Tires, temporary/emergency spare tireDec 16, 2021
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 vehicles equipped with certain accessory road tires and a 17" spare tire.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The battery positive (B+) cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, potentially causing an intermittent electrical connection between the B+ cable and alternator.

THE RECALL THAT WAS TO FIX THIS ISSUE HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS WELL WHERE THE TRUCK WILL JERK INTO SECOND GEAR AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 2ND TO FIRST IT WILL JERK AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO BULLETINS ON THIS AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ASKED THE SERVICE GUY THEN WHY DOES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGH IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG? I QUOTE "THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO SHIFT THAT WAY".

THE NEW RECALL COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

I HAVE LOST POWER TO MY BRAKES ON 4 ISOLATED OCCASIONS IN THE SPAN OF A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS NEW VEHICLE. ON EACH OCCURRENCE THE SERVICE TRAILER BRAKES, SERVICE ESC, SERVICE SPEEDS AND I WOULD SMELL BURNING UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE AFTER OPERATION. ON 3 OF THE OCCASIONS I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WHILE STATIONARY AND UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT ROUGHLY 60 MPH AND ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND LOST POWER TO THE BRAKING SYSTEMS.

ON JANUARY 22, 2020 I STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH USING THE MYCHEVROLET PHONE APP. I GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON. THE FOLLOWING THREE WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL: 1) BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED, 2)SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM, 3) SERVICE ESC ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN USING THE IGNITION BUTTON AND ALL WARNINGS AND LIGHTS CLEARED EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ONSTAR REPORTING THAT AN ISSUE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DETECTED. THIS VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN INTO THE DEALER THE PRIOR WEEK TO FIX ONE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE BATTERY CABLE, AND TWO OTHER RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKES.

TURNED ON TRUCK AND GOT MULTIPLE MESSAGES, "SERVICE ESC" AND "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE - SPEED LIMITED TO 62 MPH." BRAKING WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED - EVEN AT HARDEST EFFORT, TRUCK STRUGGLED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TRUCK HAS 6700 MILES AND ALSO BRAKE PADS ARE REPORTING 14%/18% LIFE LEFT WHICH IS INNACURATE BASED ON AMOUNT OF DRIVING.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Jan 27, 2020
STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES CAME UP IMMEDIATELY: BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED, SERVICE ESC, AND SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. OTHER LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE, ESC, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE. WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AS FOR THEM TO SEE THE VEHICLE IN IT'S CURRENT STATE. WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER THE BRAKES WHERE NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE FULLY DOWN AND IT WOULD COAST TO A STOP. DEPENDING ON THE SPEED WOULD DETERMINE HOW FAR IT WOULD COAST BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. BRAKE PEDAL HAD PRESSURE BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT START TO ACTIVE UNTIL FULLY PRESSED. EVEN THEN THE STOP WAS VERY SLOW AND WOULD COAST. EXAMPLE, DRIVING OUT OF MY OFFICE DRIVE TO THE MAN ROAD AT 5-10MPH IT COASTED A GOOD 30-60 FT. ONCE THE PEDAL WAS FULLY ENGAGED. VEHICLE HAS 667 MILES.

I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME, BUT THE BRAKES WERE SO HARD THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP. LOCAL DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH "FIXED IT" LESS THAN 1,500 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! OBD HAS THE CODES C0021, C0021, P25A2, P25A2, P0606. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK! IF THAT ISSUE WERE TO HAPPEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I WOULD HAVE NO WAY OF STOPPING IN TIME. RIDICULOUS.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Jan 24, 2020
5 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ONE MONTH AGO; SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON, SHIFTING INTO GEAR AND STARTING TO MOVE THE FOLLOWING DISPLAYS ON THE DASH 'SERVICE ESC, SERVICE PARKING BREAK, FLASHING ORANGE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT', THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHER LIGHTS TOO BUT THOSE ONES HAVE BEEN THERE EVERY TIME. USUALLY IT RESETS AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. THE RIDE HOWEVER IS VERY JERKY UNTIL I AM ABLE TO DO SO AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE OPERATION CONDITION IF THERE IS NOT A QUICK AND EASY PLACE TO STOP TO RESET. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE ONSTAR PULL THE CODES RICE BUT THEY WERE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SO IN TIME AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM WHEN THEY CONNECT TO THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS. IT APPEARS THEY CAN'T SEE HISTORY, ONLY ACTIVE CODES. THERE WAS A BRAKE RECALL ON THIS TRUCK THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPROGRAMMED BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE 'SOFTWARE FIX' MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. IN HINDSIGHT, MY SALESMAN ALSO SEEMED LIKE HE MAY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP I NOTICED THAT FRONT BRAKE PAD LIFE INDICATED ONLY 68% REMAINING WHICH SEEMED LOW FOR A 'NEW' TRUCK THAT HAD 2500 MILES (HAD BEEN DEALER COURTESY VEHICLE). HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE TRIED TO CLARIFY WAS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF 'AND YOU WANT ME TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE WARNING ABOUT THE BRAKES?', IN RETROSPECT THAT RESPONSE INDICATES TO ME THAT HE MAY HAVE HAD AN AWARENESS OF THIS PROBLEM THAT I HAD NOT YET EXPERIENCED AND WAS NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING ABOUT AT THE TIME. HE NEVER SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS GETTING AT ABOUT THE BRAKE PAD LIFE WHEN I REEXPLAINED SO I EVENTUALLY DECIDE JUST TO FORGET ABOUT IT AND RESIGNED TO THE FACT THAT I MAY HAVE TO PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON THIS TRUCK BEFORE THE LEASE IS UP IN 39 MONTHS.

VEHICLE BRAKES WERE MUSHY AND THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AS WAS THE SYMBOL FOR STEERING ( WAVY LINES UNDER A CAR PICTURE), ALSO THESE THREE CODES WERE SCROLLING ON THE DASH: BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM, SERVICE ESC. THESE ISSUES REPEATED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. EACH TIME I TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS WERE USED FOR THREE " REPAIRS". THE ISSUES CAME UP AFTER I STARTED THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON. THE CODES BEGAN SCROLLING EACH TIME, AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT FIRM/ NOT NORMAL.
