VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE FACILITY FIVE TIMES, IN THE SPAN OF 3 MONTHS. ALL SERVICE/MAINTENANCE HAS FOCUSED ON LOOSE STEERING AND UN-COMMANDED VEHICLE PULL. ISSUE REOCCURS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SERVICE. FIRST ISSUE WAS EXTREMELY NON-RESPONSIVE STEERING, WHERE I COULD MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL MULTIPLE INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION WITH NO MOVEMENT OR REACTION FROM THE VEHICLE. COMPOUNDED WITH STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE HELD OFF OF CENTER TO MAKE VEHICLE TRAVEL STRAIGHT. GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED GM RECOMMENDED FIX, WHICH DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. RETURNED VEHICLE TO GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE THEY FOUND THE STEERING GEAR, STEERING BOX AND PITMAN ARM TO BE DAMAGED AND THUS REPLACED ALL ITEMS. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME THE CONSUMER WITH THE PERSISTENT STEERING ISSUE. THE STEERING IS LOOSE. THE WHEEL CANTS TO THE RIGHT IF IT IS LET GO OF, AND WHEN RETURNED TO CENTER, THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THE DEALERSHIP TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE RIGHT OFF CENTER CANT, ALONG WITH THE LEFT PULL, YET FOUND NOTHING VISUALLY WRONG WITH THE STEERING OR SUSPENSION. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AS THEY CLAIM THEIR VISUAL INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING WRONG, YET WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THERE IS A NOTICEABLE STEERING ISSUE. 2016 GM HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS HAVE THIS AS A KNOWN ISSUE, YET GM HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IT OR CREATED A SOLUTION. THIS IS A HIGHLY UNSAFE CONDITION, WHERE THE STEERING IS UNRESPONSIVE, AND VEERS THE VEHICLE IN UN-COMMANDED DIRECTIONS.

21V504000 · Air Bags:side/window:curtain:inflator

Jul 1, 2021

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.

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.
