Seat belts, frontApr 8, 2021
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles that may have received an incorrect replacement tensioner cable assembly as part of a previous recall remedy or a subsequent repair. The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.
A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212330040.

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.

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.

THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING, ENGINE AND POWER BRAKING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEMS TO REBOOT AND TURN BACK ON AFTER A SECOND OR TWO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR AFTER HITTING THE TURN SIGNAL. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DOING 50MPH ON THE HIGH JUST BECAUSE I TURNED MY TURN SIGNAL ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 4 WEEKS OR SO. YOU CAN TELL IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS START DEEMING WHEN TAPPING THE BRAKES OR USING THE TURN SIGNAL. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL TEMPERATURES. AFTER IT HAPPENS THE CONSOLE STATES "STABLITRAK IS DISABLED".

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WAS IF MY TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND MY CAR LOST POWER. IT THEN AUTOMATICALLY CAME BACK ON AND THE 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' LIGHTS CAME ON. I NEARLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND TOOK A TURN THE DASHBOARD CHIMED AND SHOWED A "SERVICE STABILITRAK", AND REDCUTION IN POWER STEERING, AND HVAC WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING. EVERYTHING FLASHED AND FLICKERED. UPON FURTHER ASSESSMENT AT MY HOUSE STATIONARY TURNING THE WHEEL REACTIVATED THE PROBLEMS AND IT WAS ALSO NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND GO DIM ALONG WITH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. LOOKED UP SOME RECALLS AND SAW SOME RECALLS ON 2014 GMC SIERRA WITH LOSS IN POWER STEERING, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT. I HAVE A BRAKE RECALL THAT I WILL BE SERVICING AND HOPEFULLY THAT MIGHT SOLVE THIS DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK DRIVING BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING OR NOTIFICATION POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING STABILITRACK OFF OR STEERING ASSIST OFF, WHICH STIFFENS THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. AT ONE POINT, THE NOTIFICATIONS POPPED UP AND THEN MY A/C WENT OFF AND RADIO WENT OFF ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART AT WHICH POINT IT CAME BACK ON AND WORKED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND ASSESS WHAT HAD OCCURRED. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-996-9463) AND ADVISE THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A RECALL (#17276 - LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST), BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VIN#. IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2014 MODELS OF BOTH CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES, WHEREAS MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 GMC SIERRA LTD. THEY ADVISED THAT A GMC DEALER COULD "REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE", BUT THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND THEY WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT OR RECALL ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THE FACT I HAVE KIDS AND TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SPORTING EVENTS. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'M SURPRISED THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED OR ACKNOWLEDGED BY GMC.

I COULDN'T DECRIBE IT BETTER IF I TRIED. FROM GM RECALL NOTIFICATION N172085440 "CONDITION: GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2014 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST, PARTICULARLY DURING LOW-SPEED TURNING MANEUVERS. THE LOSS AND SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST TYPICALLY HAPPENS WITHIN A 1 SECOND PERIOD AND IS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL/SOFTWARE ISSUE. IF EPS ASSIST IS LOST AND SUDDENLY RETURNED, THE DRIVER COULD LOSE TEMPORARY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE."

DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY, STABILLITRAK DEACTIVATES, POWER STEERING ASSIST DEACTIVATES AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT, AIRBAGS DEACTIVATE, TURN SIGNALS BECOME INOPERABLE, RADIO SHUTS OFF, AIR CONDITIONING SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING SLOW TURNS AS THE POWER STEERING GIVES OUT AND THE TRUCK INSTANTLY BECOMES NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE (UNCONTROLLABLE FOR MY WIFE) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS PERFORM A SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED.
