MY TRUCK HAS A MAJOR EXHAUST LEAK THAT FLOWS INTO THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. IT HAS A DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE. I NOTICED AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL AND TOLD MY FAMILY MEMBERS IT WAS NORMAL. 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, I NOTICED THAT MY SENSE OF SMELL AND TASTE WAS LACKING. MY DOCTORS HAD NO EXPLANATION ON WHY I HAVE LOST MY ABILITY TO SMELL. I DROVE 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS TO SEATTLE,WA AND EVERY TIME I ARRIVED I WAS INCAPACITATED. I HAS A SORE THROAT, COUGH, AND DIARRHEA FOR A WEEK. AFTER RETURNING HOME ON THESE TRIPS, THE SAME SICKNESS HAD TAKEN OVER MY BODY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AN EGR PART AND CLAIMED THE PART WAS LEAKING AND MY PROBLEM WAS SOLVED ON 9/6/2018. I MADE ONE TRIP OF SIX HUNDRED MILES 1 WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR AND WAS SO SICK AFTERWARDS, I STARTED LOOKING FOR ANSWERS MYSELF I BOUGHT A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR AND IT STARTS BEEPING AT 100 PPM WITHIN 2 MINUTES AFTER STARTING MY TRUCK, AND THE DETECTOR STARTS BEEPING WITH MY WINDOW DOWN. RIGHT NOW I AM WAITING FOR A CALL FROM MY DEALER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, MY TRUCK HAS 58,000 MILES, AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE BECAUSE MY NOSE IS STILL BURNING FROM DRIVING 2 MILES ROUND TRIP TO A LOCAL POST OFFICE ON 9/17/2018. I BELIEVE I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND THE LEAK IS PROGRESSING IMMENSELY. I HAVE ALL THE CO2 AND NOX POISON SYMPTOMS. THERE IS A NOXIOUS SMELL, SINCE CO2 IS ODORLESS, THE SMELL IS NO2 OR NOX. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DOWNPIPE OFF THE TURBO AND THE FLANGES HOLDING THE PARTS TOGETHER. I WANT SOMEONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND IT GOES UNNOTICED, IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DOWNPIPE OFF THE TURBO AND THE FLANGES HOLDING THE PARTS TOGETHER ARE DEFECTIVE. SINCE THE PARTS ARE MADE IN CHINA, I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY COULD BE DEFECTIVE. I DON'T BELIEVE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY WOULD WANT TO HARM AN AMERICAN UNNOTICEABLY.

VEHICLE STEERING GEAR FAILURE ON MY 2016 CHEVROLET K2500 TRUCK . TRUCK WOULD WONDERS BACK FORTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD,,PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. STARTS OUT SMALL THEN GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. THIS FAILURE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BECAUSE THERE MAY BE OTHER OTHER FAILURES OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT BEING REPORTED . THIS CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF CONTROL YOU HAVE WHILE DRIVING. TALKED TO GM REP, HE GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND THAT GM IS NOT RESPONSIBLY FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. THEN WHO IS RESPONSIBLY FOR THE INSTILLATION OF DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE PARTS.

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.

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.

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.
