Electronic stability control (ESC)
- What is wrong
- 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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc yukon. While driving at an unknown speed, the ABS and brake warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to buick gmc of kirkland (12335 120th ave ne, kirkland, wa 98034, (877) 505-6211) where it was diagnosed that the front driver and passenger side wheel speed sensors needed to be replaced.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000. *dt
The electric power steering assist may fail momentarily and then suddenly function again. This can cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing risk of a crash. Although there is a recall which describes exactly what is happening recall 18v586000 the dealer says there is no recall for my vehicle at low speeds when I back up or turn I lose power momentarily then it comes back
Engine shuts off, steering assist disappears and steering wheel is jerked out of my hand, stabilitrak warnings on dash, HVAC screen goes blank, chimes start going off. This occurred as I was pulling into a parking lot and I almost hit another car. The vehicle was moving at no more than 10mph.
I have had an on-going issue with the steering, electrical and power steering and stability control. I have had repeated issues with the stability control turning off, sudden drop in electrical power, the steering wheel gets violently yanked out of your hands and sometime the car completely cuts off. Fortunately most have been at slow speeds or else the car would have flipped. It is the exact same issue other models have been recalled for but my VIN is not included in that recall. I am afraid of this issue killing me or my loved ones should it happen at speed or leave us stuck in front of on coming traffic. According to my dealer this is an issue the manufacture has know about for a while.
Component affected: stabilitrac module cause: a power short in the electrical wiring harness inside the steering wheel column caused the stabilitrac (stability control) module to malfunction. Unsafe condition: the steering wheel would turn a full 180 degrees on its own at idle/low speed. At higher speeds, the car would pull to the left or right. The "service stabilitrac" light would activate on the dash and message displayed "stabilitrac disabled". Remedy: the steering wheel wiring harness was repaired and the stabilitrac module was replaced by my gmc dealership in the summer of 2017, the issue has not occurred since.
