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.

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.

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.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE MASTER CYLINDER IS GONE AND IT IS THE MANUAL TYPE DRUM BRAKES THAT HAS AIR IN THE LINE. IT TAKES EVERYTHING I HAVE TO PRESS THEM AND PRAY IT STOPS!! THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN DETECTING THIS PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE REPEATEDLY IF THE BRAKES ARE PUMP QUICKLY IN SUCCESSION BEFORE APPLYING BRAKES OR WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME THEN YOU RELEASE AND REPRESS IT WANT STOP. ANOTHER ISSUE IS MY LANE ID WARNING. WHEN TURNED ON AT THE BUTTON, IT JUST BEEPS AT ME AND SHOWS SERVICE LIGHT. WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN WITH THE PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND SAID ALL FIXED, BUT IT DID IT BEFORE I LEFT THE PARKING LOT. THEY HAD MY TRUCK ALL DAY FOR THE ISSUE, PUT ME OUT OF A VEHICLE AND THEN SAID THEY WOULD NEED FOR EXTENDED TIME TO REPAIR BUT DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS PROBLEM. HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT DETERMINATION WHEN YOU TOLD ME ITS REPAIRED. I JUST TURNED IT OFF AND HAVEN'T USED IN 2 YEARS.

THIS POST IS ABOUT MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING, I'M CONCERNED OTHERS MAY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM OR IT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. ON AUGUST 29, 2018, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY BY 4PM AFTER RUNNING ERRANDS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. AT 6PM MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND SAW IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. NOTHING WAS LEFT PLUGGED IN AND THERE WAS NOTHING FLAMMABLE IN THE TRUCK. THE FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED AND UPON INSPECTION STATED THE FIRE HAD STARTED IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AND SPREAD TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE LOOK TO BE WIRING THAT OVERHEATED INSIDE THE CONSOLE WHERE THE WIRING CONNECTED TO 2 USB PORTS. GM INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND FOUND THERE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE. IRONICALLY, THEIR 3RD PARTY "EXPERT" FIRE INVESTIGATOR WAS NOT AWARE THERE WAS A WIRING HARNESS LOCATED BEHIND THE USB PORTS AND HAD TO BE SHOWN THEIR LOCATION. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT. I'M ASKING THEM TO LOOK INTO THE 12V POWER OUTLET POSSIBLY OVERHEATING AS I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO HAD THEIRS OVERHEAT IN THEIR 2018 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE DAY AFTER THE FIRE I SENT PHOTOS TO THEM AND THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DAMAGE. WHEN I TOLD THEM THE OUTCOME OF GM'S INVESTIGATION THEY WERE DUMBFOUNDED. I'M FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT AM AFRAID THIS MAY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I MADE A 40K + INVESTMENT WITH GM AND LITERALLY "WAS BURNED". I WANT OTHER TO BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE DANGER. I DID EXPECT GM TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMER (I'VE BOUGHT 8 GM VEHICLES), BUT IT APPEARS THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR WON OUT. THANKFULLY, IN MY CASE, NO ONE WAS HURT.

ROOF ANTENNA LEAKING AFTER 2.5 YEARS THE ROOF MOUNT ANTENNA FOR XM RADIO STARTED LEAKING INTO HEADLINER CAUSES RADIO TO GET INTERMITTENT SIGNAL. LEAK TRAVELS DOWN DRIVER SIDE PILLAR INTO DASH BOARD WHICH WILL CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTING AND FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE ANTENNA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE AT THERE EXPENSE. CONTACTED GM WHO ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE IT. THIS WAS A $60,000 TRUCK LESS THAN 3YRS OLD. IT GOT MY ATTENTION BECAUSE I USE XM RADIO AND LOST RECEPTION. THERE MUST BE MANY MORE WITH THIS PROBLEM WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T USE XM RADIO. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HAVING A LEAK TRAVELING DOWN INTO DASHBOARD WHAT ELSE IS AFFECTED AIR BAGS, LIGHTS, BRAKES ETC. THE DESIGN OF THIS IS AWFUL GMC IS EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT NOT RECALLING ON THIS PROBLEM

