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.

THE REAR END WENT OUT AT CHRISTMAS (2016) REALLY. COME ON CHEVY YOU'VE GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THIS. OFFER IS SOMETHING FOR OUR TROUBLES. WILL NOT BUY OR RECOMMEND A CHEVY PRODUCT.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 55 MPH. I SAY THE LIGHT TURN RED AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. THERE WERE NO BRAKES AS THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP WITHOUT CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. I WAS TOWED TO MY DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT AND SEEMS TOO DANGEROUS FOR SUCH A NEW VEHICLE.
Seats, Jan 9, 2017, crash
I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT (I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME AT A DRY, MUTLI-TURN LANE LIGHT) NOV 15, 2016. AFTER COLLISION REPAIRS TO THE VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WOULD NOT RECLINE. DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT, IT RECLINED BUT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP AND REQUIRED METAL SEAT BACK FRAME REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE FAILURE. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T OR WOULDN'T IDENTIFY THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT RESULTED FROM THE ACCIDENT. INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE AS THE DIRECT HIT TO THE TRUCK WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, OPPOSITE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND AS I HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT FAILURE OF THIS TYPE AND HAVE OWNED OTHER NEW CHEVY TRUCKS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS COULD BE A FAULTY PRODUCTION RUN OF THE SEAT BACK FRAME. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DID NOT EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER HIDDEN CRITICAL FAILURE ITEMS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT OR COULD POSSIBLY BE AN INSTALLED FACTORY FAILURE. I DON'T HAVE PHOTOS BUT I DO HAVE THE OLD SEAT BACK FRAME IN MY POSSESSION IF NEEDED.

THE TRUCK HAS A RAW FUEL SMELL UNDER HOOD AND DRAWN IN THE CABIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING.

THIS IS A SAFETY, HEALTH AND EMISSIONS CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE, HIGH/ FAILING EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS, AND RESPIRATORY HEALTH PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SYSTEM FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. *TR

ON MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO WHEN I WAS FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS THE FILL NECK PARTIALLY BROKE LOOSE AND I SPILLED ABOUT A CUP OF GAS AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. I LOOKED TO SEE A PLASTIC PLUG HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE FILL NECK TO COME LOOSE WHEN FUELING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THEY HAVE HAS "A COUPLE DOZEN OCCURRENCES SIMILAR" THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH THE SAME PART. THIS IS ONE FASTENER THAT NEEDS TO BE METAL AND HELD IN WITH A LOCK WASHER. (NOT PLASTIC) SEE PIX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM --SEE MY FIX WITH A METAL BOLT VS THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PLUG THAT COMES FROM THE FACTORY. PLS TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE BURNS UP IN A FIRE DUE TO THESE FILL NECK FASTENER PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

SHORTLY AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK, I STARTED NOTICING A VIBRATION THAT APPEARED AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND HAD THEM COMPUTER BALANCE, ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY WERE IN BALANCE. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO ADD.NOW I AM HEARING THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME VIBRATION.

BUT WANT THE VIBRATION TO GO AWAY.
