Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorSep 24, 2026
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles, and 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The left-side or right-side roof rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace both RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262569920. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 24, 2026.

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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
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.

Child seat, tether, connector/clipAug 3, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The owner's manual for the affected vehicles may be missing instructions on how to use the tether anchorage and child restraint anchorage systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

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.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT SPEED. HARD SHIFTS AT SLOW SPEED. APPEARS TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED ACROSS THIS SITE AND OTHER FORUMS. IT APPEARS THE OIL USED IN THE TRANSMISSIONS WAS DEFECTIVE (PER CHEVY) . TSB - 16-NA-175 AND TSB 18-NA-355. HOPEFULLY ADDING TO THE LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS HELPS GET CHEVY TO ISSUE A "RECALL" OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE FLUSH PROCEDURES OR SIMILAR FIXES.

HARD DOWNSHIFTING WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS AT SLOW SPEED. JERKING AND CLUNKING NOISE, AND RPM GOES UP AND SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM GOING DOWN A HILL WITH THE BREAKS APPLIED AND GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. THE TRUCK JERKED SO BAD THAT THE SEAT BELT LOCKED.

A 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH A 5.3L AT 80000 MILES THE WATER PUMP WENT BAD I HAD A 2006 SAME TRUCK AND IT WAS 200000+ .MILES BEFORE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THE WATER PUMP ISSUE SO SOON OR IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, ALSO EXCESSIVE NOISES FROM THE TRANSMITION WHEN UP OR DOWN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS AND IS LIKE IF STRUGGLED TO DOWN SHIFT WHEN YOU NEED IT LIKE WHEN YOU NEED TO PASS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU MOST TIMES YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT EXCESSIVE THROTLE AND ONLY THEN IT DOWNSHIFTS IN A VIOLENT MANNER, AGAIN DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ONLY HAPPENING TO ME OR IF THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME TRUCK HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES, THANKS.

TRUCK DOWN AND UPSHIFTS HARD. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN I GET BACK ON THE GAS, THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER LIKE IT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR TO BE IN. MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WITH LIGHT ACCELERATION FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THERE IS MAJOR HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I'M IN. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. BEEN TO CHEVY 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THE TRANSMISSION WILL LEARN HOW YOU DRIVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THERE IS NO NEW UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SO I'M SCREWED.

Power train, Sep 18, 2019
THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS NUMEROUS ISSUES. 1) WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO UNDER 10 MPH, AS IF YOU WERE YIELDING TO TRAFFIC AND THEN PRESSING THE THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, TWO ISSUES CAN OCCUR. FIRST, THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CAN HESITATE BETWEEN GEARS, PROVIDING NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. SECOND, WHEN VEHICLE DOES SHIFT INTO A GEAR, THE VEHICLE CAN LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AS IF YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND. THERE IS SOMETIMES AN AUDIBLE "CLANK" WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS ISSUE CAN PREVENT A DRIVER FROM SUCCESSFULLY ENTERING TRAFFIC DUE TO LOSS OF INSTANT POWER TO THE WHEELS. 2) DURING LOW-SPEED ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE CAN HESITATE BETWEEN THE FIRST THREE GEARS, PROVIDING NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. IT HAS A SIMILAR FEEL TO A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS SLIPPING. THIS CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO OVER-CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY IN POWER TO THE WHEELS BY APPLYING EXCESSIVE THROTTLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 3) WHEN PROCEEDING SLOWLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE CAN SHIFT UP OR DOWN SUDDENLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE IS SOMETIMES AN AUDIBLE "CLANK" WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, IN TIGHT TRAFFIC, IF THE DRIVER ISN'T PREPARED TO APPLY THE BRAKE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. 4) WHEN DRIVING NORMALLY, THE TRANSMISSION MAY HESITATE TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED AS WOULD BE NECESSARY WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE GEAR DEPENDENT. THE LOSS OF INSTANT POWER CAN PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SUCCESSFULLY OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THEY NEED TO CONDUCT A PASSING MANEUVER.

BRAKES DID NOT KICK IN WHEN I TRIED TO AVOID HITTING A CAR THAT SLAMMED THEIR BRAKES ON IN FRONT OF ME. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, IN WHICH I HAD $8000 + DOLLARS IN FRONT END DAMAGE THAT MY INSURANCE CARRIER PROVIDED. I HAD TO PAY $1000 IN DEDUCTIBLES ALONG WTIH $500 IN RENTALS.

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERN192268490 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER19V645 ON AUGUST 14, 2014, I WAS DRIVING THE 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO 4X4 WORK TRUCK ON A RURAL STATE ROUTE IN HOLMES COUNTY, OHIO. I HAD PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PICK UP MY TRAFFIC COUNTING EQUIPMENT. ONCE I WAS FINISHED, I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY TO TURN AROUND. I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ROCK HARD, I LOST ALL PEDAL AND HAD NO BRAKES. I HIT THE GUARDRAIL THAT WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WHEN I COULDN'T STOP. NO DAMAGE TO THE GUARDRAIL, BUT PLENTY OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. OBVIOUSLY, I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS RIGHT SO THE VERY NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET. AFTER TECHS HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME. THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT HAD THE VACUUM PUMP NOT FAILED, I WOULD NOT HAVE HIT THE GUARDRAIL.

