WHY IS NHTSA ALLOWING SALE OF MILLIONS OF DANGEROUS UNFIXABLE AIRBAG RECALLED SUVS TO BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CONSEQUENCE IS DEATH BY AN ALLOWED LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IN A MAJORITY OF CARS ON THE ROAD. WHY IS THERE NO PROTECTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HERE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T ALLOWED. EVERY CAR WITH THIS RECALL IS A DEADLY RISK AND NHTSA IS NOT GETTING DEALERS TO STOP SELLING SUCH VEHICLES NOR ARE THEY INVESTIGATING THE MANY DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE HIDING THE ISSUES BY SAYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LIES IN THE DESCRIPTION AND HIDING IT IN THE CARFAX BUT KEEPING IT IN THE VIN CHECK. NHTSA HAS A DUTY TO PROTECT US ALL ESPECUU ITI ALLY NOW I'M THUS RARE INSTANCE WHERE EVERY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IS A DEATH SENTENCE BY THE VERY SAFETY DEVICE MEANT TO PROTECT , THE AIRBAGS, WHICH IS ONE THING IF DOES NOT INFLATE, BUT IS WORSE THAT IT SHOOTS METAL SHRAPNEL WHEN AIRBAG EXPLODES INSTEAD OF INFLATED AND HAS ALREADY INJURED AND KILLED 19 PEOPLE AND NO WAY TO PREVENT EXPLOSION SINCE NO REMEDY BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEACTIVATE THE POSSIBILITY OF IT EXPLODING INSTEAD OF ALLOWING IT TO BE SOLD AND HARM PEOPLE? THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT T RELATED TO VEHICLES DMV, DOT, HEALTH AND SAFETY AND FBI, BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING THAT IT HAS GOTTEN THUS FAR ALONG WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION EXCEPT IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT THUS FAR PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK. I THINK SOMEONE IS GETTING PAID OFF UNDER THE RUG FOR IT TO BE SUCH A HIDDEN DILEMMA. PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE OF CONCERN OUT TO ALL INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES TO GET OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES PROTECTED. I HAD TO USE A VIN FROM A VEHICLE IF INTEREST FROM A SAMPLE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THIS COMPLAINT OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE NEGLECTED FURTHER. EMAIL: [XXX].REGARDING MY CONCERNS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2026 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, and Tahoe, and GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles with four-wheel (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), and certain 2015-2020 Suburban, Escalade, Escalade ESV, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Tahoe vehicles. A component missing from the drivetrain transfer case may cause the front and/or rear wheels to lock up without warning to the driver.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Front or rear wheel lockup increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the remedy is completed. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transfer case assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 18, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-333-4223. GM's number for this recall is N262557620.

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.
