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.

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.

Fuel is leaking from gas tank area. Major fire hazard. I am told this is due to a faulty fuel line securing issue which allows the fuel line to rub cuasing a leak and major fire hazard.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 1, 2022
Technical Service Bulletin 17-NA-304 1..6 should be a recall if it involves a fuel leak. My vehicle has experienced this issue, and fuel is actively leaking (right next to the exhaust). With 2 small kids in the car everyday, and Chevy (and the NHTSA) knowing this since September, 2017, how is this not something that a consumer is notified about, and fixed by the manufacturer immediately? I would appreciate if someone could contact me to talk me through this not being a recall.

I was driving down the road at 65mph, when My transmission blew. I believe the correct term is that my torque converter went out. I basically came to a dead stop in traffic, endangering my life and my children's. My understanding is that this is a common issue with this type of transmission. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for not recalling this item.

started to notice a fuel smell/odor, which after several days 3 to 4 got worse, then my tahoe started having problems starting, i then seen fuel leaking from the driver's side behind driver's door and below driver's side passenger door, which is where my granddaughter's car seat is located, i inspected where the leak appeared to be coming from, i could tell it was coming from on top of the fuel tank running down the side of the tank leaving a puddle of fuel, the repair shop said they believe the leak is coming from the fuel line and would pull the fuel tank down and replace the fuel line which is going to be a expensive repair. this is a serious safety hazard and should be covered by general motors corporation, i am concerned that my tahoe could have caught on fire while driving without no warning indicator light. i will keep invoices from repair shop and the faulty factory fuel line. i fear this problem could very well cause loss of life or a very serious accident while driving that i believe general motors is aware of.
Fuel/propulsion system, May 17, 2021
Noticed a strong gas odor when exiting the vehicle. Upon looking the at the vehicle from top to bottom I discovered that there was gas dripping from the gas tank. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told that a fuel line on top of the tank was cracked and needed to be replaced. Since this seemed like a pretty serious safety issue I did some online research hoping to discover a recall, but didn't find any open ones. What I did find was a lot of people saying that this same issue had happened to them, and is a result of a design flaw where the fuel line on top of the tank is too close the the chassis and over time vibrations wear a hole into the line. Since this is such a serious safety issue I feel that that it should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

LARGE FUEL LEAK COMING FROM LINE THAT RUBS BODY ABOVE GAS TANK. GAS WAS POURING OUT CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WHEN NOTICED VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. GM KNOWS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES AS THERE IS A TSB # 17-NA-304 DATED SEPTEMBER OF 2017. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS DOZENS OF LIKE REPORTS WITH ONE CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE DUE TO FIRE. THIS IS OF MAJOR CONCERN AS LOSS OF LIFE FROM THIS ENGINEERING FAILURE IS HIGH. CHILDREN COULD BE RESTRAINED IN CAR SEATS IN REAR OF VEHICLE JUST ABOVE FUEL FOR FIRE.

UPON RETURNING FROM WORK , MY WIFE COMPLAINED OF A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE ENGINE, INTERIOR, AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE A SMALL RUNNING FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED BENEATH THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE, IMMEDIATELY FORWARD OF THE FUEL TANK . THE LEAK LEFT A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE, WHICH CONTINUED TO LEAK UNTIL FUEL PRESSURE DISSIPATED 5-10 MINUTES LATER. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL GM DEALER , IT WAS FOUND THAT A HOLE WAS WORN INTO THE FUEL SUPPLY (PRESSURE) LINE DUE TO CHAFING AND RUBBING OF THE LINE AGAINST THE STRUCTURE (FRAME) OF THE VEHICLE . THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ANY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, WHETHER IT WAS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 10/07/2020. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE FUEL LINE BEING INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED FROM CHAFING AND VIBRATION. THE NEW FUEL LINE CAME WITH A SLEEVE PROTECTING THE AFFECTED AREA. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFICIENCY ON 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE MODELS.

TAHOE IS USED TO COMMUTE TO OWNER'S PROFESSION ROUGHLY 20 MILES EVERY WEEK DAY. ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING HOME, TAHOE HAD STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE SITTING IN OWNER'S GARAGE. IT WOULD THEN ALSO HAVE SIMILAR ODOR WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE CAR. BROUGHT THE TAHOE TO BLASIUS CHEVROLET IN WATERBURY, CT. TAHOE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES AND STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT "FUEL LINE CHEWED THREW BUY (SIC) MOUSE." OWNER ASKED FOR A PICTURE OF THE PINHOLE LEAK CAUSE BY THE MOUSE. IMAGE (WHICH IS ATTACHED) ILLUSTRATES DAMAGE THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL. IT IS SMOOTHLY RUBBED DOWN AND SHOWS NO CHEW MARKS AND IS IN ONE SPECIFIC SPOT. DEALER REFUSED TO USE WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL AND NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING DONE TO THE CAR BY OWNER. ONLY WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THE TAHOE HAS BEEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2015 TAHOES AROUND THE 60K MILES MARK. THE FUEL LINE IS WORN DOWN BY RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE CONSUMER CONSIDERING A FUEL LINE IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD "GET WORN DOWN" OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKING ON THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF IT WAS NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. *TR

I HAD A SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT THAT CAME ON MY 2015 TAHOE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO VOSS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN CENTERVILLE OHIO, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FAILING AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN (TSB 14858) IN 2015 FOR SELECT 2015 TAHOES. THE TAHOE'S AFFECTED INCLUDED VEHICLES WITH AN 8 CYLINDER ENGINE (RPO L83 OR L86). THIS DESCRIBES MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL, SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE TSB RECALL. I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY ALSO SAID MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEY WERE NOT VERY CLEAR AS TO WHICH VINS THEY DECIDED TO INCLUDE WHEN ALL OF THE TAHOE'S WERE MADE ON THE SAME PRODUCTION LINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY ALL OF THE VINS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THE HOSES. GM CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID A PORTION OF THE EXPENSES, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO GM.

AFTER READING THE LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2015 TAHOES AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH INDIVIDUALS IN THIS AREA IN BUSINESS WITH GM, I FEEL EVEN MORE UNSAFE THAN I HAVE BEFORE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE LAWSUITS WITH THE 2015 TAHOE'S, THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO TOTAL RECALL WITH MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. SHOCKING. I DID SEE SEVERAL RECALLS OF GREAT CONCERN THAT I HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS IN MY GARAGE. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO PAY TO RENT A WORKING, SAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ONE I PAY $615 MONTHLY FOR IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND A LIABILITY. IN CONCLUSION, ARE THERE STEPS AN INDIVIDUAL IS ABLE TO TAKE TO RESOLVE SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO SEEK ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL AIDE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING?

A NUMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA ARE EXPERIENCING ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH 2011-2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE POLICE PURSUIT PACKAGES ON HIGH TEMPERATURE DAYS. THIS ISSUE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100 DEGREES AND FREQUENTLY WHEN THE TAHOE IS ENGAGED IN A LEFT TURN MOVEMENT. THE TAHOE STUTTERS AND/OR STALLS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES, AND IF THE TAHOE WILL RESTART IT CONTINUOUSLY BACKFIRES, MISSES, AND WILL NOT RUN ABOVE 15MPH FOR A PERIOD. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND STATES THE SOLUTION IS A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINE WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE IN STOCK. AT PRESENT, THE PIMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS AT LEAST 10 VEHICLES OUT OF SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE. ANOTHER LOCAL AGENCY, THE ORO VALLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT, HAS HALF OF ITS FLEET AFFECTED. OTHER AGENCIES EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES INCLUDE THE PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE SCOTTSDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE MARANA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN SLOW TO RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE WHICH DATES TO 2011. CHEVROLET'S STRATEGY APPEARS TO BE ONE OF PACIFYING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES UNTIL THE HOT SEASON IS OVER AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS IGNORED FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FACING THE RISK OF A STALLING VEHICLE WHILE TURNING LEFT IN THE FACE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON TWO OCCASIONS.
