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.

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.

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.

IT STARTED WITH A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. A WEEK LATER IT MADE A CLICKING SOUND AGAIN ON A HARD TURN. I CALLED GM TO ASK ABOUT A BUY BACK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR WITH KIDS. THEN LATER THE SAME DAY, I WAS BACKING OUT OF SONS LITTLE LEAGUE GAME AND STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND DISPLAYED LOCKED ON INFORMATION SCREEN. I HIT BRAKES AND LOCK DISPLAY DISAPPEARED SO I SHIFTED TO PARK AND THEN TO BACK TO REVERSE AND STEERING COLUMN LOCK AGAIN DISPLAY AND LOCK. I THEN PUT CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF. I TURN CAR BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND IT WAS WORKING FINE NO MORE STEERING COLUMN LOCK DISPLAY. I HAVE A KEYLESS START, LOADED LT MODEL THAT HAS ALL FEATURES OF AN LTZ TAHOE.

4TH AND MOST DANGEROUS OF 4 INCIDENTS IN 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP OF 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LT. WITHOUT DRIVER INSTRUCTION OR INTERFERENCE THE 2015 TAHOE SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4WD DESPITE DIAL ON 2WD. STEERING DIFFICULT, CAR JERKED, ENGINE REVVED DIFFERENTLY AND TROUBLE IN REVERSE. NO WARNING SIGNALS ON DISPLAY AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. DROVE .5 MI., PULLED OVER RESTARTED, AND THEN "4 WHEEL DRIVE, DISMISS" ON DISPLAY OVER STEERING WHEEL (NO SEAT VIBRATION, FLASHING LIGHTS AS WITH LANE DRIFTING). TRIED TO "UNDISMISS", CONSULTED MANUAL AND ENSURED DIAL WAS IN 2WD. CUT IGNITION OFF, RESTARTED, SAME LIGHT. TEST DROVE ANOTHER 1 MI. TO SEE IF WARNING DISPLAY MALFUNCTION...CAR JERKED AND STEERING AS IF NON-POWER STEERING. CALLED DEALERSHIP (RICK HENDRICK'S CITY CHEVROLET, CHARLOTTE, NC) AND SVS TECH HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND CONSULTED OTHER TECHS (ON HOLD 15 MIN). FINALLY SVS MGR SAID CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT TO DRIVE IT HOME 'SLOWLY" AND THEY WOULD TOW TO DEALERSHIP AND GET ME A LOANER. SVS MGR, ON 3RD PHONE CALL AFTER I THREATENED TO NOTIFY NTSB, SAID HE WAS CALLING A GM "PROGRAM MGR" TO SEE ABOUT MY CAR'S "DANGEROUS ISSUE". AFTER THE CAR ROLLED WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF (RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS OFF TOO) AND IT HIT A DUMPSTER B/C WE HAD NOT PUT IT IN PARK, YET IGNITION STILL TURNED OFF (LUCKILY NO ONE HURT BUT SIGNIFICANT PAINT DAMAGE), KEY FOB WOULDN'T PROGRAM SEATS/MIRRORS, MYLINK WOULDN'T PAIR TO MY PHONE AND NOW TO LEARN THERE IS A RECALL FOR ROLLING B/C CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL? I AM STILL DRIVING LOANER, NO WORD FROM SVS MGR, I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND GSM SAID I'D HAVE TO GO TO GM DIRECT FOR A "BUY BACK". THE 1-800-222-1020# HE GAVE ME USELESS). HELP! *TR
