THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY (~15K MILES) - I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST OUT OF ALIGNMENT - ALIGNED AND ROTATED TIRES. THIS SEEMED TO IMPROVE THINGS FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL THE VIBRATION WAS BACK TO THE UNTOLERABLE STATE - UPON TAKING TO ANOTHER SERVICE STATION, THEY BLAMED THE TIRES (UNEVEN WEAR) AND I PAID FOR ALL NEW TIRES - ONLY FOR THE VIBRATION TO RETURN AFTER ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. I NEXT TOOK IT A 3RD SERVICE STATION AND THEY ARE CLAIMING A BEND WHEEL THAT WONT FULLY BALANCE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH A FAULTY DRIVETRAIN, BUT GMC IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE?? HOW DO I BECOME PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED PROPERLY?

OUR TRUCK IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 69000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION JUST STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING THRU A NEIGHBORHOOD. WHILE IN DRIVE IT WOULD MOVE BUT ONCE ACCELERATING IT WOULD REV UP AND NOT CHANGE GEARS. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT AN ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT. WE DO ALL THE NECESSARY REGULAR MAINTENANCE. IN ADDITION TWO YEARS AGO WHILE THE TRUCK WAS A YEAR OLD, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I GUESS IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP OR WHATEVER THAT DIDN'T ALLOW THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO BE PRESSED WHICH PROVIDED ME WITH NO BRAKES. AGAIN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING! THIS LATER BECAME RECALL ISSUE BUT NOT BEFORE IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME! I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST GMC FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND I WOULD CONSIDER BEING A PART OF THIS. THIS IS A 50;000$ AND RELATIVELY NEW TRUCK, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THE DEALER NOW WANTS OVER 4000$ FOR REPAIRS. *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.
