2015 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE, EVERY SO OFTEN I AM UNABLE TO BREAK AND IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEP ON THE BREAKS. I HAVE TAKE I TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1100 TO GET IT FIXED!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED THAT THERE WAS A GPS MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE FAILURE THAT EXPIRED IN 2017, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE BULLETIN INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS REPAIRING THE GPS AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. WESELOH CHEVROLET (5335 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 208-1943) WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. AS A RESULT, IT HAS TAKEN ALL OF MY PHYSICAL EFFORT TO PRESS THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. FORTUNATELY, THESE INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT SLOWER SPEEDS (DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AT STOP LIGHTS). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXTREMELY INTERMITTENT AND I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON DEMAND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE SYSTEM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE AND STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. ONCE THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. DAVIS CHEVROLET (2277 S LOOP W, HOUSTON, TX 77054) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, THE DOME LIGHT FLASHES WHEN APPLYING BRAKE OR TURNING ON LEFT TURN SIGNAL.

AND 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND SUBURBAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A BASE RADIO AND AN INTERNAL AMPLIFIER. THE RADIOS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND AS A RESULT, THERE WOULD BE NO AUDIBLE CHIME TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER IF THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OR NO AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATING THE SEAT BELTS WERE NOT BUCKLED. AS SUCH, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBERS 114, "THEFT PROTECTION AND ROLLAWAY PREVENTION," AND 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."

WHILE DRIVING 10MPH OR LESS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP THE BRAKES ARE VERY ARE AND STUFF WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO STOP NOR WHILE REVERSING! I'VE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE WALKING AND SOMEONE CAR! I RAN INTO OUR INDUSTRIAL FAN IN OUR GARAGE BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP. WE ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES TWICE WHILE MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THERE BECYWE COULDN'T BREAK. I'VE CALLED DEALERSHIPS AND GM BOUT PROBLEMS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BUT IT'S NOT RECALL AND THAT CAN NOT REIMBURSE ME ESPECIALLY IF I KET A THIRD PARTY FIX IT. I'M UNEMPLOYED AND PAY A NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW! ALSO THE REAR CAMERA NEVER WORK IT BARELY WORK IT'S A VERY SMALL ONE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WILL INSTALL THE REGULAR ONE IN THAT EVERY TAHOE HAS BECAUSE MINE HAS A DEFECT AND IT'S NOT THE TOUCHSCREEN THAT ALL TABLES HAVE AND NO PARTS FOR THIS ONE BUT GM WOULDN'T AGREE WITH IT THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING TO THE BACK UP CAMERA AND IT KEEP GOING IN AND OUT AND HAS TO HAVE UPDATED MY LINK RADIO. THAT'S DANGEROUS. AS WELL AS THE BRAKE CABLE KEEP SLIPPING AND CAUSING MAJOR SQEAKING WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS SPEED BUMPS AND ETC. AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS STILL NOT FIXED I'VE TAKING IT SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE MAJOR SHAKE AND VIBRATION FROM IT WHILE AT LIGHTS OR STILL AND THEY'VE CHANGED THEM OUT SHAVED THEM DOWN STILL NO HELP SO THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON GM TO COME OUT WITH A PART TO FIX IT. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED NOW THIS ALL NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED I

LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING. ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS WITH THE ELECTRONIC START BUTTON. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR ON A PARKING LOT WHEN BACKING INTO A SPACE WITH A CAR IN THE SPOT BEHIND ME. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS APPROX. A YEAR AGO, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TEMP. FLUKE OF SOME KIND, BUT IT HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE MALL ON 2/16/19, THAT WAS THE FINAL STRAW.... BETTER REPORT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.

VACUUM PUMP: BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO BRAKE WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT IS VERY SPORADIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE TO THE BRAKES TO TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2016 AND EXPERIENCED THIS A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY TAHOE IN EARLY 2017. THE DEALEARSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS AT THE TIME I CALLED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TAHOE, BUT WITH CAUTION AT SLOWER SPEEDS SINCE I DID NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I ULTIMATELY DECIDED TO BRING MY TAHOE IN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND BEGAN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME STIFF BRAKE ISSUE AT THE CAR WASH RECENTLY ON 02/16/19 AND WHEN PARALLEL PARKING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS IN BOTH CASES. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ON 02/18/19 FOR AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RECALL (UNREALTED TO THIS ISSUE) AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO THEM. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS I AM UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY APPLYING THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST GETS HARD AND DOESNT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A BAD MECHANICAL BRAKE VACUUM PUMP THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SAFTEY CONCERN AS I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE THAT WAS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET, BECAUSE I COULDNT STOP THE TRUCK. GM NEEDS TO ACCEPT ACCOUTABILITY AND RECALL THIS FAULTY PART

WHEN BRAKES ARE PRESSED OR TURN SIGNAL USED THE MIDDLE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 ON OUR WAY HOME FROM NC. WE HAD JUST OPENED THE SUN ROOF IN TILT MODE AND A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT LIKE NOISE. WE REALIZED THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. GLASS FELL ALL IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE CARS TRAVELING ALL AROUND US, BUT WE NEVER SAW ANY DEBRI FLYING OUR WAY SO IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THIS HAPPENED.

INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS FLASH WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES, AND WHEN ACTIVATING LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HAZARD DURING DARKNESS, NUISANCE DURING DAYLIGHT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A BOOMING SOUND SUDDENLY OCCURRED DUE TO THE SUN ROOF EXPLODING. SHARDS OF GLASS FELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CASEY CHEVROLET (11700 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TAHOE WOULD NOT STOP.. EVERYTIME PUT IN REVERSE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AN WILL NOT STOP. HAD IT CHECK OUT AN WAS TOLD IT WAS VACUUM PUMP. FORWARD AN BACK... WAS TOLD ALSO THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL HAS DONE SAME...JUST GOT IT IN AUGUST.. I HAVE PUT 4000 ON IT..

AT LOW SPEEDS MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GET EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN CAUSING THE CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO STOP. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON IT SEEMED FINE. A FEW WEEKS WENT BY WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN IT RETURNED WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. ANOTHER 3 DAYS PASSES AND THEN BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND CAN BARELY STOP THE CAR CAUSING A CLOSE COLLISION. THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH TO MAKE THE CAR STOP. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME CAREFULLY DUE TO NEEDING TO STEP ON THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD. REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND STILL NOT WORKING. REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AND LINE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS AS THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND ALMOST HIT THE WALL. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD TOWING AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP SIGN.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AROUND TURNS WE EXPERIENCE A LOSS OS POWER STEERING AND TOTAL VEHICLE POWER. THIS IS A CURRENT RECALL WHICH THE LOCAL DEALER IS HAS CHECKED AND SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM

I HAVE 77K MILES IN MY CHEVY TAHOE. RECENTLY, MY BRAKES FAILED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME IT COULD OF BEEN SERIOUS RESULTING IN MAJOR INJURIES. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD APPROX 20 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL GM DEALER I WAS ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND GET IT TOWED. I'VE RESEARCHED THAT MANY OF THIS YEAR AND MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH THE BRAKES. CALLING IT THE FAULTY VACUUM PUMPS. WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 I FELT VIBRATION IN MY BRAKES AND THE TECH RECOMMENDED TO REOLACE MY FRONT BRAKES WHICH I DID. MY VEHICLE IS NOW GETTING REPAIRED BUT IN THE MEANTIME THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THE MODELS OUT ON THE SAME ROADS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DRIVE ON, TOTALLY UNSAFE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL OF US.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 5 MPH) THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL WITH BRAKE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. EVENTUALLY STOPS BUT THIS HAPPENS IN DRIVE AND REVERSE...SCARY WHEN PARKING AND ANOTHER CAR OR OTHER OBJECT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. NO NOISE OR DASH DISPLAY INDICATOR.

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH I03 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. SYSTEM HAS GONE BLANK TWICE. WITHOUT SYSTEM, SAFETY HAZARD WARNINGS ARE INOPERABLE. THERE IS A RECALL BULLETIN BUT DEALER IS REFUSING TO ASSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS, THE VEHICLE REQUIRED EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 10207 PHILADELPHIA RD, WHITE MARSH, MD 21162, (410) 931-8600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SEAT MOVES WHEN TURNING CORNERS 90 DEGREES. SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS 'FIXED', 30 DAYS LATER DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOVES AGAIN!

THE VEHICLE IS VERY BOUNCY AND HARD TO STEER. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY ADVISED IT NEEDED NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ, SURBURBAN LTZ, CADILLAC ESCALADE AND GMC DENALI THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FAILING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF.

Z95 MAGNETIC SUSPENSION STRUT FAILED AND LEAKING, MAKING THE RIDE VERY BOUNCY AND UNCRONTROLLABLE. THIS FAILED AT ABOUT 65K MILES.

