WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY LIGHT WENT ON. THEN SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DIED. IT WAS VERY SCARY. A HUGH SAFETY ISSUE, THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, CRASH OR DEATH. THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE BRAKES HARD TO PUSH DOWN. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A EXIT. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED IN STORE PARKING LOT. IT WOULD NOT START AFTER GETTING THERE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP. IT WAS ALSO SHOWING A AIR BAG ERROR MESSAGE. THEY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE SEAT POSITION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I HAVE HAD IT THERE 6 TIMES THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO FOR THE 7TH TIME OF TAKING IT THERE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE HYBRID BATTERY STATING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT WORKED FOR ONLY 9 DAYS. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT ON THE NINTH DAY, THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS AGAIN ON AND HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I LEFT IT IN MY GARAGE, BUT ULTIMATELY HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE COMPANY WHO HAS NOW HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS STATING THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTER AND IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE. THEY ALSO CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE WITH WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

17V437000 · Air Bags:frontal; Air Bags:frontal:sensor/control MODULE-INACTIVE ; Seat Belts:pretensioner

Jul 10, 2017

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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.

Oct 16, 2015

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The affected vehicles have front seat-mounted side impact air bags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side impact air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 01320.
