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.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019.

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.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND BRAKES INEFFECTIVE IF THE PEDAL IS PUSHED AND RELEASED AT IDLE. BRAKE DO NOT START WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN PRESSED. "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN. DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP.
Service brakes, Nov 26, 2018
AT LOW SPEEDS MY BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PRESS. THE PEDAL GETS REALLY TIGHT AND WILL NOT PRESS DOWN. THE LONGER YOU TRY TO PRESS THE TIGHTER THEY GET. THE TRUCK WILL BARELY STOP BEFORE I ALMOST HIT SOMETHING. DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENTLY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I GO FROM A STOP, THEN ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND THEN TRY TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP (EX. WHEN PARKING).

I BROUGHT MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AS MY BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY FORCEFULLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2018 THE REPAIR SHOP CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE GIVEN THAT THE VEHICLE IS A RECENT MODEL WITH LIMITED MILEAGE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TAKING A LENGTHY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HAD SAME BRAKE PROBLEMS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE GOING DOWN A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR ON NOVEMBER 15TH. REPAIR SHOP CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND SPOKE WITH PARTS MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO AS THEY HAD A 2016 SILVERADO IN THERE SHOP SAME DAY FOR SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY DEALER PARTS MANAGER INDICATED THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL BUT THEY DID NOTICE AN ISSUE AS THEY HAD SOLD 10 ABS PUMPS IN JUST ONE WEEK! THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ABS PUMP. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT PLACED MY FAMILY AT RISK AND COST ME MORE THAN $900. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT IN THE RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THERE BEEN A NEED TO STOP QUICKLY I FEEL CONFIDENT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION.