SINCE MAY THE BRAKES HAVE NOT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND TO STOP THE CAR I HAD TO PRESS DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. EARLY ON I HAD THE FLUID LEVELS AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE SO I WAS NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I SAW A BULLETIN FROM YOUR OFFICE. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS LOW OUTPUT FROM THE VACUUM PUMP. IT COST NEARLY $700 TO REPLACE AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE PUT ON RECALL AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE BRAKES FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. I ALMOST HAD A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE PULLED FROM THE WATER WHEN LAUNCHING MY BOAT.

THE MAGNETIC RIDE STRUTS ON MY TAHOE LTD ARE FAILING. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF FAILURES BEGINNING IN THE 30,000 MILES. THEY ALSO APPEAR TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE STRUT ON A CHEVROLET. SAME STRUT AS A CADILLAC ESCALADE OR A GMC YUKON DENALI. WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. ALSO FOUND ON HIGHER END GMC AND CHEVROLET PICKUPS.

THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SO I WANTED TO DOCUMENT ONE MORE CASE TO PUSH GM FOR A RECALL. MY FAMILY ALMOST HAD A BAD CRASH THE OTHER DAY DUE TO THIS AND NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS IS NOT ACTIVATING TO CAUSE THIS, IT IS MORE A LACK OF BOOST IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WE ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON OUR TRUCK.

FAILURE IN BRAKE VACUUM PUMP CAUSED MY BRAKES TO IMPROPERLY WORK THIS ME REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR. BRAKE FELT LIKE A ROCK AND PUSHED BACK AGAINST MY FOOT. I WAS IN MOTION AT ROUGHLY 15MPH AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO ROUGHLY 8MPH AT A DISTANCE OF ROUGHLY 10 YARDS. THIS WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. PROBLEM HAD BEEN INTERMITTENT AT VERY LOW PARKING LOT SPEEDS.

AS I WAS BACKING DOWN A HILL MY BREAKS WOULD BARELY FUNCTION. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP AND TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD MY VACUUM PUMP NEEDED REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER CONSUMERS SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY ISSUE WAS DOCUMENTED AS WELL.

I JUST HAD THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP REPLACED ( $750.00 ) NOW I SEE THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM . BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN AT TIMES .

BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO APPLY AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE PULLING IN A PARKING SPACE THEN REVERSING TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WOULDN'T ENGAGE AND I HAD TO PRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS FIRST OCCURANCE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON NOVEMBER 11, 2018 IN ORLANDO, FL. AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE ISSUE BUT AFTER I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, IT APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. I CONTINUED MY EVENING AND DROVE SEVERAL PLACES AND EVENTUALLY DROVE BACK HOME TO TAMPA, FL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. UPON REACHING MY DESTINATION AND ATTEMPTING TO PARALLEL PARK, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. I TURNED OF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. I SUSPECTED AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DIMMITT CHEVROLET IN CLEARWATER, FL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. DIMMITT "VERIFIED CONCERN. PERFORMED DIAG. FOUND ENGINE VACUUM PUMP IS WEAK AND NOT PULLING ENOUGH VACUUM AT TIMES." DIMMITT "REMOVED AND REPLACED VACUUM PUMP."

2015 TAHOE WAS BEING BACKING UP INTO PARKING SPACE AND LOST ALL CAPABILITY TO BRAKE. VEHICLE WITH 64,500 MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY) AND NO OTHER PREVIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUE. INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY BUT VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER RESEARCHING PROBLEM AND IDENTIFYING OTHER LATE MODEL CHEVROLET TRUCKS OWNERS WITH SIMILAR BRAKING PROBLEMS. OWNER DESCRIBED PROBLEM AND INFORMED DEALER OF CHEVROLET TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM PUMP, AND BRAKE VACUUM SENSOR. NO RECURRENCE SINCE REPAIR AND VEHICLE NOW OPERATING AS DESIGNED WITH 66,700 MILES.

TAMARA RECALL. VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, UNDER 5MPH, A HEAVY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO BRAKE PADS AND VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE BRAKE POWER WAS RESTORED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO BILL CRAMER CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (850-250-1403, LOCATED AT 2251 W 23RD ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32405) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD TO PRESS WHEN RPMS ARE LOW. UNABLE TO STOP QUICKLY.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND GOING IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS AND DELAYS THE BRAKING. I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERS 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT TIME THEY MADE SOME REPAIR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS. GOING IN REVERSE ON A SLOPE (OUT OF A DRIVEWAY) IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING. HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE APPROX 95,000 ON MY VEHICLE.

