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.

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.

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.

"TAKATA RECALL" DRIVING TRUCK DOWN INTERSTATE AND IT JUST CUTOFF NO STEERING NO BREAKS ALL POWER SHUTS OFF. I WAIT TILL TRUCK IS STOOPED AND TRY WIGGING KEY AND MAKE SURE GEARSHIFT IS IN RIGHT POSITION. AFTER A FEW MIN LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH AND THE TRUCK WILL START BACK UP. IT SAYS IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA IN DASH LET DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND UP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND BOTH TIMES I WAS ON A INTERSTATE ALMOST HIT BY CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH GOING STRAIGHT MOST TIME IT WOULD DO THIS IF I CHANGE LANES.
Service brakes, Jan 23, 2019
DROVE MY VEHICLE ABOUT 15 MILES AND PARKED IT IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED AND BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT COMPRESS MUCH AT ALL UNLESS I PUSHED ON IT WITH SOME BODY WEIGHT FOR LEVERAGE AND ONLY THEN THE VEHICLE BARELY STOPPED - WAS TRAVELLING AT A VERY LOW SPEED BUT STILL VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN CAREFULLY MOVED THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES TO TEST THE BRAKES AND THE CONDITION REPEATED. I THEN PARKED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY. THE CONDITION PERSISTED WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. I STARTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY IN A LOOP AROUND THE PARKING LOT PUMPING THE BRAKES A COUPLE TIMES AND THE PEDAL FINALLY RETURNED TO NORMAL. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED OR HAD I BEEN TOWING OUR 5K-LB TRAILER THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. READING ONLINE THE ISSUE APPEARS COMMON IN GM TRUCKS FROM 2014 UP AND THE CAUSE WAS OFTEN A FAILING VACUUM PUMP. I LOCATED A COPY OF A SERVICE BULLETIN PUBLISHED INTERNALLY BY GM DISCUSSING THE ISSUE AND PRESCRIBING A REPAIR PROCEDURE. THE BULLETIN NOTED THAT IF ENGINE OIL ESCAPED PAST THE SEAL(S) OF THE FAILING VACUUM PUMP REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, AND VACUUM LINE MAY BE REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO THE PUMP. GIVEN THE APPEARANCE OF THIS AS A COMMON ISSUE, FEAR OF LOSING BRAKES AGAIN, AND FEARING THAT WAITING MAY NECESSITATE OTHER BRAKING COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD NEEDING REPLACEMENT IF THE OIL SEEPED THROUGH THE PUMP, I PROMPTLY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. FOLLOWING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE PRESCRIBED IN THE GM BULLETIN THERE WAS NO ENGINE OIL NOTED IN THE VACUUM LINE SO NO FURTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED OTHER THAN THE PUMP AND GASKET. CONDITION HAS NOT REPEATED AFTER REPLACING PUMP 1K MILES AGO. VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 65K MILES WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE THREE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RADIO SYSTEMS TURNING OFF COMPLETELY, NOT GIVING ACCESS TO RADIO FUNCTIONS, AND STAYS ON AFTER THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. 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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME HARD. I WAS IN MILD TRAFFIC SO I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AROUND 40 MILES MPH ON I 287 I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MY DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND PARTS OF THE PUMP WERE ALSO SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE OIL PAN REMOVED TO REMOVE ANY DEBRIS WHICH WOULD COST AROUND $1100. AT THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE TRUCK BACK OR REPAIR INVOICE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND DID SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE VACUUM PUMPS ON OTHER GMC PICKUPS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE.
