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.

TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOW FAILING. STEERING IS HAVING ISSUES NOW, EITHER BAD TIE RODS OR BAD CV JOINTS. I HAVE HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN THE PAST. I SUSPECT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A FLOOD AND THE DEALERSHIP COVERED IT UP. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE JANUARY OF 2019, AND I HAVE TEXT RECORDS STARTING APRIL 7TH 2019.

HOWEVER, THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS ONLY A "BULLETIN" AND THAT SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE KNOWN REPAIRS NEEDED TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT CLEARLY GM IS AWARE OF. REPAIRS ARE OVER 1300 DOLLARS! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX IT FOR OWNERS. HOW MANY INJURIES AND DEATHS MUST OCCUR BEFORE A BULLETIN WARRANTS BECOMING A RECALL? I ALSO NOTED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER, RIGHT BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ACCORDING THE THE CAR FAX TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.
