I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I AM ABOUT TO EXPLAIN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK. I WOULD EXPERIENCE AN ABRUPT SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR SHORTLY AFTER STARTING AND ON OCCASION IT WOULD ABRUPTLY SHIFT DOWN FROM SECOND TO FIRST, FEELING AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. I SCHEDULED MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE ON DECEMBER 16, 2017 AT 6217 MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER, AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, ADVISED ME THE COMPLAINT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS "NORMAL", AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD "TO LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS" AND WOULD CLEAR BY MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE. MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE WAS NOVEMBER 29, 2018, AFTER HAVING ONLY DRIVEN 5,000 MILES AND I AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL TOO NEW AND THAT IT'S NOT COMPLETED LEARNING MY DRIVING HABITS UNTIL AT LEAST 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE SEARCHED SEVERAL CHEVY TRUCK FORUMS (I.E. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, GMTRUCKCLUB.COM, AND GM-TRUCK.COM) AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINANTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY OWNERS ACROSS THE STATES. EVERYONE COMPLAINS OF CHEVY NOT ABLE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND CITING "NORMAL" OPERATION. ON MAY 28, 2020 I WROTE TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. ON JUNE 26, 2020 I RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET IN A LETTER STATING THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT ME AND IF THERE WAS NO FURTHER ISSUES THEY WOULD CLOSE THE CASE. I CALLED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND SPOKE TO "[XXX]", REFUSING ANY FURTHER IDENTIFICATION, STATING HE WOULD TRY AND GET ME ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. JUST YESTERDAY, WHILE APPROACHING THE COMMUNITY SECURITY GATE AT MY HOUSING COMPLEX, THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND, LURCHING FORWARD, REQUIRING ME TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE TO AVOID CONTACT. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS. PLEASE HELP!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD AND SHUDDERED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE MY AUTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS ON. IT CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY WOULD TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED REPLACED. REPLACED THAT AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS ON. 3 DAYS LATER, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HERE I AM, OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND NO WAY TO PAY THE 5,000 IT TAKES TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION. AS I AM READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING, GM WAS AWARE OF AND HASN'T MADE A FIX FOR THIS YET. GM REFUSES TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL.

MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED ON NOVEMBER 11, 2019. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. AS A FEW MONTHS MORE PAST, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM MUCH AS WE HAVE QUARANTINED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN MUCH. HOWEVER, SINCE LATE MAY, THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH MOVING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I HAVE NOW SEEN THE WARNING TO SERVICE THE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEAR ON MY DASH. ON MAY 28TH, 2020, WHILE BACKING OUR BOAT INTO STORAGE, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE STORAGE ENTRY SIDE WALL AS THERE IS A SLIGHT HILL JUST IN FRONT OF OUR STORAGE. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE ENTRY SIDE WALL. THE ISSUE OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAD TO MANEUVER THE BOAT BACK AND FORTH MUCH DIFFERENTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BRAKING ISSUE. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD A NEW VACUUM BRAKE PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED AND WOULD BE AT CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. *TR

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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

Aug 3, 2017

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

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. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
