Safety Issue:
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
2017 GMC Sierra K1500 with 59,xxx miles. Recently noted braking issues with vehicle in parking lots or at slower speeds. The brakes are difficult to engage. I do not notice this issue when driving at higher speeds. On 3/27/23, I backed the vehicle out of my driveway and had a near miss collision as it was very difficult to engage the brakes and stop the vehicle. After the near miss, the brakes, calipers, and rotors were inspected and all were in good working condition. I contacted the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. The representative from the dealership informed me that this braking issue was addressed as a previous recall for N192268490 ZPSR (Product Safety Recall) on 5/24/21. On 5/24/21, I took the truck into the dealership for another issue and this recall was addressed at the same time. I was not having any issues with the brakes at that time. The representative informed me that the recall was closed on the truck, and they now charge $200/hr if I want to bring the vehicle in for service. The current braking issues appear directly related to the reported braking recall issue that was reportedly repaired on 5/24/21. The vehicle is not safe to drive and would appreciate assistance from the NHTSA to safely resolve the issue.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I have persistent transmission problems documented on multiple dealer visits where I purchased the vehicle. The first one was after 6000 miles. A large clunk sound and vibration occurred after shifting gears in the 30 mph range. The dealer told me this was a know issue related to the transmission manufacturer lubricant conflicting with the GMC transmission fluid. They did a flush and replace and for a time period it settled down. I have 56,000 miles now and the latest complaint I made was when nearing a stop at 5-10 mph the transmission did a massive clink. I had two others in the vehicle that observed this over 20 times. I immediately scheduled a service to look at this. After 4 hours they told me nothing is wrong. Since then the transmission has a light clunk shifting at low speed so I wonder if they lied and flushed the fluid. They said no metal was in the fluid. Online websites show many posts of owners hanging this issue. I was never shown a bulletin on any reported issues and would like to see every one related to the 8 speed transmission. My standard powertain warranty has expired after 5 years. I fear the value of this vehicle is impacted by so many complaint, no action by NTSB, and questionable practices by two GM dealers that serviced my vehicle. I would like to see a recall as this isn’t just my issue. I would like to see what investigation NTSB has done on this topic. I have printed service re odds for each I have complained about the transmission and now believe the dealer was aware of the issue and GM bulletins coached them how to tell me there is no issue. The last statement made was also odd, the service advisor told me that the clink is because the transmission sometimes goes from 3rd to 1st and skips second gear. I was charged to have them look for a problem and if this a known issue to both GM and the NTSB shame on you both.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Started my truck to go to the store. When me and my son got in we could smell like hot plastic burning. Figured someone was burning trash so we proceeded to the store. About a mile down the road it sounded like someone fired a gun inside the cab of the truck. So being a combat veteran it triggered me! I instantly swung for the back seat thinking someone was back there and noticed the rear sliding window on the drivers side had blown and shattered. I found a recall online that gm had put out about this specific issue happening. So when I called Varney Gmc of Bangor Maine. They told me the recall had Ben done at 97000 miles and there was nothing they could do unless I paid for it…

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Fully enclosed LED tail light (turn and brake integrated into 1 LED "strip") with no visible moisture ingress/egress system showing retained moisture and no longer functional. Dash light for "rear signal brake light failure" appears. This rear light unit is NOT serviceable or repairable when a light goes out and is fully sealed aside from the reverse light (incandescent bulb and functions fine). LED's should have a lifespan that outlives the vehicle and a major incentive to have LED integration with lighting is the lifespan and reduced need for service. Now the taillight and brake light stop working and can not be fixed without spending <$500 per side. This is a safety issue that seems to be closely related to the issues with the GMC Yukon's of the same generation.

Potential Consequences:
The trailer brake system is displaying a warning. The truck has less than 50,000 miles and the tow option has never been used. I am told that it would be risky to use it without repair. this is a safety issue that should be a recall. I have checked and there are thousands with the same issue and it has gone on for years without being addressed by GM or NHTSA. It's time to step up and take care of this situation. There is no telling how many have been injured or killed by this. if nothing is done I will approach someone in the media.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
While parking I was backing up to straighten the truck in the space. When I went to stop I noticed that "normal" pedal pressure was not stopping the truck and I could tell vacuum was not available to boost the brakes, causing me to have to "stand on the pedal", almost causing me to hit the car behind me. I purchased the truck used four months ago and when checking recalls the nhtsa says none are open so I assume it has been addressed but didn't fix the issue obviously.

While parking I was backing up to straighten the truck in the space. When I went to stop I noticed that "normal" pedal pressure was not stopping the truck and I could tell vacuum was not available to boost the brakes, causing me to have to "stand on the pedal", almost causing me to hit the car behind me. I purchased the truck used four months ago and when checking recalls the nhtsa says none are open so I assume it has been addressed but didn't fix the issue obviously.
Additional Notes:
