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.

AT AROUND 59,000 MILES THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS VERY BOUNCY AND A HARD RIDE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE REAR SHOCKS HAD EXTENDED OUT AND STUCK. STATED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL OF VEHICLE 2015 TAHOE LTZ. THE LEFT FRONT STRUT WAS ALSO LEAKING. WAS ADVISED THIS SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY TO ADJUST THE RIDE AND HAVE ALL FOUR STRUT/SHOCKS WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH EACH OTHER TO LEVEL OUT FOR A SMOOTH RIDE. WELL $1900.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REAR INSTALLED AND ABOUT $1000.0 FOR THE FRONT. SO $3000.00 DOLLARS LATER NO COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THEN 60K MILES IS NOT GOOD. HELL MY FIRST SET OF FACTORY TIRES OUT LASTED THE MECHANICAL SHOCKS/STRUTS. IT APPEARS CHEVY HAS A ISSUE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX OR DO A RECALL NOTICE ON. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN VEHICLE HANDLING IN CURVES AND HILLS?

THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO TRY AND REGAIN SOME KIND OF BRAKING AND THE ABS SYSTEM TRIED TO KICK IN BUT WAS ONLY PARTIALLY AFFECTIVE AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP AFTER I CROSSED THE INTERSECTION AND RAN OVER A CURB.

MY 2015 TAHOE BEGAN HESITATING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL LEADING ME TO BELIEVE I HAD PURCHASED SOME BAD GASOLINE. THIS CONTINUED FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED BY AN AUTOMOTIVE PLACE AND AS I WAS DRIVING A WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. THEY HOOKED IT TO COMPUTER AND REFERRED ME TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST LOCATED THREE MILES AWAY. THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. MY 2015 TAHOE ONLY HAD 107,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN ABOUT FOUR OTHER TAHOES OF THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $3300.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK HAD A WARNING LIGHT BEEN ACTIVATED TWO WEEKS BEFORE I MAY COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP EARLIER AND HAD IT REPAIRED INSTEAD OF REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO ME WAY TOO SOON TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN AN AUTOMOBILE.

I HAD A SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT THAT CAME ON MY 2015 TAHOE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO VOSS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN CENTERVILLE OHIO, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FAILING AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN (TSB 14858) IN 2015 FOR SELECT 2015 TAHOES. THE TAHOE'S AFFECTED INCLUDED VEHICLES WITH AN 8 CYLINDER ENGINE (RPO L83 OR L86). THIS DESCRIBES MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL, SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE TSB RECALL. I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY ALSO SAID MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEY WERE NOT VERY CLEAR AS TO WHICH VINS THEY DECIDED TO INCLUDE WHEN ALL OF THE TAHOE'S WERE MADE ON THE SAME PRODUCTION LINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY ALL OF THE VINS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THE HOSES. GM CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID A PORTION OF THE EXPENSES, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO GM.

SUSPENSION BOUNCES SO BADLY THAT THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNSTABLE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. FAILURE HAPPENED AROUND 75,000 MILES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AMONG THE TAHOE, SUBURBAN, AND YUKONS. GM HAS FAILED ITS CUSTOMERS BY NOT COVERING THE DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION UNDER THESE VEHICLES. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM THIS CAR.
