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 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.

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 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.

TAKATA RECALL, PARKING ASSIST SENSORS QUIT WORKING. ABS LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE ALERT "SERVICE STABILITRAK". MANUFACTURE FAULTY ELECTRICAL GROUND IS POSSIBLY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE BY OTHER OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE COLLISIONS WHEN DEPENDING ON THIS FEATURE TO WORK.

AT SLOW SPEEDS AND BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRES IMMENSE FORCE (~200LBS) TO PRESS AND ENGAGE BRAKES. SIGNIFICANT GRINDING CAN BE FELT IN THE PEDAL. THIS OFTEN REQUIRES EMERGENCY BRAKE USAGE TO STOP. CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT. OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS IN REVERSE OCCASIONALLY FORWARD WITH WHEEL TURNED OR WITHOUT.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THIS TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE IN MY LANE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM A FIT MALE WITH STRONG ARMS AND IT WAS ALMOST MORE STEERING RESISTANCE THAN I COULD MANAGE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A PERSON WITH VERY MUCH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE, AS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAILED ELECTRIC POWERED RACK AND PINION (STEERING GEAR). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING, AND THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT STEERING GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING, THE HEAD LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE RAIN GETS HARDER AND TURNED THE WIPERS BACK OFF THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR GOES OFF, TRY TURNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BACK ON AND NOTHING. SO WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE IN RAIN WITH SEMI TRUCKS AROUND YOU OR JUST FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE, IF IT IS RACING OR POURING OR WHATEVER THE WEATHER, YOU NEED THE WIPERS TO WORK, THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE ISSUES OF THIS AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FROM BRAND NEW AND STILL ON GOING. RECALLS WERE ONLY POSTED FOR 2 MODELS OF VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PICKUPS AS WELL. THE WIPERS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A SAFE RIDE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE PRICE WE PAY FOR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD BE SAFELY EQUIPPED FOR THIS PRICE.

THE GMC SIERRA TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES SO FAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ERROR WITH THE TRAILER BRAKE. THEN, NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER STEERING. IT IS DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT THAT POINT. IT IS RANDOM. THE TRUCK WILL CONNECT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WILL FUNCTION LIKE NORMAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS COMMUNICATION ERRORS. THE FUSE BLOCK WAS REPLACED FOR ALMOST 600 DOLLARS. THEN, THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AFTER THAT REPAIR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THEIR SHOP FOR 8 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE ERROR SO NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CORP ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE SENIOR ADVISOR ASSIGNED TO MY CASE HAS NOT EVER CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WITH GM WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 DAYS. IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 DAYS. PICKING THE VEHICLE BACK UP FROM THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THAT THE GM ENGINEERS HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE ISSUES BUT NO ONE WILL EVEN CALL ME BACK. THERE IS SOME ELECTRICAL GLITCH THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE ITS POWER STEERING. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 690,000 TRUCKS WERE RECALLED IN 2017 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # 17276 . THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE NECESSARY ITEMS FOR THAT IN 2017. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CURRENTLY HAVE A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE AND GM DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M SURE OTHER TRUCK OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE GM WILL NOT STEP UP AND HANDLE THIS ISSUE. I LOST POWER STEERING ON MAY 14TH, 15TH AND 23RD 2019.

WE DID TRY WORKING WITH GM AND ALSO THE SELLER-AK SALES AND SERVICE TO TRY GET IT FIXED. THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WHATSOEVER. I LOVE IN THE BUSH WHICH MEANS WE HAVE LIMITED ACCESS. IF I WANTED TO GET THIS FIXED I'D HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER I GRAND TO GET MY VEHICLE BARGED TO AMCHORAGE, AK. WHICH I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I STILL OWE OVER 11 GRAND ON MY TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND FAILS TO TURN AND CAN SOMETIMES BE PULLED RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN IT CAUSES THE VHEICLE TO FAIL THE TURN, TURN VERY WIDELY AND FORCES THE VHEILCE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS VEHICLE APPARENTLY HAS A RECALL ON PART OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST, BUT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND GMC WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALL ONE UNIT.

BROUGHT IT TO GMC BEAMAN IN NASHVILLE, TN AND SAW [XXX] (SERVICE ADVISOR FOR BEAMAN AUTOMOTIVE). THEY REPORTED THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $1000 TO FIX IT. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND FINDING THAT GMC'S PARTS (NOT WEAR AND TEAR) ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THE ETIOLOGY OF THE PROBLEM.

THE SEATBELTS IN THE REAR SEATS DO NOT FIT CHILDREN PROPERLY. MY SON IS CURRENTLY THE AGE OF 9 AND IS APPROXIMATELY 100 LBS. SO HE NO LONGER CAN USE A BOOSTER SEAT, HOWEVER THE SEATBELT IS STILL NOT PLACED ACCROSS HIS CHEST APPROPRIATELY WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO HAVE CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT,A S IT IS SAFER FOR THEM, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SLIDING SEATBELT RETRACTOR LIKE THE FRONT SEATS PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I AM HOPEFUL THAT WHEN MANUFACTURERING AN Y NEW MODELS THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED TO MAKE OUR CHILDREN SAFER AS A PASSENGER IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.
