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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'M ADDING TO THE GROWING LIST OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AC ISSUES WITH GM/CHEVY FULL-SIZED VEHICLES FROM 2014-2015. AS OF 5/3/2018, I HAD NOTICED MY AC ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR. TRIED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, SAME THING. ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD, I FOUND IT INCREDIBLY ODD THAT THE FREON WOULD BE GONE ALREADY. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A TREMENDOUSLY EGREGIOUS KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC/CHEVY OWNERS AND A RECALL REGARDING THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN ISSUED TO CORRECT IT. GIVEN THE FACT MY VEHICLE HAS JUST FALLEN OUT WARRANTY AS WELL, IT'S INCREDIBLY INFURIATING THAT I'M NOW FORCED TO HAVE THESE REPAIRS COME OUT OF POCKET AND WAIT NEARLY A MONTH FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY GMC/CHEVY BEFORE THE HOTTEST DAYS OF SUMMER ARRIVE.

2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 5.3L 4X4 (48,000 MILES). WHILE DRIVING LAST NIGHT I WAS U-TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, THEN FLASHED "STABILITRAK" ON THE DASH, AND JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN SOMEONE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION THERE SURLY WOULD HAVE A MAJOR HEAD ON COLLISION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER RE-FIRING THE TRUCK AND TRIED SOME LOW SPEED SHARP TURNS AND SURE ENOUGH THE SAME ISSUE. FLICKERING POWER, "STABILITRAK" FLASHING ON DASH, AND STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. WHEN I SAY STEERING JERKED ITS NOT AS IF I JUST LOST POWER STEERING, THE WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY JERK AS IF ITS TRYING TO GET BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I LEFT THE TRUCK OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THIS MORNING TO HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME HOME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO ISSUED RECALL FOR MY VIN. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS OF STORIES AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET VERY SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE AIMED AT THE PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL/YEAR AND EVERYONE I'VE FOUND THAT HAS HAD THE RECALLS FOR STEERING AND VOLTAGE ISSUES SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ITS TERRIFYING THINKING THAT IM DRIVING A 6,000LBS MASS THAT CAN SHUT OFF AND STEER ITSELF OUT OF NO WHERE. RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM!

WHILE PARKED OVER NIGHT IN THE GARAGE THE SABILITRAK LIGHT WAS ON AND SERVICE TRAILER SYSTEM. TRUCK WOULDN'T START SO I JUMP STARED HE TRUCK. THAT WORKED TWICE THOUGH OUT THE DAY AND ON MY LAST DRIVE WHILE I WAS REVERSING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PULLED FROM MY HAND AND THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON! FINALLY WHILE PARKED BEFORE MY TRUCK ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND 'SERVICE TRAILER SYSTEM' I'VE NEVER USED MY TRAILER SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER 'CRANK'. I HAD TO TOW MY TRUCK HOME AND I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WASN'T PULLED FROM MY HAND WITH MY TWO KIDS WITH ME IN THE ROAD!

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN IT WAS TAKEN THERE FOR MAINTENANCE AND WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. SO NOW MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING WITH A SEAT BELT THAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.. ALSO I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES BUT IT WAS REPORTED IN 2017.

ON MY WAY HOME PULLING A 5000 LBS BOAT AND TRAILER ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY BRAKES GET HARD AS A ROCK AND LOOSE THE ABILITY TO BASICALLY STOP WITH ANY QUICK RESPONSE. AFTER LIMPING THE TRUCK A SHORT DISTANCE TO A FRIENDS BUSINESS I LEARN THIS TRUCK HAS A BRAKE POWER ASSIST PUMP???????????? CALL ME OLD FASHION BUT THE VACUUM USUALLY COMES FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, NOT A RINKY DINK PUMP WITH A BELT TO DRIVE IT. TOTALLY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS BRAKES TO BE RELIED ON A RUBBER BAND AND A 5 DOLLAR CHINA BEARING. I FEEL THIS IS A POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN AND COULD EASILY BEEN AVOIDED. NOW COMES THE ENJOYMENT OF HAVING IT REPAIRED AND ONLY A DEALER AVAILABLE PART. TRUCK JUST TURNED 50K AND MY DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THIS ITEM IS NOT.COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

Service brakes, Apr 10, 2018
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A 1 WEEK PERIOD, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. A NOISE COULD BE HEARD SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN ACTIVE ABS. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A CROWDED PARKING LOT. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT A COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS PARKING AT A CURB IN THE MAIN AREA OF MY TOWN AND AGAIN HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. INTERNET RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

ONLY AFTER EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE WAS THERE ANY BRAKING ACTION, BUT ONLY SLIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HIT THE WALL BEHIND THE TRUCK. IF SOMEONE WAS THERE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. GM/CHEVROLET HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CAME BACK WITH 312,000 RESULTS. I'VE TALKED TO MY SELLING CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY RELUCTANT TO DEAL WITH IT.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN REVERSING UP A DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK WILL STALL AS THE GAS IS PRESSED IT WILL REV UP BUT NOT GO ANYWHERE, THEN JUMP INTO REVERSE AS IF THE PETAL WAS FLOORED. ALSO SOME TIMES WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEARS ALSO JUMPING INTO GEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
