GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 BUICK, LUCERNE; CADILLAC DTS; HUMMER H2; MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 BUICK ENCLAVE; CADILLAC CTS; MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE; GMC ACADIA, SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL; SATURN OUTLOOK; AND MODEL YEAR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM (HWFS). A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO AND I HAVE CONTACTED GM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT A "REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE" I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS AND IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND ONE OF THEM IS HURT WITH THE AIR BAGS DUE TO THIS RECALL IT WILL NOT BE A GOOD THING.

THE PROBLEM IS STATED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M THAT GM SENT OUT REGARDING AFN LIFTERS FAILING DUE TO OIL STARVATION. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SENT OUT THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT AND FIX IT. HOWEVER THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 5.3L ENGINES AND A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM! IN MY SITUATION IT CAUSED A SOAK PLUG AND THE SPARK PLUG HOUSING TO BLOW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE! WHICH COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE OR CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMETHING IF IT HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH WITH HIGH TRAFFIC. AS STATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM WON'T EVEN COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST TO FIX IT! IN MY CASE I ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN BARELY DRIVE AND SHOULDNT BE DRIVING! AT ANY MOMENT THE WHOLE ENGINE COULD BLOW UP BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I HAVE THE $4000 TO FIX IT! GM SHOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE COST OF REPAIRS! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES EFFECTED BY PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M. YET GM WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS IN ANY WAY AT ALL WITH THE EXPENSIVE COST OF THIS REPAIR! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THERE COULD BE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES THAT OTHER OWNERS COULD HAVE HAD ALSO. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ALSO EFFECTS OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SUCH AS STABILITAK SYSTEM. WHEN THIS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THE VEHICLE HITS BUMPS AND THROWS THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD MAKING STEERING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE DASH OF TAHOES. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CHEVY TAHOE OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS WITH SAME EXACT ISSUE. THE DASH IS CRACKING AT THE AIRBAG LOCATIONS. AT WHAT POINT DOES THIS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE? IS IT ONLY AFTER AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS? THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE TAKA AIRBAG INFLATOR BUT WE REMAIN ON A "LIST" FOR REPAIRS. ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT LONG TO BE REPAIRED. THE CRACKING IN THE DASH AT THE LOCATIONS OF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

PASS TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL WITH NO PART AVAILABILITY AND MULTIPLE CRACKS IN MY DASH
Structure, Aug 3, 2017
MY TAHOE STILL LOOKS LIKE A NEW VEHICLE AND IS PAID FOR SO I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT I AM SO CONCERNED WITH THE WAY THE DASH HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IS CRACKED IN 4 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IN ONE SPOT YOU CAN LIFT THE DASH COMPLETELY OPEN. I HAVE 6 GRANDCHILDREN AND DO NOT LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT STRUCTURES IN MY VEHICLE POTENTIALLY INJURING THEM OR ANYONE ELSE THAT MAY GET INJURED FROM AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAGS MAY BE DEPLOYED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE COMPANY WOULD RECALL SUCH A DEFECT BESIDES WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT FOR POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATH RELATED TO THIS ISSUE!!!! THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER A SHED AND DOESN'T GET DRIVEN THAT OFTEN. THE FIRST CRACKS NOTICE WERE WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY!!

I RECENTLY STARTED TO NOTICE AN ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR DUCTS, WHILE RUNNING MY AIR CONDITIONER. I CALLED UP A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, HOPING THEY MAY SCHEDULE ME FOR A SERVICING OF MY CABIN AIR FILTER. I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, TO WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID, IN FACT, CARRY THE PARTS NEEDED (USING MY VIN). I SCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT BUT STILL HAD A FEW QUESTIONS AND ASKED IF I MAY SPEAK WITH A SERVICE ADVISER/TECHNICIAN (IT TOOK ME A WEEK BEFORE I WAS CALLED BACK). I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH AN ADVISER THAT, AFTER SPEAKING WITH ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS, INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CABIN AIR FILTER, THUS, THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE IT SERVICED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A CABIN AIR FILTER INSTALLED, HOWEVER, IT DOES HAVE THE HOUSING/SLOT FOR ONE. I PURCHASED A CABIN AIR FILTER AND COVER. THE DIRECTIONS SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH THAT I DID NOT NEED TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE AS I AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. I WAS APPALLED BY WHAT I FOUND WHEN I REMOVED THE SEAL. TEN YEARS OF STANDING WATER, LED TO AN INFESTATION OF MOLD AND BACTERIA, THAT I AND ANY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES I TOOK AFTER CUTTING OUT THE SEAL TO INSTALL A CABIN AIR FILTER. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THIS WAS NEVER ADDRESSED AND WHAT GM MAY RECOMMEND SO THAT THIS MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY YEAR AND MODEL OF TAHOE (ALONG WITH OTHER MODELS THAT DO NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER) IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS FLAW, AND CANNOT SEE HOW ANYONE WOULD CONTINUE TO SIT IN, LET ALONE DRIVE IN, A BACTERIA/DISEASE-RIDDEN VEHICLE. EMAIL SENT TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (TO WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT BASED ON MY VEHICLES AGE AND MILEAGE, THAT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME.

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE PAST YEAR THAT MY DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN CRACKING. THEY STATED THAT IF IT BEGINS TO CRACK AROUND AIRBAG, THAT IT COULD CAUSE A SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAS NOW CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A DISRUPTION IN AIRBAG/FLYING DEBRIS TOWARDS PASSENGER IF IT WERE TO DEPLOY (POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH). THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS AS IT'S COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN GM VEHICLES BUT THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT SOMETIMES THEY WILL COVER THE COST.

Air bags, Jul 12, 2017, crash
I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON AN ASPHALT ROAD, AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL, MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AT ALL.. THE ROAD HAD NO POTHOLES, AND MY VEHICLE HAD NOT VEERED FROM THE ROAD. I COULD NOT SEE THE CURB BECAUSE ONCE INFLATED, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEFLATE AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC AS I COULD NOT SEE FROM ANY OF MY SIDE WINDOWS. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB AT ABOUT 40 MPH, AND FLATTENED BOTH PASSENGER TIRES AND SEVERELY DENTING BOTH RIMS AS WELL. HAD A MORE UNEXPERIENCED DRIVER LIKE MY DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME, THIS MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE EASILY COST US WITH HER LIFE. I WAS ON A SMOOTH ROAD, TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO REASON WHATSOEVER FOR THESE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY! I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND AFTER GIVING MY VIN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS, BUT THAT IT WASN'T TECHNICALLY A RECALL YET, BECAUSE THEY HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I SPEAK TO CORPORATE, THEY COMPLETELY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANYONE EVER HAVING SUCH A PROBLEM. YET WHEN I LOOK ONLINE AT TAHOE FORUMS, THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT THAT I SEE ON EVERY SINGLE SITE, IS THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AT ALL...
