Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorJul 1, 2021
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy is available. Phase I owner notification letters were mailed on May 5, 2022. Phase II owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

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.

If the end cap separates from the inflator, the compressed gas will escape and the end cap can be propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

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.

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.

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.

HOWEVER, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE WARRANTY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I FILE A REPORT SO GM CAN MAYBE RECALL THEIR WEAK TRANSMISSIONS OR TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANS HAS BEEN SHIFTING AND SHUDDERING SO HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND 2ND BACK TO 1ST. WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TRANS WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR. WHEN TAKING EXIT HOME, TRUCK DIED. RESTARTED AND GOT CODES P0741 AND P0700. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. FLUID SMELT BURNT AND METAL SHAVINGS IN PAN.

I AM GETTING A LOT OF CLUNKING IN A TRANSMISSION WHEN IT'S UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING. ON THE ROAD UNDER 55 MPH. IDLE SURGES WHEN IT'S SWITCHING GEARS. WHEN IT GOES INTO V4 MODE AT ANY SPEED IT STARTS TO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE TO THE POINT AND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE GAS PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL AND A LITTLE BIT IN THE SEAT. AND NOW ITS MAKING A RUBBING NOISE.

I HAVE ABOUT 85000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. THE CODE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AS P06DA WHICH MOST LIKELY INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID (BASED ON MOST OF THE VIDEOS AND REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET). UNFORTUNATELY, GM NEVER MADE A RECALL ABOUT THIS!! THIS PROBLEM COSTS ABOUT 3K TO FIX AT THE DEALER.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON A BUSY ROAD THE WARNING SIGN OF (SERVICE STABILITRAK) POPS UP ON DASHBOARD AND LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER TURNING ON AND OFF AS THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO SEEM TO TURN OFF AND QUICKLY BACK ON REGAINING ELECTRIC POWER. WHEN REVERSING IT STARTED LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING SIGN WOULD POP UP. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR RECALLS AND THEY SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND NOW IT'S THERE FOR THE THIRD TIME AS WE SPEAK. WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT AND VIDEO WAS SENT TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. LAST SUNDAY AS I HEADED OUT TO BUY DINNER, MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED TWICE AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING POPPED ON DASHBOARD AND TRUCK COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LOCKING MY BRAKES LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT ON ITS OWN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION GOING DOWNHILL. STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WAS LOCKED LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL AND DRIVING CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WOULD NOT DO ANY CHANGES. MY TRUCK ENDED UP BUMPING INTO A SIDEWALK, I WAS TERRIFIED AS I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. SHAKING IN FEAR I TRIED TO RESTART MY TRUCK AND IT DID TURN ON. I WENT INSIDE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, PARKED AND CALLED AAA SO MY VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED TO OUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUESDAY DUE TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE AGAIN. HOWEVER, I NEVER EXPECTED THAT I WOULD ALMOST LOOSE MY LIFE. IT'S THE THIRD TIME IT'S BEEN SEEN AND I FEAR IT WILL BE THE SAME SCENARIO. I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING SERVICED.

TRUCK WITH JUST UNDER 34,000 MILES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR IN AUTOMATIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND BEFORE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRUCK HAD AN AUDIBLE NOISE FROM TRANSFER CASE WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION AND THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD NOT CHANGE WHEN MOVING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH. CONDITION CAUSED DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEMS. THE CORRECTION WAS TO REPROGRAM AND SET-UP THE TRANSFER CASE MODULE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET EVEN AFTER THE SERVICING DEALER ASKED THEM FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THERE WAS AN AVAILABLE FIX OFFERED BY GM WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT INTERVENTION AND THE CONDITION RESULTS IN DRIVE-ABILITY CONCERNS, I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PRO-ACTIVELY PREVENT THE ISSUE EXPERIENCED AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THE CONSUMER HAS AN ISSUE AND THEN HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY FOR THE REPAIR.
