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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
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.

Air bags, frontalJul 10, 2017
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.

Steering, electric power assist systemJun 29, 2017
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.
If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-432-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17276.

ALSO THE SERVICE TRAILER BREAK SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY POP UP ON DASH SCREEN AND IMMEDIATELY CLEAR ITSELF AND KEEP GOING OFF REPEATEDLY BACK TO BACK ANNOYING YOU TO DEATH. THIS TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A HIGH SAFETY RATING FOR I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND I DON'T NEED A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES SHUTTING OFF IN MIDDLE OF TURN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS WITH ME. THE SHUTTING OFF AND THE TRAILER BREAK SYSTEM HAS BEEN STEADILY GETTING WORSE. GM NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED OR THEY WILL HAVE LEGAL ACTIONS FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

PAINT ON MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO IS CHIPPING OR FLAKING OFF FOR REASONS OTHER THAN NATURAL CAUSES. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT. THE PAINT SHOULD IN NO WAY BE FAILING WITH A VEHICLE THIS NEW AND THIS EXPENSIVE. AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PHOTOS THE PAINT NOT STICKING IS IN AREAS THAT DO NOT INCUR DAMAGE FROM EVERYDAY DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND GM MANUFACTURER AND BOTH HAVE TOLD ME THAT PAINT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. WHEN I DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "2014 SILVERADO PAINT," THERE ARE 100S OF FORUMS WITH 1000S OF COMMENTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ONE OF THE FIRST PICTURES I CAME TO WHEN I SEARCHED, SHOWED THE SAME VEHICLE WITH PAINT GONE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOTS. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER NUMEROUS TIMES, I FELT THIS WAS ONE OF MY LAST RESORTS. THE MANUFACTURER LAUGHED ME OFF AND SAID NHTSA WOULD PAY NO ATTENTION AS PAINT ISNT A SAFETY CONCERN. SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WITHOUT ME HAVING TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO REPAINT. IT'S A CLEAR MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY ALL STANDARDS. THE COST OF THEIR VEHICLES BEING SO HIGH, ALL PARTS SHOULD LAST FOR MORE THAN 55000 MILES, INCLUDING THE PAINT. AGAIN, THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND LOSES PAINT JUST BY DRIVING WITH A BREEZE OUT. ASIDE FROM THE 2 PHOTOS ATTACHED, I'M ALSO LOSING PAINT AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND LOW ON THE DOOR PANELS.

THIS IS THE WORST PAINT JOB I HAVE EVER HAD ON A VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM PASO ROBLES CHEVROLET ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2014. BY SUMMER OF 2018, THE PAINT HAD STARTED PEELING OFF THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF CHEVROLETS. CHEVROLET AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HELP. THIS YEAR I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO GET THE DOORS PAINTED WHICH COST ME $2,500. WHILE AT THE BODY SHOP, THEY DISCOVERED THREE MORE PLACES THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING OFF. I PUT IN ANOTHER CASE WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE.

