Recalls and investigations

  1. Seat belts, frontApr 8, 2021

    General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles that may have received an incorrect replacement tensioner cable assembly as part of a previous recall remedy or a subsequent repair. The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.

    A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.

    GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212330040.

  2. Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 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.

    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.

    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.

    General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.

    As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

    GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. 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.

    The 6L80 is known for there bad parts and going out. The transmissions are braking down on accout of poor craftsmanship and cheap parts. Plus my truck is shutting off and back on while driving which caused me to rear-end another truck and not one air bag deployed and it pushed the other trucks bumper all the way under his tail gate and my front bumper has enough damage that the airbags should've went off

    Don't get gears skipping gear

  3. Power train, Engine, Jan 17, 2024

    AFM Lifters failure: - During the AFM activation and deactivation the lifters on my truck were observed to be collapsed causing the engine to malfunction. Transmission/Torque converter: Clunking noise when shifting between gears Makies noise when the gear is in neutral Rough shifting “Chevy Shake” - My truuk shakes violently while driving over 35 miles per hour, tires, alignment, etc was been tripple checked and replaced, dealer states it is within spec (even the shacking).

    The vehicle is now at 158,109 Mi as of January 5th 2024 at approximately 148,000 to 152,000 Mi I noticed the transmission and or the rear differential starting to slip have play and making various noises and sounds along with a jerking feeling where you would hit the gas and you could see the tachometer wind up a little bit and then when it seems the gears would catch or however it works it would jerk you forward with a bang feeling like somebody hit you from behind but there's no one back there a few times I would hit the gas to leave from a stop and merge into traffic and the vehicle would not move at all until 2 or 3 seconds had passed for the engine and transmission to finally catch up with each other or something I've noticed many recalls and problems on these Transmissions as well as the same issues on a previous Chevy Silverado 2014 I had prior to this one I'm very concerned that at some point I'm going to try and enter a traffic situation and not be able to have forward motion taking a chance on being part of a collision due to the vehicle not moving forward as required when you hit the gas pedal. I've noticed signs of fluid around my rear differential cover I continuously check the fluid in the transmission it is always fine I would like to have it checked out as the engine is an excellent motor with no obvious problems I take care of it changing the oil and Performing maintenance regularly as expected and required.

  5. Power train, Dec 14, 2023

    Going into neutral on its own almost causing a accident and slipping. Yes inspected by service department. No warning

  6. Power train, Dec 8, 2023

    I had been driving for about 45 minutes. When I was driving and hit a speed of 50 mph, it felt like my truck was on a bumpy road and I could hear the banging and feel the hesitation and shakes. Then it felt like I was being hit by another vehicle at low speed. When I slowed down below 50, it seemed to have stopped. But when I stopped to get gas it started back up again. Because I was at least 30 miles from home, I called my husband and he told me to drive back home immediately. It seems to be getting worse and at lower speeds. This is my only source of transportation as I am disabled and cannot afford the ridiculous amount they want to just diagnose it.

  7. Power train, Oct 2, 2023

    The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where unknown repairs were performed on the transmission; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at 85 MPH, the transmission downshifted, and the engine made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who performed unknown repairs; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the torque converter. After driving the vehicle approximately 2,000 miles, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who replaced the torque converter again. The torque converter was replaced four times; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V374000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

  8. Power train, Aug 18, 2023

    When I attempt to speed up or slow down my truck hesitates, and it's followed by a significant shake, like a shudder, and sometimes it just jerks, or clunks, like it's doing a very “hard shift” when the automatic transmission changes the gears. Sometimes it shifts so violently, I feel like I got hit by another vehicle. I've also tried to accelerate into traffic, and the truck hesitate and then abruptly and violently jerks into gear. It creates a big traffic safety issue! Other times the transmission shifts gears so hard that it slams the truck forward, and makes feels like I've been rear-ended.

  9. Steering, Power train, Electrical system, May 14, 2023

    Vehicle will start flashing stability control and starts jerking from passenger side. Along with vehicle randomly shutting off while traveling and turning back on with steering wheel slanted (wheels not aligned) and saying “ power steering reduced, drive with care”.

