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.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the RRAB modules on the left and/or right side, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on December 22, 2020.

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.

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.

The recall began on August 4, 2017.

OUR 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT 38,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 84 MILES WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING THE ENGINE. THIS WAS WHILE RETURNING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF A VEHICLE WE PAID GOOD MONEY ON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IS LINE WITH 15 OTHER VEHICLES WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT CHEVROLET GM WAS ABOUT WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THEIR VEHICLES.

LOSS OF STEERING, LIGHTS, NAV, STABILITRAK, AIRBAG WARNING OFTEN BUT NOT ALWAYS NOTED WHEN BRAKING OR USING TURN SIGNALS.

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.

VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON TO CLEAR SNOW ON THE OUTSIDE. SEVERAL MOMENTS LATER I HEARD A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR INTERIOR OF THE PICKUP CAB AND THEN LOOKED INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AT WHICH TIME I SAW SMOKE EMITTING FORM THE LOWER CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FIXED WINDOW PANE (THIS IS 3 PIECE REAR WINDOW WHERE THE MIDDLE PAN OPENS VIA ELECTRICAL SWITCH). THE HISSING CONTINUED WITH THE SMOKE THAT WAS COMING FROM THE LOWER CORNER OF THE WINDOW NEAREST TO THE CENTRAL WINDOW PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE ODOR OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE (BURNING INSULATION) AND THEN TURNED OFF THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER SWITCH. THE HISSING SOUND AND SMOKE CEASED. A FEW SECONDS LATER 8 HEARD A LOUD 'POP' SOUND COME FROM THE BACK WINDOW AND OBSERVED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, IN PLACE WITH THE FRACTURE LINE EMANATING OUTWARD FROM HE AREA WHERE THE SMOKE WAS FIRST OBSERVED.

THE HOOD IS ESPECIALLY BAD ABOVE THE GRILL. EACH DOOR BELOW THE CHROME STRIP ALONG THE LOWER KICK PLATE IS ESPECIALLY BAD. EACH WASH OF THE VEHICLE MAKES IT WORSE. SADLY, LOOKING AT EACH AREA, A SMALL PIT TO THE METAL IS VISIBLE; ALMOST AS IF EVERY ROCK CHIP/SCRATCH IS MAKING IT WORSE.
