AT APPROXIMATELY 9,700 MILES THE STEERING IN MY 2016 2500HD CHEVROLET SLIVERADO LTZ SUDDENLY HAD 3-4 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS MADE THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE DEALER WAS HELPFUL AND REPLACED THE STEERING BOX AT NO COST. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS PLAY IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THEY ALREADY PUT A STEERING BOX IN THE TRUCK AND OFFERED TO "HELP" BY ONLY CHARGING ME 1,000 DOLLARS FOR ANOTHER NEW STEERING BOX, DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE PLAY IT HAS AGAIN. I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE FACT THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. SECONDLY, THE SPEED AT WHICH THE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL OCCURS. IN MY CASE, BOTH EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WENT FROM NORMAL TO PROBLEMATIC INSTANTLY. I AM BEYOND UNDERSTANDING WHY GM HASN'T PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO STEER AND STOP YOU VEHICLE. MY OTHER CONCERNS INVOLVE PUTTING A THIRD GEAR BOX IN THE TRUCK AT A COST OF A 1,000 DOLLARS WITH NO GUARANTEE THE THIRD ONE WON'T DO THE SAME THING IN ANOTHER 9,700 TO 41,000 MILES. IT WOULD BE SERIOUSLY NICE TO KNOW, WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE POSTED 60 MPH SPEED LIMIT, YOUR TRUCK DOESN'T DECIDE TO ALL THE SUDDEN WONDER OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS MINE DID. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE WOULD HELP THOSE OF US IN THIS POSITION. GM OBVIOUSLY HAS A PROBLEM THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT WANDERED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT AND WHEN YOU ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO CENTER, IT WOULD OVER CORRECT. THIS WAS MORE DIFFICULT WHEN TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL RV. IT WAS A CONSTANT CHALLENGE TO KEEP THE TRUCK AND TRAILER IN MY LANE.

17,200 MILES AND THE STEERING HAS 3-4 INCHES OF SLOP IN IT BEFORE THE TRUCK BEGINS TO TURN. IT IS EXTREMELY HARD AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WANTS TO LEAVE ITS LANE CONSTANTLY. MECHANIC FOUND THE LASH NUT TO BE BACKED HALFWAY OFF, THE GEAR BOX IS LEAKING FLUID, THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING FLUID, AND THE HOSES ARE LEAKING AS WELL. 3 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO, SO GM SR. ADVISOR SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE PORTION OF THE WARRANTY PARAMETERS. THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO CALL ME PER THE REQUEST OF THE GM CASE MANAGER, AND HE PASSED MY CASE TO ONE OF HIS SERVICE ADVISERS, SO NO HELP FROM MY DEALERSHIP AT ALL. THERE ARE 7 TSB'S FOR THIS ISSUE #PIT5501C->F & 18-NA-280. THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN SPECIFICALLY SAYS "ALL VIN #'S FOR 2016 2500HD" "ALL ENGINES" & "ALL TRANSMISSIONS", YET SR. ADVISORS AT GM CUSTOMER CARE SAY NOTHING IS ATTACHED TO MY ACCOUNT, AND MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN INTO A GM DEALERSHIP IN A YEAR, SO THEY WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING. HELLO, 3 YEARS OLD AND 17,000 MILES, THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF 5,666 MILES PER YEAR WHICH IS NOT EVEN ENOUGH MILES FOR GM'S RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE PERIOD. RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE STEERING GEAR BOXES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED! I HAVE PICTURES I CAN SUBMIT IF NEEDED.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy is available. Phase I owner notification letters were mailed on May 5, 2022. Phase II owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. This recall supersedes NHTSA recall number 20V-736. GM's number for this recall is N202324251.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, 1500 Crew Cab Special Service, Tahoe Police Pursuit/Special Service, GMC Sierra 2500, and 3500 vehicles. The brake pedal pivot nut may loosen, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, the driver may be unable to stop the vehicle by using the brake pedal. Additionally, a loose pedal may also interfere with the accelerator pedal. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will add adhesive to the nut and reinstall the nut with increased tightness, free of charge. The recall began October 3, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 18278. Note: The vehicles in this recall need this additional remedy despite being covered by recall 16V069 for brake pedal loosening.
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.
