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.

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.

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.

Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 8, 2019
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, 70-80 MPH, STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR BRIEF PERIODS. OFTEN TIMES IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ACTUATION OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW SWITCH. IT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOT OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER, A FLICKERING CONTROL PANEL, ABS LIGHT, STAB TRAK, BRAKE ASSIST, AND PARK ASSIST WARNINGS. A/C WOULD STOP, RADIO WOULD TURN OFF, THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLICKER, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THE WARNINGS IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. STEERING WAS TOUGH, THOUGH CONTROLLABLE, BUT I QUESTION THE ABILITY OF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVE TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE SAME PROBLEM AT THOSE SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AT LOWER SPEEDS, USUALLY WHILE BACKING UP TO PARK. AT LOWER SPEEDS THE SUV WOULD CUT OFF COMPLETELY. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STALL WAS RECOVERABLE, VERY FORTUNATE IN THIS MATTER. UNABLE TO GET THE ISSUE TO REPEAT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS VERY INCONSISTENT. USUALLY RESETS ITSELF ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.
