FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Starting on August 13, 2022, my 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe exhibited a harder than normal start condition prior to a drive of approximately 80 miles home from visiting a relative. The car drove normally on that trip. After that return home I parked the subject vehicle in the garage and emptied it of my belongings. I noticed a fairly strong gasoline smell and inquired with my wife if perhaps she had re-fueled our other vehicle and experienced any over fill. Shed said no, so I left the garage open to see if it would air out of the fuel smell. It did through the course of the afternoon so I closed the garage that evening. The next morning (August 14, 2022) we had an event to get to in the morning and were planning to take the subject vehicle. The vehicle again had a hard start issue and within 10 seconds of starting I could smell fuel while inside the vehicle with the windows up. I immediately stopped the ignition and looking under the subject vehicle. I saw gas flowing down the side of the fuel tank from above and dripping on the floor at a rapids rate of 2-3 drops per second. This continued for about 5-10 minutes gradually slowing down since the the ignition had been shut off and as the fuel pressure in the system was reduced. By the end there was a puddle of fuel about 1 ft in diameter on my garage floor under the vehicle. From that point and after any strong gasoline vapor smell had subsided, I decided the vehicle needed to be moved from the garage and parked on the street. I parked it on the street and decided I would take it to Marty Feldman Chevrolet immediately early in the morning of August 15, 2022, while roads were less busy. There was no warning light or indication prior to the leak. In some quick research, I found several concerns related to fuel line abrasion and fuel pump leaks/failures. Marty Feldman Chevrolet diagnosis/repair costs are documented in this complaint. Components are available for inspection.

STEERING
Six days ago my 2015 Chevy Tahoe had a sudden loss of power steering assist while driving down the road after having to come to a sudden stop. The sudden loss and stop required me to jar to the R side of the road. Later in the evening while driving home from work, suddenly my power steering began to work again - causing the steering wheel to have a lot of "play" in the turning of the wheel. This sudden loss and sudden return of power steering has increased since the first incident and happens more often than not. Every time the loss or return happen to the steering, I feel like I lose control of the vehicle to an extent depending on the speed of the vehicle. I am a single mom with two little children who are constantly with me in our vehicle which concerns me for all of our safety. I have done my due diligence on contacting the local Chevy dealership, GM and even the better business bureau due to not being able to get to the bottom of this and continuously being told there's no recall connected to my VIN. There was a recall previously for the Power Steering Assist Motor Kit in 2015 Chevy Tahoes. According to GM which I contacted today, my vehicle was a part of this recall and the assist motor kid was "fixed" which is why there are no current recalls on my VIN. We were told there was a 12 thousand mile warranty that was placed on this new Assist motor kit however, the same issue is now happening again. In the initial recall, chevy was told that dealers are to replace power steering assist motor kit due to increased risk of crash. Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to the recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle or ownership from this time forward. The fact that I am having the same issue with the assist motor after its already been "replaced" is quite concerning for me, my children and quite frankly other bystanders or other drivers with the increased risk of an MVA. I had an auto body shop diagnose the issue with the same resu

SERVICE BRAKES
When the vehicle idles for long periods of time in Park or Drive (standing traffic or sub-5mph traffic) the brakes provide no stopping power. Upong shifting into N, and speeding up idle over 2000 rpm for at least 20 seconds, the "braking/stopping power" goes back to normal. Not being a mechanic, but car familiar, it's as if the solenoid at long idles does not provide adequate assist power to effectively stop the vehicle. This has caused problems in long traffic lines on 95 south of DC heading to Richmond when traffic begins moving and suddenly slows there is no braking power unless shifting into idle and rev. It also commonly occurs in snowy traffic when things are moving slow. It also occurs in summer idle situations in parking lots if the car is left running and then attempting to pull away there is no braking power. Frontal collisions are a risk, and generally low speed runs ins. Ive had this checked by Chevy dealer/service shops twice and they claim it is not reproducable. There are no warning lights and all recalls have been serviced. This issue occurs at numerous times since owning the vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel supply line coming out of gas tank is leaking. Looked up on internet and found this to be a very common occurrence, with several pictures of Tahoe's sitting on the side of the road on fire. This is such a common issue on 2015 models that GM should recall and fix. We can't wait for a recall, I know that takes a lot of time. The Tahoe is my wife's ability to get to work and home, as she is the breadwinner in our family, I am on SSDI for total disability. We need someone or some organization to step up and assist us in getting this problem fixed and since it is a design flaw resulting in a serious safety issue, GM should be held responsible for the repair. Local mechanic found the problem after wife smelled strong odor of gasoline in garage where vehicle is parked, which happens to be directly below our bedroom, thus if a fire started in garage, with my health and mobility problems, we might not be able to escape. This is a serious problem, common with this model and I'm sure you've heard about it several times, please help us.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Have to researching online it is a very very common issue with the 2015 Tahoes and up. The radio/display screen constantly starts going haywire and scanning through stations changing stations as well as the screen on my gauge cluster which is going to end up causing an accident constantly trying to stop it from scanning and changing stations. It's like the whole screen has a mind of its own

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Brake Petal is hard and you have to punch very hard to stop at slow speed as in a parking lot or traffic. It will scare you because the vehicle doesn’t want to stop when moving at slow speed. Unsure if it does it in reverse or not.

The service break trailer system warning keeps going off when I’m not towing anything. It’s to the point that in a 10 Minute drive it goes off about 10 times. I’ve been to numerous machanics and none of them are able to determine what is causing this issue

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I purchased this vehicle a few weeks ago. I was told by the Salesman that everything worked in the car. I test drove it and the lane departure warning was working so I assumed the forward collision would be working. In real life driving, I have nearly run in to numerous cars as the forward collision does not work. In one instance, someone slammed on their breaks, my collision didn't alert me, thankfully I saw it, but I had to swerve off the road to keep from hitting them. In addition, the cooling seats work, but the heated seats do not work on either side of the front seats. Lastly, I have discovered that my Navigation system does not work. I can't get it to change to my current location and the GPS is X'd out. This is what I have so far, but sadly, I feel more things are going to happen with this vehicle. I am working with the dealership on the forward collision and heated seats, but don't know if I will get anywhere with them. They have said they will not fix the Navigation system, which is affected by the CAL (calibration) error message on my screen.

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving down the road at random occasions the “service trailer brake system” warning will alert us by dinging multiple time. This continues to happen more and more frequently. It will ding and alert us over and over again. The longest it has occurred was for about an hour straight. I took a couple videos/videos of this happening. After doing some research online every article I found stated that it is a wiring harness issue. It was recommended that we report this to NHTSA. I should add that we are not and have not every pulled a trailer.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Technical Service Bulletin 17-NA-304 1..6 should be a recall if it involves a fuel leak. My vehicle has experienced this issue, and fuel is actively leaking (right next to the exhaust). With 2 small kids in the car everyday, and Chevy (and the NHTSA) knowing this since September, 2017, how is this not something that a consumer is notified about, and fixed by the manufacturer immediately? I would appreciate if someone could contact me to talk me through this not being a recall.
