33.8K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Feb 25, 2021
Safety Issue:

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT4, XT5, Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, 2018-2021 Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, 2019-2020 Chevrolet Blazer, Silverado 1500, GMC Acadia, Sierra 1500, and certain Continental tires sold to the aftermarket for various model year 2018-2021 vehicles. The affected tires were cured for too long during production.

Potential Risk:
Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 22, 2021. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Buick customer service at 1-866-608-8080, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Here are the problems I've been facing: 1. Shift to Park Error: My Blazer often displays a "Shift to Park" message, even when the vehicle is already in the park position. This happens randomly and has no discernible pattern. As a result, the vehicle won't turn off, and I'm forced to repeatedly shift back and forth and apply excessive force to engage the park mode. 2. Steering Assist Reduced Message and Cold Temperature Gauge: Another recurring issue is the appearance of a "Steering Assist Reduced" message. At the same time, the temperature gauge gets stuck at the cold position, and the check engine light remains on. This seems to be a common problem among Blazer owners and requires immediate attention through a recall. 3. Fuel-Related Acceleration Problem: I've noticed a fuel-related problem that affects acceleration. The vehicle experiences sudden slowdowns, with the RPMs dropping, even when I maintain a steady throttle position. Then, out of nowhere, the Blazer regains speed and accelerates. This unpredictable behavior is dangerous and needs to be addressed immediately. 4. Random Loss of Power Steering and Power Brakes: On several occasions, my Blazer has lost power steering and power brakes without any warning. It's incredibly unnerving and puts both the driver and others on the road at risk. It's important to note that my Blazer is well-maintained and has less than 60,000 miles on it. These issues should not be happening under these circumstances. I strongly believe that these problems require the attention of the manufacturer, and I urge them to initiate recalls to rectify these safety concerns.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

After shifting into park the DIC comes on and says shift into park. At first I was able to reset the transmission into drive and back to park and it would reset the DIC. However, today I was at a loss as what to do as it would not reset and the lights and horn were in a warning mode. Finally, I set the parking brake and the DIC message went off. I have not gone to the dealer but will make an appointment to do so. Our 2019 Blazer only has 18,500 miles on it when this happened. I have seen several complaints of this type when researching the problem. No simple solutions were offered other than a trip to dealer for an expensive fix.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

When shifting to Park, and pressing the button to turn the car off, received an error "Shift to Park" despite being in Park and the car would not turn off. When researching the issue, many others have reported the same issues with other models of Chevrolet and GM vehicles. This is a known issue and GM has issued a service bulletin, but not a recall. I went to Reedman Toll Chevrolet in Langhorne, PA where I purchased the vehicle. They are also familiar with this issue as many others have experienced the same error. This was also an expensive fix for me out of pocket. It cost $660.

Potential Consequences:

When I shift my car to park and turn it off the dashboard will alert me and say I need to shift to park. The car doesn’t recognize I just shifted into it, but it automatically unlocks my doors so part of it knows I’m in park. I’m not sure if I let my foot off the brake if it’ll start rolling & I haven’t attempted since it’s usually in my garage. It is currently at the Chevy Dealer to be “analyzed” but it seems to be a known problem they don’t want to recall.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

This is less an incident and more like a concern. I noticed a slight shudder upon accelerating. It started at lower speeds, approximately 25-30 mph, and shifting between second and third gear. Now with daily driving, the shudder has progressively gotten worse. It now happens at higher speeds, approximately 50-55 mph, and has become more violent. There is also now an acceleration and deceleration issue whether my foot is on the accelerator or I have the vehicle on cruise control. After some research, reading several service bulletins and forum posts, I have learned that the problem component is the torque converter in the transmission. Chevrolet is aware of the problem and has issued a service bulletin, PIP560C, recommending a drain and fill claiming that will fix the problem. I had this done in accordance with the bulletin, and it only made the problem worse. After talking with more than one mechanic, I was told that if this problem is not fixed, the vehicle could stall and the transmission could lock/seize up. This could present a safety issue by posing a potential cause of an accident if the vehicle stalls in the middle of a highway or busy street. This issue also can potentially cause further transmission failure.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Snow/Ice build up inside tire rim's, causing improper tire balance. And also brake to freeze up when vehicle is parked, during driving in winter snow conditions. When driving on interstate roads at speed limit, the vehicle start's to shake a lot , like a flat tire. I talked to a Chevy dealer service manager about it and he said that their wasn't any safety massage out on that problem. I've never had a wheel snow/ice up like that before !! So now during the winter I check and clean out the snow/ice out of the wheel rim to prevent the vibration and driving problem. No warning light came on. It just shook the car real badly while driving on the highway.