VEHICLE HAD A FIRE STARTING IN THE DASHBOARD AREA BEHIND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER I THINK. IT TOOK LESS THAN 15 MINUTES FROM THE SMELL OF AND ISSUE TO FLAMES VISIBLE. I NOTICED THE GAUGES BECOMING ERRATIC THAN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH WHAT FELT LIKE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE KICKING IN AND OUT FOLLOWED BY THE MOTOR RUNNING POORLY. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AS THE SMOKE STARTED. THAN DIALED 911.. TROOPER WAS THERE IN 6 MINUTES WITH FIRE DEPARTMENT SHORTLY AFTER. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH. THERE WERE QUITE A FEW POTHOLES AS THIS WAS WINTER TIME. LIGHTS WERE ON, CRUISE WAS ON, HEATED SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL WERE ON, RADIO WAS ON, PHONE AND LAPTOP WERE CHARGING ( LAPTOP UTILIZING 110 OUTLET IN TRUCK).

AC CONDENSER UNIT STARTS LEAKING AND VEHICLE AC STOPS BLOWING COOL AIR. THIS MAY ONLY SEEM LIKE A INCONVENIENCE, BUT HERE IN THE SOUTH SUMMERS ARE UNBEARABLE WITHOUT AC. OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLES COULD EASILY SUCCUMB TO HEAT EXHAUSTION. IT COULD BE DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO KEEP SWEAT OUT OF HIS OR HER EYES. THIS INCONVENIENCE COULD LEAD TO DISTRACTED/DISGRUNTLED DRIVING. THERE ARE ACTUALLY A NUMBER OF REASON THAT THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THE SITUATION. I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT MY AC WASN'T WORKING UNTIL MY VEHICLE HAD 37,000 MILES ON IT. I'M POSITIVE THAT IT TOOK LONGER THAN THE FEW DAYS BETWEEN ME BEING AT 36,000 AND 37,000 MILES FOR THE REFRIGERANT TO COMPLETELY EXIT THE SYSTEM AND THE AIR TO NOT WORK. GM HAS OFFERED A HALF-HEARTED GOODWILL REPAIR THAT IS STILL JUST SHY OF $600. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR GM FOR YEARS AND IS NOT ONLY NEGLIGENT, SELLING ME THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 ESSENTIALLY CONSTITUTES FRAUD.

THE AIR CONDITION CONDENSOR IS LEAKING AND THEREFORE CAUSED THE AC NOT WORK. WE HAVE PURCHASED A NEW CONDENSOR TO REPLACE IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Other or unspecified, Nov 30, 2017
AT 50,000 MILES, AND 24 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT NEW, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A FAULTY CONDENSER. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN EXTREMELY HIGH FAILURE RATE OF GMC TRUCKS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT PER SEVERAL GM DEALERS WHO ARE LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. A BRACKET TO SECURE THE A/C LINE WAS NEVER INSTALLED WHEN VEHICLE WAS BUILT, CAUSING MOVEMENT IN THE LINE WHICH EVENTUALLY CAN RUIN THE CONDENSER, AC LINE AND COMPRESSOR. I ASKED GM DEALER TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE BEST THAT GM WAS WILLING TO DO WAS TO PAY 40% OF THE REPAIR BILL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS THE DEFECT IS WIDESPREAD IN MANY OF THEIR LIGHT TRUCKS

REF. COMPLAINT # 11013360. ONCE AGAIN, AT 14,842 MILES, I WAS COASTING AFTER TURNING INTO A LONG DRIVEWAY, I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE.. THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE TRUCK ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS TIME, IN THE SECURITY OF MY DRIVEWAY, I DID NOT TOUCH THE GEAR SHIFT AS I HAD IN TIMES BEFORE. THIS TIME I JUST TRIED PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS WHERE THE ENGINE JUST REVVED.THE GEAR FINALLY "CAUGHT AFTER THE FOURTH ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE". ONCE AGAIN, I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NOR COULD THEY DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE, I NEED SOMETHING DONE! I AM DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO WYOMING IN ONE MONTH. I AM VERY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THIS TRUCK AS I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE ME TO CRASH. I HAVE NOT HEARD A RESPONSE FROM YOU SINCE FIRST REPORTING THIS PROBLEM 8/7/2017.

