POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-09-03
- VIN: 1GTV2NEJ1HZ
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: HAVE HAD THIS INTO THE DEALER AT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES AND IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. COMPLAINTS ARE: HARD SHIFT, IT CLUNKS BOTH UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING. GOING AROUND CORNERS FROM A STOP THE TRUCK WILL EITHER FALL ON ITS FACE OR JERKS YOU VIOLENTLY FORWARD. IN STOP OR GO TRAFFIC IT IS UNSAFE AND HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY- IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATES (JUMPS) QUICKLY ON ITS OWN WITH SLIGHT PEDAL PRESSURE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE AWARE AND HAVE YOUR FOOT NEAR THE BRAKE OR YOU CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT, ITS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONICS GET CONFUSED ON HOW TO ACT. FEEL SHUDDERING FROM TRUCK'S MOTOR WHERE COLUMN SHIFT LEVER WOULD SHUDDER VIOLENTLY WHERE I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD VIBRATE OUT OF POSITION. ROUGH IDLE IS INCONSISTENT AT LOWER SPEED WHERE YOU SEE TACH GOING UP AND DOWN. STARTING COLD YOU GIVE IT AN EASY PEDAL TO MOVE AND WOULDN'T GO. TRANS DOESN'T KICK IN UNTIL YOU PRESS HARDER AND SOMETIMES WILL LUNGE. HAVE TAKEN INTO THE VARIOUS DEALERS 5-6 TIMES, VALVE BODY CHANGE, ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS CHANGE AND DEALERS CAN FIND NO FIX. GM POWERTRAIN WAS EVEN INVOLVED WITH NO HELP. COMPLAINED TO THE GMC HOTLINE AND THEY SAID NEED 12,000 MILES ON TRUCK BEFORE THE TRUCK KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE 'SMART' TRANSMISSION WHERE IT LEARNS YOU'RE DRIVING HABITS. COMPLAINED THERE ARE 2 OF US THAT DRIVE IT HOW CAN IT LEARN EACH INDIVIDUALS DRIVING WHEN IT DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHO IS DRIVING. THEY FINALLY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR IT, THAT IS THE WAY IT IS. THIS ALL HAPPENS SPORADICALLY IN BOTH CITY LOW SPEED DRIVING AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, TURNING, BACKING UP OR GOING FORWARD FROM PARKING. BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES, DIDN'T REALLY DRIVE THE TRUCK MUCH BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS.

- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
- Summary: General Motors (GM) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks. The front seat belt retractor assemblies were built with the incorrect torsion bar. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
- Consequence: The seat belt retractors may not perform as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace both front seat belt retractor assemblies, free of charge. The recall began March 24, 2021. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's numbers for this recall are 17368, 17375, and 17376.

- Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- Summary: 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: 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. GM's number for this recall is 17287.
