POWER TRAIN
I FIRST NOTICED THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO GO A COUPLE TIMES AFTER BEING AT A RED LIGHT. ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN WOULD ABRUPTLY SHIFT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. HAVE JUST OVER 83,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS VERY GOOD AT GETTING IT MAINTENANCED. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED 3 DAYS BEFORE AND AT THAT TIME I MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FOR MUCH LONGER TO CHECK IT OUT AND I COULD NOT WAIT. 3 DAYS LATER WHILE IN DRIVE THE RPMS WERE REVING UP WHILE IN MOTION ON THE STREET BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN I FEEL.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM THE FREEWAY FEEDER LIGHT THAT WAS ALREADY GREEN UPON APPROACH. ASSK I PASSED THE INTERSECTION, I COLIDED FROM ON DIRECTLY AT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, IMPACTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF A SMALLER VW ATALS. MY VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL STOPPING AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AT THE MEDIAN. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE OTHER CAR INVOLVED WE HIT AT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND ALL HIS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HIT MY CHIN, HEAD, AND ARMS AND FEEL NASEAU SINCE THE ACCIDENT. AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED TO PREVENT MY HEAD FROM HITTING VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR OR WORSE BRAIN SHAKING. MY CAR SUSTAINED FRAME DAMAGE AND EXTENSIVE FRONT DAMAGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FIRST WAS THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER THAT WENT OUT AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY HALF FOR A NEW ONE ($800). CONTACTED GM AND THEY PAID ME BACK. NEXT WAS THE BLACK COLORING ON ALL THE BUTTON RUBBING OFF. WAS TOLD TO BUY A STICKER KIT. THEN WAS THE TACK JUMPING ON IT'S OWN. THEN WAS THE ENTIRE DASH CRACKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FRONT. WAS TOLD IT'S COSMETIC. I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE AIRBAG GOES OFF AND I HAVE PLASTIC PIECES FLY AT US. FINALLY WAS THE 6L80 TRANSMISSION THAT WENT OUT. TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. I NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ANOTHER $3,500. THIS THING IS A LEMON AND I CAN GET ANY HELP AND GM WON'T ISSUE RECALLS. IT'S DISGUSTING TO SEE THESE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES GETTING BAILED OUT AND THE CONSUMERS ARE THE ONES THAT SUFFER FOR THEM USING CHEAP PARTS.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK. WORRIED ABOUT INTEGRITY OF DASH IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO PLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM JUST RECALLED PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO 'SHRAPNEL' WHICH COULD ALSO BE PART OF THE DASH EXPLODING. FURTHERMORE, ONLY OPTION IS TO ADD A 'GLUE ON' COVER TO BUILD QUALITY TO OEM, BUT HAS POSSIBILITY TO COVER PASSENGER AIR BAG OR MAKE RECALL OF AIRBAG NOT POSSIBLE (OR OTHER REPAIRS POSSIBLE). GM SHOULD OFFER DASH REPLACEMENT AS A RECALL ALONG WITH PASSENGER AIRBAG.

SERVICE BRAKES
EVEN WITH THE RECALL DONE THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SECOND BRAKE APPLICATION IF YOU ARE AT SLOW SPEEDS. IF YOU BRAKE AT SLOW SPEEDS RELEASE THE PEDAL AND BRAKE AGAIN YOU VIRTUALLY LOSE ALL BRAKE POWER.

SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ WHICH I BOUGHT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I NOTICED THAT IT HANDLES BUMPS POORLY AND DOES A LOT OF BOUNCING. WHEN I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED HOW POORLY IT DRIVES AND SAID THE STRUTS WOULD NEED REPLACING ON THE FRONT FOR SURE AND EVENTUALLY ON THE BACK AS WELL. I RECEIVED MY FIRST QUOTE AT $2200 JUST FOR THE FRONT WHICH IS INSANE SO I DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND QUICKLY FOUND IT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH FINDING OUT THIS INFORMATION FOR SPENDING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I DID ON THIS LUXURY VEHICLE. I'VE PRICE SHOPPED AROUND AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING ANY CHEAPER. I AM ALSO WORRIED IF I LET IT GO FOR TOO LONG WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN AND WILL IT LESSEN THE LIFE OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE BRAND NEW TIRES I JUST PUT ON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND CHEVROLET/GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE IS MISFIRING AND STALLING DUE TO A FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THE BULLETIN N182198000. THIS BULLETIN SHOULD BE VALID FOR ANY STATE. GM IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH FUEL INJECTORS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE MISFIRED WHICH FELT LIKE A JUMP AND I CAUSE ME TO HIT THE BRAKE THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE AND IT MISFIRED AGAIN WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN FASTER AND ALMOST CAUSE A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 15 MPH), AND WHILE IN REVERSE GEAR, MY 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS FAILS TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO APPEARS TO LOSE POWER ASSIST AND WILL NOT DEPRESS EVEN UNDER EXTREME FOOT PRESSURE APPLICATIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE CONTINUING TO ROLL UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION ALSO OCCURS WHEN IN DRIVE (ALBEIT NOT AS FREQUENTLY AS WHILE IN REVERSE) AND ALSO AT SLOW SPEED. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO ATLANTIC CHEVROLET (NY) FOR A RECALL BUT THE CONDITION WAS NOT RECTIFIED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY BUT IS EXTREMELY PRECARIOUS IN PROXIMITY TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. RECALL # N192268490 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645 AND 20V603

POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND 70K MILES STARTED HAVING ISSUES. WENT TO PULL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY ROLLED FWD AND IT WOULD NOT GO ALMOST LIKE IT WAS KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR. THEN AT 100300 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. PAID 47K FOR A TAHOE AND NOW HAVING TO SPEND $4200 TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. I'M LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T GET HIT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT. GM YOU NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!! THERE IS TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR YOU NOT TO LOOK INTO IT.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE AN 02 TAHOE Z71 THAT RECENTLY I'VE BEEN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO STOP LIKE THE ABS IS TRYING TO KICK IN RANDOMLY BETWEEN ABOUT 5 TO 15 MPH WHEN SLOWING FOR RED-LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS THERE'S TIMES I HAVE TO LET OFF AND REAPPLY BRAKE 2 TO 3 TIMES AT LEAST BEFORE IT WILL ACTUALLY STOP WITHOUT THE ABS KICKING IN. I READ ABOUT SOME RECALLS ON THIS ON 02 TAHOES BUT MY VIN SAID I HAD 0 UNFIXED RECALLS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS CAUSING RATTLING AND PLASTIC BITS BREAKING OFF AND FALLING INTO THE DASH AREA. I'M CONCERNED THIS POORLY STRUCTURED DASH WILL LOSE INTEGRITY ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAMAGE OR POTENTIALLY CAUSE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN OTHER AREAS UNDERNEATH THE DASH. THIS POOR DASH DESIGN IS WELL KNOWN IN THE TAHOE COMMUNITY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS SOMETIMES AND COMPLETELY DOESN'T WORK OTHER TIMES. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY OF WHEN IT WILL WORK OR NOT WORK. WHEN I HIT THE INITIAL START UP BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE LIGHT ON THE WHEEL WILL LIGHT UP. HOWEVER, IF I HIT THE 'SET' BUTTON ON THE WHEEL, THE ACTUAL CRUISE CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES ACTIVATE AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL COME ON CONFIRMING IT IS SET AND WORKING. BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT THE 'SET' BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NEVER ACTIVATES. THIS IS AT ANY SPEED.
