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.

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.

WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS A BRUISE ON HER LEG. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR AN OLDER, LESS AGILE PERSON. IT HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ON OR OFF. THE DEALER PLANS TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE ACTUATOR, BUT IT WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. CHEVY HAS DECLINED COVERAGE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WE DID NOT BUY IT FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND WE DID NOT PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. THERE IS NO RECALL OUTSTANDING SO THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO HELP US. HAD MY WIFE GONE TO A DOCTOR FOR THE BRUISE ON HER LEG CHEVY'S DECISION WOULD HAVE GONE TO A DIFFERENT SUPERVISOR, BUT WE DO NOT ACT THAT WAY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED ON OCT 14 2016. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN LOCAL TRAFFIC WITH SPEEDS 60MPH AND BELOW WITH NO ISSUES. I THEN WENT ON A ROAD TRIP ON NOV 7 2016 WHERE I USED MAJOR INTERSTATES THAT REQUIRED SPEEDS BETWEEN 70-75 MPH. AS SOON AS I HIT THE MAJOR INTERSTATES I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SET TO CRUISE BETWEEN 70-75MPH AND THE VEHICLE REDUCED FROM V8 MODE TO V4 MODE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIGOROUSLY SHAKE. THE HANDLING AND WHEEL TO PAVEMENT CONTACT FELT STABLE SO I CONTINUED MY 600 MILE TRIP. AT TIMES THE SHAKING CONDITIONS MADE ME FEEL DIZZY AND SOMEWHAT NAUSEOUS.

I CALLED THE NUMBER IN THE WARRANTY MANUAL AND STARTED A CLAIM AND THEIR RESOLUTION WAS THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED,BUT THE GM ADVISOR DID SAY THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE? HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THE DESIGN MADE THE VEHICLE DO THIS . TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND GM DOES NOT KNOW WHY YET. THROUGH FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND MULTIPLE POST AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AS WELL AS A FOX NEWS REPORT WHERE GM SPOKESMAN TOM WILKINSON STATED GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND GM WOULD WORK WITH CUSTOMERS CASE BY CASE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE RESOLUTION WAS TO TELL ME THATS WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO SHAKE. I CERTAINLY DONT BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME .

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR A VIBRATION ISSUE. FIRST TIME IT WAS MENTIONED ON AN INVOICE WAS AUGUST OF 2016 BUT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS BEFORE. MY VEHICLE VIBRATES AT ABOUT ANY SPEED. THE FIRST TIME TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THAT IT IS THE SUSPENSION BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE VIBRATION HAS MADE PARTS OF THE VEHICLE TO RATTLE. THE THIRD TIME TO THE DEALER THEY HAD TO FIX A LIGHT ISSUE AND A RATTLE BETWEEN THE PASSENGER FROM DOOR AND BACK DOOR. THE VIBRATION HAPPENS EVERY WHERE AT EVERY SPEED. SCARIEST ON THE HIGHWAY THOUGH. FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO "CRACK" IN HALF. SCARY.

WATER INFILTRATION INTO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS SOAKING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/HEADLINER & DRIPPING DOWN INTO THE INTERIOR ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS AND VIDEO TAPED BY MY WIFE. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE WAS 'AFTER' THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED DURING RAIN STORMS, BELIEVE ONCE WHILE DRIVING & ONCE WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I AM UNSURE OF THE SERVICE REPAIR DATES FOR THESE INSTANCES BUT BELIEVE IT WAS IN APRIL/MAY/JUNE OF 2016, THESE SERVICE RECORDS WERE SENT TO THE MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL IN A CLAIM I FILED IN JUNE 2016, OF WHICH THAT CLAIM IS BEING ADDRESSED BY PAUL MUELLER OF THE CONSUMER SERVICES DIVISION. PREVIOUS TO MY FILING WITH THE ATTY GEN I ATTEMPTED NEGOTIATINS WITH GM, OF WHICH A GM CASE NUMBER WAS CREATED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND AFTER THE WATER POURING IN I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY ISSUES AS I HAVE HAD A TAHOE BURN DUE TO WATER INFILTRATION, OF WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY STATE FARM INSURANCE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY, I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH FUTURE COSTS TO FIX ANYTHING THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE CAUSED, AND, THESE INSTANCES HAVE GREATLY REDUCED RESALE VALUE OF THIS NEW VEHICLE. I WANT GM TO EITHER REPLACE THIS VEHICLE, OR, GIVE ME A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR AS LONG AS WE OWN IT.
