SERVICE BRAKES
AT LOW SPEEDS, OR IDLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. LOSS OF POWER BOOST RESULTING IN EXTREME EFFORT TO ACTIVATE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAM TRAVELLING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. PROBLEM LASTED UNTIL TRAFFIC RETURNED TO NORMAL SPEED, WHEN BRAKING RETURNED TO NORMAL. I BELIEVE I HAVE THE SAME VACUUM PUMP PROBLEM BEING CITED BY OTHER OWNERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOST ALL BRAKE BOOST WHILE BACKING A BOAT DOWN A STEEP BOAT RAMP. WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT I'M SURE A SMALLER PERSON (LIKE MY WIFE) WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. I NOW UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON, KNOWN GM PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONDENSATION COLLECTING INSIDE OF BOTH HEADLIGHT COVERS. I HAVE PAID $200.00 FOR A TURN SIGNAL REPLACEMENT. NOW GETTING ANOTHER FAILURE WARNING ON SAME HEADLIGHT AND THE DLR IS OUT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD DEALER IT WOULD COST 2000.00 TO REPLACE BOTH GASKETS. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN STATING THE PROBLEM COULD BE CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE BEING EXPOSED TO RAIN?? OR CAR WASHING. I NOTICED CONDENSATION WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE

SUSPENSION
STRUT LEAKING (FRONT DRIVER/ PASSAGE SIDE) AND SHOCKS MALFUNCTIONED (REAR). DRIVING ON A FAIRLY SMOOTH HIGHWAY, DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY SUV WAS BOUNCING AND EXPERIENCING A ROUGH RIDE. PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT GAS STATION AND NOTICED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE SUV TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP (FIRESTONE). THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BOTH STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THE SHOCKS APPEARED TO BE EXTENDED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR TOWED ANYTHING (EXCEPT A BIKE RACK). TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP (THIS WAS SATURDAY). THE DEALERSHIP COMFIRMED BOTH FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND ESTIMATED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1700.00 PLUS A FRONT END ALIGNMENT (DIAGNOSTIC COSTED $138.00). THE ISSUE WITH THE REAR SHOCKS WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK ON MONDAY MORNING BUT I WAS IN ROUTE TO A YOUTH SOFTBALL GAME IN ANOTHER CITY. SO MY FAMILY AND I SUFFERED THE ROUGH RIDE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHICH DIAGNOSED THE REAR SHOCK ISSUE AS A MALFUNCTION AND BOTH SHOCKS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A COST OF $1700.00. NOW, THAT IS A TOTAL REPAIR EQUALED $3600.00. GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THE SUSPENSION ISSUE WITH THE TAHOE. IT IS A 2015 TAHOE LTZ. IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WOULD GO OUT ON A VEHICLE WITH THAN 62K MILES. GM LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER READING THE LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2015 TAHOES AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH INDIVIDUALS IN THIS AREA IN BUSINESS WITH GM, I FEEL EVEN MORE UNSAFE THAN I HAVE BEFORE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE LAWSUITS WITH THE 2015 TAHOE'S, THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO TOTAL RECALL WITH MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. SHOCKING. I DID SEE SEVERAL RECALLS OF GREAT CONCERN THAT I HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS IN MY GARAGE. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO PAY TO RENT A WORKING, SAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ONE I PAY $615 MONTHLY FOR IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND A LIABILITY. IN CONCLUSION, ARE THERE STEPS AN INDIVIDUAL IS ABLE TO TAKE TO RESOLVE SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO SEEK ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL AIDE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING?

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BRAKES RANDOMLY STARTED NOT WORKING. A LOT OF RESISTANCE, UNABLE TO STOP, UNABLE TO PUSH BRAKE TO FLOOR. FINALLY GOT SOMEWHERE AND PARKED AFTER AVOIDING THREE ACCIDENTS, VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 TAHOE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN A RECALL????

