2015 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

IF YOU PRESS BRAKE OR USE LEFT TURN SIGNAL OVERHEAD DOME LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME.

INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH RANDOMLY. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT OCCURS DAY AND NIGHTTIME BUT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN SEP 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SHREDDED METAL EXPOSED AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER SEAT WILL MOVE FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS MAKING IT UNABLE TO REACH PEDALS TO STOP SAFELY, AIR BAG LIGHT WILL FLASH ERRATICALLY, LOUD TICKING NOISE, MISS-FIRE/VIBRATION WHILE IDLING. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO FIX STILL NOT FIXED, CONTACTED GM ABOUT ISSUES AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT. NOW DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO WORK ON TAHOE

THE BRAKE PEDAL SITS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN MOVING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY FOOT GETS CAUGHT ON THE BACK OF THE BRAKE PEDAL.

BAD VIBRATION AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 TO 75 MPH ( GM DEALER HAS HAD CAR 3 TIMES AND REPLACED TIRES, ROAD FORCED BALANCED, CHECKED ALIGNMENT WITH NO SUCCESS ) ; WIND NOISE AND BUFFETING INSIDE CAR WITH ALL WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION AT SPEEDS FROM 35 MPH AND UP CAUSING DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA ON LONGER RIDES. EXTERIOR DOOR PLASTIC FASCIA BECOMES LOOSE AND FALLS OFF DUE TO METAL CLIP BREAKING OFF AT THE ATTACHMENT POINT.

A-PILLAR WATER LEAK - VEHICLE IS NOT DESIGNED TO HAVE WATER IN THE A-PILLAR. WATER MAY HAVE DAMAGED SIDE AIR CURTAIN

THE ALERTS ARE DEAFENING WITH NO WAY TO THEM DOWN OR OFF. VERY PAINFUL TO EAR. THEY COME ON FOR EVERY LITTLE THING. THE CHIME VOLUME IS ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT THEY ARE LOUDER THAN ANY CAR I RENT OR HAVE EVER DRIVEN.

ALL 4 PIECES OF DOOR PILLAR TRIM HAVE COME OFF OR LOSE AND BANGING AGAINST VEHICLE.

WIND NOISE AND BUFFETING IN CAB DRIVING DISTRACTION

2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. EVERYTIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD ILLUMINATE AND FLASH CAUSING BLINDNESS AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. SPOKE TO DEALER WHO STATED THEY NEVER HEARD OF ISSUE. PROVIDED THEM WITH A POSSIBLE TSB #P11268 FROM ALLDATA. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 50 TIMES

THE STEERING MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT REPRODUCED, BUT FINALLY RECEIVED A BULLETIN ADVISING TO REPLACE THE STEERING BEARINGS. THIS WAS DONE YESTERDAY AND IT STILL DOES IT TODAY. I'VE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON THE INTERNET, SOME MENTIONING IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO CONTACT THEIR ENGINEERS FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE. HOWEVER, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY OF THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN ERROR CODE THAT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WIND NOISE, CAB BUFFETING

TAHOE 2015 LS TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AFTER CYCLING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. SUV WILL SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO AUTO SHIFT INTO PARK LIKE CONDITION AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I HAD TO PLACE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. IT ALSO KICK HARD WHEN ENGAGED. THE SUV ONLY HAS 5089 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THIS SUV NEW FROM RELIABLE CHEVROLET IN RICHARDSON, TX. TODAY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. IT NOW WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE MORE TO INCREASE THE RPM TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO KICK IN. IT THEN KICK HARD INTO REVERSE. I BROUGHT THIS SUV TO MY DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIX. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING AND RETURN THIS SUV BACK TO ME. I HAVE ANOTHER MAJOR STOP AND NO GO TRANSMISSION ISSUE AGAIN TODAY FEB 8, 2016. THIS TIME I HAVE MY TEENAGE SON WITH ME AND THIS REALLY UPSET ME. SOMEONE COULD HAVE HIT ME FROM BEHIND SINCE THE ROAD WAS A DOWNHILL RUN WITH A STOP LIGHT. I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO MY RELIABLE CHEVROLET DEALER IN RICHARDSON, TX TOMORROW FEB 9, 2016 AND DEMAND THEN TO FIX IT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW TRUCK. IF THE ELECTRONICS OF THE TRANSMISSION TELLS THE MECHANICAL PARTS TO GO INTO PARK POSITION WHILE CRUISING DOWN THE STREET, THIS WILL BE A VERY BAD OUTCOME. PLEASE TELL MARY BARRA TO KEEP HER PROMISE NO MORE CRAP CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO HURT SOMEONE.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OVER THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS AND THE CARGO AREA BLINK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS APPLIED. THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED ONCE AND THE ISSUE SEEMED TO GO AWAY. IT HAS NOW RETURNED AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE LAMPS NEED TO BE UPGRADED.

ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH THE CAPABILITY FOR DINGY TOWING USING THE OPTIONAL TRANSFER CASE AS PER THE LAST 3 GENERATIONS OF TAHOE'S, IT BECAME APPARENT A DESIGN ISSUE WAS PRESENT THE FIRST TIME I PUT THE CASE IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I ADVISED THE GM DEALER AND A MONTH LATER THEY CHANGED THE PROCEDURE CALLING FOR BATTERY DISCONNECTION. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF ALL INFORMATION. THE FIRST TIME I DINGY TOWED THE CAR USING GM PROCEDURES MY ONLY KEY FOB UNSYNCED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED. THIS LEFT ME WITH THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL CONNECTED TO MY BUS WITH NO WAY TO DISCONNECT IT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BACK UP WITH THE VEHICLE CONNECTED TO THE BUS AND THERE WAS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. I WAS DEAD IN THE WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I LEFT THE DEAD KEYFOB ON THE CONSOLE AND WENT TO RETRIEVE MY PHONE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEY FOB INSIDE. ONSTAR TRIED 4 TIMES TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS OR RECOGNITION OF THE SIGNAL FROM ONSTAR. GM SENT EMERGENCY SERVICE 3 HOURS LATER AND THEY HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CAR TO OPEN IT. IN ORDER TO UNHOOK THE CAR I HAD TO DRAG A 14' LIMB OUT OF THE WOODS AND BLOCK UP THE BACK WHEELS AND EASE THE BUS BACK ABOUT 1" TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE TOWING SYSTEM. I CLEARED THE BUS OUT OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS UNTIL WE UNLOCKED IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY TO A PET OR BABY LOCKED IN THE CAR DUR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD IDLE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO A CURB, THE PLASTIC WIND DEFLECTOR WAS PLACED TOO LOW (APPROXIMATELY EIGHT INCHES FROM THE PAVEMENT), MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB WITHOUT PULLING OUT THE FRONT FENDER.

THE CAR FAILS TO LOCK OR DISABLE THE EXTRA KEY (KEY FOB), MAKING IT SUSCEPTIBLE TO THEFT AND JOYRIDING, WHEN 1) PASSIVE LOCKING IS ON, 2) THE EXTRA KEY FOB IS IN THE CAR AND 3) A DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY PASSIVELY LOCKED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO SEVERAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS, CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE AND ELEVATED TO CHEVROLET ENGINEERING IN AT LEAST TWO CASES. NOT ONLY DOES THE OWNERS MANUAL STATE THAT PASSIVE LOCKING WORKS WITH ONLY ONE RKE TRANSMITTER (KEY FOB) REMOVED, IT MAKES LOGICAL SENSE THAT IT WOULD BE DESIGNED THAT WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU TAKE YOUR WIFE OUT FOR DINNER. SHE LEAVES HER PURSE IN THE CAR, WITH THE SECOND KEY IN IT, YOU WOULD STILL WANT THE CAR TO PASSIVELY LOCK IF YOU HAD THAT FUNCTION ON AND YOU WALKED AWAY FROM THE CAR. FOLLOWING ARE THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PASSIVE LOCKING IS TURNED ON AND WHAT THE POSSIBLE FATAL CONSEQUENCES MIGHT BE: 1) AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THE PASSIVE LOCKING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS PROPERLY AND LOCKS THE CAR WITH BOTH KEY FOBS REMOVED OR WITH ONE FOB IN THE CAR. 2) WITH BOTH FOBS REMOVED, SOMEONE WITH A KEY FOB CAN APPROACH THE CAR AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR ANY NUMBER OF TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY WALK AWAY, THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY (PASSIVELY) LOCK. 3) IF ONLY ONE KEY FOB IS REMOVED, SOMEONE WITH THE EXTERNAL FOB CAN APPROACH AND OPEN THE CAR BUT THE CAR WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FOB INSIDE THE CAR REMAINS ACTIVE AND ALLOWS ANYONE TO

WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING AN EXCESSIVE FRESH FUEL SMELL WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN WE START OUR VEHICLE TO WARM UP PRIOR TO DRIVING IN THE MORNING. ALSO SOUNDS LIKE EXHAUST IS MISSING A LITTLE AT IDLE. TOOK IT IN AND DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES RELATING TO OUR PROBLEM. THEY DID HOWEVER FIND A TSB 14858 FOR POSSIBLE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP LEAK. THEY REPLACED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND SEALS WITH NEW LINE AND TEST DROVE VEHICLE. THEY STATE VEHICLE IS OK. WE JUST PICKED UP VEHICLE SO HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM OF SMELLING EXCESSIVE GAS IS STILL PRESENT OR NOT. WILL CONFIRM IN THE MORNING

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE LOWERED IN ORDER FOR THE SEAT BELT TO WORK PROPERLY.

THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR WAS CONNECTED TO THE SEAT AND NOT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENSION MADE FOR THE SEAT BELT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LAST NIGHT VEHICLE START JERKING AND WHEN ACCELERATING IT WOULD HESITATE THEN TAKE OF AND THERE WAS A SOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT MORNING WHICH IS TODAY WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE THERE WAS A ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAID 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD GO IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. THIS CONTINUED ALL DAY AND FEEL THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE WHEN IT ERRATICALLY GOES INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEED THE STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I WILL TAKE IT TO DEALER MONDAY..

IT STARTED WITH A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. A WEEK LATER IT MADE A CLICKING SOUND AGAIN ON A HARD TURN. I CALLED GM TO ASK ABOUT A BUY BACK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR WITH KIDS. THEN LATER THE SAME DAY, I WAS BACKING OUT OF SONS LITTLE LEAGUE GAME AND STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND DISPLAYED LOCKED ON INFORMATION SCREEN. I HIT BRAKES AND LOCK DISPLAY DISAPPEARED SO I SHIFTED TO PARK AND THEN TO BACK TO REVERSE AND STEERING COLUMN LOCK AGAIN DISPLAY AND LOCK. I THEN PUT CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF. I TURN CAR BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND IT WAS WORKING FINE NO MORE STEERING COLUMN LOCK DISPLAY. I HAVE A KEYLESS START, LOADED LT MODEL THAT HAS ALL FEATURES OF AN LTZ TAHOE.

THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM JUST DOESN'T WORK. I CANNOT MAKE IT PRODUCE A COLLISION ALERT NO MATTER WHAT I DO. FOR EXAMPLE IT IS ADVERTISED TO PROVIDE A HEADS UP VISUAL WARNING AS WELL AS AN AUDIAL WARNING IF I APPROACH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO RAPIDLY. IT DOES NOT THE SYSTEM ALSO A GREEN AUTOMOBILE ICON WHEN YOU ARE FOLLOWING CLOSER THAN ABOUT 200 FEET TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE GREEN ICON IS ADVERTISED TO TURN YELLOW IF YOU FOLLOW TOO CLOSE. IT DOES NOT. THE ONLY TIME THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN THE RED HEADS UP DISPLAY IS WHEN IT IS A FALSE ALERT. ALL AND ALL, THIS SYSTEM WHICH WAS TOUTED TO BE A GREAT SAFETY FEATURE IS TOTALLY WORTHLESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND IT TOOK A GREATER AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,562. UPDATED 6/18/15*CN UPDATED 10/12/2017*CN

UPON PURCHASE OF A NEW 2015 TAHOE I OBSERVED THE POSSIBILITY OF A PROBLEM WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM (FCA). I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHEVROLET. ON 9 APRIL 2015 THE SERVICE MANAGER, ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER, MASTER TECHNICIAN, AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT MODERATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS I DEMONSTRATED THE VARIOUS PHASES AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE DETECTION. THE FCA HAS PLENTY OF SENSITIVITY AND DETECTS VEHICLES IN EXCESS OF THE SPECIFIED DISTANCE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH IS NOT AN ISSUE. AT A MODERATE CLOSING RATE BETWEEN VEHICLES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ICON CHANGES FROM GREEN TO AMBER-ORANGE WHICH APPEARS NOMINAL. HOWEVER, THE RED ALARM HEADS-UP WINDSHIELD DISPLAY, RAPID HIGH-PITCHED BEEPS AND RED ICON ARE NEVER ACTIVATED UNTIL A CLOSING DISTANCE ABOUT ~3 FEET BEFORE A COLLISION. THERE IS VIRTUALLY ZERO REACTION TIME FOR A DRIVER TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AT LESS THAN ONE CAR LENGTH BEFORE GOING TO RED. IN ADDITION, THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO DISENGAGE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC). CONSIDERING TIME, RATE, AND DISTANCE THIS IS INEFFECTIVE AS THE MASS AND KINETIC ENERGY ALSO NEEDS TO FULLY DISENGAGE BEFORE A POTENTIAL COLLISION. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF CREATING A TRAFFIC INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TESTED TO THE LEVEL OF A FULL COLLISION. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR SOFTWARE PATCHES THAT MAY CORRECT THIS DEFICIENCY BY THE DEALER. GM STATED THAT THE SY

