General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles.

OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FLUID IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY COULD PRODUCE A LOUD WHINE AND/OR GEAR OR BEARING NOISE." THESE VEHICLES WERE THEN TOPPED OFF WITH FLUID AND SOME STILL HAD NOISES PRESENT REQUIRING DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLIES TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THE ISSUE PERSISTS. DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTER WERE TELLING CUSTOMERS THE "WARBLE" SOUND THEY HEAR IS JUST DUE TO ENGINE NOISE/VIBRATION AND THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. NOW THAT VEHICLES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY THE ISSUE IS THAT DIFFERENTIALS INTERNALS ARE BEYOND REPAIR AND NEED REPLACING. GM HAS CHOOSEN NOT TO ISSUE A STANDARD RECALL, EVEN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED 2014 MODELS WERE NOTIFIED, HANDLED AT DEALERS, AND PUT A STOP SALE ON VEHICLES FOR THE ISSUE BUT THEY ENDED THAT PROGRAM 11/30/2015.

The contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while trying to get out of parallel parking, the accelerator was depressed, and the vehicle jumped. There were no warning lights illuminated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle that was in front. The contact snapped her neck. No medical assistance was needed. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired however the failure persisted four more times. On a separate occasion, the vehicle would accelerate on its own without any reason, the contact would turn the vehicle off and back on, to drive the vehicle back to normal conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where unknown repairs were completed. The dealer informed the contact that the gas pedal had glue on it. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,400.
HAD C7 Z51 STICK 2014 AND HAD PROBLEM WITH TRACTION AND STABILITY CONTROL. AFTER PURCHASED THE CAR I RECOGNIZED THAT WHEN ACCELERATION BIT FASTER THERE WAS BACK AXLE, PARKING BRAKE AND SOME OTHER WARNINGS. IT HAPPENED ALWAYS WHEN ACCELERATED BIT FASTER. WINTER STAB WORKED OK. BUT NOW IN SUMMER I LOST CONTROL ON HIGHWAY DRIVING 50 MPH ACCELERATING ON WET ROAD AND LOST CONTROL AND HIT GUARD RAIL. THERE WAS NO STABILITY OR TRACTION CONTROL WHAT SO EVER. I WAS IN ECO MODE WHICH HAS NORMAL STAB/TRAC CONTROL. I BROUGHT TO DEALER WHEN WARNING LIGHTS COME UP, BUT DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL NO WORRY EVERYTHING IS OK. BUT IT WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL!!
THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FROM DOING 25 MPH AT 1200 RPM, TO OVER 6500 RPM AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE ON MY OWN, AND PRESSING THE BRAKE DID NOTHING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THIS, MY VEHICLE IS POSSIBLY TOTALLED AND LUCKILY MYSELF, OR NO ONE ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT OR LOST OUR LIFE. I HAVE TRIES CONTACTING SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR HAVE THEIR BEEN OTHER CASES OF THIS TO NO AVAIL. I DO ALSO PLAN ON CONTACTING CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALSO.

Known Fuel Tank crack GM Memo "Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange", whose previous warranty extension has expired and shouldn't be! GM assumes no responsibility for notifying vehicle owners who purchased used vehicles from non-dealers, which is what I did. I never received any notices about this leak from them since 2018, when I bought the vehicle used from a non-GM dealer. I just recently discovered the leak and had it repaired for $ 5,300.00. I had been driving a vehicle that could have exploded for over 7 years and did not know it. There must be others who are still driving these without knowing. Below is my request to GM to reconsider their 'not covered' response to my email. I suggest that a known Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange of the gas tank is a life-threatening issue and should never expire! Especially, since many of us bought these vehicles used, 2018 in my case, and have NEVER received any notifications from dealers or GM about this issue. How many others are still outstanding and could blow someone up? The pictures below were taken at my Watson Chevrolet dealer in Tucson, AZ this month, which shows that the crack is exactly what was outlined in your publication 17469, that I never received. Total bill was $5,330.89 (copy attached). I am asking GM to reimburse me for this horrible adventure, not to mention the danger that I've been in for these many years. While I should have detected this issue sooner, how was I to know? I finally gave a friend a ride who said she smelled a really bad gas odor, which led me to the dealer! Now, GM says "you're too late" for us to cover our known defect? Again, this is a life-threatening issue, and your warranty should never expire!
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette equipped with Silver's North America NEOMAX coil-overs. The contact stated that while driving through a parking garage at less than 10 MPH, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the vehicle after driving over a speed bump. The rear driver’s side of the vehicle lowered as the subframe detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure the vehicle remained stuck in the parking garage because the vehicle could not be towed out of the parking garage. The contact also stated that the vehicle could not be moved without causing further damage to it. The contact stated that the vehicle became an obstruction to the other motorist entering the parking garage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and an agent attempted to assist the contact; however, the agent stated that any attempts to move the vehicle could be dangerous and cause more damage to the vehicle. The part was not yet replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
The electric power-steering assist is failing while my vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use significantly more effort and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened, although it has happened at slower, neighborhood speeds. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed and service power steering, drive with caution and the steering is all non-power steering. At times, when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue for the 2014 Corvette, but see the exact symptoms for the 2017 Corvette (GM' number for this recall is N182182760). Help....please!
09/30/2024 The smell is gasoline is emanating from the driver side after I put gas at a local gas station. A short while after I arrived home, the smell of gasoline was still strong. I observed a puddle of gas by the driver side door underneath the gas filler. I have not attempted to start the car until I know it is safe to move to a local dealership or mechanic. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, upon inspection of the engine compartment, the contact became aware of a fuel leak; however, the location of the leak was unknown. The contact was made aware of the Chevrolet Special Coverage Program: 17469 (Cracks on the Top Surface of Fuel Tank Fuel Pump Module); however, the Extended Warranty Coverage had expired before the repair was performed. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired because the warranty had expired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
Earlier in the year I called GM about getting my Navigation updated. I ask when the next update would made current. I was told it would probably be in May. I decided to wait until then and it would be more accurate. When I called, they told me that GM had decided not to furnish a new update. I then tried to order one for last year and they could not update that either. I was willing to pay for it. With all the changes in highway's, it is dangerous to try to use it. They sold me the navigation and then made it obsolete. They did Bluetooth the radio but not the navigation. This is a safety hazard, and I feel the least they could do is charge me for the update and furnish it. It is still accurate except for new streets and there are a lot of changes. Help!
The vehicle fails to keep the engine cool when idling or traveling at low speeds and in low gears. When at a stop light, the engine temperature quickly increases to unsafe temperatures, and has even had to be shut off and went up in steam from the engine. Coolant level was and is still full. I believe the cooling fans fail to stay on, maybe due to being turned off on the highways, and therefore fail to turn back on after exiting the highway.
fuel leak on tank -dealer said had a crack-these tanks should not crack. not available but replaced tank at the dealership to repair. risk fire. check engine light started coming on about 6 months ago
