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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 24, 2019
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.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. 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.

DRIVING VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO POWER WHATSOEVER, UNABLE TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS. DISCONNECTED BATTERY NEUTRAL AND HOT FOR ABOUT 10-15 MIN. RECONNECTED AND IT STARTED BACK UP. THERE WAS A DASHBOARD MESSAGE TO ROLL DRIVING WINDOW UP AND DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT ONLY WHEN STARTING, NEVER WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN FORWARD MOTION! IN THE PAST I HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE NO CRANK NO START AND FOR $400 I UPDATED THE BCM. TYPICALLY, WITH NO CRANK NO START, I WOULD DISCONNECT BATTERY NEUTRAL FOR 10 MINUTES, RECONNECT AND START UP SLOWLY, IE: TURN IGNITION TO ON, WAIT 1 MIN THEN CRANK IT TO START. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE OCCASIONAL NO CRANK NO START, BUT THE IDEA THAT THIS HAPPENED IN DRIVE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!

ALL HAPPENED SAME DAY. WAS 8 HOURS FROM HOME AND PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR 3 TIMES. HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE. BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE AIR STARTED BLOWING WARM AND THE SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST CAME ON BRIEFLY. STILL AIR IS BLOWING WARM AND THE SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST COMES ON. HAVE NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I AM HAVING IT CHECKED OUT THIS WEEK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE STABILITRACK" MESSAGE APPEARS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, THE CAR LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND MAINTAIN SPEED. I KEPT DRIVING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP, AND AFTER A FEW MILES THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED THEN LOCKED, THE INFO SCREEN FLASHED AND THEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND APPEARED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. SEVERAL MILES LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, OVER AND OVER. WHEN I REACHED MY NIEGHBORHOOD THE CAR COMPLETELY POWERED OFF.

MY 2014 GMC SIERRA SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY. IN SOME CASES ALL ELECTRICAL BLINKS AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE WHILE TEMPORARILY LOSING POWER STEERING AND OTHER FEATURES AND OTHER TIMES TURNING OFF COMPLETELY UNTIL COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ~$400 TO DO DIAGNOSTICS ON A G218 BOLT THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY GMC THAT IT IS RELATED TO. THIS ISSUE CAME FROM THE FACTORY THIS WAY. WHILE NOT WANTING TO PAY THAT FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND RESEARCHING MYSELF, I FOUND 100S OF VIDEOS ONLINE SIMILAR TO THE ONE BELOW WHICH SHOWS THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO OWNERS OF THE GMC TRUCKS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH GMC CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE TRUCK OWNERS THAT LOSE THEIR LIFE ALONG WITH ANY PASSENGERS IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT TAKEN CARE. I AM VERY SCARE FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF COUNTLESS OTHERS LIKE THE LINK BELOW HAVE POSTED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE DEALER (WIERS CHEVROLET CADILLAC GMC, 416 S HALLECK ST, DE MOTTE, IN 46310, (219) 987-5555) INDICATED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD NOT PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER APPROVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

22014 SIERRA 1500 4X4 HAS TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AT LOW SPEEDS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, BRAKES, DASHBOARD AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS. 6TH EVENT OF THIS NATURE. MOST RECENT WAS ON A DOWNTOWN STREET IN BRIGHTON MI. TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE TRUCK STALLED. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK WE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND ONCE AGAIN A FULL POWER FAILURE. IT WAS RESTARTED AFTER 5-10 MINUTES BUT WE NEED HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. AND SO DO A LOT OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS FROM THE COMPAINTS WE HAVE READ. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK IN FOR THE STABILITY TRACK RECALL. THE DAY AFTER THEY SERVICED THE RECALL THE TRUCK STARTED THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WE TOOK IT BACK TO FELDMAN CHEVROLET BUT THEY JUST SAID TO WATCH IT. WE ARE TAKING IT BACK TOMORROW. AUGUST 14, 2018.

ON MAKING A TURN AT LOW SPEED, MY ENGINE HAS CUT OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD FULL LOSS OF ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING ,AC, RADIO. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO GET TO SAFETY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 20 DAYS.TWICE IN CITY TRAFFIC, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY, TURNING OFF FOR GAS. THE "SERVICE STEERING ASSIST" LIGHT APPEARED. I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AT A LOCAL ELECTRIC REPAIR SHOP, FOR $170.00. THE TECH FOUND NOTHING AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK TO HIS COMPUTER. THE DAY I RETRIEVED MY TRUCK FROM THE ELECTRICAL SHOP, I STOPPED IN WALMART FOR GROCERIES. MY KEY FOB WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK MY DOORS. I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE TRUCK TO DETERMINE THAT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AT ALL. NO PANEL/ INTERIOR LIGHTS, NO RESPONSE IN IGNITION,NO AUTOMATIC UNLOCKING, THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ROADSIDE SERVICE CAME TO TOW IT, AND THE TRUCK WAS JUMPSTARTED FROM HIS BATTERY PACK. THE KEY FOB BEGAN TO WORK, UNLOCKING,ETC. I TOWED THE TRUCK HOME. I HAVE VIN CHECKED MY TRUCK AND THERE ARE NONE BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICULAR FAILURE REFERS TO GM PART 573 SAFETY RECALL 17V-414 REGARDING THE LOSS OF EPS. A SECONDARY RECALL WHICH MAY APPLY IS GM# 14V26000 RE STEERING LINKAGES, TIE ROD ASSEMBLY.AS THE "STEER ASSIST' ALERT WAS WHAT I SAW. I HAVE THE WORK INVOICE FROM THE ELECTRICAL SHOP, IF NEEDED.

