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.

NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED MY TAHOE NEW I NOTICED MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHTS, MORE SO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD THE VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR AN AC RECALL AND THE DEALER DIDN'T NOTICE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I STARTED GETTING ACCUMULATING WATER IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD CORRODE THE BLINKER HOLDER MAKING IT INOPERABLE. SO I EITHER HAVE TO CHANGE THE BLINKER HOLDER OR REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I FEEL LIKE THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE AC RECALL.

THIS ISSUE HAS STATED AFFECTING VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE WARRANTY HAVE EXPIRED BUT ISSUE HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN SINCE.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (RESTAURANT DRIVE-THRU, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) I OFTEN FIND MYSELF HAVING DIFFICULTY PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AS IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN THE PEDAL AND THE CAR WILL NOT COME TO A STOP FOR 2-3 FEET. I FEEL A STRONG VIBRATION DURING THIS AND A LOW PITCHED CRUNCHING SOUND, AND CANNOT PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE A COLLISION. I DID THE 2019 RECALL IN WHICH THE DEALER RECALIBRATED SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKES. BUT IT I CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TEST THE VACUUM PUMP, BUT THEY SAID THE "TESTING WAS NORMAL" AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, SAYING THAT IT WAS WORN ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS THAT WERE CAUSING THE ISSUE. I KNOW WHAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE WHEN THE ROTORS/PADS NEED CHANGING, AND I DO HAVE SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT NEVER WHERE I HAVE INCREASED BRAKE EFFORT. ONLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IF I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY TAHOE SHOWED STABILITRAK ISSUES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST DEALER. IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN A MONTH AGO. THE TRUCK TURNS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND AS I'M PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, NOW I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN I TRY TO LOCK IT WITH THE FOB; IT DOES NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT A BUSINESS BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN BACK ON AND I HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE AND TRY TO CRANK IT. IT COMES BACK ON BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN 3 TIMES. NOW, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS I PULLED INTO MY WORK GARAGE, EVERYTHING TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND THIS TIME NOTHING CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THANKFULLY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THIS IS A VERY BUSY CITY STREET IN THE MORNING HOURS. I WAS LUCKY IT TURNED BACK ON AT ALL. ANOTHER TIME, I COULD NOT START MY TRUCK WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK AND I WAS STUCK ON THE 3RD FLOOR OF MY PARKING GARAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I'LL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS TAHOE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO TRAVEL 3 FREEWAYS TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS WELL BECAUSE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL ON GETTING HIT OR HITTING SOMEONE ELSE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH)

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.

FUEL LINE ABOVE GAS TANK WORE A HOLE SPRAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS AROUND REAR EXHAUST AND BRAKE ROTORS. THE HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE WAS DUE TO NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NORMAL WEAR AND VIBRATION WHERE IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE FRAME. THE HOLE OCCURRED AFTER VERY NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 81,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS BEEN USED 99% OF TIME ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST ALL BREAKS ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WOULD NOT STOP, I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DOWNSHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A DUMP TRUCK.
