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.

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.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that he depressed the accelerator pedal however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled safely off the highway and had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed and it was determined that the transmission control module and several other power train components needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V374000 (Power Train). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,300.

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.

While accelerating from a green light the truck felt as if it shifted into neutral leaving me stranded in the middle of a 4 lane highway there was no indication or warning light or sign until after the incident. Only then did the check engine light come on. There was a slight vibration before the transmission failed at 85000 miles. The truck is in the shop having the transmission replaced. I lost total drive control in the middle of a busy highway the out come could have been very bad.

I received a combination of three error messages on the same day and they show every time I start the vehicle. “Stabilitrak” service needed, “steering assist is reduced, drive with care” action required message, and “rear parking assist symbols unavailable” error message when in reverse. Causes hard/lurch changes in gears. Affects the control of the vehicle and the ability to drive in a straight line.
Power train, Engine, May 17, 2021
Engine service light came on May 7th during a trip which made the vehicle run sporadically and missing which then caused the traction control light to come on as well. When we took the vehicle to the dealership they said that a lifter had stuck and it had ruined the camshaft. Repairs would be 5800.00. We took the vehicle to another dealership and they gave us a better price and said that two other vehicles were in the shop in front of our vehicle for the same issue and some were newer 2019 or later vehicles and that this was a common problem because of defective parts. They said that the new parts were better and should work without the same problem. We do not have our vehicle back yet, I expect it back in a couple days because they had to order the parts. If this is a common problem, the dealerships know what is wrong and how to fix the problem, why is Chevrolet not letting owners know and take care of the problem before they fail and we end up with a large invoice. I had a 2007 Tahoe that had an oil consumption problem that everyone knew about and no one tried to get the problem fixed. This Tahoe was purchased to take on trips. The vehicle stays in a garage full time, only has 38700 miles on the engine and I have had nothing but problems since it was purchased. During one trip two spark plugs were dead, had to be replaced. One trip the battery was dead so I had to get a battery maintainer and keep on the engine battery. Trip to Florida the front window leaked and after that one stationary side window leaked. One trip the rear air conditioner did not work the first time it was used because it was not grounded. I have already decided to never buy another Chevrolet product in the future even though i have not used anything else since getting out of college in 1973. Enough is enough.

SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN 2016 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A DRIP OF OIL IN MY GARAGE THAT WASN'T CONSISTENT AND WHEN TELLING MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND FOUND NOTHING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SIDE DOOR BLACK FASCIA FLEW OFF, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 3 STATING IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 34K WARRANTY. I HAD REQUESTED THEY REPLACE/SECURE THE 4TH AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE AND DIDN'T NEED REPLACING. I RETURNED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND REPORTED THE ONE THAT WAS NOT REPLACED IS NOW LOOSE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND WOULD BE CHARGED AN HOUR LABOR AS WELL AS PARTS, COSTING ROUGHLY $120.00. I THEN HAD MY AC GO OUT IN SUMMER OF 2019 AND HAD THAT REPLACED SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE IN FALL 2019 I MENTIONED MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING PROPERLY WHILE BRAKING AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A CURRENT RECALL THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT WAS PERFORMED. I WAS STILL NOTICING THE BRAKING ISSUES. IN NOV.2019 I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE MISFIRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WORSENED AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I WAS INFORMED I WOULD NOT GET A LOANER CAR AS ALL OF THEIRS WERE OUT TO PEOPLE WITH PARTS REQUIRED WITHOUT AN ETA FROM GM. I WAS CALLED 4 DAYS LATER AS I HAD NOT HEARD BACK AND WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDED A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW VACUUM PUMP AS THIS HAD FAILED AND IS THE REASON FOR THE HARD BRAKING. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP IS ON BACK-ORDER WITHOUT AN ETA AND "I STILL HAVE MY ABS THAT WILL ASSIST WITH STOPPING".