THE WAX COATING TO PREVENT RUST ON THE TRUCK'S FRAME IS FALLING OFF. THE FRAME HAS A MAJOR RUST PROBLEM; THE TRUCK HAVING A LOW MILEAGE OF 25,801 AT THE TIME I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY CASE #9-559725037 AND #9-5593674272. THE TRUCK WAS EXAMINED AT BALISE CHEVROLET OF SPRINGFIELD MA. PHONE #413-734-6498, FAX #413-734-4421 WHERE THEY TOOK PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM. BALISE ADVISED ME IT WOULD COST $1200.00 TO FIX THIS RUST PROBLEM. BALISE ASSIGNED A REPAIR ORDER #667705 AND CONTACTED GM. GM ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COSTS, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM TO GM IN THE MANUFACTURING OF CHEVY PICK-UP TRUCKS FROM 2014 TO 2018. I DISCOVERED THE FRAME RUST ONLY BY CHANCE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS ON A LIFT FOR A FLAT TIRE REPAIR WHILE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I LOOKED INTO THE INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR CHEVY TRUCK FRAME RUST, (NHTSA #S P10564D AND P10564H, TSB # 14002A, NHTSA ID # 10067212) AND A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION # SB-144002A. IT IS MY BELIEF THE RUST FRAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM/CHEVY BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN TO THE COMPANY. GM/CHEVY SHOULD HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL ON THIS HIDDEN DEFECT, LONG BEFORE I DISCOVERED IT BY CHANCE AND MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. PLEASE NOTE THE LOW MILEAGE OF MY TRUCK IS UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET, AND WHENEVER I WOULD SIGNAL LEFT TO MERGE INTO THE OTHER LANE, THE CRUISE WOULD DISENGAGE. I COULD RESET IT AS USUAL IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, BUT IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE, SO I TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, AS WELL AS MYLINK WINDOW IN CENTER CONSOLE AREA. IT WOULD ALSO GO NUTS IF I ROLLED UP THE WINDOW AND HOLD A SECOND PAST THE TIME WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP. I HAD MULTIPLE LIGHTS WITHIN DASH LIGHT UP, THEN GO OFF (REALLY SCARY). HAPPENED TOO FAST TO TELL WHAT LIGHTS LIT UP. ADDITIONALLY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY OF MY FRIEND'S HOUSE. HE EVEN COMMENTED IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TURN, SO IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION. THIS EPISODE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE HAD DIED (BUT IT HAD NOT DONE SO). I HAVE READ WHERE THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF CHEVY TRUCKS, BUT FOUND NO RECALL INFORMATION ON MY VIN. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IF MY ELECTRONICS AND/OR MY STEERING GO OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WRECK, GM WILL HAVE MAJOR LEGAL ISSUES ON THEIR HANDS. I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG CHEVY OWNER AND ALWAYS KEEP MY VEHICLES IN TIP-TOP SHAPE. THEREFORE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVED BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AS WELL AS MY DASH RADIO THAT FLASHED OFF AND CAME RIGHT BACK ON. WHILE THESE OTHER TWO THINGS WERE GOING ON A MESSAGE ON THE DASH APPEARED AS "SERVICE STABILITRAK". ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEED AS MENTIONED BEFORE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND SUDDENLY THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED AND THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE APPEARED ALONG WITH THE "DEACTIVED POWER STEERING", AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING. ALSO IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN I SIGNAL WHILE GOING OVER 70MPH, THIS IS USUALLY THE THING THAT COMMENCES ALL OF THE MESSAGES AND FLICKERING OF LIGHTS ALONG WITH WHAT I MENTIONED ABOVE.

2014 SILVERADO 1500 QUALITY ISSUES MY 2014 SILVERADO 1500 NEEDS A NEW $1,840 RADIATOR/OIL COOLER. THE TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES PURCHASED NEW 5+ YEARS AGO, SO IT EXCEEDS THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. AT MY LAST 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE, THE OIL WAS FOUND TO BE 2 QUARTS LOW WITH OIL IN THE COOLANT. GM HAS REFUSED (TWICE) TO ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE I DID NOT USE A GM AUTO SERVICE FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES WITH DURABLEND BY AN INDEPENDENT QUICK OIL CHANGE SERVICE, A MILEAGE THAT EXCEEDS THE GM 7,500 MILEAGE RECOMMENDATION. I EXPLAINED TO GM CEO MARY BARA THAT I WAS UPSET WITH THIS DECISION - A TRUCK WITH 48,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS QUALITY PROBLEMS. I FURTHER ADVISED THAT I WOULD SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED - BUT LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS. NOW THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CHARGING ME $147 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M NOT ENGAGING THEM TO DO THE REPAIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS CHRONIC QUALITY PROBLEMS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING INTERNET -ALSO A FRIEND HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH YUKON. OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE I OWN.
