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.

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING LATE IN 2019. IT STARTED GETTING COLD OUT SO WE DIDN'T NEED IT AT THE TIME. COVID 19 HIT AND I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR FOR WEEKS ON END. SO DIDN'T NEED AC. WHEN WE DID HAVE TO USE IT THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 5 YEARS 60K MILES THAT WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. WE NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION ON IT. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR OTHER SERVICE RELATED STUFF OVER THE YEARS AND NO ONE EVER MENTIONED OR EVEN CHECKED TO SEE IF THE AC UNIT WAS NOT WORKING. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIX IT UNDER THIS WARRANTY SOMETIME IN MAY OR JUNE OF 2020 AND WAS TOLD NO THAT THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED IN FEB 16, 2020. CONTACTED GM AND ASKED THE SAME THING. GOOD FAITH HELP WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL NICE. WE ARE A FEW MONTHS OVER THE 5 YEARS, BUT WELL UNDER THE 60K MILES. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET THIS COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR GET A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING AS I. THE CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 5 YEARS OLD. THE AC UNIT SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED SO SOON. NOW I HAVE TO PAY WELL OF 1000 TO FIX IT OUT OF MY POCKET. I KNOW NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, EXCEPT HEAT EXHAUSTION.....PLEASE DO A RECALL ON IT, PLEASE!

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 INITIALLY NOTICED DIFFICULTY WITH BRAKING WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARD, WITH FULL WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER I WAS IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER, STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN HARD AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, ONLY AT LOW RATES OF SPEED AND WITH FREQUENT, REPETIVE STOPPING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY DUE TO 'OVER USE' OF THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO BE 'PUMPED' RATHER THAN COMPRESSED FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. I TOOK THE VEHEHICLE TO A SECOND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AND THIS SEEMS HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS DUE TO FEAR THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL. THE VEHICLE HAS 54,000 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP.

A FEW WEEKS WENT BY WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN IT RETURNED WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. ANOTHER 3 DAYS PASSES AND THEN BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND CAN BARELY STOP THE CAR CAUSING A CLOSE COLLISION. THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH TO MAKE THE CAR STOP. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME CAREFULLY DUE TO NEEDING TO STEP ON THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD. REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND STILL NOT WORKING. REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AND LINE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS AS THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND ALMOST HIT THE WALL. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD TOWING AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP SIGN.

MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE MAKES A HIGH PITCHED NOISE WHEN IT IS IN 4AUTO AND 4 HIGH. GM TOLD ME THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRANFER CASE THATS INSTALLED IN MY SUV. NOT ALL TRANSFERENCE MAKE THIS NOISE, THE TAHOE LOANER CAR DOES NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. MY BOTHERS 2015 SILVERADO MADE THE SAME NOISE IN 4 AUTO AND HIGH

2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS PARKED ON MODERATELY SLOPED DRIVEWAY. ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS IN "PARK" POSITION. VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ROLLED BACK SEVERAL FEET, AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLE ALSO OWNED BY ME. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NOT INFLUENCED BY DRIVER. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT IS MY BELIEF THE APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION/SOFTWARE. I DID FIND WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL #14192 FOR THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED COOLING AND STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING LIKE A STROBE LIGHT. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 44,790

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER NEEDS REPLACED ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. IT WILL COST ME $1,000 AND THIS IS A KNOWN GM PROBLEM. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE STRUTS ON IT AND THAT WAS OVER $1,300.
