FOR THAT LAST 9 MONTHS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. AT TIMES, IT FLASHES REALLY FAST BEFORE MY ENGINE STARTS MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES WITH THEM DOING THE FOLLOWING: REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE, NEW SENSOR BOX AND NEW WATER PUMP. THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT 15 MILES FROM ME. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND STILL NO WORD AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES IT'S WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND IT STAYS ALL WHILE BEEN DRIVEN. WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE MAKES THE RUMBLING NOISE IT IS WHILE BEING DRIVEN AND STATIONARY. THE RUMBLING NOISE WILL STOP ONCE I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. BUT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON.

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED; REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILTRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAME TO A DEAD STOP WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME ALONG AND WITH OPPOSING TRAFFIC. I ENGAGED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I TRIED TO REMAIN CALM WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR SINCE IT WAS ALMOST LIFE OR DEATH, I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR AN ANSWER AND I FOUND THAT IF I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD GO AWAY, I DID THAT AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY FOR THE TIME BEING BUT IT HAS ALSO REOCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN.

IT HAS ALSO CAUSE MY KEY TO LOCK UP IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SCARY. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT MYSELF, MY KIDS, OR SOMEONE ELSE. IF YOU GOOGLE THE ISSUE THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS, WEBSITES, BLOGS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE SPENT NUMEROUS HOURS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, LOTS OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS AS RECOMMENDED OR BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. GM IS GOING TO HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS WHEN SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OVER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Feb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

2EA20002 · Outboard Front Seat Belt Anchor Cable Failure
Opened Aug 31, 2020 · Closed Aug 30, 2024
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Seat Belts; Seat Belts:front; Seat Belts:front:anchorage
On August 31, 2020, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened Engineering Analysis (EA) EA20002, as an upgrade of Recall Query (RQ) RQ19003. This investigation, related to recall 14V-266, was opened to investigate instances of detachment of the flexible steel seat belt anchor cable attached to the outboard side of the front seats in vehicles manufactured by General Motors (GM). The subject vehicles included model year (MY) 2009 through 2014 GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chevrolet Traverse SUVs as well as MY 2009 through 2010 Saturn Outlook SUVs. These vehicles were previously repaired for this defect under recall 14V-266. The subject vehicle population is approximately 1.3 million vehicles. Special Coverage N192219480, issued in June 2019, addressed the subject defect in vehicles that previously received the recall remedy repair for subject recall 14V-266. The Special Coverage allows for component replacement for 12 years or 180,000 miles from the initial sale date, whichever comes first. Special Coverage N192219480 instructed service technicians to inspect the driver’s seat belt anchor cable for any damage to the protective sleeve and if damage was observed, the cable was replaced with a new sleeve as well as a new closeout piece that relocated the cable to mitigate the subject condition. In view of the Special Coverage conducted by General Motors, the high detectability of the subject failure, and the low rate of occurrence, this Engineering Analysis is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

The Special Coverage allows for component replacement for 12 years or 180,000 miles from the initial sale date, whichever comes first. Special Coverage N192219480 instructed service technicians to inspect the driver’s seat belt anchor cable for any damage to the protective sleeve and if damage was observed, the cable was replaced with a new sleeve as well as a new closeout piece that relocated the cable to mitigate the subject condition. In view of the Special Coverage conducted by General Motors, the high detectability of the subject failure, and the low rate of occurrence, this Engineering Analysis is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

RQ19003 · Seat Belt Anchor Cable Failure
Opened May 28, 2019 · Closed Aug 31, 2020
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Seat Belts:front; Seat Belts:front:anchorage; Seat Belts:pretensioner
On May 19, 2014, General Motors LLC (GM) notified the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) that it would conduct Safety Recall 14V266 to address fatigue and separation of the flexible steel cable that connects the front outboard seat belts to the seat-mounted belt pre-tensioner in 1.4 million model year (MY) 2009-2010 Saturn Outlook, 2009-2014 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse (Lambda Platform) vehicles.The remedy was to inspect for signs of damage and replace pre-tensioner anchor cables as needed. Re-work was conducted to relocate the pre-tensioner anchor cable out of the occupant entry path. ODI has subsequently received four (4) Vehicle Owners Questionnaires (VOQ) reporting anchor cable separations with no apparent warning in covered vehicles after the Recall 14V266 remedy had been applied.ODI opened RQ19-003 to assess the effectiveness of the actions GM took in Recall 14V266 and review the full warranty and complaint data related to seat belt anchor cable separations and replacements. ODI continues to receive occasional cable failure complaints both for the subject vehicles and other GM models and model years that have also been previously recalled addressing this condition.Although the cable separation complaint rate is very low, over the past three years ODI has received two (2) additional VOQ?s citing belt cable separations for Lambda platform vehicles outside the scope of recall 14V266, (11217092, 11118075) and complaints for other GM models covered in a number of similar Safety Recalls:* 15V269, 2011-12 Chevrolet Malibu (11181115, 11288168); * 16V209, 2014-15 Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500 (11254364, 10935183, 10953851, 11025376, 11282043, 11288701, 11309884); and * 16V518 2014-16 Caprice Police Pursuit, SS (10905644, 10990669, 11340893).ODI's review of GM's data confirms the low potential failure rate for the vehicles covered by recall 14V266. However, ODI believes that complainants may not recognize accumulating cable fatigue damage from the visual cues available in routine vehicle use.ODI is upgrading RQ19-003 to an Engineering Analysis to more closely assess seat belt conditions and strength levels in the field. This work will include the collection of seat belt samples from a wider range of recalled and peer vehicles for detailed analysis and testing.The ODI reports (VOQs) associated with this RQ19-003 can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference numbers: 11144704, 11076704, 11185619, 11151922, 11164011, 10967518, 11113486, 11115648