I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY BREAKS AND CHEVY SAID IT WAS MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THEY REPLACED IT AT MY COST. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT ONLY COST ME A $150 DEDUCTIBLE. I JUST READ ABOUT THIS IN THE NEWS AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT. BUT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, I CONSTANTLY FELT THAT MY BREAKS WERE GONE AND ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL DIFFERENT CARS

MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE MAKES A HIGH PITCHED NOISE WHEN IT IS IN 4AUTO AND 4 HIGH. GM TOLD ME THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRANFER CASE THATS INSTALLED IN MY SUV. NOT ALL TRANSFERENCE MAKE THIS NOISE, THE TAHOE LOANER CAR DOES NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. MY BOTHERS 2015 SILVERADO MADE THE SAME NOISE IN 4 AUTO AND HIGH

VEHICLE BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PRESS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE AND SOMETIMES WHEN MOVING SLOWLY IN PARKING LOTS. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY AS OF NOVEMBER 25, 2018

BRAKE BOOSTER QUIT WORKING. ESPECIALLY ON INCLINES. WIFE COULD NOT STOP VECHICLE WITH CHILDREN INSIDE. VERY SCARY. DEALER CHARGED 600.00 TO FIX AND REQUIRED NEW SURGE TIME BELT AS WELL.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING CAUSING MY WIFE TO NEARLY COLLIDE WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE ROADWAY AND GO INTO THE MEDIAN UNTIL VEHICLE COULD BE STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT SEVERELY CUT INTO THE CONTACT'S BODY. THE SEAT BELT BECAME SIGNIFICANTLY WORN TO THE POINT OF A POTENTIAL FRACTURE WITH THE SEAT BELT WEBBING. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRIMMING ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE'S EXTERIOR. THE TRIMMING CREATED A WHISTLING NOISE AND BLEW IN THE WIND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND HAD TO HOLD THE EXTERIOR TRIMMING TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT FROM DETACHING FROM THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND STRIKING OTHER MOTORISTS. JUPITER CHEVROLET (11611 I-635, GARLAND, TEXAS 75041, (972) 271-9900) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT OR THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE TRIMMING FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 8-484-580-7149. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS PARKED ON MODERATELY SLOPED DRIVEWAY. ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS IN "PARK" POSITION. VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ROLLED BACK SEVERAL FEET, AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLE ALSO OWNED BY ME. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NOT INFLUENCED BY DRIVER. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT IS MY BELIEF THE APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION/SOFTWARE. I DID FIND WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL #14192 FOR THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. RIDES LIKE CRAP EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED THE $1800 FRONT AND REAR STRUTS. ITS VERY ROUGH AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. ITS VERY BOUNCY AND DANGEROUS. RIDICULOUS THAT A $65,000 LUXURY VEHICLE HAS SUCH A BAD DESIGN ON THE SUSPENSION!

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED SUDDENLY.

INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS OR THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY STARTLING AND DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WOULD ALSO FLICKER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHITESIDE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 50714 NATIONAL RD E, ST CLAIRSVILLE, OH 43950, (740) 695-0211) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4804205228. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TT*JB

STEERING ISSUE - POPPING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING. DEALER FIXED, WITHIN 2 MONTHS, THE POPPING IS BACK AND GETTING WORSE.

DRIVERS SEAT MOVES UNDER YOU WHEN TURNING, STOPPING, AND ACCELERATING.

VEHICLE IS NOTICEABLY LOWER IN THE FRONT END, YOU CAN SEE THE ANGLE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE STANDING BESIDE IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP, GOING OVER AN UNEVEN PART OF THE ROAD, OVER EVEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE (SO BASICALLY JUST DRIVING IN GENERAL!) THE VEHICLE BOUNCES UP AND DOWN HARSHLY. THE VEHICLE WILL BOUNCE SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RIDES "NORMAL" AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD, AND I SAY "NORMAL" LOOSELY AS IT IT STILL NOT RIDING PROPERLY. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE BECOMES SO BOUNCY, THAT I FEEL THE VEHICLE COME OFF THE ROAD, AND HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE OTHER LANE BEFORE. GM IS GOING TO LOOK AT , BUT IF ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO FIX. THIS IS ALSO A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH A POWER-TRAIN, AND CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY CURRENTLY ACTIVE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE BAD MAGNETIC STRUTS ON SOMETHING I'VE OWNED 1 & 1/2 YEARS. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT GM HAS ZERO LOANER VEHICLES FOR ME TO DRIVE, SO THEY SUGGEST I PAY OUT OF POCKET AND USE ENTERPRISE. IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD, THAT I KNOW THE PARTS IN THE ROAD WHERE IT BOUNCES THE WORST, AND I HAVE TO COME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP BEFORE GOING OVER THAT PATCH, JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAYS, DIRT ROAD, BASICALLY ANY TYPE OF ROAD.