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEAVY MOISTURE IS ACCUMULATING IN THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT WITH NO CRACKS IN THE LIGHT. IT IS CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION WITH A WARNING ON OUR INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS INOPERATIVE. CHEVROLET IS NOT ACCEPTING OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY DESIGN, OR PART, OR SYSTEM AND WANTS US TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUOTED $1200 IN REPAIR COSTS JUST TO REPLACE ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED ALSO WON'T COVER IT. I'M FINDING OUT THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. JUST OVER 50K MILES ON THE VEHICLE! THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUBERT VESTER CHEVROLET(3717 RALEIGH RD PKWY W., WILSON, NC) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY 2015 TAHOE LTZ IN AUG. 2018 WITH 59,582 MIKES ON IT. MY MILEAGE IS NOW AT 73,504 & HAS RECENTLY STARTED BOUNCING SO BAD WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY SMOOTH HIGHWAY. DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT BUT I SUSPECT IT'S A SUSPENSION PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE EVERY TIME I DRIVE SINCE I FIRST NOTICED IT IN MAY, 2019. I PAID A LOT FOR THIS CAR & EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN 4 OR 5 YEARS. I'VE JUST READ THAT THIS CHEVROLET VEHICLE HAS HAD 13 RECALLS WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE FOR GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES & REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION SINCE IT COULD BE HAZARDOUS.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING MY CAR TODAY AND HAD A HUGE ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND NOTICED SOMEONE WALKING BEHIND ME AND HIT THE BRAKES, IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE STUCK. AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEY FINALLY GAVE AND STOPPED, SO I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. THEN ON DRIVE BACK HOME, I GOT STUCK IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. TRAFFIC CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SO I HIT MY BRAKES AND SAME THING, THEY WERE STUCK (WOULD NOT MOVE). AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS OF PUSHING THEM AS HARD AS I COULD, THEY FINALLY GAVE AND JUST BARELY MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I FINALLY SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I WAS VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM! THIS IS A HUGE SECURITY RISK! I WAS ALMOST IN 2 SEPARATE ACCIDENTS TODAY BECAUSE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM! SHOULDN'T SOMEONE BE NOTIFYING TAHOE OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAVY MOISTURE IS ACCUMULATING IN THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT WITH NO CRACKS IN THE LIGHT. IT IS CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION WITH A WARNING ON CONTROL PANEL. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVING WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS WITH NO FRONT TURN SIGNAL AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY TO SOME OWNERS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. CHEVY WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF FAULTY DESIGN, PART, OR SYSTEM AND WANTS OWNER OF CAR TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR COSTS WHICH ARE VERY HIGH ON THESE FAULTY PARTS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIR EITHER WHY SHOULD THE OWNER WHO HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE INSTALLATION OF DEFECTIVE SYSTEM HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ? PLEASE HELP SAVE LIVES FROM POTENTIAL CRASHES.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT AT A SLOW SPEED (LEAS RHAN 5 MILES) PREPARING TO STOP FOR PEOPLE CROSSING. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND THE CAR KEPT ROLLING ALMOST HITTING A PERSON. I PULLED INTO A SPOT TOWARDS THE END OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO NOT WORK EVEN WHEN PRESSING WITH 2 FEET. PER CHEVY DEALARSHIP I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FIXED. MINIMAL EXPLANATION NEEDED WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN, SERVICE GUY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITHOUT ASKING ANY QUESTIONS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED FROM A MELTED CLUTCH. I TOOK MY TAHOE IN FOR A ALIGNMENT AND THE A/C WAS WORKING FINE 2 DAYS LATER I HAD TO TAKE THE TAHOE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ALIGNMENT FELT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND NOTICED THE A/C WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I TOOK THE TAHOE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THEY DIDN'T CAUSE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I PICKED UP THE TAHOE, AND THE A/C WAS WORKING WHEN I BROUGHT THE TAHOE INTO THE FIRST DEALER SHIP TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AGAIN. OUR TAHOE ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND THIS ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAVE READ ONLINE AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY A/C ISSUES WITH THESE MODEL YEAR TAHOE AND GM EVEN ISSUES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN ISSUES WITH A/C, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE AND GM HAS YET TO ADDRESS THEM