  10. Power train, May 9, 2023

    The transmission and transfer case malfunctioned and then failed. It was out in 4wd low to grab a trailer out of our field and I pulled back onto the driveway, put the truck back into neutral, and lost all gears. The truck wouldn’t shift or move at all. Purchased a transfer case motor and installed, but the truck would barely move so I hauled it to a shop for further inspection. Upon inspection of the vehicle I was told that the transmission needs replacing. When the truck initially stopped shifting out of neutral it rolled down the hill and I had to run after it before it hit my fiancé and dog. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than myself and the certified technicians at the shop I towed it to. There were no warning lamps or messages or anything else until after the new transfer case motor was installed at the shop. Then the “service 4wd” warning came on. The truck will now shift itself into neutral when it is driven.

  11. Power train, Apr 25, 2023

    The torque converter has failed and less then 200,000 miles. It has caused damage to valves in the transmission. It is only on the 6L80 transmissions from GM. I have had Coleman Taylor which is a transmission shop in Tennessee look at it. They have informed me that it is the most common issue they see with that particular transmission before the failure should occur. I have spoken to multiple people with Chevrolet Silverado trucks with varying years from 2014- 2018 having to have transmissions rebuilt or replaced as soon as 70,000 miles all the way up to 150,000 for the same failure. The safety concern for myself and others on the road is the transmission can suddenly lock up due to the transmission failing. I have spoken with express Chevrolet in Covington TN the service department informed myself that there was no active recall but they feel that there should be. There was no warning that this was going to happen. The truck and transmission are sitting at my home currently and available for inspection at your earliest convenience

  12. Power train, Other or unspecified, Apr 20, 2023

    Transmission failing at 130k miles. Warning if car driving weird and then after 2 days I’m stopped in traffic go to hit the gas and nothing. Truck wouldn’t move. The 2015 has a transmission recall. A/C failing to work for the last 1.6 years. Inconvenience and apparently a common issue in the 2014 Silverado. Should be a recall since it’s so common.

  14. Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 18, 2023

    Heavy smell of gasoline in the cab and the bed of my truck as well as outside of the truck began on February 23, 2023. The truck is also harder to turn over or start since the smell has begun. Due to the gasoline smell, it is causing a nauseous feeling, severe headaches, coughing and a red flush over my wife’s face when she is in the truck. The transmission line leak has been leaking for quite some time and I have to replace the transmission fluid a least a quart of fluid every two weeks. I was not notified of the Safety Recalls for the Fuel pump pressure regulator and the Transmission oil cooler line leak/ fire danger on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I have taken my truck to be assessed by the Chevrolet Dealer on 03/13/2023, and they determined that my truck does indeed have both of these Safety Recall problems but that they will not repair them. They stated it is a closed recall and my 95k+ miles were too high. The Safety Recall Bulletin #14121 and #13370A both state no mileage limitation and declare my make and model affected by these Safety Failures. I have paid off the loan to my truck early only to be unable to drive it safely or enjoy it. I have never been late on any of my payments and was proud to pay it off early. This model truck has had several Recalls including an incident with the front wheel falling off due to a mechanical failure, that was shocking and frightening when it happened after only owning it for approx. 2 years. With the Fuel leaking and carbon monoxide, and the transmission fluid leaking, the Dealer should take responsibility and repair these problems that they know are a Safety and Fire issue as stated in the Recall Bulletins and make my vehicle operable again. I am only asking that the Dealership provide me with the Repairs they said are needed to the Failures caused by improper installations and or Faulty equipment from the manufacturer as stated in the Safety Bulletin Recalls.

    The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact stated that the engine was consuming 2-quarts of engine oil every 2 weeks. Additionally, while the vehicle was turned on, the contact smelled an abnormal odor. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V152000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

  16. Steering, Power train, Electrical system, Mar 4, 2023

    I bought this truck in Sept 2017 and have had this intermittent problem from the beginning. The first time I noticed the electrical issue was while travelling on the interstate with the cruise control on. When I would use my turn signal to signal a lane change or press the power window switch, the cruise control would go off. This has been reported to the dealer and another repair shop and they were unable to replicate the problem. This electrical issue has evolved over the years to create a significant safety issue. Occasional while driving at slow speed (I have not had this problem occur at highway speed, thankfully) the warning bell and signals would start dinging and flashing error messages. The errors would advise about stabltrak control and power steering assist. The dash lights would flash and the display screen would go blank. Occasionally the truck would die completely. I lost steering control while turning onto my road and almost went into a ditch. Luckily I was going slow (10 - 15 mph) and I was able to stop in time. The truck always restarts once I put it in park and turn the ignition. I took the truck to the dealer and they charged my over $900 to "FOUND LOW VOLTAGE AND HIGH RESISTANCE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE and REPLACED IT". This did not fix the problem. I have a video of this actually happening and will gladly send it to you. It is a .mp4 file