MARCH 2017, AT 10,881 MILES I ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR, LOST POWER, LIKE IT SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I TRIED SEVERAL GEARS, MULTIPLE TIMES, BEFORE BEING ABLE TO FINALLY GET THE MANUAL GEAR TO GET ME HOME.LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLEANED UP THE TRANSMISSION OF BROKEN METAL PARTS. 2,500 MILES LATER, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER TURNING INTO A LONG DRIVEWAY, AGAIN NO POWER. I TRIED SEVERAL GEARS AS BEFORE AND THE MANUAL GEAR GOT ME TO THE HOUSE.THE ENGINE WAS WORKING AND RPMS REVVED, AND JUST LIKE BEFORE, FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. DEALERSHIP WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN CHECKED MY TRUCK FOR THE GM RECALL #14192, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 14V374000, BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I THINK THAT THE BROKEN PARTS FOUND THE FIRST TIME WAS AN INCIDENTAL FINDING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE. DURING ALL THIS THERE HAS BEEN SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES IE: WEAK SOUNDING BUZZERS WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR, INTERNAL LIGHTS EITHER STAYING ON OR NOT COMING ON AT ALL, AND INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH REMOTE START. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2016, 6 WEEKS BEFORE HE DIED, SO THIS TRUCK HAS A LOT OF SENTIMENT, HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE. THE FEAR OF BEING T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION, OR SUDDENLY LOSING POWER IN 70MPH TRAFFIC IS TERRIFYING! I AM MOVING FROM SC TO WYOMING IN 6 WEEKS AND AM SCARED TO DEATH I AM GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE GM COMPLAINT DEPT. SERVICE CASE # 83120854028. THE ONLY PAPERWORK I HAVE ARE THE SERVICE RECORDS FROM THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP.

A WEEK LATER AFTER BUYING A NEW 2015 GMC SIERRA DELANI FROM ED MORSE GMC 'SAWGRASS I TOOK IT TO A TRUCK ACCESSORY COMPANY TO ORDER A NEW BED (TONNEAU) COVER. THEY TOOK THE ORDER AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE SERVICE PARTS IDENTIFICATION LABEL, LOCATED IN THE TRUCK GLOVE BOX FOR THE PURPOSE OF ORDERING THE PART AND COLOR. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE TRUCK THAT IDENTIFIES THE PARTS AND COLOR FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I AM ENCLOSING A PICTURE FOR YOUR REVIEW. TEN DAYS LATER THE COVER ARRIVED AND WHEN I WENT TO THE COMPANY TO HAVE IT INSTALLED, THEY REMOVED THE WRAPPING TO SHOW ME THE COVER AND WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT COLOR. THE COVER WAS WHITE INSTEAD OF BLACK. THE COMPANY MANAGER CHECKED THE ORDER TWICE TO VERIFY THAT THEY HAD ORDERED IT CORRECTLY AND THAT HAD THE CORRECT DECAL INFORMATION. THIS IS WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE CODE INFORMATION IN THE SERVICE PARTS IDENTIFICATION LABEL IN MY TRUCK WAS INCORRECT, THE CODE FOR THE PAINT SAID WHITE NOT ONYX BLACK AS THE COLOR OF MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID WE CAN RE-ORDER THE TOP IN THE RIGHT COLOR, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REFUND YOUR DEPOSIT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT BUT GMC. WE CONTACTED GMC ON 2/11 TALKED TO SHELLY AND SHE SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP US; THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT A MANAGER ON THE PHONE. THEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO HAD SOLD US THE TRUCK, ED MORSE GMC-SAWGRASS, FL. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT HAD CONTACTED GMC BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE WRONG SERVICE PART DECAL WE WANT GMC TO FIX THIS PROBLEM REPLACING THE DECAL BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IN THIS DECAL IS VITAL TO ORDER CORRECT PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WE KNOW THAT SOONER OR LATER WE ARE GOING TO NEED THE CORRECT INFORMATION. IF THEY CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE TRUCK.
