Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorSep 24, 2026
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles, and 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The left-side or right-side roof rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace both RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262569920. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 24, 2026.

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.

Child seat, tether, connector/clipAug 3, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The owner's manual for the affected vehicles may be missing instructions on how to use the tether anchorage and child restraint anchorage systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

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.

THE PAST MONTH AS I PUSH ON THE BRAKES DRIVING ON THE ROAD MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AS THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME HAS ACTUALLY ONLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A MONTH.

WHILE BRAKING PEDAL FEELS LIKE GURGLING AND AT TIMES COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST MAKING PEDAL VERY HARD TO DEPRESS ALL WERE IN MOTION AND INTERMITTENT MAKING DEALER DIAGNOSIS DIFFICULT AND NOT YET ABLE TO REPLICATE SO DEALER REFUSES TO DO WORK
Service brakes, Oct 20, 2019
LOST BRAKE ASSIST. COMING TO A STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WHET TO THE FLOOR AND THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES STARTED CHATTERING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND TOOK 2 FEET TO STOP. I WAS ON A 170 MILE TRIP AND ALMOST HIT SOMEONE 2 TIMES.
Service brakes, Oct 14, 2019
ORIGINAL ISSUE: BRAKE PEDAL HARD TO PUSH AND TRUCK DID NOT STOP NORMALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. COULD REPRODUCE ISSUE USUALLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME IF I HADN'T USED EBRAKE. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. UPON PICKUP I DISCOVERED THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PERSISTED AND NOW HAD AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE. NOW AT ALMOST EVERY BRAKE EVENT, THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AND CAUSE THE BRAKE PETAL TO CHATTER/VIBRATE. DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT WAS NORMAL AFTER THE RECALL UPDATE. I TOLD THEM THAT COULDN'T BE NORMAL. IT WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE. AFTER NOT EXCEPTING THAT AS A FIX, THE DEALERSHIP STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER POSSIBILITY'S. AFTER TELLING THE DEALER I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE TRUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP. THE NEW VACUUM PUMP FIXED BOTH ISSUES! I'M JUST SAYING IF THE RECALL UPDATE IS CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS THEN WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO FIX. NOW THERE COULD BE A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE GM IS TRYING TO HIDE A BIG PROBLEM.
Service brakes, Oct 8, 2019
FOR NHTSA RECALL 19V645, WHY DID NHTSA ACCEPT A 'REPROGRAMMING' OF THE FUNCTIONALITY TO 'BAND AID' THE ISSUE RATHER THAN REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE VACUUM PUMP, WHICH IS THE IDENTIFIED DEFECTIVE ITEM?
Service brakes, Sep 27, 2019
I HAS SOME ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AND ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE MY PADS WORN DOWN SO I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY FOR A FEW DAYS. I GOT A CALL A FEW DAYS LATER FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT THE TRUCK FROM SAYING MY ON STAR NOTIFIED THEM OF A RECALL ON MY TRUCK PERTAINING TO THE BRAKES. I THOUGHT GOOD THIS COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, AND THEY DID THE UPDATE. I ALSO ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE BREAK PADS SO I COULD RULE IT OUT OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAID I HAVE 60% OF MY BRAKE PADS STILL LEFT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS GOING TO WORK AND I GOT TO THE PARKING GARAGE WHERE I WORK AND NOTICED IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO BACK UP AND I KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AND HAD TO PRESS DOWN HARD AND TO THE FLOOR SO I COULD STOP. SO FAR THERE WAS NOT A CRASH BUT I FEEL ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL TO FIX THIS.
Service brakes, Sep 22, 2019, crash
A FEW TIMES MY BRAKES WHILE GOING SLOW WOULD GET VERY TIGHT AND NOT WORK. WELL TODAY AFTER CHURCH I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MOVED FORWARD, SO DID I. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP I COULDNT. MY BRAKES GOT HARD AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I RAN RIGHT INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME
Service brakes, Sep 18, 2019, crash
AS I WAS BACKING UP I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND FOR SOME REASON NOTHING HAPPENED WHICH RESULTED IN MY HITTING MY WIFE'S CAR AND DAMAGING HER DRIVERS SIDE QUARTER PANEL. WHEN I ASKED GMC ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY SAID IT WAS JUST AN ERROR ON MY PART. NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT THE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES MAY BE AFFECTED. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO HER CAR?
Service brakes, Aug 15, 2019
ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, I APPLY BREAKS, BREAK PEDDLE IS SOFT AND GOES TO THE FLOOR, I SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION AND QUICKLY PUMP THE BREAKS TO REGAIN PEDDLE AND APPLY BREAKS AGAIN (THIS TIME BRAKES ENGAGE). 6 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. 4 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR AND TWICE ON A HIGHWAY. CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE AND ME TO REACT. IT APPEARS THE SYSTEM OVERRIDES THE BRAKES TAKING CONTROL AWAY FROM ME. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT BRAKE THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER OCCUR WAS WHEN I WAS LAUNCHING MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE. I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND HAD TO APPLY MY EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP MY TRUCK FROM GOING INTO THE WATER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS, 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DATE LISTED BELOW WAS THE LAST OCCURRENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. (NOT THE PRIOR 5 OCCURRENCES)
Service brakes, Jul 24, 2019
TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. I RECEIVED A NOTICE (N182202780) FROM GM STATING THAT I MIGHT EXPERIENCE INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT. IT WENT ON TO SAY HOW THIS NOTICE "IS NOT A REACALL" AND THAT BRAKES STILL MEETS "ALL FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE" I'M WRITING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED NO SYMPTOMS OF A PROBLEM UNTIL THE PEDAL HAD MAYBE 10% ASSIST. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTICE FROM THE DRIVERS INFO CENTER. I APPLIED THE BRAKE, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, ACCELERATED THEN APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND MAYBE HAD 10% BRAKING ABILITY. THE NOTICE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT "FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS CONDITION". THE TRUCK HAS 32000 MILES ON IT, I'VE OWNED IT SINCE NEW, I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGES OIL WITH 20% LIFE LEFT IN IT. THIS IS ABOUT 2000 MILE SOONER THAN THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT GM HAS RECOGNIZED IN THERE LETTER, BUT IN MY OPINION, ARE NOT TAKING IT SERIOUS ENOUGH. UNLESS I'M A "ONE OFF" CASE, THIS WILL VERY LIKELY GET PEOPLE HURT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE IF NOT ADDRESSED VERY SOON. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU
Service brakes, Jul 12, 2019
STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, NO PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW SECONDS TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. HAD TO APPLY TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS ARRIVED AT DESTINATION A QUARTER MILE AWAY. OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. CUT VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN RESTARTED IT OCCURRED ONCE AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ABS IN THE BRAKES WAS VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE PEDAL STIFF WHEN REVERSING, HARD TO STOP.
Service brakes, Apr 4, 2019
THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY STIFF WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IN PARKING LOTS. THE VEHICLE BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING CRASHES. GM DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY TESTS VEHICLE AND TRIES TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND I'M MAKING A MISTAKE. HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES AND EVENTUALLY THEY FOUND A FAILED VACUUM PUMP. THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY $700+ FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID DOING A RECALL AND PUTTING THEIR BOTTOM LINE AHEAD OF SAFETY. THESE TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS.
Service brakes, Apr 2, 2019
THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING GARAGE WHILE PULLING UP TO THE CONCRETE WALL AND PUSHING ON THE BRAKE THE TRUCK ALMOST DIDN'T STOP AND THE PEDAL GOT VERY STIFF. WHILE DRIVING HOME IN TRAFFIC THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT SEEMS TO BE AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES ARE LOSING ALL POWER. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND NORMALLY STOPS ON A DIME. TOOK TO THE DEALER TODAY, AND THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP IS BAD AT ONLY 39,000 MILES.
Service brakes, Mar 7, 2019, crash
FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP LEADING TO REDUCED BRAKING FORCE UNDER REPEATED USE OR IN A PANNIC SITUATION LEADING TO A COLLISION. I HIT A DEER BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE STOP OR SUFFICIENTLY SLOW DOWN TO AVOID HITTING IT. I NOTICED REDUCED BRAKING FORCE AND A HARD BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INVOLVING THIS ISSUE
Service brakes, Jan 28, 2019
WAS DRIVING MY 2017 GMC SIERRA WITH MY WIFE AND YOUNG SON. I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND MADE A FUNNY CLICKING NOISE WHEN I SHOVED IT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. I NOTICED THEN, THAT THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT WAS ON. THE TRUCK GAVE NO PRIOR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Service brakes, Jan 21, 2019, crash
BREAKS HAVE OUT AT 36.5K MILES. VACUUM TO BREAK LINE MESSED UP. WAS IN BUSY TRAFFIC GOING 50-60MPH. TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN BUT TRUCK WOULD NOT BREAK. VERY VERY SCARY SITUATION. GMC DEALERSHIP KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS OVER THE PHONE. TOOK IT TO THEM AND CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 500 MILES. 800$ OUT OF POCKET AND TOOK THEM 10 SECONDS TO IDENTIFY ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. SEEMS LIKE THEY KNOW THE ISSUE VERY WELL
Power train, Service brakes, Dec 18, 2018, crash
I HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED ON MY NEW TRUCK AT 6000 MILES AND PAID FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. I CONTINUED TO HEAR BRAKE NOISE. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE WEEKEND I WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE BRAKE NOISE INVESTIGATED AND TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE, I HAD CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MADE A LANE CHANGE INTO MY LANE AND THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AT A GREEN LIGHT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM 40 MPH TO 0 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. A CAR HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIM CHANGING LANES FROM THE LEFT LANE TO RIGHT. I MASHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP IMMEDIATELY AND MY BRAKES WENT SOFT AND TO THE FLOOR ON THE SECOND PUSH. WHEN I WASN'T STOPPING. I SLAMMED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT AND INJURED A FEW TOES ON MY LEFT FOOT TRYING TO STOP BEFORE MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. INSTEAD, MY VEHICLE SKIDDED AND LIGHTLY TAPPED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DOING MINOR BUMPER DAMAGE TO BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES. HOWEVER THERE WAS A TOYOTA TRUCK BEHIND ME, AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY WHILE I WAS AT A STAND STILL, WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DOING OVER 70 MPH WHEN HE COLLIDED WITH MY SIERRA. MY SIERRA HAS THE PIN OR PART OF THE CALIPER THAT MOVES THE BRAKE PADS, COMPLETELY PUSHED THE PISTON INTO THE ROTOR. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD BRAKE ISSUES SINCE I PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AT 6000 MILES. I HAVE RECORDS OF THE INCIDENT AND THE BRAKE FAILURE FROM A MECHANIC AND AUTO BODY SHOP DOCUMENTING THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES. DIRECTLY AFTER THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED WITHIN ANOTHER 8000 MILES THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON THE VEHICLE WENT BAD AND WAS REPLACED AS WELL.

