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.

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.

2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 4WD ~75K MILES. SOMETIMES WHEN I ROLL UP MY WINDOWS OR USE MY BLINKER AND IT SHUTS OFF CRUISE CONTROL (HWY). AND SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM (HWY, CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS). WHEN I'M TURNING SLOWLY (IN PARKING LOTS) THE STEELING WILL OCCASIONALLY LOCK UP AND ONCE IT LOST POWER ENTIRELY. MY BATTERY WAS TESTED AT BIGO AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I'VE SEEN THIS ONLINE A LOT FOR THIS TRUCK AND SIMILAR YEARS, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A RESOLUTION. WITH SO MANY INCIDENTS I'M SHOCKED THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX OR ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG.

INTERMITTENTLY GETTING "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST POWER REDUCED" MESSAGES WHILE TURNING LEFT AT SPEEDS 30MPH OR LESS. EACH TIME I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN AND JERKS. SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS DIED BUT RESTARTED ITSELF. ON 2 OCCASIONS ( THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT AWAY FROM TRAFFIC) THE VEHICLE DIED AFTER THESE MESSAGES AND WOULD NOT RESTART, NO SYSTEMS WOULD RESPOND TO TURNING THE KEY FOR SEVERAL CYCLES. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I ALSO RECEIVED AN ANTI-THEFT MESSAGE AS WELL. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS BUT GM IS NOT LISTING MY VIN AS AN AFFECTED VEHICLE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED

WHILE EXITING HIGHWAY I ATTEMPTED TO COME TO STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF AND I HAD TO PUT HARD PRESSURE INTO BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE A COLLISION OCCURRED. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION ON CITY STREETS, BUT MY BRAKE PEDAL REMAINED EXTREMELY STIFF. I WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS BRAKE ISSUE.
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Dec 4, 2020
THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING, ENGINE AND POWER BRAKING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEMS TO REBOOT AND TURN BACK ON AFTER A SECOND OR TWO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR AFTER HITTING THE TURN SIGNAL. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DOING 50MPH ON THE HIGH JUST BECAUSE I TURNED MY TURN SIGNAL ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 4 WEEKS OR SO. YOU CAN TELL IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS START DEEMING WHEN TAPPING THE BRAKES OR USING THE TURN SIGNAL. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL TEMPERATURES. AFTER IT HAPPENS THE CONSOLE STATES "STABLITRAK IS DISABLED".

EVERYTHING FLASHED AND FLICKERED.

2014-2015 GMC SIERRAS WERE PRODUCED WITH A KNOWN FAULTY A/C CONDENSER WITH A BAD WELD THAT CAUSES AN A/C SYSTEM LEAK REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THERE HAS BEEN AN OVERWHELMING FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO BAD SO THAT IT EVEN MADE THE NEWS. GM BECAME AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SENT NEW (PROPERLY PRODUCED) CONDENSERS TO THEIR PRODUCTION LINES FIRST, LEAVING HUNDREDS OF GMC OWNERS WITHOUT A/C OVER THE SUMMER. THEY PUT OUT A "SPECIAL RECALL" ON A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF VINS SAYING IT "MAY" HAPPEN IN OTHER VINS. THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE (INCLUDING MYSELF) WHERE GM IS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THEIR FAULTY PART FOR HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS REPAIR COST ME A LITTLE OVER $1300. IN THE SAME SERVICE VISIT FOR MY AC CONDENSER IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT MY RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY THERMOSTAT CAUSING STRESS FRACTURES IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED BY GM HOWEVER ONLY A SELECT FEW VIN'S RECEIVED WARRANTY RECALLS. MY TOTAL REPAIR COST TO FIX BOTH ISSUES WAS IN EXCESS OF $4000.