JANUARY 15, 2015 NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I GOT IN IT AFTER WORK AND NOTICED I COULDN'T MANAGE THE CLIMATE CONTROLLERS (HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING/SPEED/AIR FLOW) NOTHING IN THE FRONT OR BACK. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SENT IN A PICTURE. ALL THE KNOBS AND CONTROLLERS FOR JUST THE CLIMATE WERE DARK, NO LIGHTING AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. I DROVE IT HOME AND SINCE IT WAS SO COLD OUT IT WAS THOUGHT MAYBE IT JUST NEEDED TO WARM UP MORE. I DROVE 45 MINUTES HOME AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLLERS NEVER TURNED ON AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS ALSO HAVING OTHER ISSUES AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROLLERS FROM THAT POINT ON UNTIL THIS WEEKEND. ON MARCH 21, 2015 I DROVE TO PICK UP BREAKFAST, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AN HOUR LATER AFTER WE PILED IN THE VEHICLE AND WERE DRIVING I WENT TO KICK THE AIR ON AS IT WAS GETTING WARM AND NOTICED THE CONTROLLERS WERE NOT RESPONDING AGAIN. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND RECORDED MY ACTIONS SO THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SAY THEY NEED TO "SEE IT." I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, TRIED TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF, REMOTE STARTING, EVERYTHING BUT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. NOTHING. THE REST OF THE DAY WHILE WE BOUNCED FROM STORE TO STORE WITH HAD NO AIR. MARCH 22ND, IT WAS BACK ON AS NORMAL. TODAY MARCH 23RD AFTER WORK IT WAS NOT OPERATIONAL AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THE LAST POST I HAD ON THIS SITE WAS WHEN I HAD A 2

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2014. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN AUGUST 2014 PER GM RECALL NUMBER 14126 ON AUGUST 22, 2014. THE RECALL WAS TO REPROGRAM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUSTER. AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE, THOUGH, THE SCREEN ON THE DASH PANEL OPERATED IN A DIFFERENT AND DANGEROUS MANNER. PRIOR TO THE RECALL, I KEPT THE SCREEN ON THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. PRIOR TO THE RECALL, WHEN I WOULD PLACE OR RECEIVE A CALL USING THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION, THE SCREEN WOULD SWITCH TO A PHONE SCREEN, BUT WHEN THE CALL ENDED, THE SCREEN IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE PRIOR SCREEN, SHOWING THE SPEEDOMETER. EVER SINCE THAT RECALL REPROGRAMMING, HOWEVER, AT THE END OF THE CALL, THE SCREEN STAY BLANK EXCEPT FOR THE WORD "PHONE", SO I HAVE TO PLAY AROUND WITH ALL OF THE SETTING OPTIONS (BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL) UNTIL I FIND THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER AGAIN. THIS IS A DISTRACTION TO MY DRIVING, AND IS A CLEAR ERROR IN THE REPROGRAMMING BY GM (OF WHAT POSSIBLE USE CAN A BLANK PHONE SCREEN BE?). AFTER I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER GAVE ME A COPY OF GM BULLETIN#PIT5285 ON THIS VERY ISSUE, DATED MAY 6, 2014 (BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND CLEARLY NOT IMPLEMENTED ON THE CAR), SAYING THAT THIS IS A "NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE CAR. THAT IS A BLATANT FALSEHOOD, BECAUSE I DROVE IT FOR 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE REPROGRAMMING, AND "NORMAL" WAS AN IMMEDIATE RETURN TO THE PRIOR SCREEN, WHICH IN MY CASE WAS THE DIGITAL S

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THERE IS A DISTINCT DARK SECTION OR LINE ACROSS THE UPPER ONE-HALF TO 3/4 OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY WAY TO SEE AT ALL IS TO DUCK YOUR HEAD UNDER IT, OR TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER AND HE HAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT TO DATE. *TR

THERE IS A DRONE OR BUFFERING SOUND WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55 MPH. REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD QUALITY. THIS IS ON A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS A TIRE OUT OF BALANCE, BUT IT STILL MAKES THE SAME SOUND. *TR
