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.

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.

Electrical system, softwareJun 6, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban vehicles equipped with a base radio and an internal amplifier. The radios in the affected vehicles may become inoperative, and as a result, there would be no audible chime to notify the driver if the door is opened with the key in the ignition or no audible seat belt warning indicating the seat belts were not buckled. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention," and 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Without an audible indicator, the driver may not be aware that the driver's door is open while the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway. Additionally, there would be no reminder that the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is not buckled, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the radio software, free of charge. The recall began on July 2, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GMC owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 14315.

WE FIRST TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER ON 8/15/17. THEY SPENT HOURS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE AND FOUND NOTHING. THE STALLING CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. EARLY DECEMBER THE STALLING OCCURRED WHILE PULLING IN TO OUR GARAGE. WE LOST ALL POWER MOMENTARILY AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART THIS TIME. I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND THEN RECONNECTED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 12/8/17. IAFTER RESEARCHING THIS MORE IT SEEMS NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. TRACTION CONTROL WARNING COMES ON WHEN THE STALL OCCURS. THIS TIME I WAS MORE INSISTENT THAT THEY FIX THIS AND EXPLAINED MY WIFE WAS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS. THIS TIME THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE ON OTHER CUSTOMERS VEHICLES AND THAT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY REACTION WAS WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS LAST TIME AND WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? SO FAR THIS HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER ON THIS PROBLE.

THIS WAS UNUSUAL IN THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE USING AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAUSE THE GM SUPPLY CHAIN IS OUT OF A/C COMPRESSORS BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING SO MANY OF THEM IN TAHOE/YUKONS, SILVERADO PICKUPS AND CADILLAC ESCALADES.

SPOKE TO DEALER WHO STATED THEY NEVER HEARD OF ISSUE. PROVIDED THEM WITH A POSSIBLE TSB #P11268 FROM ALLDATA. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 50 TIMES

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OVER THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS AND THE CARGO AREA BLINK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS APPLIED. THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED ONCE AND THE ISSUE SEEMED TO GO AWAY. IT HAS NOW RETURNED AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE LAMPS NEED TO BE UPGRADED.

ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH THE CAPABILITY FOR DINGY TOWING USING THE OPTIONAL TRANSFER CASE AS PER THE LAST 3 GENERATIONS OF TAHOE'S, IT BECAME APPARENT A DESIGN ISSUE WAS PRESENT THE FIRST TIME I PUT THE CASE IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I ADVISED THE GM DEALER AND A MONTH LATER THEY CHANGED THE PROCEDURE CALLING FOR BATTERY DISCONNECTION. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF ALL INFORMATION. THE FIRST TIME I DINGY TOWED THE CAR USING GM PROCEDURES MY ONLY KEY FOB UNSYNCED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED. THIS LEFT ME WITH THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL CONNECTED TO MY BUS WITH NO WAY TO DISCONNECT IT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BACK UP WITH THE VEHICLE CONNECTED TO THE BUS AND THERE WAS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. I WAS DEAD IN THE WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I LEFT THE DEAD KEYFOB ON THE CONSOLE AND WENT TO RETRIEVE MY PHONE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEY FOB INSIDE. ONSTAR TRIED 4 TIMES TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS OR RECOGNITION OF THE SIGNAL FROM ONSTAR. GM SENT EMERGENCY SERVICE 3 HOURS LATER AND THEY HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CAR TO OPEN IT. IN ORDER TO UNHOOK THE CAR I HAD TO DRAG A 14' LIMB OUT OF THE WOODS AND BLOCK UP THE BACK WHEELS AND EASE THE BUS BACK ABOUT 1" TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE TOWING SYSTEM. I CLEARED THE BUS OUT OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS UNTIL WE UNLOCKED IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY TO A PET OR BABY LOCKED IN THE CAR DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. THIS IS A GM DESIGN ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY!
