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.

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.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist, especially during low-speed turning maneuvers.

Issue first noticed when backing into a parking spot, at low speeds, when I turn the wheel I look power steering abilitiy and have to fight to turn the wheel. At the same time I have issues with the electrical system...radio cuts off/on, stabitrack warning, doors unlock then lock, ac cuts off/on. After this happening very randomly for a few months it has progressively gotten worse. Most recently I was turning left on a busy street and the same above mentioned things happened, stalling me out in the middle of the street. I was luckly not to get hit due to a couple defensive drives able to avoid me. I have already hadthe Safety Recall fixed (#17276), however its the same exact symptoms as the recall.

My truck has developed a radiator leak after 39930 miles. I see from reading on the Internet this is a very common problem with this year of truck. Chevrolet even has a recall to replace the radiator but says my truck is not included. The recall notice is #15829. This ends up being a very expensive repair. I have been quoted $1428.00 by a Chevrolet dealer to replace radiator.

I CHOSE A USED 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 180K MILES. I MET MY SALESPERSON, BERNARD, ON SITE AT PUGMIRE FORD, IN CARROLLTON, GA. WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE TRUCK HAD OFF ROAD TIRES, SO I REQUESTED THAT PUGMIRE PUT REGULAR TIRES ON THE TRUCK BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. THEY AGREED AND THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED A FEW DAYS LATER. SOON AFTER DELIVERY, I NOTICED A SOFT NOISE SEEMINGLY COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I INFORMED MY SALESPERSON BERNARD OF THE ISSUE. HE ASKED ME TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK FOR REVIEW. I DID & BERNARD TOLD ME 'IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DRIVECYCLES'. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM SO I HAD THE OBD CHECKED, THAT INDICATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED. I SENT THE DOCUMENT TO BERNARD, THEN I ASKED IF THE VEHICLE HAD A RECENT EMISSIONS INSPECTION, HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE APOLOGIZED, BUT STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, I REMINDED BERNARD 1. IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT PASS EMISSIONS 2. THAT MY BANK HAD NOT YET MAILED THE CHECK. WITH THAT MIND, PUGMIRE FORD FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SO I AGREED TO AUTHORIZE MY BANK TO SEND THE CHECK. PUGMIRE HAD ARRANGED FOR THE TRUCK TO BE FIXED AT G&S AUTO AND THEY PAID FOR THE WORK. BUT AFTER REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO G&S TO ASK WHY. THAT'S WHEN THEY DETERMINED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED DUE TO INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THEY RECOMMENDED ANOTHER SHOP FOR A 2ND OPINION. THAT SHOP IS CALLED ALL PRO AUTOMOTIVE. ALL PRO CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE AND PROVIDED A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIRS. PUGMIRE FORD VOIDED ALL CLAIMS OF THE VEHICLE BEING AN AN 'AS-IS' PURCHASE WHEN THEY PAID TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THEY TOOK OWNERSHIP OF IT, AND OPTED OUT AFTER THEY RECEIVED THE CHECK FROM MY BANK.

1) TRANSMISSION WHEN OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 ML PER HOUR, TRUCK ONLY HAD 107,000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION MORE LIKE A REBUILD TRANSMISSION FROM THE DEALER. 2) MY AIR CONDITIONER WHEN OUT 9 MONTHS LATER AFTER REPLACING TRANSMISSION, THERE WAS A LEAK ON THE A/C CONDENSER, DEALER REPLACE THE CONDENSER TWO YEARS LATER AIR CONDITIONER WHEN OUT A GAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM A/C CONDENSER LEAKING THE CONDENSER THAT DEALER REPLACE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON P06DD. INITIALLY IT WAS A OIL INJECTOR THAT NEEDED REPLACING WITHIN THE FIRST 4 YEARS OF PURCHASE OF A NEW TRUCK. WHEN THE CODE COMES ON LATER IT'S THE OIL PUMP. OIL PUMP HAS A PRESSURE SWITCH ON IT THAT SAYS PUMP OIL AT 10 PPM, IF IT GOES AT 7 PPM IT WILL CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.THE OIL PRESSURE GOING INTO THE ENGINE AT 7 PPM IS NOT S SERIOUS ISSUE AND SHOULDN'T CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.I LIVE IN A STATE COUNTY WHERE YOU CAN'T REGISTER YOUR 1500 TRUCK FOR A NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATION WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.THE DEALER WANTS TO BILL ME 10 HOURS OF LABOR BECAUSE OF WHERE THE OIL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE.THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $1,000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT FO THE OIL PUMP AND THE CONNECTED SENSOR.I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL EFFORT HAPPEN WHICH WILL NOT MAKE THE SENSOR ENACT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR SMALL IRREVERENT DISCRETION WITH THE PRESSURE SWITCH.

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND I COULDN'T GO OVER 40MPH. THE TRUCK WOULD JUMP AND BOUNCE AND MAKE LOUD SCREECHING NOISES. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL THE TRANSMISSION. I ASKED A FAMILY FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED IT. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM. THE MOTOR WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES CHANGING FROM V8-V4 ALSO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY PEOPLE THAT I NEED TO GET A TUNER TO DELETE THE COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT CHANGES THE AMOUNT OF CYLINDERS FIRING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN/HEARD TRUCKS THAT GO WITHOUT THE DELETE TOO LONG. ALSO, MY POWER STEERING WILL FAIL AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE TURNING. GM FAILS TO SEE THAT MY TRUCK HAS THIS ISSUE. SAYING IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN.
