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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE STEERING BECAUSE OF A BINDING/CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE NOISE AT THAT TIME. AROUND 17.000 MILES, THE NOISE HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO LOCATE IT AND REPLACED THE STEERING BOX AS WELL AS THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. AGAIN, A LITTLE AFTER 30,000 MILES THE NOISE WAS BACK BUT INTERMITTENT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HEAR IT AND SAID THE STEERING WAS FINE. YESTERDAY, WITH 40,000 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS SOMETHING IS BINDING INSIDE ON THE REPLACEMENT STEERING BOX. GM IS DENYING THIS ISSUE YET MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2014 GMC SIERRA HAVE OR HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONE TECHNICIAN EVEN TOLD ME HIS STEERING GEAR BOX ON HIS 2014 1500 SIERRA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLEY FAILED. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ELECTRONIC GEAR BOX WAS INTRODUCED IN 2014 AND CHANGED FOR A DIFFERENT STEERING BOX IN 2015 MODELS. AN APPARENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
