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.

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.

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.

FIRST INSTANCE: (THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO BE REPAIRED) WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35MPH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN IT POWERED BACK UP EVERYTHING WAS RESET AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A "LOOSE GROUND WIRE" UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD AND ATTRIBUTED THE OCCURRENCE TO THIS. SECOND OCCURRENCE: (LESS THAN A MONTH LATER AND HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES) WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROX. 70MPH AND AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN IT POWERED BACK UP EVERYTHING WAS RESET AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY JUST MOMENTS LATER AT A MORE MODERATE SPEED, AGAIN WITH ZERO WARNING. DEALERSHIP NOW STATES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL WIRE & HARNESS.

THE REPAIR PEOPLE FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL IN 2014 FOR GMC SIERRA'S, BUT OURS WASN'T LISTED. A RADIATOR SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE SPECIFIC SPECIAL COVERAGE # 15829 STATED THAT CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT MAY RESULT IN STRESS FRACTURES OF THE RADIATOR. THE REPAIR PEOPLE FELT THIS WAS WHAT HAPPENED. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE IN TOWN AND NOT TRAVELING. WE CONTACTED GMC DIRECTLY TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ACTUALLY TOLD US TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE.

STEERING WHEEL SPRINGS/SNAPS (HARD) IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT THE WHEEL IS BEING TURNED AND STEERING CONTROL IS LOST. WHEN THIS DOES NOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS DOES CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF THE STEERING IS RESTORED WITH THE RESTART. THE STABILI TRAK INDICATOR APPEARS JUST FOR AN INSTANT ON THE DIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE 'SERVICE STABILI TRAK' INDICATOR BUT MORE LIKE STABILI TRAK HAS BEEN ACTIVATED INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. (THREE TIMES IN REVERSE). THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IN DRIVE, TWICE WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND ONCE WHILE DOING 15-20 MPH TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE 15-20 MPH TURNING INSTANCE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF, STEERING BECAME NON EXISTENT FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN VERY VERY HEAVY. I CROSSED THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WHILE BACKING A TRAILER AND TURNING. THE STABILTRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN THE TRUCK DIED. LATER WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRACK LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND THE DIC WOULD GO BLACK. THE A.C. WOULD ALSO GO OUT AND COME BACK ON. IT WOULD ALSO DO THIS WHEN TURNING ON THE SIGNAL LIGHT OR STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT TODAY DRIVING SLOWLY AND THE ST MESSAGE CAME THEN THE DIC WENT BLACK AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT STARTED JERKING BACK AND PULLED OUT OF MY HAND. IT SEEMS THAT SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING SOLVES THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS. I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF GM AND ALL I HAVE EVER OWNED WERE GM VEHICLES, BUT THIS ISSUE IS MAKING ME WONDER IF I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD INSTEAD. IT SEEMS THAT GM IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT RECALLING BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING, AND MY WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT.