I WAS PARKING MY TRAVEL TRAILER ON A CAMP SITE AND READJUSTING. I PULLED AHEAD DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR IN THE TRUCK. I PUSHED THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND STOPPED JUST BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER CAMPER. PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS BACK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO FINISH ADJUSTING AND IT DID NOT HAVE THE BRAKE ISSUE AGAIN. IT WAS VERY SCARY WITH KIDS AROUND ETC.

FUEL INJECTOR OR FUEL PUMP DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. ON TWO (2) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MONTHS APART, MY ENGINE HAS LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. BOTH TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS 10 - 15 MPH AND LOW RPMS. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ONE VEHICLE AND FOR ANOTHER TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS MY CAR DIED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED IN TWICE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND GM BOTH SAY UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED/REVIEWED. ON TOP OF THIS, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES AND DO A SOFTWARE PATCH UPDATE BECAUSE THE BACKUP CAMERA WAS DANGEROUSLY BRIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE CAMERA ISSUE TOOK 2 VISITS TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO GET RESOLVED. GM IS PLAYING THE NUMBERS GAME OF HOPING FOR A FINE INSTEAD OF PAYING TO REPLACE ANY PARTS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE DEALING WITH A PR BATTLE ABOUT MAKING CARS OUTSIDE OF THE USA. THEY TOOK THE BAILOUT MONEY AND SCREWED AMERICANS.

Service brakes, Aug 27, 2019, crash
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 WHERE I SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I HAD AT LEAST 40 FEET TO STOP AND I LITERALLY STOOD ON TEH BRAKES AND TRUCK BARELY SLOWED DOWN AND BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM A FEW MONTHS AGO SAYING THE BRAKE ASSIST PUMP MAY BE FAULTY AND THAT I COULD GET IT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IF IT WERE TO FAIL THE TRUCK WOULD STILL BRAKE WITHIN "STANDARD". I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE IT WASN'T DESCRIBED AS AN EMERGENCY AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TI TAKEN CARE OF THE NEXT TIME I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. MY WIFE HAD COMMENTED ON MY BRAKES FEELING SPONGY. AFTER THE WRECK I WAS SO DISTURBED BY HOW POORLY THE TRUCK RESPONDED TO FORCIBLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKES PEDAL THAT I STARTED RESEARCHING AND I FOUND WHERE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THIS VERY ISSUE IN THE 2014-16 SILVERADOS AND I FEEL STRONGLY THAT MY ISSUE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS INVESTIGATION. THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AND I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE BRAKES DO NO OPERATE WITHIN "STANDARD" WHEN THE BRAKE ASSIST PUMP STOPS WORKING.

MY 2017 SIVERADO WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES IS AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTOR ON THE #7 CYLINDER. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO BARE THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I DO NOT FEEL THAT ON A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR SHOULD FAIL, NOR SHOULD I BARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION, I JUST WANT OTHER TO BE AWARE OF THE DEFECT.

DRIVING FROM CONNECTICUT TO SOUTH CAROLINA MY TRUCK DEVELOPED A BAD VIBRATION BETWEEN 45MPH TO 70MPH. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 34K FOR MILES. THEY CLAIM THAT NO DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE STRANDED WHILE THEY CLAIM THAT GM NEEDS READING BEFORE THEY CAN FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

TRANSMISSION HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY.
Service brakes, Jul 26, 2019
THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 10 MPH), THE BRAKES FAIL TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED WHICH UNEXPECTEDLY REQUIRES MORE EFFORT THAN BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. EVEN WITH THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, IT STILL DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE EXPECTED STOPPING RANGE.
Power train, Jul 23, 2019
WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-75) THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE SHAKING WHEN ENGINE IS UNDER LIGHT LOAD (JUST KEEPING SPEED). I HAVE TAKEN IN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT WORKED FOR A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES. NOT THE "CHEVY SHAKE" IS BACK AT FULL FORCE. UPON CALLING CHEVY, THEY CLAIM TO KNOW THAT THEIR TRUCKS DO THIS, BUT SAY THERE IS NOT A FIX TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, BUT SHOULD NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, HOW CAN THEY SAY IT'S NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM SO AFRAID THAT MY TRUCK IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND IT'S NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD. I HAVE READ THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SINCE THE 2014 MODEL. THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

BACKING UP MY TRUCK, AT SLOW SPEED DOWN A BOAT RAMP, MY BRAKE PEDAL AUTHORITY WENT TO ZERO. I HAD NO BRAKES DURING BACKING MY BOAT IN GULF OF MEXICO. I HAD TO STAND ON PEDAL WITH ALL OF MY WEIGHT JUST TO SLOW IT LONG ENOUGH SO I COULD PUT ON PARKING BRAKE. I CALLED DEALER TO INQUIRE IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID I HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO EVEN GET IT IN THERE TO LOOK AT IT. UNACCEPTABLE. LOSS OF BRAKING CAN KILL OCCUPANTS IN THESE VEHICLES. IN MY CASE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WATER AND POSSIBLY DROWNED.
