19V-761
October 24, 2019 · General Motors LLC
Problem
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.
Safety risk
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.

Driving our Tahoe today and every light pertaining to the brakes as well as a few other came on.. You can feel the vehicle pulling to one side and hear the transfer case howling.. We have replace the transmission a little over a year ago with a certified GM mechanic..Recall - N192261050 and N262557620 do not fall under our Vin# but this is exactly what's going on with our vehicle.. My wife drives this vehicle daily with our kids in it.. If a catastrophic failure occurs with either of these issues she will wreck and endanger herself and our kids..We have no other vehicle to drive as this one is too unsafe and we do not have the financial ability to just pay out of pocket for GM's product fali

At approximately 80,700 miles, I started my 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe (6.2L V8) to take my family on errands. My wife heard a squeaking noise from the engine as she walked to the vehicle, and I got out and heard the same noise. No warning lights or messages appeared on the dashboard, before or after. I took the vehicle to an independent repair shop, expecting a belt problem. After inspection, the shop told me the valve lifters had failed and needed replacement, and that the camshaft would likely need replacement as well. I declined the repair and took the vehicle to a GM dealership for inspection and documentation. The GM dealer confirmed the lifters need replacement. They could not confirm wheth

6.2l Engine Failure: Vehicle was purchased last November at 113000 miles and at approximately 127000 miles we heard a noise coming from our engine one morning. Took it to the dealer we purchased the truck from because we bought an extended warranty and they got back to us and said there were metal flakes in our oil. They dove deeper and said it was connected to internal engine failure. They told us we could keep driving it but we said no that’s too dangerous and current it’s sat 3 weeks on their lot while we figure out what the warranty company is going to do and if we’re going to be able to get a new motor from GM. I owe $40,000 on a car that is basically junk and idk what to do. When my de
