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.

WHEN THE BELOW MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED, STEERING THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHES BACK AND FORTH (WHEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS - I.E. ATTEMPTING TO PARK) AND USUALLY ENTERS A "LOW POWER MODE" WHERE YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE, STEER OR ABOUT ANYTHING. IN ALL CASES, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. 9/6/15: WHILE MAKING A TURN, RECEIVED A "STABILITRAK OFF" AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST REDUCES DRIVE WITH CARE" 9/8/15; RECEIVED THE ABOVE TWO MESSAGES PLUS "SERVICE 4WD" - 9/10/15 DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR PER TSB 9/14/15: RECEIVED STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE TRUCK -- DEALER STATED LOVE VOLTAGE CODES PRESENT, SO THEY CHARGED THE BATTER AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. 9/16/15: HAD THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHING WHEN BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BUT NO MESSAGES 9/24/15: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS SLOW) RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK (TWICE) AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES, SO I EXITED TO TAKE SIDE STREETS HOME. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGE, THE LOW POWER MODE AND THRASHING STEERING. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS. CURRENTLY AT DEALER, THEY STATE THEY ARE REPLACING BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES AND REROUTED A WIRE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RUBBING THE FRAME. NOTE: THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) GM # 14743 -- SAME SYMPTOMS...

WHEN TURNING MY TRUCK LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (MAYBE FROM THE FRONT END). CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND,TX CONFIRMED THE NOISE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE. SO THE SERVICE MANAGER STOPPED WORK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE CHASING A "GHOST". SO I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND HE DID NOTHING TO HELP ME AND ADVICE ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SO I AM NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY IN MY LIFE, THANKS GM FOR PRODUCING ANOTHER SCREWED UP VEHICLE.

FIRST INCIDENT THE STABILITRACK SERVICE LIGHT FLASHED SO FAST I COULD BARELY READ IT.. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 20,2015 AND IT HAPPENED TWICE. THE STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE DOOR LOCKS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED , LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ON , RADIO WENT OFF AND ON AND IT STALLED THE ENGINE ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE SHORTED OUT. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL. I APLLIED THE BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

PURCHASED A NEW 1500 IN MAY OF 2014 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS A RANDOM MISS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS AT IDLE. WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT JERK AND WILL ALSO HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED SHORTLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE JERK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHEVROLET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT ONLY HAVE 4 INVOICES (FROM 11/20/14-8/26/15) WITH THE COMPLAINT LISTED. EACH TIME CHEVROLET STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND OR PRESENT EXCEPT FOR THE MOST RECENT INVOICE DATED AUG. 26, 2015 IN WHICH AFTER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER BECAME INVOLVED BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE, HE DID STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BY A "SENIOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN" AND SINCE NO CODE WAS PRESENT TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM, GM WAS CONTACTED. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT GM STATED "THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERN BUT AS YET HAVE NOT FORMULATED A REPAIR." I AM PRESENTLY STILL EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, BUT SINCE GM HAS NOT "FORMULATED A REPAIR" FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE CAUSE AND IN WHICH THEY FEEL "IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. BE SURE EACH COMPLAINT IS DOCUMENTED VIA INVOICE NUMBER AND MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD VIA PHONE AND OR IN PERSON IS WHAT IS STATED ON THE INVOICE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOVE 50 MPH) AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES TO 1/2 HR, A SLIGHT TURN TO THE LEFT (AT SPEED) CAUSES THE STEERING TO STICK/BIND. IT MAY BE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS PREVENTS THE WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER FROM THE LEFT TURN. THE RESISTANCE CAN BE OVERCOME BY INCREASING TO FORCE APPLIED TO EITHER RETURN THE WHEEL TO CENTER OR TO INCREASE THE LEFT TURN. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW *CN

I BEGAN TO NOTICE SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT 55 MPH, SIMILAR TO A WASHBOARD EFFECT. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED VERY HARD WHEN STOPPING. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER ON THIS DATE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL OPERATION. IN DECEMBER, OF 2014, I TRIED PASSING A VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED A LOUD THUMP IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, I THOUGHT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS GOING TO FALL OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THEY BOTH CLAIM THIS IS NORMAL. NOW THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE, IT CAN OCCUR AT 40-45, 50-55, AND 60 TO 65.

I HAVE NOTED SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2014 -15 VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS TYPE OF OPERATION HAS TO BE DAMAGING THE GEARS AND TRANSMISSION.
