Over the last 3 years we have had ongoing issues with our truck going into limp mode. We have spent thousands of dollars at dealerships and mechanics trying to troubleshoot the issue. Several occasions while trying to merge onto the freeway the truck would slip into limp mode causing us to have other drivers slam on their breaks almost hitting us. We had 2 cars in January of 2023 veer off the side of the road. We pulled over and thankfully they missed hitting one another. We just couldn't speed up to get out of their way. We cant believe their hasnt been a safety recall on the TCM for these trucks. GMC started doing Service bulletins in 2013 about the TCM causing the limp mode issues. There are dedicated facebook groups with over a 1,000 followers who are experiencing the same issues with these TCM's. Someone is going to die if they havent already. Several collisions, involving the years affected, are being re-investigated to determine why the vehicle slowed abruptly causing a fatal accident. A class action lawsuit is gaining momentum because GM will not do anything about the TCM.

The transmission control module failed while towing my trailer. I had my family loaded in the truck and the failure happened in a busy intersection, nearly causing several accidents as I was unable to move the vehicle. Now I’m told that these TCM’s are on back order with no repair date known. My truck has already been down for a month now and I’m told this could be up to a year waiting for the part. I’m told that there are thousands of these on back order and GM is doing nothing to fix it. This is inexcusably dangerous. These modules have an unprecedented failure rate and give no warning on when they will fail as they are an electronic component. You could be left stranded in an extremely dangerous intersection like I was with my family with no way to move, or on some dark canyon road. This issue must be addressed! GM needs to take on the responsibility and accountability to ensure that these TCMs are replaced with a reliable part. Trucks from 2007-2015 are all susceptible to failure. That is a massive amount of vehicles! Help us get this problem fixed!

LIFE THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM: WHILE MERGING INTO HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC ON [XXX] IN CHARLOTTE NC, MY 2010 GMC SIERRA RAPIDLY DECELERATED FROM APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH TO 10 MPH. TWO TRACTOR-TRAILER TRUCKS GOING AT LEAST 70 MPH NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING ME . ONLY THE LACK OF TRAFFIC ON THERE RIGHT SIDE PREVENTED A MAJOR DISASTER. MY DASHBOARD SHOWED A ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE SABILITRAK WARNINGS, AND THE ENGINE IDLED ERRATICALLY AS I MANEUVERED OFF THE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS ENGINEER DESIGN PUT THE SAFETY AND LIVES OF MANY AT RISK BY DUMPING ENGINE POWER TO WHAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS AT HIGH SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. IN APRIL 2018, APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AGO, I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER COMPLETED A $679 REPLACEMENT OF MY THROTTLE-BODY GASKET AND GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY (SEE ATTACHED RECEIPT). THE TRUCK DROVE WITHOUT ISSUE UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED. NOW, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY, THE DEALER EXPLAINS THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION AND THEY ARE NOW COMPLETING ANOTHER $600+ REPAIR, REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS (REPAIR BILL NOT YET AVAILABLE). BASED ON THIS TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR HISTORY, A CONSUMER IS NEVER GETTING A GUARANTEED PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL, and 2009-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 and Sierra 3500 vehicles 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." Additionally, GM is recalling certain 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia or "Zone B." 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 March 1, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020; Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006; and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212328760.
