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.

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.

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.

POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THE VACUUM PUMP IS FAILING. SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES HARD AND REQUIRES ALOT OF EXTRA EFFORT TO STOP. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE REAR OF A CAR IN A DRIVE-THRU.

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL I HEAR A CLUNKING/GRINDING NOISE. ON 7/07/2017 I BROUGHT IT IN TO MICHAELS CHEVROLET LOCATED IN FRESNO, CA REGARDING THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS A RESULT OF A BAD RACK AND PINION. THEY REPLACED THE RACK UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THREE WEEKS LATER I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO OBVIOUSLY THIS NEW ONE IS BAD AS WELL. THE CLUNKING/GRINDING NOISE IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN STATIONARY AND TURNING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT AND WHILE BACKING. YOU DON'T REALLY HEAR IT MUCH WHILE DRIVING.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE COURSE OF 3 DAYS I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONER GO FROM BLOWING COLD AIR TO BLOWING WARMER AIR UNTIL IT NO LONGER WAS COLD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE SYSTEM AND SAID THE AC CONDENSER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1,300 TO FIX. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. THE CURRENT "FEEL LIKE" TEMPERATURE IN FLORIDA IS 106 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE. THAT WOULD BE A LONG TIME TO GO WITHOUT A/C WITHOUT A LOANER FROM THE DEALER, WHICH THE DEALER DID OFFER.

AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AT 70 MPH. ISSUE ONLY OCCURS ON HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES WHERE 70MPH CAN BE DRIVEN SAFELY. NOW HAS 52K MILES. DEALER HAD ACCESSORIZED TRUCK WITH OVERSIZE WHEELS/TIRES & LIFT KIT. I BOUGHT IT THIS WAY. WAS SMOOTH UNTIL ABOUT 45K MILES. MY TIRES ARE STILL GOOD, BUT I WILL REPLACE BEFORE 60K MILES INTERNET SEARCHING REVEALED MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING "CHEVY SHAKE" ISSUE WITH GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I BELIEVE MINE IS AFFECTED BY THE 'CHEVY SHAKE' MYSTERY PROBLEM. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE 7/21/17 AND ADVISING THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THEY WILL LIKELY BLAME IT ON AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT/SUSPENSION/WHEELS/TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ACCESSORIZED THE TRUCK WHEN NEW THROUGH A SPECIALTY SHOP. I BOUGHT WARRANTIES THAT SUPPOSEDLY COVER ALL OF THE TRUCK, EVEN THE STUFF DEALER HAD THE SPECIALTY SHOP PUT ON IT.

I CONTINUED TO DRIVE APPROX. 10 MILES WITH THE LIGHT ON AND WHILE TURNING OFF A BUSY ROAD, ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO STEERING, NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, NOTHING. IT VIRTUALLY WENT DEAD! I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRY TO START IT AGAIN (THANK GOODNESS NO TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH AT THE TIME). AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER TO MY HOME, WHERE IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN, IN FRONT OF MY DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED, AS I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO CONCLUDE WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TESTED IT WITH THE SPARE KEY, AND STILL NO SIGN OF ANY TROUBLE. I AM RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK.

SO DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE YOLK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ENGINE COMMUNICATION LEADS TO EXTREME VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CLUNKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THERE IS A DELAY IN THE MOTOR RECOGNIZING IT SO IT REVS UP SOME SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FINDS THE GEAR IT CAUSES IT TO KICK. AND SINCE THE YOLK HAS PLAY IN IT, IT CAUSES THE DIFFERENTIAL TO CLUNK AS THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT CATCHES UP AT A QUICKER RATE. WHICH LEADS TO MORE LOOSENESS IN THE YOKE AND CREATES A WOBBLE IN THE DRIVESHAFT. AND AN UNSETTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AROUND.

WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY, I LOST OVER 90% OF MY STOPPING POWER WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN OFF RAMP. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN OFF THE RAMP TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY (AND NOT JUST MOMENTS BEFORE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY). AFTER EXTREME CAUTION AND SMART USE OF DOWN-SHIFTING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY NAVIGATE INTO A PARKING LOT THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE THE INCIDENT FIRST HAPPENED. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP FAILURE AND REPLACED IT (NOTE THAT THEY OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN WHAT FAILED AND THAT IT WAS FIXED). THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR NOW, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY (AND MY FAMILY'S) SAFETY AND OVERALL RELIABILITY OF THIS TRUCK.
