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.

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.

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.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN EARLY 2017, THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HARD. IT CHANGES SO HARD, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE STRUCK MY TRUCK FROM BEHIND, AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HARD SHIFT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT. ON THE DOWNSHIFT, MY TRUCK WILL LERCH FORWARD, CONCERNING ME THAT I MAY STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE PROBLEM ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE LAST OCCASION, THE CHIEF MECHANIC CALLED ME AND SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND CHEVROLET HAS NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT. HE EXPLAINED IT INVOLVED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND CHEVROLET HAS MOVED ON FROM THAT TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE DAMAGED FROM THE SHIFT. ONE SERVICE REP. STATED TO ME THAT MY WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES, SO DON'T WORRY. HOW CAN I DRIVE A VEHICLE, WHEN PASSENGERS BECOME FRIGHTENED FROM THE HARD SHIFT. MOST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO SHUDDER THROUGH THE FIRST FEW GEARS AND IS EXTREMELY BOTHERSOME TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT CHEVROLET HAS NO INTENTION ON FIXING THE "KNOWN" PROBLEM, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS UPON REQUEST.

THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YRS OLD WITH ONLY 23671 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. P050D CODE AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO DOWN SHIFT HARD AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. DEALER SAID THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP ON CYLINDER 1 VALVES THAT CAUSED THEM TO STICK AND A MISFIRE. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT CYLINDERS 1-4-6-7 ARE THE CYLINDERS THAT SHUT DOWN FOR AFM ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHEN IT GOES INTO V4 MODE. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED. SAID IT WAS POOR FUEL. SAID I NEED TO RUN TOP TIER DETERGENT FROM SELECT GAS STATIONS. THAT IS THE FIRST TIME ANYONE HAS TOLD ME THIS. THAT'S NOT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND NO ONE TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO USE SPECIAL GAS STATIONS WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. I THEN TOLD HIM THE TWO STATIONS I USE ARE MOBIL AND SUNOCO. BOTH OF WHICH ARE ON THE TOP TIER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR LIST. INTERESTING FACT: TOP TIER FUELS IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF GENERAL MOTORS. THEY FAILED TO MENTION THAT WHEN THEY TOLD ME ABOUT MY "POOR FUEL" WHICH IS APPARENTLY A LICENSED GM PRODUCT. I WAS TOLD IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AS IT WOULD LIKELY BE OUTSIDE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD (36 MOS). APPARENTLY THE FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN? FOUND NOTHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOT SURPRISED. LAST NEW CHEVROLET I WILL EVER BUY.
