Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorJul 1, 2021
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy is available. Phase I owner notification letters were mailed on May 5, 2022. Phase II owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

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.

If the end cap separates from the inflator, the compressed gas will escape and the end cap can be propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the RRAB modules on the left and/or right side, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on December 22, 2020.

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.

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.

TRUCK CONTINUES TO LOSE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN BACKING/PULLING TRAILER. TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR BRAKE RECALL AND NO CHANGE TO BRAKING. CONSISTENTLY LOOSES BRAKING WHEN PARALLEL PARKING OR BACKING INTO PARKING SPOTS ALONG WITH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES GO OUT AND YOU MUST STAND ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS BRAKING ISSUE HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY.
Service brakes, Sep 11, 2020, crash
THE BRAKES FAILED AS MY SON APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE DRIVER REPORTED THAT HE PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER I INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR AN EXPLANANTION,I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HIS BRAKE SYSTEM THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN BRAKE FAILURE. THE CRASH OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET.
Steering, Service brakes, Engine, Aug 29, 2020
THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME IN THE CITY CROSSING AN INTERSECTION USUALLY AT SLOW SPEED BRAKING AND TURNING AND ALL THE SUDDEN I LOSE EVERYTHING. NO STEERING ELECTRICAL AND BRAKING. THE PARK ASSIST WILL SOMETIMES START GOING OFF LIKE CRAZY JUST BEFORE IT HAPPENS, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. PUT IN PARK AND OPEN THE DOOR IT COMES BACK ON. THEN SAYS ROLL DOWN DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND THEN BACK UP. AT ON TIME I DID HAVE IT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GETTING READY TO PASS AND GIVING IT GAS AND EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN TOOK OFF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHEN BRAKING AND GETTING READY TO TURN. MY TRUCK IS SHOWING STABILITRAK SERVICE INTERMITTENTLY AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN A CRASH 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. THE VEHICLE ONLY RESTARTS AFTER PLACING IN PARK. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RECALLS AND NO KNOWN CAUSE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF GM DOESN'T FIX THIS. I'VE BEEN ON FORUMS AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM IF IT IS SO COMMON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STEERING BRAKING AND POWER TO THE TRUCK.

HAVING DIFFICULTY BREAKING DURING ON AND OFF PARKING MODE IN A STATIONARY POSITION. WHEN I REVERSE OR MOVE FORWARD AFTER CHANGING TO EITHER REVERS OR DRIVE GEAR MY TRUCK SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER TO BREAK, AND ALMOST FEEL THAT I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ITS KINDA SCARY TO BE HONEST NOT HAVING CONTROL OF THE BREAKS. THE BREAKS DO BETTER WHEN I'M DRIVING LIKE IN THE EXPRESSWAY WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, WHEN I PARK IN THE HOUSE OR IN A GENERAL PARKING LOT MY TRUCK ANTILOCK SYSTEM DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK VERY WELL. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN MY TRUCK FOR A RECALL SERVICE AT A GMC DEALER KNOWN AS LUKE FRUIA IN BROWNSVILLE TEXAS 78521 BUT DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE. FEELS LIKE THEY JUST DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALREADY TOOK THE TRUCK TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND SAID THAT THE BREAK FINE SO I THINK ITS THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM NOT WORKING. IM SCARED DRIVING THE TRUCK AND FEAR I MIGHT GET INTO A COLLISION OR CRASH DUE TO MY ANTILOCK BREAKS NOT WORKING APPROPRIATELY. TO BE HONEST, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SO I HAVE BEEN USING MY TOYOTA CAR. PLEASE, NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU