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL HIGH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE. IF I WERE ON SNOW OR WET ROADS I SURELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO BRODHEADSVILLE CHEVY FOR REPAIRS ON 26, DECEMBER 2019. THE DEALERSHIP PUT MY TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND DETERMINED THAT IT HAD A CODE C0398 FOR RANGE POSITION CORRECTION. THE REPAIR FOR THIS WAS A NEW CALIBRATION (BASICALLY UPDATE THE CURRENT SOFTWARE) TO THE NEW VERSION WHICH WAS (VERSION 9.2). (SEE ATTACHED DEALERSHIP PAPERWORK WHICH DETAILS THE REPAIR.) I FEEL THIS SOFTWARE GLITCH IS BY NO WAY MY FAULT NOR MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS SOFTWARE FAILURE. THERE WAS NOT ANY PART FOUND FAULTY OR REPLACED. COMPUTERS WERE NOT DAMAGED NOR HARMED IN ANY MANNER TO CREATE THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH OR ERROR. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED. I AS A USER OF CHEVROLET'S PRODUCT HAVE NO CONTROL OF HOW CHEVY CODES THERE SOFTWARE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT PERFORMS CORRECTLY. IF THERE IS A CODING DEFECT IN THERE SOFTWARE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT I CAN REPAIR IT WITH OUT GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING THEM FIX IT.

I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED BY AN AUTOMOTIVE PLACE AND AS I WAS DRIVING A WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. THEY HOOKED IT TO COMPUTER AND REFERRED ME TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST LOCATED THREE MILES AWAY. THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. MY 2015 TAHOE ONLY HAD 107,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN ABOUT FOUR OTHER TAHOES OF THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $3300.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK HAD A WARNING LIGHT BEEN ACTIVATED TWO WEEKS BEFORE I MAY COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP EARLIER AND HAD IT REPAIRED INSTEAD OF REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO ME WAY TOO SOON TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN AN AUTOMOBILE.

CAR HAS AROUND 60K MILES ON IT. HAVE READ OTHER ISSUES SIMILAR TO THIS. NO EVIDENCE ON COMPUTER WHEN WE TAKE IT TO DEALER. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST ONE WAS THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS.

CAR WAS VIBRATING WHEN GETTING ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR. THOUGHT WHEELS NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. ONCE BALANCED,PULLED TRAILER AND VIBRATION WAS EXTREMELY WORSE. VIBRATING LIKE WE HAD THE BACK WINDOW ROLLED DOWN, BUT ALL WINDOWS WERE UP. WENT BACK TO DEALER IN NEWNAN GEORGIA AND THEY HOOKED UP A TRAILER TO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE THEN BOUGHT NEW TIRES THINKING IT WOULD HELP THE ISSUE. WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT TWO SETS OF TIRES, CONSTANTLY HAVING THE VEHICLE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE VIBRATION. WE ARE CURRENTLY UP TO 53K ON THE VEHICLE AND VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE LUXURY PRICE WE PAID. THIS ALL HAPPENED UPON PURCHASE.

TAHOE 2015 LS TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AFTER CYCLING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. SUV WILL SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO AUTO SHIFT INTO PARK LIKE CONDITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I HAD TO PLACE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. IT ALSO KICK HARD WHEN ENGAGED. THE SUV ONLY HAS 5089 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THIS SUV NEW FROM RELIABLE CHEVROLET IN RICHARDSON, TX. TODAY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. IT NOW WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE MORE TO INCREASE THE RPM TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO KICK IN. IT THEN KICK HARD INTO REVERSE. I BROUGHT THIS SUV TO MY DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIX. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING AND RETURN THIS SUV BACK TO ME. I HAVE ANOTHER MAJOR STOP AND NO GO TRANSMISSION ISSUE AGAIN TODAY FEB 8, 2016. THIS TIME I HAVE MY TEENAGE SON WITH ME AND THIS REALLY UPSET ME. SOMEONE COULD HAVE HIT ME FROM BEHIND SINCE THE ROAD WAS A DOWNHILL RUN WITH A STOP LIGHT. I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO MY RELIABLE CHEVROLET DEALER IN RICHARDSON, TX TOMORROW FEB 9, 2016 AND DEMAND THEN TO FIX IT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW TRUCK. IF THE ELECTRONICS OF THE TRANSMISSION TELLS THE MECHANICAL PARTS TO GO INTO PARK POSITION WHILE CRUISING DOWN THE STREET, THIS WILL BE A VERY BAD OUTCOME. PLEASE TELL MARY BARRA TO KEEP HER PROMISE NO MORE CRAP CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO HURT SOMEONE.
