General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2009 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500, Silverado 3500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500, Sierra 3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia or "Zone B."

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on February 23, 2021. Second notification letters will be mailed once the remedy is available.

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.

Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 8, 2015
SINCE NOVEMBER 11, 2014, THE STABILITY TRACK TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I RECENTLY RELOCATED TO PHILADELPHIA, PA FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A SENSOR (THAT ACCORDING ONE HONEST DEALER, DOESN'T EXIST). THE WORST MOMENT OF ALL WAS DURING A DRIVE INTO WORK AFTER MOVING TO PHILADELPHIA. IT WAS SNOWING MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO, THE STABILITY CONTROL TURNED OFF ON IT'S OWN. I WENT TO BREAK AND MY TRUCK PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND BOUNCED TO A STOP, NARROWLY AVOIDING A COUPLE STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE OFFICE BY DRIVING 25 MILES PER HOUR FOR 10 MILES. I AGAIN CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS ONE WHO AGREED TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK AT NO COST. HE HAD MY TRUCK FOR THE DAY AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WHAT I FOUND WAS MOST OF THE DEALERS ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE BLOCK, NEVER MORE THEN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR THIS ISSUE TO SHOW. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO DRIVE MY TRUCK IN THE SAME CONDITION THEY STATED THEY DON'T DO THAT. SO STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS MAKES NO SINCE THAT CHEVY HAS NOT PUT OUT ANY STATEMENTS OR EXPLAINED THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE TO KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF THIS ISN'T ANOTHER "HIDE THE FINDINGS UNTIL WE GET CAUGHT" APPROACH. SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A FEW LAWSUITS OR CLASS ACTION SUIT. SEEMS THESE GUYS DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HIT THEM IN THEIR POCKETS. *TR

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 SPOTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE ONE CRACK THAT LEADS TO THE AIR BAG COVER...THAT COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN HITTING MY SON IN THE FACE CAUSING BODILY HARM. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP (BRYAN CHEVROLET) FOR REPLACEMENT...I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED REPLACED IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE ($1000.00). BOTTOM LINE, I GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM, NOW THAT ONE CRACK HAS GROWN TO TWO CRACKS...AND THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT SO MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND STILL GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUCH LESS REPLACE ALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. I AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED TO MAKE ALL AFFECTED PARTIES WHOLE IN A RETROACTIVE MANNER. THE GROSS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT HIS NOT A FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

SO FAR, 3 OF THE 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THESE ARE CHEAPLY MADE PLASTIC, NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE FORCE OF SIMPLY OPENING A DOOR. THIS CAR IS OTHERWISE IN GREAT CONDITION, HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, AND IS USUALLY ONLY DRIVEN WITH ONE OCCUPANT. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN OPENED VERY OFTEN FOR A CAR WITH MILEAGE IN THE LOW 40'S. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO SMALL CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WITH THIN FINGERS AS IT WOULD BE QUITE EASY TO GET A FINGER CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE HANDLES DO NOT LOOK BROKEN. THE ACT OF OPENING THE DOOR CAUSES THE HANDLE TO PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE DOOR. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A DEALER TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY REPLACED 8 HANDLES FOR 1 CUSTOMER. THAT'S AT A PRICE BETWEEN $250 AND $300 PER HANDLE. I WAS GOING TO BEGIN LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR TODAY. IF THIS IS HOW CHEVROLET STANDS BEHIND IT'S VEHICLES, THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN MY SEARCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE SNOW GOING 5MPH AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SPIN. THE CAR WAS IN AUTOMATIC FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT DID NOT KICK INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE SO I SLID OFF THE ROAD. I WAS OFF ROAD ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE CAR WOULDNT GO INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT SAID SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE KNOB WILL TURN BUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE CAR NOT GOING TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN THE KNOB HAS BEEN TURNED. *JS

THE COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM ROTTED OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING A FIRE. THE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP MODULE, LOCK RING, FUEL LINES ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED AND HAD TO DO A FUEL SPILL CLEAN UP. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THE FUEL SPILL BEFORE THE CADILLAC CONVERTER WARMED UP.
