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!

MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CRASH INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP US OR USE THE GUARD RAIL AND POSSIBLY GO OVER THE SIDE OF A CLIFF!! MY CAR WAS LOADED WITH 5 CHILDREN AND 2 ADULTS. WE WERE ALL TERRIFIED. I HAD NO INDICATION AS THE DRIVER THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES UNTIL THAT MOMENT. THERE WEREN'T ANY LIGHTS OR WARNINGS THAT SOMETHING WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. MY HOPES IS TO REPORT THIS AND NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

TAHOE IS USED TO COMMUTE TO OWNER'S PROFESSION ROUGHLY 20 MILES EVERY WEEK DAY. ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING HOME, TAHOE HAD STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE SITTING IN OWNER'S GARAGE. IT WOULD THEN ALSO HAVE SIMILAR ODOR WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE CAR. BROUGHT THE TAHOE TO BLASIUS CHEVROLET IN WATERBURY, CT. TAHOE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES AND STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT "FUEL LINE CHEWED THREW BUY (SIC) MOUSE." OWNER ASKED FOR A PICTURE OF THE PINHOLE LEAK CAUSE BY THE MOUSE. IMAGE (WHICH IS ATTACHED) ILLUSTRATES DAMAGE THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL. IT IS SMOOTHLY RUBBED DOWN AND SHOWS NO CHEW MARKS AND IS IN ONE SPECIFIC SPOT. DEALER REFUSED TO USE WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL AND NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING DONE TO THE CAR BY OWNER. ONLY WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THE TAHOE HAS BEEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2015 TAHOES AROUND THE 60K MILES MARK. THE FUEL LINE IS WORN DOWN BY RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE CONSUMER CONSIDERING A FUEL LINE IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD "GET WORN DOWN" OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKING ON THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF IT WAS NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. *TR

IN A DRIVE THRU, PRESSED BRAKE DOWN AND THE PEDAL WAS ROCK HARD. THE TAHOE DIDN'T STOP FOR AN EXTRA 3', WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO A CHIK FIL A WORKER! HE WALKED TO MY WINDOW MAD, AND I TOLD HIM THE BRAKES AREN'T WORKING AND TO MOVE THE CONES SO I COULD GET OUT OF THE DRIVE THRU. HE DID. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND THEY WORKED ENOUGH FOR ME TO LIMP IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT NEAR THERE. HE DIAGNOSED A VACUUM PUMP AND CHARGED MY EMPLOYER, LBB ASSOCIATES INC IN COLUMBIA MD $524 TO REPAIR

WHEN APPLIED TE BRAKE PEDAL SOME TIME FEELS HARD AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ( THAT IS IN LOW RPM WHEN I'M GOING TO PARK THE VEHICLE) ALSO WHEN I'M GOING TO PARKING IN REVERSE FEELS MORE NOISE AND WON'T STOP TOTALLY EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THANK YOU.

MY 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ'S HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THEM. THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT HAS AN INCH OF STANDING WATER IN IT AND NOW THE TURN SIGNAL AND LED RUNNING LIGHT NO LONGER WORK ON THAT SIDE. CHEVROLET SAID IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER TAHOE OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND OUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALSO HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS IN SEVERAL OF THEIR PATROL TAHOES. CHEVY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!!

THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT FILLS WITH CONDENSATION UPON WASHING THE VEHICLE AND DURING RAIN STORMS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS VISIBILITY IS POOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BY GM WITH A SAFETY RECALL.