I TEMPORARILY HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROACHING A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION I MERGED INTO THE CENTER OF ST TO PASS A TRASHCAN AND IN THE PROCESS OF RETURNING TO MY CORRECT POSITION ON THE ROAD I SUDDENLY HAD NO STEERING. PANICKING FROM THE LOSS I PRESSED MY BRAKES AN ATTEMPT TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE TIRES BEGAN A SLIDE ONCE NOTICING THE TRACTION LOSS I PROCEEDED TO RELEASE BRAKES AND REAPPLY IN HOPES OF GAINING TRACTION THE BRIEF RELIEF FROM BRAKES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN TRACTION AND WHILE I STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER STEERING, THE VEHICLE JERKS TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES BEING REAPPLIED THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SLIDE OFF PAVEMENT MAKING CONTACT WITH STOP SIGN AND TELEPHONE POLE.

DURING DRIVING, THE STABILITY SENSORS WOULD GO OFF AND SHOW UP STATING STABILITY TURNED OFF, OR POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. THE VOLTAGE ON VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY DROP FROM 15 TO 9 AND THEN BACK UP. THIS WILL USUALLY TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER 2014 SIERRA AND SILVERADO OWNERS AND THEY ALL ADVISED THIS WAS OCCURING ON THEIR VEHICLES. THERE IS A GROUND WIRE THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED UNDER THE DASH WHICH CAUSES HIGH RESISTANCE MATERIAL TO CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DURING ONE OF MY DRIVES TO WORK GOING 60 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHILE COASTING ON NO POWER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO GO. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK WHILE STATIONARY AS WELL. AFTER MANY FORUM DISCUSSION THIS ALL RELATED BACK TO THE GROUND WIRE NOT BEING PROPERLY INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Electrical system, Dec 14, 2017
SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED AND ALL ELECTRONICS WENT BLACK. THIS CAUSED A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND JERK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS WELL. ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND RESTART. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THAT THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC IN THESE MOMENTS, AS THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE REALLY FRUSTRATING PART IS THAT AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED AND STATED THAT IT WAS A BATTERY CABLE OF SOME SORT THAT WAS MELTING OVER THE EXHAUST. THIS WAS PUBLISHED AS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITHIN THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, NOT A RECALL OR WARRANTY (47,000 MILES). HOW CAN A KNOWN DESIGN PROBLEM ON A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE THAT CAUSES A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING NOT BE A RECALL OR SAFETY VIOLATION OF SOME SORT? I HOPE THIS DOES NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS. THANK YOU

2014 GMC SIERRA CURRENTLY WITH 45,000 MILES. VEHICLE SPENT 40+ DAYS AT DEALERSHIP IN 2016 FOR VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 69-72 MPH THEY COULD NOT FIX DURING 6 DIFFERENT SERVICE VISITS. IT WAS UNDER 3 YEAR/36K MILE WARRANTY AT THE TIME. BEGAN AT 22,000 MILES. IN NOV. 2017 VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING POWER STEERING AT SPEEDS UNDER 3 MPH, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE. ALSO SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON RANDOMLY AT LOW SPEEDS. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT BUT IS NOW BECOMING AN ALMOST DAILY OCCURRANCE. AFRAID THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS ALREADY. RADIO HAS ALSO TURNED OFF ON ITS ON ABOUT 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 60 DAYS. IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS RE-STARTED. RELATED OR UNRELATED, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL I NOTICE A 1/2 SECOND DIMMING OF HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS BEFORE THEY RETURN TO NORMAL BRIGHTNESS. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED FINE BY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS VEHICLE VIN IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY RECALLS. DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO REPLACE POWER STEERING GEAR FOR $2,500 WHICH THEY "THINK" MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. DON'T WANT TO SPEND $2,500 WITHOUT CERTAINTY IT IS THE PROBLEM.

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE HAD A POWER PROBLEM ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTHING WAS ON AND ENGINE WOULDN'T CRANK. I WOULD GET OUT OF MY TRUCK AND WIGGLE THE NEGATIVE LINE ON THE BATTERY AND THE TRUCK WOULD REGAIN POWER. I CLEANED OFF ALL CORROSION (NOT ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT)THAT WAS ON THE CONNECTER. YESTERDAY AS I WAS TAKING A TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COST INTO A SAFE SPOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN POPED THE HOOD AND OPENED THE DOOR. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I CLOSED THE DOOR STARTED THE TRUCK AND HEADED TO MY HOUSE. I AM HAVING MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY OR A MAIN ROAD IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I HAVE DOON SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A NUMBER OF VIDEOS AND FORUMS ON THIS SUBJECT AND IT SEEMS TO BE ON GM TRUCKS FROM 2014-2017. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, BUT I WORK IN IT AND AM VERY GOOD AT REASEARCH AND TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES. MY INSTINCT IS TELLING ME IT IS THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY.

WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE, IT ACTS AS IF THE BATTERY IS DRAINED. THEN THERE'S A MESSAGE THAT POPS UP BRIEFLY STATING "STABILITRAK". I'M CONCERNED THIS IS ABOUT TO GET MUCH WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE MESSAGE.
