The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 45-50 MPH and then attempting to depress the brake pedal, the vehicle started pulling to the left, indicating the passenger’s side brake caliper had seized. The ABS warning light, and Stability Control failure warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Mavis Tires and Brakes body shop where brake pads and rotors were replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was returned to Mavis Tires and Brakes, and the two calipers, rotors, and brake pads were replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving approximately 41-60 MPH and hauling a trailer and attempting to stop at a stop light. The contact stated that the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately. The contact used an excessive amount of pressure to depress the brake pedal.

MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.

MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK", OVER THE COURSE OF 48 HOURS IT WENT FROM ON HARD BUMPS AND JUST THE NOTIFICATION, TO NOW CONSTANTLY TURNING ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER OUT OF POCKET. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF THE ISSUE MATCHES THE SAME ABS ISSUE AS THE RECALLS FOR 2014-2018 MODELS ON THE SILVERADO, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIGHT THE CHARGES? THE WARNING NOTIFICATION AND ICON WOULD LIGHT UP WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. 48 HOURS AGO IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN TURNING AT ALMOST FULL ROTATION, OR DRIVING OVER SOME CRACKS ON THE ROAD. NOW IT JUST DOES IT RANDOMLY AND VERY OFTEN TO WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. POWER ALSO GOES DOWN A BIT, AND THE WHEEL WOULD JERK. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS HOW ALL THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN IT REACHED YOUTUBE. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BE TURNING, THEN THE WHEEL WOULD SPRING BACK INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION. BEFORE THIS NOTIFICATION, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD BE VERY SMOOTH. NOW BECAUSE THE TRUCK THINKS THERE'S SOME KIND OF ABS ISSUE, WHEN I BRAKE, IT WOULD SHAKE THE BRAKE RESPONSE (LIKE OLD CARS BEFORE ABS) AND ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE VERY UNSTEADY. I CANNOT BRAKE ON A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT WOULD SWAY THE VEHICLE. *TR

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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.

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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
Aug 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."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.

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.
