Safety Issue:
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.

Potential Consequences:
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE MY CAR I FEEL A HESITATION, FOLLOWED BY A SIGNIFICANT SHUDDER WHEN THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEARS. THE SHUDDER, SHAKE AND HESITATION ALSO OCCURS WHILE MY VEHICLE ACCELERATES IN A SINGLE GEAR, AND NOT ACTIVELY SHIFTING GEARS. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT MERELY RESULT IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING CONDITION. THE SHUDDERING AND HESITATION SEEM TO BE RELATED TO INTERNAL ISSUES WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSING FRICTION SURFACES, HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS, AND GEARS TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THERE IS POSSIBLY PERMANENT DAMAGE THAT WILL OCCUR TO THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR TORQUE CONVERTER OVER TIME. I FACE ESCALATING REPAIRS THAT CAN INCLUDE FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION OF METAL SHAVINGS CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OPERATION, AND WHICH EVENTUALLY NECESSITATE THE REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, VALVE BODY, OR THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. AS SUCH, THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT ENDANGERS THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLES, AND DIMINISHES THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLES. GM'S DELIBERATE NON-DISCLOSURE OF THESE DEFECTS ARTIFICIALLY INFLATED THE PURCHASE AND LEASE PRICE FOR THESE VEHICLES. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT FOR YEARS, SINCE RIGHT AFTER INTRODUCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE 2015, GM HAS ISSUED THIRTEEN VERSIONS OF A 'TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN,' OR 'TSB,' RELATED TO THIS SHIFTING ISSUE ALONE. THE TSBS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAVE ADVISED DEALERSHIPS TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS: COMPLETE THE 'CLUTCH DRIVE LEARN PROCEDURE,' REPLACE THE VALVE BODY, REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, FLUSH THE COOLER LINES AND COOLER, REMOVE DEBRIS FROM AND CLEAN THE TRANSMISSION PAN, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FILTER, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION. TO DATE, NONE OF GM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

Potential Consequences:
WE HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THEN REPLACE 2 REAR CRACKED RIMS IN THE 1.5 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT AND THE SECOND ONE WAS IN JANUARY 2019. AFTER NOTICING BOTH TIMES THAT FIRST THE LEFT TIRE WAS LOSING AIR A HAIRLINE CRACK WAS NOTICED ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. WE HAD IT REPAIRED AND IT DID NOT LAST SO FOR SAFETY REASONS WE NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE RIGHT SIDE IN LATE 2018. IT WAS AGAIN SUGGESTED WE REPAIR IT, THEN AGAIN THE REPAIR DID NOT HOLD AND WE NEEDED TO REPLACE.
