  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.

  Risk: 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.

   The vacuum pump has been recalled on same year, make and model vehicle, yet my particular VIN is falling to the wayside. IT HAS A VACUUM PUMP issue, causing the brakes to malfunction at slower rates of speed. A "computer programming recall" was applied to my VIN however it is the ACTUAL Vacuum pump that is the problem. This should have been covered in all year, make and models. BRAKES ARE IMPORTANT! Reprogramming did not solve the vacuum pump issue that is causing the brakes…

   The brakes on my GMC Sierra 1500 lose braking power when operating at slow speeds. The brake pedal will lose braking power, causing the vehicle to not stop at slow speeds. This is particularly troubling when pulling into and out of parking spots, driveways, crosswalks, and other areas. I use my truck to pull a boat and when I back my boat into the water at a boat launch, the brakes will lose power when I am in reverse causing the truck to slid into the water.

   I am experiencing an issue with a hard brake pedal on my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. This same issue was previously addressed through a recall and special coverage program by GM, which I had performed. However, the hard brake pedal condition has returned, significantly impairing stopping power at low speeds. This poses a serious safety risk, especially when towing or parking. I can no longer park my trailer safely. The vehicle is difficult to stop, and braking distance has…

   I was backing my boat down the ramp and the brakes were giving out. I know this was a recall issue, in the past, that I had repaired. Clearly, they repaired it with the same faulty part because it has happened again. When I took it to be repaired they said I had to pay for it this time. The issue wasn't resolved but only deferred until later, with a temporary fix. I could have ended up in the river and drowned. Paying the dealership to fix a safety issue caused by their…
