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.

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.

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.

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 DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, A WARNING LIGHT FOR MY POWER STEERING COMES UP ON MY DASH AND IMMEDIATELY I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO PULL MY WHEEL SO I CAN STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TURNING MY TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING IT MY POWER STEERING COMES BACK AND DRIVE IT HOME. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK AND I BRING IT IN. 2 DAYS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM A GET THE SAME WARNING LIGHT AND LOSE MY POWER STEERING AGAIN WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. I TAKE MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I GET MY TRUCK BACK FOR THE 2ND TIME MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN DRIVING DOWN CITY STREET. BRINGING MY TRUCK IN FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS I HAVE TO PAY THEM $142.00 FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. WHY AM I HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ISSUE GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2009?

ON 6/18/18, WHILE TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY AT 40 MILES AN HOUR AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND ENGINE.

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.

WHEN STATIONARY OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE THOSE IN A PARKING LOT OR LEAVING A STOP SIGN. THERE IS A LOUD 'CLUNK' THAT CAN BE HERD AND FELT ABOUT 2/3-3/4 OF THE WAY TO FULL LOCK. IT IS VERY REPEATABLE AND GETTING LOUDER.

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.

GM HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE VACUM PUMP FAILING ON THE 2014 AND UP 1500 SERIES TRUCKS. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLENTIN PIT5361 FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN THE VACUM PUMP FAILS THE BRAKES BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO APPLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT MANY HAVE HAD. MY GMC STARTED THIS AT ABOUT THE 49,500 MILE SPOT AND HAS CAUSED ME TO STRIKE A WALL AND ALMOST A PEDESTRIAN IN A PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY I WAS ON MY TOES AND AVOIDED HITTING THE PEDESTRIAN. IM A BIG MAN AT ABOUT 265LBS. WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL TO WORK I CANT PRESS THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH WITH BOTH FEET TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IM CURRENTLY WAITING ON GM TO RETURN A CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM AS THIS IS A COSTLY FIX. BRAKING IS A VITAL AND HIGH SAFETY FEATURE ON A VEHICLE. WHY THIS HASNT BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE A FAMILY IS KILLED IS BEYOND ME. ISSUING A SERVICE BULLENTINE INSTEAD A RECALL FOR SUCH A VITAL PART A VEHICLE IS RECKLESS.

LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AT LOW SPEED ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC AND PARKING WITH REPEATED APPLICATION OF BRAKES, PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND REQUIRES MUCH PRESSURE TO MAKE VEHICLE STOP, IN REVERSE GRINDING IS ALSO HEARD. MECHANIC SAYS BELT DRIVEN VACUUM PUMP MAY BE DEFECTIVE, OTHER COMPLAINTS AND BULLETINS ARE STATING ALL COMPONENTS MUST BE REPLACED, I WOULD THINK A $58000 TRUCK SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 64K MILES BEFORE NEEDING ALL THE MAJOR BRAKE COMPONENTS CHANGED. IF YOU DON'T HAVE VERY STRONG LEGS WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE GOING TO CRASH..SHOULD BE A RECALL
