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.

VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AT 25 MPH AND AGAIN AT 45 MPH. ONLY SEEMS TO AFFECT VEHICLE IN 4 CYLINDER MODE. LOTS OF INTERNET RESEARCH HAS FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVY SILVERADO 1500'S AS IT IS IN MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH A COMPLAINT AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME CASE # 8-2286316021. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX ESTABLISHED AS OF YET. BUT, MY CONCERN IS WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW, ICE OR WET ROADS, THE VIBRATION COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH TRACTION. IF IT VIBRATES WHILE ON SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS THEN THE TRACTION IS REDUCED CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN.

I WAS HAVING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IN TRAFFIC AFTER HITTING MY BREAKS MANY TIMES I NOTICED MY DASH LIGHTS GO DIM, THE RADIO WOULD CUT OUT ONCE IN A WHILE AND MY GAUGE CLUSTER WOULD RESET JUST LIKE IT LOOKS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN APPROX.30 MIN. I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, A CAR WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY WHEN AND I HIT MY BREAKS THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A RETAINING WALL. EVERYTHING WAS DINGING THE ABS AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE WORD STABILITAC WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CENTER DASH. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND OFFERED NO REAL EXPLANATION FOR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. NOW HERE WE ARE A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE MY EXIT FOR WORK. WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS THE LIGHTS GO DIM IN THE TRUCK, THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE ABS AND OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THINGS ARE DINGING AND STABILITRAC IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH. WHEN I STARTED INTO MY TURN THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY MANY TIMES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE OFF RAMP. IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I RELUCTANTLY CONTINUED ON TO WORK AS IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. ONE OF THEM I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON VIDEO. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE FIRST ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR AS IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF GM DOESN'T FIX IT.

VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. IT IS ESPECIALLY STRONG AT APPROXIMATELY 74 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, MATCH BALANCED THE TIRES THREE TIMES, AND TURNED THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE VIBRATION IS DUE TO THE NEW SUSPENSION DESIGN. I FOUND A GM BULLETIN, #PI1354C, THAT OUTLINES A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW IT.

AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED, THE VEHICLE STARTED GIVING "STABILTRAK SERVICE REQUIRED" "REDUCED POWER TO STEERING" WARNINGS. AT THESE TIMES AND INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARDS, THESE WOULD APPEAR AND THE STEERING WOULD THEN RESPOND AS IF THE ENGINE WERE NOT RUNNING WHILE UNDERWAY. THIS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL PARKING LOTS REQUIRING CLOSE MANEUVERING AS WELL AS ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ENDANGERING MY FAMILY, MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE POSITIVE ENGINE LEAD, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE. THE SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN AGAIN AND NOW I AM BEING INFORMED THERE ARE NOW MULTIPLE LOW VOLTAGE CODES DUE TO THIS SHORT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AMONG MANY WHO OWN THIS TRUCK. IT WOULD APPEAR THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON APPROX. JUNE 20TH AND CONTINUED UNTIL "REPAIRED" JUNE

I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FIRST I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT AND MY SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME ON, AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED JERKING LEFT AND RIGHT ON ITS OWN. 2ND TIME I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY AND WARNING CAME ON WHILE TURNING CAUSING TRUCK TO JERK AND I ALMOST HIT THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE. A 3RD TIME HAPPENED AGAIN REVERSING BUT THIS TIME MY HEADLIGHTS DIMMED AND I HAD MULTIPLE SERVICE WARNINGS POP UP. A 4TH TIME I WAS AGAIN ABOUT TO REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND WHILE IN REVERSE AND FOOT ON BRAKE, I WOULD TURN STEERING WHEEL AND IT WOULD JERK BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I TOOK VIDEO OF THAT ACCURANCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY NIGHT. I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS KEPT GOING DIM THEN BRIGHT. WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL GOING 75MPH I MOVED LEFT TO PASS A VEHICLE, WHEN I TURNED RIGHT SIGNAL ON TO COME BACK TO LANE MY CRUISE DISENGAGED. THIS HAPPEND 5 TIMES. BEFORE ONE OF THE OCCURRENCES WHILE IN CRUISE I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, AND MY VOLT GAUGE DROPPED TO 10 OR SO AND THE HEADLIGHTS ALMLST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS IN CAB FLIKERED ON AND OFF. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF BUT DIDN'T.

**STABILITRAK** WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE RADIO BLINKED OFF. THEN WHEN I ACTIVATED THE TURN SIGNALS THE RADIO BLINKED OFF. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AS WELL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO MY DEVELOPMENT THE TRUCK SHUT OFF, WHEEL WHIPPED HARD AND LOCKED WHILE MAKING THAT LEFT HAND TURN. THIS FORCED THE TRUCK INTO THE GRASS COMING WITHIN FEET OF A TREE. SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING APPEARED ON DASH. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BACKED OUT OF GRASS AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AT HOME.

PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE RADIO DISPLAY BLINKING OFF WHEN I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL OR ACTIVATED TURN SIGNALS. THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE, BUT DID NOT THINK OF IT AS A SAFETY CONCERN. I THEN GOT STUCK IN A LITTLE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED WHILE HOLDING THE BRAKE ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND JUST ACTING STRANGE ALL TOGETHER. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING APPROX 30 MPH WHEN THE RADIO BLINKED OFF THE DOORS LOCKED, UNLOCKED THEN LOCKED AGAIN. A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH SOMETHING STABILITRAK THEN STARTED SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD AGAIN. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO WHERE SAFELY TO PULL OVER. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY [XXX] OLD CHILD AND HAD SOME SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS AT THIS POINT. NO MORE THAN A MILE LATER, WHILE IN THE SAME STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND APPLY THE BRAKES, THE RADIO BLINKED OFF AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 30-35 MPH IN TRAFFIC WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRUCK TO NEUTRAL TO START THE TRUCK AND CONTINUE TO THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE TRUCK STARTED TO SPUTTER OUT ALMOST TO A STALL AND QUICKLY FLASHING A STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND THE DASH BLINKING OFF, UNTIL I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I CALLED TO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER COME PICK MY CHILD UP AS I HAD SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS OF MY CHILD BEING IN THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO MY APPOINTMENT WHICH INVOLVED ACCESSING THE TURNPIKE THROUGH TOLL BOOTHS. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO ENTER THE TOLL PLAZA THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING RADIO BLINKED OFF, DASH DISPLAYS BLINKED OFF, SPUTTERING THE STEERING WHEEL AT THIS POINT RIPPED OUT OF MY HAND ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION, STABILITRAK MESSAGE APPEARING. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROX 2 HOURS. MY RETURN TRIP WAS NORMAL AND DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THIS TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP WITH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING.
