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.

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.

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.

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES IT GETS REALLY HARD AND WILL NOT STOP. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND DID NOT STOP. THEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I REAR-ENDED SOMEONE AND I WAS NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF A CHILD OR CAR RUNS OUT IN FRONT OF ME I WIL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. I HAVE PAID MECHANICS TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, DISC'S BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WILL GO DARK OR QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER, INCLUDING THE AC BLOWER, COMPRESSOR, HEADLIGHTS, ETC. SOMETIME I GET THE STABILITRACK ALERT WITH 3 OR 4 TONES, WHICH RESETS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH LINE TODAY, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHILE WAITING IN LINE, I SOMETIMES PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE, AND MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL INTO DRIVE, IT HAPPENS, AND MORE FREQUENTLY, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, ALL THE WHILE THE STABILITRACK ALARM GOES OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS GO DARK, THE AC SHUTS DOWN, THE DASH DISPLAY GOES DARK, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE UP AND DOWN, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. TODAY, IT ALMOST CAUSED ME NOT TO NEGOTIATE TURNING FROM A MAJOR ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOST ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND MY BRAKES WERE NON-EXISTENT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, I DECIDED I NEEDED TO TELL MY STORY. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES, AND HAVE NOT VENTURED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, FEARING EXPOSURE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS, AND HEARING THAT EVEN THE RECALL REPAIRS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS MORE GOING ON HERE THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS TO HER, THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN MANEUVER A STALLED VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. SO IT LOOKS I HAVE THE SAME STORY AS OTHERS, AND NO REAL SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WILLING TO FIX, OR EVEN ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2015 SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY WITH 73K MILES. OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO - WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING GARAGE SPOT AT WORK, I HAVE LOST MOST OF THE BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKES FELT REALLY HARD AND FELT LIKE IT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD REAL HARD SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO STOP SAFELY WITH OUT RUNNING INTO THE RETAINING WALL. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY OR A PARKING SPOT AT A GROCERY STORE. I ALMOST BUMPED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN A PARKING LOT SPOT AND DECIDED TO START PARKING OUT FURTHER TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLES. AT MY MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE, I RECEIVED A REPORT THAT MY BRAKES WERE ALL "GOOD" BASED ON THE SERVICE TECH'S INSPECTION. THIS IS A REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL PLACED TO GM TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED ON ALL AFFECTED TRUCKS.
