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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

EquipmentApr 26, 2018
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2009-2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD, 2009 GMC Topkick 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series and Isuzu F Series, and 2009-2018 Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana vehicles, equipped with certain Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began June 11, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638. GM's number for this recall is 18146.

Air bags, frontalJul 10, 2017
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. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist, especially during low-speed turning maneuvers.
If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-432-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17276.

In the affected vehicles, 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.

Seat beltsApr 12, 2016
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks manufactured January 29, 2013, to January 21, 2015. While entering the vehicle, the seat belt tensioner cable may be positioned such that the driver slides over it. This movement may result in the fatigue and separation of the cable.
If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will modify the vehicles to prevent the tensioner from being damaged. Any tensioner that has already been damaged will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15822.

AIR CONDENSER FAILURE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SUBURBANS, YUKONS AND TAHOES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND SAME PARTS, HOWEVER NOT FOR THE SILVERADO AND SIERRAS OF THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY FROM GM/CHEVY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ACROSS THE US REGARDING THIS TOPIC ALONE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE THIS TYPE OF FAILURE ON A 4.5 YEAR OLD TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ORIGINAL COST OF THE TRUCK IS $50,000.

I HAVE A LEAK IN THE A/C CONDENSER. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THERE ARE STORIES WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS SO WIDE SPREAD. AT ONE POINT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER, THAT IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD ISSUES. JUST CONTACTED GM AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. YET ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVEN YOUR WEBSITE, THERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT DEATH'S FROM HEAT RISING. SO A DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME- HERE ARE THE MANY STORIES WRITTEN ON THE ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.NBCCHICAGO.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/GM-AIR-CONDITIONING-RESPONDS-439572983.HTML HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/2014-2018-GMT-K2-110/2014-SILVERADO-AC-PROBLEMS-ALREADY-67170/PAGE8/ HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2018/GM-AC-COMPRESSOR-CONDENSER-PROBLEMS-LAWSUIT.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/3768/OWNERS-2014-CHEVROLET-SILVERADOS-WANT-FEDERAL-TRADE-COMMISSION-FORCE-RECALL-THEIR-AIR-CONDITIONING-PROBLEMS HTTP://WWW.RADIATORHELPLINE.COM/2017/06/2014-2017-CHEVY-GM-CONDENSER-WIDESPREAD-FAILURE.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERCLASSLAWYERSBLOG.COM/BUNCH-HOT-AIR-AC-GMC-CHEVY-TRUCKS-SIMPLY-NOT-WORK/

THE DOOR LOCKS DONT ALWAYS LOCK. MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND FELL ASLEEP, WHILE ASLEEP HE BUMPED THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR OPENED WHILE WE WERE GOING 50 MPH., LUCKY HE HAD THE SEAT BELT ON. THE DOOR SHOULD NOT HAVE OPENED AS THE LOCK SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR AND MADE THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS THE PROBLEM, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE REPLACED. YOU DONT KNOW THEY DONT WORK BECAUSE THEY MAKE A LOCKING SOUND WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY JUST DONT LOCK, VERY DANGEROUS GLAD HE DIDNT FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS WHILE PARKING THAT MY BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP IF USED REPEATEDLY. WHILE GETTING SERVICE DONE I HAD ASKED IF THEY NOTICED ANYTHING AND THEY HAD SAID NO. THEY HAVE KNOW RECOGNIZED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT ARE LIMITING THE FIX TO 72000 MILES WHICH I AM 3K OVER. THEY SAID I HAVE NEVER FORMALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SO I DISQUALIFY FOR THE $ 540.00 REPAIR. YET THEY RECOGNIZE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID A FORMAL RECALL.

NOW THE ISSUE IS CROSSING OVER TO THE DRIVER CLUSTER CONTROL MODULE WHERE IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY AND RESTARTS ON ITS OWN WHILE I'M DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER GIVEN ME A SOLUTION OR HAVE CONTACTED ME SINCE THEN. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT ON GOING ISSUE, THEY STATED THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP EVEN AFTER I EXPLAINED IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. THEY REFUSED TO LISTEN AND LOOK UP PRIOR SERVICE HISTORY. DID PRIOR RESEARCH AND LOCATED AN ARTICLE THAT RADIO AND CLUSTER WERE GOING TO BE PART OF A RECALL BUT GM CLAIMED IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE.

MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 HAS A AIR CONDITIONING LEAK IN THE CONDENSER FOR THE 2ND TIME. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 48,000 MILES (2 YRS OLD) AND NOW AGAIN AT 92,000 (4YRS OLD). THE FIRST TIME THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ONE AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. I PAID $600 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1000.00 FOR THE SAME THING. HOWEVER THEY ARE WILLING TO CUT ME A BREAK DOWN TO $699. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO A LEAK IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THERE STANDARD WARRANTY IS 1 YR ON PARTS SO THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. UPON DOING SOME INTERNET SEARCHES THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE UPLOADED PAPERWORK IS INCORRECT.

A/C CONDENSER AND HOSE DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION AND CEASE WORKING. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS MODELS BUT GMC REFUSES TO TO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. ITEMS NEEDED TO REPAIR ARE OUT OF STOCK CAUSING LONG DELAYS IN GETTING REPAIR. DRIVING IN THE EXTREME HEAT IN SOCAL WITH SMALL CHILDREN IS NOT SAFE. WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR AGENCY TO HELP IN PROTECTING THE CONSUMER BY STANDING UP TO GMC / CHEVY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FAULTY MANUFACTURING. THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN TN I BELIEVE AND COUNTLESS SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM YET IT REMAINS THE BURDEN OF THE CONSUMER TO NOT ONLY PAY OUT OF POCKET BUT TO WAIT FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE PARTS ARE OUT OF STOCK. 1ST QUOTE WAS $1600, THEN GMC SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR A PORTION BRINGING THE COSTS DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY $700. ITS A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST. DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ON GMC AC PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL SEE THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ME. WE'VE ONLY OWNED GMC CARS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE AND HAVE PUT OVER 150K MILES ON IT. PLEASE HELP.

AC CONDENSER FAILED. WHEN RESEARCHED ON-LINE FOUND PAGES OF OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE...ALWAYS CRACKS IN THE SAME CORNER. GMC WOULD NOT WARRANTY. WANTED TO CHARGE $1,300 TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY CONDENSER. EVEN THE SERVICE DPMT ADMITTED IT WAS AN ISSUE. ENDED UP PAYING ABOUT HALF THAT, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS GM HAS A FAULTY COMPONENT AND THEY ARE HOPING THEY FAIL JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. AN AC CONDENSER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD EVER (OR VERY, VERY RARELY) GET REPLACED IN THE NORMAL LIFE OF A VEHICLE, CERTAINLY NOT BEFORE A 100,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL AND UPDATED OR AT LEAST IT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THOSE THAT FAIL DURING THE NORMAL LIFE CYCLE OF THE VEHICLE.
