General Motors Llc
NHTSA Campaign: 19V761000 SAFETY RECALL
653K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Oct 24, 2019
Safety Issue:

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.

Potential Risk:
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.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Recall Date: Sep 6, 2019
Safety Issue:

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.

Potential Risk:
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.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.

40.7K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jul 10, 2017
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 Risk:
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.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.

Recall Date: Jan 12, 2017
Safety Issue:

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Chevrolet Suburban HD vehicles. These vehicles were assembled with a convex right-hand outside mirror, instead of with a non-convex (flat) right-hand outside mirror. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

Potential Risk:
If equipped with the incorrect right-side rear-view mirror, the driver may misjudge the distance of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the convex mirror with a non-convex mirror and provide a new page for the owner's manual with the customer notification letter, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 17017.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Brake problems started on 11/05/2019, brakes were unresponsive upon starting up the vehicle. During operation of the vehicle the brakes were not working properly, the brake pedal would drop to the floorboard with shuddering and did not stop the vehicle in a timely manner. I was driving my 2 small children to speech therapy and I stopped my vehicle and had a family member come pick up my children to get them out of my vehicle and I drove straight to the dealership. Left my vehicle. 1. Vacuum pump failure found at dealership on 11/06/19, vacuum pump assembly and belt replaced at dealership. Vehicle was under warranty at the time of this repair. 2. On 03/12/2020 brakes were unresponsive again with the brake pedal not working properly. During operation of the vehicle, the brake pedal would drop to the floorboard and shudder as its dropping without slowing the vehicle in a timely manner. I was driving to an oil change appointment at the dealership and advised them of the issue. 3/12/20 Vacuum pump ordered at this time under a special extended warranty coverage given by GM due to this issue with many vehicles. 03/18/2020 Vacuum pump replaced for the second time. 3. 04/07/2021 brakes unresponsive again with shuddering while pressing the brake pedal with pedal dropping to the floor then pushing my foot back up as I press down while not slowing the vehicle in a timely manner. I was driving to the store when this happened and again drove straight to the dealership. I have family members that will let me borrow their vehicle. Dealership notes that since the vacuum pump has been replaced 2 times, they advise to scan the system and they now find the brake booster vacuum sensor to have an internal failure with booster losing vacuum. 04/07/21 Brake booster vacuum sensor and brake booster replaced by dealership at a cost of $759.29 4. 06/05/23 Brakes again doing the same thing. Have appointment at dealership for a later date.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I purchased my 2016 Chevrolet Suburban from Jupiter Chevrolet on March 18,2021 at that time the car had 74,931 miles on it after driving off it home 35 min away from the car lot I noticed the RPMS would go up on their own I called and asked what the cause of it and they would be said that it was normal because these new vehicle have the downgrade break. I drove it off and on since then this is a vehicle used for when we have a family trip or just store runs. My truck currently has 107,750 miles on it, that is a total of 32,819 miles put on this truck since 2021. On January 28,2023 as I was driving on the highway to the store that is three miles down the road the truck went into limp mode all the sudden Iwas almost hit by an 18-wheeler because it suddenly owed down and would not go over 20 mph. My daughter who is 5 years old was in the car with me at the time. I was able to turn around and slowly get it back home since I was not far, when I got home the check engine light came on I had my neighbor read the code and it said P0700 and P0796 they said to change the fluid and it would probably fix it so I took it to have the transmission oil changed and new filter put in and they told me then that I will need a new transmission because of all of the metal shavings that was in the oil and filter and on the magnet in the oil pan. There is no recall on this problem, I do not have that many miles on my car and have not driven that many miles to be having a transmission problem on my vehicle this is something out see on vehicles with 300k. miles on them. I must have my vehicle and right now I am not able to drive it at all, but I am still having to make the payments on a vehicle I am not able to drive.

I drove it off and on since then this is a vehicle used for when we have a family trip or just store runs. My truck currently has 107,750 miles on it, that is a total of 32,819 miles put on this truck since 2021. On January 28,2023 as I was driving on the highway to the store that is three miles down the road the truck went into limp mode all the sudden Iwas almost hit by an 18-wheeler because it suddenly owed down and would not go over 20 mph. My daughter who is 5 years old was in the car with me at the time. I was able to turn around and slowly get it back home since I was not far, when I got home the check engine light came on I had my neighbor read the code and it said P0700 and P0796 they said to change the fluid and it would probably fix it so I took it to have the transmission oil changed and new filter put in and they told me then that I will need a new transmission because of all of the metal shavings that was in the oil and filter and on the magnet in the oil pan. There is no recall on this problem, I do not have that many miles on my car and have not driven that many miles to be having a transmission problem on my vehicle this is something out see on vehicles with 300k. miles on them. I must have my vehicle and right now I am not able to drive it at all, but I am still having to make the payments on a vehicle I am not able to drive.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I am wanting to report an issue with my 2016 Chevrolet Suburban, yesterday no January 23,2023 as we were driving on the highway my suburban suddenly stopped going into drive and the RPM's shot all the way up. We were going 65mph and were almost hit by an 18-wheeler that was behind us. We got to an exit and had to stop it scared our kids, the check engine light came on and were only able to drive 20 mph to make it home safely. We had the check engine light that came on checked and it came back with codes P0796 & P0700 we have looked it up and were not able to find a solution to these codes but i was able to find multiple people with the same issue and no solutions for them as well. Prior to the incident the car would accelerate on its own while you were driving. I Have called and searched for a recall but there is nothing listed, I think a recall should be placed since there are so many other people with the same issue. My vehicle has 107k. miles the others have a lot less miles on them.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The vehicle will just stop operating while driving. This past Sunday, December 18, 2022, I was driving to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game and turning into the parking lot and the vehicle just stopped operating, completely turned off. Couldn't turn steering wheel, put into neutral or anything. Police assisted me as I was blocking the main road to the parking lot. No electrical in the vehicle. This happened a few times before but the car would usually restart quickly. This time it sat for over 5 minutes and then for some reason I was able to get it restarted. There is a service bulletin for this issue from Chevrolet TSB PIT5405, however there are no parts available for this fix. This is a very dangerous situation as this happened in the middle of a major road and could happen at anytime without any warning. Luckily no one has been hurt or any accident but it is scary to say the least.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving at speed between 18-35mph the transmission began to shutter. I attempted to make a left turn and the vehicle would not accelerate as I pushed on gas pedal. I believe the transmission failed almost causing us to be T-boned by another vehicle approaching intersection from opposite direction. This is definitely a important safety concern.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Issue with Power Braking System. Has longer than normal stopping distance when braking. Hissing noise coming from Power Brake Pump under the hood. Loses air pressure in brakes very easily. We are afraid to drive this vehicle because this will eventually cause a crash. Mechanic stated this is a known issue with these vehicles of this Year/Make/Model and was on the recall list. This is a known issue that shows reports online my vehicle has issues/recalls on but for some reason my VIN isn't showing the recall. There is no warning message lit up on the dashboard. Mechanic was able to check the OBD computer to pull a code of (C0299-00). I have reached out to a Chevrolet dealership who is supposed to be looking into this for me but I wanted to reach out to you guys as well.
