EVERY SO OFTEN MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MOVING THE SEATS BACK AND FORTH AND A WIRE ISSUE. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR SHORTLY AFTER THIS STARTED HAPPENING. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT REPAIRING THE RECALL THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THE FRONT AND I'D HATE FOR THIS TO EXPLODE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THEM OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. WHEN WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION? HOW WILL WE KNOW THE PART IS AVAILABLE? PLEASE FIX ASAP!!

A SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE ALMOST WENT OUT OF CONTROL WHILE I WAS ON A TWO LANE DUAL HIGHWAY.

THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AND HAS BEEN NOTED TO BE HAPPENING IN QUITE A NUMBER OF THESE LIMITED PRODUCTION VEHICLES. *TR

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE (BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR) WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIST, SERVICE ABS ON LED SCREEN, AND RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WARNING CHIMES. NO PREVIOUS WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS SIGNALING A PROBLEM. HAD SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED IT WAS CAUSED BY FAILING HYBRID BATTERY. AFTER BEING IN FOR SERVICE FOR 52 DAYS, I RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED. ONE WEEK LATER, WE EXPERIENCED ANOTHER BRAKING ISSUE. THIS TIME WHILE THERE WAS SOME BRAKING ABILITY THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY (I.E. THEY DID SLOW THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY BUT DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE OR SLOW IT AS IT SHOULD HAVE). BROUGHT BACK IN FOR SERVICE AT A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO STATES THAT THE PBMV FAILED. HOW CAN THIS FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING? SHOULDN'T THERE BE SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE (I.E. THE CAR SHOULD NOT EVEN START IF THIS IS MALFUNCTIONING).

ISSUE STARTED BY HAVING THE ENGINE CUTOFF OR GO INTO LOW POWER MODE. MECHANIC TRIED FINING POWER ISSUES, ENDED UP REPLACING PCM BOARD. ISSUE REMAINED. THEN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE. NEXT LOW OIL PRESSURE MESSAGE CAME UP, STATING TO SHUT OFF ENGINE. AFTER READING AROUND, THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR IS BEING STARVED OF OIL DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE, THAT IS CAUSED BY THE CAMSHAFT AND BEARINGS BEING BAD. THIS FAULTY PART CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE RUNNING, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! HOW LONG UNTIL SOMEONE DIES? NEED GM TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. VEHICLE IS UNDER 80K MILES.

AFTER THIS OCCURRED FOR ABOUT ONE MILE, THE STRANGE OCCURRENCES STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE AS SHOULD, OR AT LEAST IT SEEMED OKAY. AFTER READING SOME OF THE BLOG'S OF OTHER 2012 ESCALADE OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, GM SHOULD TAKE NOTICE, AFTER ALL THE VEHICLES ARE NOT CHEAP AND GM SHOULD CORRECT IT.

ON THE INDICATED DATE MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING FROM DALLAS, TX TO ANN ARBOR, MI. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND WE WERE ON I-44 APPROX. 20 MILES SOUTH OF ROLLA, MO. AT HIGHWAY SPEED WE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND REPEATED LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND RELATED POWER SYSTEMS. THIS WAS EVIDENCED BY DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY CLICKING ON AND OFF, NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE, AIR CONDITIONING FAILURE, STABILITRACK FAILURE AND LACK OF POWER STEERING. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO ONSTAR AND THE USE OF OUR CELL PHONES WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE A DEALER IN ROLLA. WE ??LIMPED?? INTO THE DEALER AFTER EXPERIENCING SEVERAL MORE ADVERSE FAILURE INCIDENTS. THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE THROUGH RUNNING HIS DIAGNOSTICS. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP. UNFORTUNATELY THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE RECURRED ON JUNE 21, 2014 WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN THE DALLAS, TX AREA AND AGAIN, TWICE, DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH IN FRISCO, TX ON JUNE 23, 2014. THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE ON THOSE DATES AND REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. DURING THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE SEEKING ASSURANCES THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THE LATEST ??FIX?? WAS GOING TO PERMANENTLY CORRECT THIS SAFETY AND RELIABILITY PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY FIXED. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE WILL HAVE A RE-OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING LOCKING PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED OR CORRECTED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY LOCKS OR UNLOCKS WHILE EITHER PARKED OR MOVING CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE VEHICLE UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE MOVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON FOUR (4) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO CORRECT THIS LOCKING DEFECT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TOTAL OF 45 DAYS DURING 2012 ON ACCOUNT OF THIS RANDOM LOCKING ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TELLS US THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH OUR ESCALADE, AS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME UNRESOLVED PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO BOTH HIS OWN EXPERIENCE AND HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CADILLAC TECHNICAL SUPPORT PERSONNEL.. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ABOUT THIS LOCKING ISSUE, TO NO AVAIL. THEY SIMPLY DENY THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE REPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSE TO OPEN THEIR DATA BASE TO US REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. PERHAPS YOUR AGENCY HAS MORE CLOUT IN MAKING THEIR DATA BASE TRANSPARENT WITH REGARD TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500/3500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands or "Zone A." These vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated passenger frontal inflators containing phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on February 22, 2021. Second notification letters will be mailed once the remedy is available. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006; Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020; and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212328770.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.

Risk: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC).