'TAKATA RECALL' DRIVING THE TRUCK TO THE STORE, WHEN I WAS PARKING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT EXTREMELY HARD, LOST ALL BRAKE FUNCTIONS. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK (2017 GMC SIERRA 1500) TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND BELT. HAD IT REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY ON NO ADDITIONAL COST.

AFTER EXITING I285 NORTH OF ATLANTA ONTO THE ASHFORD DUNWOODY EXIT, MY BREAKS STOPPED WORKING AND THE PEDAL WOULD NOT PRESS DOWN. I WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME AND HAPPENED TO BE MOVING UP AN INCLINE. I HAD TO DOWN SHIFT FROM DRIVE INTO A LOWER GEAR AND USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
Service brakes, Nov 26, 2018
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, A SERVICE BRAKE ASSISTANT WARNING CAME ON. THE BRAKES AT THAT POINT WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO USE AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR A QUICK STOP. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE BOOSTER PUMP, VACUUM PUMP AND TUBING. COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS OVER $1,200.

VACUUM PUMP ISSUE WITH GMC SIERRA - I NOTICED A PROBLEM BRAKING MY PICKUP, SPONGY BRAKES, HARD STOPPING. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (PORTSMOUTH CHEVROLET, PORTSMOUTH, NH). THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP AND REPLACED THE PUMP UNDER WARRANTY. I WANTED TO ALERT YOU BECAUSE I SAW A NOTICE ON FOX NEWS THIS EVENING ABOUT YOUR INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM WITH EARLIER MODELS AND WANTED TO ALERT YOU THAT MINE IS A 2017. YOU MAY WANT TO EXPAND THE INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE LATER MODEL TRUCKS AND SUVS. LUCKILY I CAUGHT IT IN TIME, NO ACCIDENTS, NO INJURIES.

VEHICLE HAS HARD SHIFT AT 5-6 MPH. DEALER STATED COULD NOT FIND ISSUE, AND REFLASHED TCM.APPROX MONTH LATER, AT 10K MILES, TRUCK HARD SHIFTED FROM RED LIGHT ON HIGHWAY, ONCE UP TO 45 MPH, SHUTDOWN. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, NO BRAKES, NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE AT 45-50 MPH.DEALER KEPT FOR ONE WEEK, STATED LOOSE CABLE ON STARTER FROM BATTERY. EXACTLY 1K MILES LATER (5 WEEKS), NOW AT 11K MILES, TRUCK HARD SHIFTED AT 5-6MPH, AND AT 45-50 MPH TRUCK TRIED TO SHIFT IN 4WD. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AS A RESULT. DEALER HAS CURRENTLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR TWO WEEKS AND CAN NOT FIND ISSUE. THEY SUPPOSEDLY CONSULTED GM, AND INSTEAD OF SENDING AN EXPERT TECH TO HELP DEALER FIND ISSUE, ADVISED DEALER TO REPLACE ECM. REPLACING ECM IS THE GENERAL ANSWER TO NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THIS TRUCK IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF GOING 45-50 MPH THERE IS NO CONTROL OR BRAKES OPERATIONAL ON THE VEHICLE. GM WILL REPLACE THE ECM, AND JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND EXPECT ME AS THE CONSUMER TO TAKE DELIVERY BACK OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY ALL OF MY DOCUMENTATION IS IN THE DASH OF THIS TRUCK, AT THE DEALERSHIP. TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW MYSELF AS THE CONSUMER CAN HELP ENSURE THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS CORRECTED, AND NOT PASSED ON.
