LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES DURING LOW SPEED REVERSE OR WHEN BACKING DOWN AN INCLINE, THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL I EXERTED CONSIDERABLE FORCE WITH BOTH LEGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN REVERSING WITH A TRAILER AND WHEN REVERSING WITHOUT A TRAILER. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 17, 2019 WHEN BACKING A BOAT AND TRAILER DOWN AN INCLINE AT A BOAT LAUNCH RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE WATER, BUT IT TOOK CONSIDERABLE FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP, KOLAR CHEVROLET DULUTH, OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE TWICE IN 2018 AND AGAIN MOST RECENTLY ON MAY 23, 2019. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT TAKE FURTHER ACTION UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

Official recalls
6Oct 24, 2019
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.

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.
