General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.
If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

I AM VERY CAREFUL AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES, BUT THIS ONE HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT IS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. FROM TALKING WITH A FEW PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME MODEL THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM GM. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY MAJOR POT HOLES OR APPLIED ANY PRESSURE WHAT SO EVER TO THE DASH. NOW IT'S SO BAD THAT IT RATTLES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (35 PLUS TIMES IN PAST 2 MONTHS) I HAVE EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO EVERY ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED COMPONENT OF MY VEHICLE. FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL OR HEADLIGHTS. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOES BLANK, ALL RADIO AND AC DISPLAY GOES OFF AS WELL AS THEIR FUNCTIONS, MY DOOR LOCKS REPEATIDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND MY ACCELERATION STALLS OUT. AFTER THE POWER INTERRUPTION ALL MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS (ABS/ AIRBAGS/ STABILITRACK/ TRACTION CONTROL/ CHECK ENGINE) FLASH ON AND OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN THEY ALL STOP FLASHING THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN GLOWING. ON 1 OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AN HOUR IN THE RAIN ON A TOLL ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ONLY POWER DID NOT RETURN FOR 6 TO 8 MINUTES LEAVING ME TO WRESTLE MY ROLLING VEHICLE ACROSS 3 BUSY LANES OF 75 MPH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I HAD TO SIT THERE WITH MY CHILD AS TRAFFIC FLEW BY UNTIL POWER RETURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED WE WERE GONNA BE HIT BUT WE WERE ON AN ELEVATED SECTION OF THE ROADWAY SO THE CONCRETE BARRIER PREVENTED US FROM GETTING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE CONTACT FAST MOVING TRAFFIC MADE EXITING THE DRIVER SIDE IMPOSSIBLE AS WELL. THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED IN EVERY TYPE OF DRIVING SCENARIO OR CONDITION. RANDOMLY OCCURRING WHILE TURNING, ACCELERATING, DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, BRAKING, HITTING BUMPS WITH NO CONSISTENT FACTOR BEING PRESENT. THE DATE BELOW INDICATES THE ONSET OF THESE REPEAT OCCURRENCES

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT FOR THIS TYPE OF GM VEHICLE. HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO INSTATE A RECALL TO ADDRESS IT'S CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS. WITH THE PLASTIC OF THE DASHBOARD COMPROMISED, A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG COULD SEND FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC INTO THE CABIN.

MY DASH CRACKED OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. IT STARTED OUT AS TWO SMALL CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE TOP CENTER VENT BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ VERSION WITH A SPEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE SPEAKER DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY SUPPORT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER AND THE DASH CRACKS HAVE NOW GROWN TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO BY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER SPEAKER AND NOW THE SPEAKER JUST CONSTANTLY FLOPS UP AND DOWN WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE FLOPPING SPEAKER WITH NO (SUPPORT) IS CAUSING THE CRACK TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. THE CRACKS ARE SPIDER WEBBING NOW AND GETTING MUCH LONGER EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT TO WORK. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT MULTIPLE GM MODEL VEHICLES HAVING CRACKED DASH BOARDS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007 AND 2014. THE DASH COVER OPTION BEING SUGGESTED TO HIDE THE CRACKS IS IN NO WAY A SAFE AND RELIABLE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH THE MANUFACTURERS AIRBAG SAFETY DESIGN AND AND SPECIFIED ASSURED CLEARANCE FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE COVERS DO NOT ADHERE TO THE RATED SPECIFICATION OF THE AIR BAG. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED IN A PLANT WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE MANUFACTURED KNOWS HOW PRECISE AND SPECIFIC THESE STRICT GUIDELINES AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE HELD TO.

TAKATA RECALL- MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST TWO SUMMERS. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PREFORMED A AIRBAG SCAN. I WAS TOLD NO CODES WERE PRESENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS THEN RESET AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE KNOWN POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFLATORS. I LIVE IN HOUSTON TX WHERE THE SUMMERS HOT AND HUMID. I HAVE READ THAT THESE AREAS ARE AT GREATER RISK DUE TO ISSUES ARISING IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES. I PLAN ON BRINGING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON. I'M SURE I WILL BE TOLD THAT SINCE THE RECALL IS PENDING I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. I'M A FATHER OF TWO... DOES TAKATA WANT FAMILIES TO ROLE THE DICE WITH LOVED ONES LIVES WHILE PAPERWORK IS FILED OR PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE??? HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL?
