FOLLOWING THE OWNER?S MANUAL INSTRUCTION TO BURNISH THE BREAKS, I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AREA WHERE I COULD GO FROM ZERO TO 60 MPH THEN BREAK, 50 TIMES IN 10 MINUTES. ON ABOUT THE 40TH CYCLE, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND STARTED TO ?REV LIMIT? AND A WARNING CAME ON THAT SAID TO CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL, WHICH I JUST HAD DONE. THE FINAL TEN CYCLES TOOK A LOT LONGER TO GET TO 60. THE HVAC SYSTEM WAS OFF DURING THE PROCEDURE, THE TEMP OF THE COOLANT GOT CLOSE TO 320F, AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE SAID 103F. AFTER THE 50TH RUN I DROVE THE CAR AT ABOUT 60 MPH UNTIL THE ENGINE GOT TO A SAFE TEMPERATURE THAN I TURNED ON THE AIR AND GOT THE SAME TOXIC ODOR I EXPERIENCED WHEN I FIRST TOOK DELIVERY. IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND I HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOWS. I HAD GONE THROUGH GREAT LENGTHS TO GET RID OF THAT ODOR AND THOUGHT IT WAS AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL BEFORE THE BURNISHING. I ALWAYS LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE, I PUT THE CAR IN THE DIRECT SUN FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH DOORS AND BACK OPEN, AND THE TOP OFF, AND EVEN LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR SIX HOURS ONE DAY WITH THE AIR ON. I HAD ALSO DRIVEN THE CAR WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN FOR TWO HOURS WITH THE HEATER AT MAX TEMP. THE ODOR WAS OF SUCH A CONCERN THAT TWO DOCTORS SUGGESTED I SELL THE CAR. HERE IN CALIFORNIA 115F DEGREES OR MORE IS NOT UNCOMMON, AND OFTEN MUCH HIGHER ON BLACK PAVEMENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT I DON?T KNOW WHEN THE CAR MIGHT OVERHEAT AGAIN AND PRODUCE MORE TOXIC FUMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE IGNORED THE HEATING PROBLEM AND SAID HE COULD NOT SMELL ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE NEW CAR SMELL. THEY DID CHANGE THE OIL FREE OF CHARGE AND GIVE ME A ?2015 CORVETTE TRACK PREPARATION? FLYER THAT SPECIFIED DIFFERENT VISCOSITY OIL AND A DIFFERENT BURNISHING PROCEDURE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO DATE OR NUMBER ON THAT FLYER.

17V437000 · Air Bags:frontal; Air Bags:frontal:sensor/control MODULE-INACTIVE ; Seat Belts:pretensioner

Jul 10, 2017

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.
