THE REAR TAIL-GATE HAS COME DOWN BY ITSELF WHEN PUTTING ITEMS INTO OR TAKING ITEMS OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES AND WITHOUT WARNING.

BEGINNING AROUND 56,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LURCHING AND STUTTERING AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS WORSE WHEN COLD BUT NEVER QUITE GOES AWAY. DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS AND FELT IT BUT SAID ALL WAS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. BEGINNING AROUND 65,000 IT STARTED STUTTERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE IN MOTION, SUCH AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO PASS. THIS IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN'T GET THE POWER YOU NEED WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHEN TO SHIFT.

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT QUIT WORKING TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD FIXED IT AND HAD NOT. TOOK BACK TO THEM AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET ONE IT'S ON BACK ORDER. AFTER LOOKING INTO IT MYSELF IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX BUT PUT THE SAME LIGHTS BACK IN THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN. I'VE ASKED ABOUT AN UPDATED LIGHT THAT WOULDN'T FAIL AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE LIGHTS AT ALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

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.
