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.

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.

Steering, Electrical system, Service brakes, Dec 9, 2015, crash
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO, I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND I SUDDENLY LOST LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. WITHIN A 2-3 SECONDS THE CLUSTER AND RADIO WENT DEAD AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE LOGS SHOWED 1 1/2 PAGES OF VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS ERRORS INCLUDING LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO STEERING, LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO BRAKES, ETC. AFTER 8 DAYS OF ANALYSIS, THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM AND THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE PI NUMBER FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO KNOWN RESOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. BECAUSE THERE IS NO KNOWN SOLUTION, THEY ASKED ME TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING IT AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME WHEN A SOLUTION IS FOUND. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL KILL MYSELF, A FAMILY MEMBER OF ANOTHER DRIVER THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER SUGGESTIONS. I ESCALATED TO GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE, IT WAS COMPLETELY SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALED MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE AND WHO WERE TOLD TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ONE EVEN STATED THAT THEY HIT A PEDESTRIAN AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS THE DRIVER CAN LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED.

FIRE AND DEATH HAZARD . STRONG UNBEARABLE TOXIC SMELL ENTERING UP INTO CAB.
Exterior lighting, Oct 26, 2015
THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAZARD. THE LOW BEAM SETTING IS EXTREMELY DIM AND WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET OR AT DAWN/DUSK IT FEELS THAT YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS ON. THE HIGH BEAMS PROJECT WELL, BUT DISPERSE QUICKLY. I HAVE OWNED A 1987 GMC SIERRA, A 2000 CHEVROLET 1500, AND A 2002 GMC SIERRA ALL OF WHICH HAD PERFECT ILLUMINATION SYSTEMS. GM OUTFITTED THE 2014 WITH A SAFETY HAZARD. MOST OF MY DRIVING OCCURS IN THE ARCTIC, WHICH 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR IS PRACTICALLY DARK MOST OF THE DAY. I HAVE ALMOST HIT 3 MOOSE THIS MONTH BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD UNDER HIGH BEAM OR LOW BEAM. I AM UPGRADING MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE COST OF $450.00 BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE ON OUR REMOTE ROADS IN ALASKA. I LOVE THE TRUCK IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT, BUT THE STOCK HEADLIGHTS ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THANKS.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ESTABLISHED, MEASUREABLE AND DOCUMENTED VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY INCREASES & DECREASES IN APPLITUDE & FREQUENCY AT ALL SPEEDS. GM IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE AFTER 12 DEALER ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS, INCLUDING MULTIPLE SETS OF TIRES, REAR DIFFERENTIAL, DRIVE SHAFTS AND SHOCK ABSORBERS ALL FAILING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM STATED VIBRATION IS INHERENT TO THE DESIGN AND NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED OR WILL BE TAKEN EVER FOR VIBRATION, REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE. SUCH A VIBRATION IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE CUTTING WIRES TO WARNING TELL-TALES BY REMOVING A DRIVER'S ABILITY TO DISCERN TIRE/SUSPENSION/POWERTRAIN/STEERING PROBLEMS THAT CAN ONLY BE IDENTIFIED BY FEELING A VIBRATION (SUCH AS A LOOSE WHEEL OR DAMAGED SUSPSENSION COMPONENTS) PRIOR TO A CATASTROPHIC EVENT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. NOT ONLY FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, BUT ALSO FOR ANY ROAD USER WHEN IT RESULTS IN THE DRIVER LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. GM'S OWN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIST OF PARTS ABOVE IRREFUTABLY SUPPORTS THE INABILITY FOR A DRIVER TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF A VIBRATION. IF EXPERIENCED TECHNICIANS AND SUBSEQUENT CORPORATE ENGINEERS CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE VIBRATION AS BEING DIFFERENT FROM WHEELS, SUSPENSION, POWERTRAIN; THEN A NORMAL DRIVER WILL HAVE NO SUCH WARNINGS AVAILABLE SHOULD A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC SAFETY ISSUE BE PRESENT. FURTHER, SINCE GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS ANY FURTHER VIBRATION ISSUES WITH THIS VEHCILE, IT IS LIKE HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING TELL-TALE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHETHER OR NOT A PROBLEM EXISTS & GM STATING TO JUST LIVE WITH IT. IN OTHER WORDS, IF I GET A LOOSE WHEEL, I GUESS GM FIGURES I WILL KNOW IT WHEN IT FALLS OFF. IN ADDITION, TO SAFETY DEFECT DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE VIBRATION IS AN EXTREME SOURCE OF DRIVER DISTRACTION & DRIVER RAGE AS ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO PRODUCE AND/OR REDUCE THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING.