    The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds or making a turn, the electronic stabili-trak warning light was flashing and the steering wheel seized. The contact restarted the vehicle and steering functionality returned. Additionally, while his wife was driving and approaching a stop, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral(N). While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to move. The contact stated that the brake pedal was released, and the vehicle started rolling away. The contact restarted the vehicle and the vehicle worked as designed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to duplicate the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V246000 (Steering) and 14V374000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

    Vehicle less than 150,000 miles and transmission hasn't held up. Vehicle isn't driven hard its my daily driver to work. Transmission temperature exceeding 200 degrees on a short drive, hard shifting into 1,2,3,4 gears. I have done my research looking into other people that have had this trouble and it has become a well known problem with these vehicles. Everyone is experiencing trouble from the torque converters to the gears, and clutches. Its terrible that we are spending 10's of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that will not even hold up to 150,000 miles. These transmissions needs to be recalled and replaced. I have also done further extensive research that shows that from the GM Bulletin you can find documentation that shows that the 6L80 transmissions have problems with this exact issue. This Bulletin was published in June of 2020. If GM has listed 13 different models of 6L80 transmissions in different vehicles that are having such problems. Why hasn't this been recalled to make it right to the customers who have these vehicles. We are being ripped of our hard earned money and left with vehicles that are extremely expensive to have repaired or forced to let them go back or have no option but to trade it in and still be left with lots to pay on these vehicles.

    Transmission quit working at 125195 miles. When I called around to Chevy dealers, this is a common problem for this particular year and model. Dealer said it would cost close to $7,000 to replace with a different transmission to resolve the problem. They did not put the same make/model transmission into the truck - they put a different one due to the issues the original transmissions are having. We spent a significant amount of money to get the transmission REPLACED. The transmission needed to replace the bad one was on backorder - due to the demands. I personal feel that Chevy should have recalled the bad transmission and the cost of the repairs should have been covered by the manufacturer. I am a woman and this could have been very dangerous had the transmission quit on the highways in Portland, Oregon while commuting to or from work. Please look into this. I would like Chevy to reimburse us for the repairs we paid. I have an invoice of $4,690. Thankfully it quit a few blocks from my home. I had to have the truck towed to the dealer. That was an additional expense.

  22. Power train, Oct 18, 2022

    Transmission failed because of faulty torque converter at roughly 95,000 miles. Now the same failure has occurred at 115,000 miles. This type of failure is unsafe if it were to happen in heavy traffic or crossing an intersection. GM refuses to acknowledge the issue and demands a certified dealership diagnose the issue. I maintain my right as a consumer to use a private repair shop. They will not investigate any further with my report, without their service department, which is biased and a conflict, providing the diagnosis.

    I was driving as I usually do , this time I was in my car I had just financed and bought 3 weeks before. There was no signs or warning lights before this incident. I was driving when suddenly it wouldn’t go in to gear or any gear at all and realized my transmission was failing . I then drove it and tried to get to safe spot trying to avoid any crashes delays or other accidents. I was glad to be close by to a safe spot and not going at a fast speed on freeway or Main Street when this occurred and avoided an accident. My truck was then towed into the dealership mechanics and was waiting for a report and turns out the truck needs a transmission replacement. During the Transmission tear down and inspect they Found clutch assembly gear 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse plates all damaged. Plates missing teeth and burnt. Excessive metal inside torque converter, and valve body. Clutch drum damaged and burnt. I am now just researching recalls for 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and realized that there is a recall for power train on transmission. Stated “The subject vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in the fitting.” And the Recall consequence is “If the line is not securely seated and transmission oil leaks from the fitting, the oil could contact a hot surface and cause a vehicle fire.” By reading my experience with my trucks transmission failing and having multiple parts inside “burnt” Has me wondering if my truck was part of this recall and how worse it could have been if it would have caught in fire. My dealership failed to mention any problems and stated they “take every vehicle through a mechanical inspection and smog Saftey.” I can’t believe only 3 weeks of having this truck and no warning signs and to just completely just shut off and have the transmission destroyed/burnt is a horrible experience.
