Recalls and investigations
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.

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.

PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO IN JUNE AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW HUNDRED MILES, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. SOON AFTER A NOISE WAS COMING FROM UNDER SEAT. DEALER REPLACED SEAT TRACK BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND MY SEAT CUSHION CAME UNATTACHED. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOISE IS STILL APPARENT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEATS BEING UNCOMFORTABLE AND I CAN CONFIRM. WHY IS CHEVROLET PUTTING OUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLES AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO BUY. IF YOU ARE READING THIS DO NOT BUY A CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCK. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! *TR

PURCHASED MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AT THE END OF JUNE 2014 AND BY JULY 2014 WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK MY TRUCK EXPERIENCE A SEVERE VIBRATION THAT SHOOKED MY ENTIRE INTERIOR AND ESPECIALLY MY CENTER CONSOLE. TOOK MY TRUCK TO TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY MY TRUCK DRIVES AND HANDLES NORMALLY. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS, I DECIDED TO WRITE MY OWN COMPLAINT. CHEVY CORPORATION NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE ANY TRAGIC INCIDENT HAPPE NS LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED AND NOW THEY ARE PAYING MEGA BUCKS. ALSO REQUESTING OTHER OWNERS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO OTHER TRUCK BUYERS WILL STAY AWAY FROM CHEVROLET AUTOMOBILES ENTIRELY. MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL PROBABLY A FOREIGN BECAUSE I AM HAVING TO MANY PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. THANKS ALOT CHEVY, FROM SOON TO BE EX-CHEVROLET OWNER. *TR

I STARTED HEARING SOME TICKING. AND NO BIG DEAL THE NEXT DAY THE MOTOR JUST VIBRATED AND THEM STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED RATTLING. FREAKED ME OUT BIG TIME, I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I'M NO MECHANIC, BUT THIS AIN'T NORMAL. I FEAR THE WORST. *TR
Power train, Engine, Oct 23, 2014
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND TRAVELING BETWEEN 70-75. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FEEL ROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING AIR OR GAS AND WOULD DIE. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT SHIFTED ROUGHLY, WOULD ONLY GO 55, WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE CODE WAS FOR A MISS FIRE ON PLUG 6. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PLUG OR WIRES HAD BECOME LOOSE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A VALVE SPRING AND LATER DECIDED IT WAS A BENT PUSH ROD AND HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE HEAD TO INSPECT FURTHER. THEY ARE CONTACTING THE ENGINEERING DEPT. AT GM TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS OUR SECOND TRUCK THIS YEAR. OUR FIRST WAS A 2014 SILVERADO 1500 2X4, PURCHASED IN MAY W/ 4000 MILES, ROLLED DOWN A HILL ON JULY 26TH AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE UNOCCUPIED, LOCKED AND IN PARK. GM WAS "UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG", AND CLOSED OUR CASE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THIS IS OUR REPLACEMENT TRUCK. WE TOOK A LOSS BUT UPGRADED TO THE 4X4 BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN COVERED IN THE RECALL OF JUNE 27, 2014 "IN EFFECTED VEHICLES, AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL SHORT MAY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WITH OUT THE DRIVER'S INPUT." WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE OUR FIRST PAYMENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A SHAKE AND VIBRATION IN THE SEATS, STEERING AND SUSPENSION AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND ABOVE ON SMOOTH ROADS IT HAS HAD THE SHAKE AND VIBRATION SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW. *TR
Suspension, Power train, Other or unspecified, Oct 20, 2014
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 27TH 2014 AND HAD A BAD VIBRATION ON THE DRIVE HOME. IT HAS A WOBBLE SENSATION AT 35-45 MPH FELT STRONGEST AT 43 MPH THAT FEELS LIKE IT HAS A BENT WHEEL BUT IT DOESNT. WHEN YOU GET TO 65-70 MPH THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION FROM THE TRUCK FELT STRONGEST AT 68 MPH AND IT ONLY OCCURS ON SMOOTH LEVEL ROADS AND EVEN CHANGING LANES DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION AT ALL SO IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS OTHER THEN BEING FLAT AND SMOOTH. THE DEALER HAS MADE FIVE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT ALREADY AND CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX IT ANYMORE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT ONE OUT OF FIVE GM TRUCKS (CHEVY & GMC) HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS YET. DO NOT BUY OR LET ANYONE YOU KNOW BUY A CHEVY & GMC TRUCK IN THE 2014 OR 2015 YEARS, 1 IN 5 ARE LEMONS THE VIBRATIONS ARE SO BAD THAT IT WILL MAKE YOU CAR SICK AFTER A FEW MILES AND CAN AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH BACK ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM ALSO GREATLY REDUCES THE TRADE-IN OR RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL MAKE SELLING IT YOURSELF VERY PROBLEMATIC IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU LOOK ON YOUTUBE YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO POST SOME VIDEOS TO SHOW THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM. *TR

