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.

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.

FAILURE IN BRAKE VACUUM PUMP CAUSED MY BRAKES TO IMPROPERLY WORK THIS ME REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR. BRAKE FELT LIKE A ROCK AND PUSHED BACK AGAINST MY FOOT.

PROBLEM HAD BEEN INTERMITTENT AT VERY LOW PARKING LOT SPEEDS.

THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SO I WANTED TO DOCUMENT ONE MORE CASE TO PUSH GM FOR A RECALL. MY FAMILY ALMOST HAD A BAD CRASH THE OTHER DAY DUE TO THIS AND NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS IS NOT ACTIVATING TO CAUSE THIS, IT IS MORE A LACK OF BOOST IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WE ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON OUR TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP, GOING OVER AN UNEVEN PART OF THE ROAD, OVER EVEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE (SO BASICALLY JUST DRIVING IN GENERAL!) THE VEHICLE BOUNCES UP AND DOWN HARSHLY. THE VEHICLE WILL BOUNCE SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RIDES "NORMAL" AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD, AND I SAY "NORMAL" LOOSELY AS IT IT STILL NOT RIDING PROPERLY. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE BECOMES SO BOUNCY, THAT I FEEL THE VEHICLE COME OFF THE ROAD, AND HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE OTHER LANE BEFORE. GM IS GOING TO LOOK AT , BUT IF ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO FIX. THIS IS ALSO A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH A POWER-TRAIN, AND CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY CURRENTLY ACTIVE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE BAD MAGNETIC STRUTS ON SOMETHING I'VE OWNED 1 & 1/2 YEARS. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT GM HAS ZERO LOANER VEHICLES FOR ME TO DRIVE, SO THEY SUGGEST I PAY OUT OF POCKET AND USE ENTERPRISE. IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD, THAT I KNOW THE PARTS IN THE ROAD WHERE IT BOUNCES THE WORST, AND I HAVE TO COME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP BEFORE GOING OVER THAT PATCH, JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAYS, DIRT ROAD, BASICALLY ANY TYPE OF ROAD.
