM IS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE? I EXPECT MORE FROM A $40K+ VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS. ONCE BY MYSELF AND THE SECOND WITH MY FOUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER FIRST INCIDENT PAID 300 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN THE SECOND TIME IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY FOUR YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2017 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING MINE ISN'T UNDER THAT RECALL AND REFUSING TO FIX IT. BOTH TIMES IT HAS HAPPEND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT AND THE TRUCK POWER SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP ANYTHING CONNECTED TO THE TRUCK. ( FOR EXAMPLE MY PHONE WAS CHARGING AND IT LOCKED UP MY PHONE AFTER IT DID THIS) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT GET THE CHEVY(GENERAL MOTORS) DEALERSHIP TO HELP ME. THEY ARE CLAIMING NOT TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL IN 2017 AT ALL. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT HAS DONE THIS TO ME NOW 2 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. BOTH TIMES IN VERY BUSY AREAS WHERE MY TRUCK STALLS AND LOOSES POWER STEERING.

HEATED SEATS WORKING TO MFG SPECS PER DEALER BUT NO HEAT CAN BE FELT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HEAR THIS COMPLAINT FROM MANY AND THAT IT IS A POOR DESIGN ON THE PART OF THE MFG. I LOOKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MESSAGE BOARDS TO FIND THIS ISSUE IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE BECAUSE SEATS ARE WORKING TO SPECS, WON'T GIVE ANY INFO FOR WHO ELSE TO CONTACT AT CHEVY TO ADDRESS THIS WIDESPREAD COMMON COMPLAINT. CHEVY REP SAYS THEY WILL NEED TO BE COMPELLED BY FEDERAL GOV TO ISSUE ANY RECALL AND WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS IT EVEN IF IT IS DETERMINED TO BE A POOR DESIGN. CONSUMERS PAID FOR HEATED SEATS THAT DUE TO A POOR DESIGN, DO NOT GET HOT, AND CHEVROLET IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BASED UPON SOCIAL MEDIA & MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE, THE COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE SPECIFIC TO THE HEATED & AIR CONDITIONED LEATHER BUCKET SEATS IN THE 2014 & 2015 SILVERADO AND LIKELY GMC SIERRA AS WELL. CHEVY APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY REDESIGNED THE SEATS FOR THE 16 AND NEWER MODELS AS THERE ARE FEW COMPLAINTS THAT I COULD FIND FOR THOSE MODEL YEARS. IT SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO 2 MODEL YEARS AND ONE TYPE OF SEAT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE CONTACTS AT CHEVROLET TO COMPEL THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS THE FEATURE THEY PAID FOR, HEATED SEATS THAT ACTUALLY GET WARM. MINE STAY COOL TO THE TOUCH ON MY 30 MILE, 45 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK DESPITE BEING TOLD THAT THEY ARE WORKING TO MFG SPEC. I HAVE HEATED SEATS IN BOTH MY CAMARO & IMPALA THAT HEAT UP NICELY IN JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT IN MY NEWER, TWICE AS EXPENSIVE, SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY. PLEASE COMPEL THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL OR MONETARY SETTLEMENT TO REIMBURSE FOR A FEATURE THAT DOES NOT PERFORM THE TASK ADVERTISED.

MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO IS AT A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE 4TH TIME DUE TO COMPLETE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE ISSUE STARTED DURING LOW SPEED SHARP TURNS BUT NOW IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. COMPLETE LOSS OF USE OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT COME BACK ON FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER THE OCCURRENCE. POWER STEERING RECALL HAS NOT RESOLVED IT, GROUND WIRE TIGHTENING HAS NOT RESOLVED AND MAIN BATTERY CABLE REPLACEMENT HAS NOT RESOLVED. DEALERSHIP RESPONSE IS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS CAUSED FROM. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING WILL CAUSE A SEVERE COLLISION AND NO RECALL OR RESOLUTION HAS BEEN CREATED BY GM.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AT LOW SPEEDS - FAULTY VACUUM PUMP VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE INTO A PARKING SPOT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT WITH INJURY BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH. NO INSURANCE CLAIMS WERE MADE. PARTS AND LABOR WAS 622.12 FOR THE VACUUM PUMP

BOUGHT A USED 2014 SILVERADO 1500 4X4 WITH 22K MILES AND ONE PREVIRUS OWNER. I HAD NO ISSUES AT FIRST BUT THE DEALER MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL GM HAD OUT WHERE THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE POWER STEERING TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE ISSUE OF POWER STEERING LOSS AT SLOW SPEEDS. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND HAD THE "REPROGRAM" DONE. AFTER THAT I STARTED HAVING A POPPING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED OR WHILE STATIONARY WHEN THE WHEEL WAS TURNED. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE POPPING STOPPED AND ONE EVENING I START MY TRUCK AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. THE NEXT DAY I START MY TRUCK AND THE POWER STEERING IS WORKING FINE. I RUN AN ERRAND AND AS I'M COMING HOME THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE I'M TURNING AT A SLOW SPEED ALSO NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK WITH ANOTHER CAR. DEALER WON'T ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BEING A PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE LIFT ON MY TRUCK AND THEN OVER QUOTED ME BY $500 FOR THE FIX ($2900 TOTAL AND $2200 FOR THE PART). JUST HAD A NEW RACK AND PINION INSTALLED FOR $2535.11 AND THE PART ALONE WAS $1859 FROM ANOTHER DEALER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PART HAS SINCE (THE RECALL) BEEN "REMANUFACTURED" WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT GM REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THEY FIXED IT QUIETLY ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE RATHER THAN MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS.

THE SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. REMOVING THE KEY AND OPENING THE DOOR RESET IT. THIS HAPPENED FRIDAY, MARCH 30TH. ON SUNDAY APRIL 1ST, A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED, EXCEPT THIS TIME, AFTER GETTING THE CAR STARTED I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL BRAKE/STEERING SUPPORT AND THEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF, LEAVING ME TO TRY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP MYSELF (WHICH THANKFULLY I DID). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING ON MONDAY, APRIL 2ND, AND THEY RAN TESTS AND FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN SAYING TO REPLACE THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND THE JUNCTION BOX. BEING A SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY THOUGH, IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $675. BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT CUTS ALL POWER WHILE SOMEONE IS DRIVING, I FEEL THIS TO BE UNFAIR.