UPON DELIVERY OF NEW 2014 CREW CAB SILVERADO, WITH 21 MILES, FRAME RUST WAS OCCURRING AND COATING WAS PEELING OFF. GM IS AWARE OF ISSUE AND HAS A TSB, #PI0564D, BUT DEALERSHIPS ARE RELUCTANT OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST WITH HEAVY ROAD SALTING AND BEFORE THE TRUCK HAS EVEN SEEN WET PAVEMENT, THE FRAME IS RUSTING DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS DURING THE ASSEMBLY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GET SATISFACTORY REPAIR WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. GM CAN NOT CLAIM, LIKE THEY WANT TO, THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES CAUSING RUST ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS FRAME RUST IS OCCURRING AT THE FACTORY DUE TO ASSEMBLY LINE DEFECTS PROBABLY RELATED TO NOT WASHING/TREATING THE FRAMES PRIOR TO COATING THEM. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION THAT IS FELT THRU OUT THE STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR PAN AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT CAUSES THE MIDDLE CONSOLE TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE AT A LATER DATE. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO LET ME TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE AT MY FULL EXPENSE, AND STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS ACTING AS DESIGNED. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AT 8 PM ON 9/22/2014. WHEN DRIVING ON 9/25/2014, THE TRUCK VIBRATED AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, 55-75 MPH. IN HI-2 MODE IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, SHIFTING WITH A MILD CLUNK AT LOWER GEARS. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND DESCRIBED THE ISSUES TO A SERVICE PERSON AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON 9/29/2014. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PROBLEMS WERE PROBABLY DUE TO ALIGNMENT ISSUES. ON 9/28/2014, I DROVE THE TRUCK AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SHIFTING AND VIBRATION ISSUES. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY NEAR MY DESTINATION AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE AND "REVVED". IT HAD SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER STILL INDICATED THAT I WAS IN DRIVE MODE. I DRIFTED INTO THE INTERSECTION, UNABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK, THEN NEUTRAL, AND THEN DRIVE. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO DRIVE AND THEN I FELT A STRONG "THUNK" THAT FELT AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED BY A CAR GOING AT LEAST 25 MPH. THE TRUCK THEN DROVE NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET. I HAD TO STOP AT THE LIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE UNDERPASS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, LEAVING ME DRIFTING INTO AN INTERSECTION. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK GOING AFTER A MINUTE OR SO, WITH THE SAME STRONG "THUNK". I CALLED ONSTAR TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON THE FOUR OTHER DAYS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK, IT WAS DRIVEN ONLY A FEW MILES EACH DAY, AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS LESS THAN 300 MILES ON IT. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THE ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL, BUT THIS TRUCK'S VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. *TR

BACKLASH WAS NOT SETUP PROPERLY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAD A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE REAR END WHILE CRUISING AROUND 55 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 4 SEPARATE TIMES TO FIX IT. FIRST VISIT TO A DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO WORK ON IT. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RING AND PINION AND THE AXLE BEARINGS. THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AT THE ORIGINAL SPEED BUT A NEW SOUND DEVELOPED WHILE DECELERATING FROM 50 AND DOWN TO 40. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK IN AGAIN AND REPLACED THE BEARINGS AGAIN. NOISE SEEMED FIXED AFTER THIS FIX BUT THE LONGER I DRIVE IT THE NOISE IS COMING BACK AGAIN AT 55 MPH. DEALER REFUSED TO WORK ON IT AGAIN SAYING THAT ITS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE AXLE BUT IF IT GETS LOUDER THEY WILL REPLACE THE AXLE. SPOKE TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS IS THE 3RD 2014 TRUCK THAT THE BEARINGS AND RING/PINION GEARS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH VERY LOW MILES AND WITH IMPROPER BACKLASH SETUP FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE A 2014 SILVER ADO WITH THE 5.3L V8, 3.42 LIMITED SLIP REAR END, 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO LEMON LAW FOR THE TRUCK BUT NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT ITS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY FIXING IT AGAIN. *TR

GENERAL MOTORS UNDERSTANDS THEIR IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK BUT DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. THE VIBRATION IS FELT IN THE SEAT, THE GAS PEDAL, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE REST OF THE TRUCK. TIRES WERE INDEXED, ROTATED, AND BALANCED, ALONG WITH THE DRIVE LINE SPECIFICATIONS INSPECTED AND WERE FOUND WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS EVEN THOUGHT VIBRATION PERSISTS. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE HAD WERE THE EXHAUST SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN TRANSFERRING FROM V8/V4 MODE, IN WHICH THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS REPLACED, WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF AND WINDSHIELD, FRAME COATING PEELING OFF CAUSING THE FRAME TO RUST, THE SEAT FRAME SHIFTING, MOVING AND CLICKING WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, HD RADIO LOSES SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY, RADIO AND HVAC KNOBS WERE NOT LIT, HEADLIGHTS WERE MISALIGNED FROM THE FACTORY, AND 4 OTHER RECALLS SUCH AS, OVERHEATED EXHAUST COMPONENTS, UNWANTED TRANSFER CASE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, PEEK IN ODOMETER DISPLAY INCORRECT, AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER CONNECTIONS POSSIBLY BEING BAD.

WHEN THE TRUCK REACHES A SPEED OVER 35 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL, THE SEAT, AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION. I LIVE IN EAST TENNESSEE. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN GEORGIA. IT IS ABOUT A THREE HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK TO MY HOME. ON THE DRIVE HOME I NOTICED THE VIBRATION RIGHT AWAY. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE A TIRE BALANCE ISSUE SO I CONTINUED THE TRIP HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TALKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS INFORMED I NEED 500 MILES ON THE TRUCK BEFORE THEY WILL WORK A VIBRATION ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT SEVERAL TRUCKS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND GM DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES AND TOLD ME THAT IS ALL THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE VIBRATION. THROUGH SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND TALKING WITH OTHER DEALERS I HAVE FOUND THAT MAY PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NO HELP. DRIVE SHAFTS,AXLE SHAFTS, WHEELS AND TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND REAR ENDS HAVE BEEN REBUILT. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. MOST DEALERS HAVE WORKED THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL TRUCKS. IF THIS VIBRATION IS COMING FROM ANY PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN OR SUSPENSION AND THE PART HAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH. *TR
