Several times when coming to a stop at low speed, the RPMs stay at 1500 despite having foot off accelerator, requiring greatly increased brake pressure to stop or maintain stopping. Seems that the transmission does not downshift to low gear. Just bought vehicle used two days ago, happened three times today. This easily could have resulted in an vehicle or pedestrian accident.

In the last few weeks there have been five instances of the vehicle downshifting multiple gears at approximately 60 MPH with a hard shift. The vehicle was in 2wd mode during all events. This occurred twice on wet roads and resulted in a momentary loss of control which I was able to recover when the rear wheels suddenly slowed and skidded. The vehicle was taken to Brenegen Chevrolet in Onalaska, WI today. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue and charged me for diagnostic time. Vehicle mileage is 53k

I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON TO GO TO THE STORE AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I THEN WENT TO OREILLYS AND GOT A FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, CAME BACK WITH CODE U1501 LIN BUS 1. WHILE DRIVING TO MY HOME FROM OREILLYS, I MADE A SLIGHT TURN TO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED A SECOND AGO. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS CODE AND THE MAKE,MODEL, YEAR OF THIS ISSUE, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AND IT WAS MORE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MADE MY VEHICLE STALL WHILE DRIVING IT THAN ACTUALLY GIVEN THE TIME TO ENJOY THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME CONSIDER SWITCHING TO FORD.

19V761000 · Electronic Stability Control (esc); Service Brakes; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:wheel Speed Sensor/tone Ring

Oct 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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.
