The passenger side front seat belt tightens up continuously when worn. As a consequence, the belt is useless and unusable. I have attempted to get it repaired 3 times at two different dealerships to no avail. I know of two othe vehicles with the same problem. The service manager at the dealership says that his vehicle has the same problem. The manufacturer tells me there is no fix available. This is a serious safety deficeiency and should be addressed on this very high volume vehicle (suburban, denali, tahoe etc..)

Chevy dealer said bad o2 sensor changed. Traveling approx 300 miles again sudden electrical halt. Fuel tank filter changed. A large expense. Then 400 miles on interstate sudden electrical failure. Taken to chevy dealer they found it to be the electrical connection in the ignition. *tr

My pickup had a recall (#01021) to change the recommended air pressure . The pressure went from 55psi in the front and 80 psi in the rear to 35 psi on all tires. I contacted firestone and they told me this pressure was unsafe and those tires should have no less than 58psi. The new sticker makes no mention of increasing the air pressure if a load is being carried. The rgvw for that truck is 6084 lbs, and the tires are each rated to carry 3042 lbs at 80 psi. A lower air pressure drastically reduces the load bearing capability of the tire, which is not accounted for by gmc. My dealer agrees that the pressure is to low and has recommended i remove the tag and use the previous recommended pressure. I and the dealer have contacted gmc and can get no answer on why they changed the pressure and whether it is safe. I am concerned that other owners will not realize there is a possible safety concern with operating these tires at such a low psi. *ak (tiresize: lt245/75)

The day time running lights on all gm models are too bright and misadjusted too high, causing excessive glare, blinding other drivers and causing significant annoyance. Models that are worst are all saturns, blazers, all mini vans, all light pickup trucks, all grand ams, all impala, all monte carlo, (the trans am, corvette and camaro do not seem to exhibit this problem)
