THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OXIDIZING. IT IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH, PATCHY, AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. WE NOTICED IT DETERIORATING WHEN WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PAINT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AS I AM FINDING IN MY RESEARCH OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL. PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN BODY WORK HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND COLOR.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE CHEVY TAHOE 2007 LTZ MODEL I OWN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY THOUSANDS OF OWNERS TO HAVE A FACTORY BAD DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS MADE WITH A VERY CHEAP AND UNSAFE PLASTIC. THIS PLASTIC CRACKS DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES FROM HEAT AND COLD. THE PLASTIC ALSO AFTER SOME TIME WILL CRACK AND DETERIORATE AGAIN DUE TO UNSAFE AND POOR PLASTIC MATERIAL. THE REMEDY IS TO PURCHASE A NEW DASHBOARD PANEL AND PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL LABOR TO INSTALL. THIS PRODUCT COST SHOULD BE SHARD AT A BARE MINIMUM BY GM DUE TO GOOD FAITH PRACTICES. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CLAIM REVIEWED AND PASSED ON TO GM FOR THE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING THIS UNSAFE FACTORY PLASTIC DASHBOARD. THE AIRBAGS CAN CREATE AND CAUSE A HIGHLY UNSAFE DEPLOYMENT BY EXPLODING CHEAP AND SHARP SHARD OF PLASTIC INTO THE EYES AND FACE OF THE PASSENGER/DRIVER. GM IS CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO REPAIR OR PAY FOR THIS UNSAFE DASHBOARD THAT SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
DURING A LOW SPEED LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC, MY 2015 TAHOE HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER AND STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS AT A DISTANCE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO NOTICE MY TAHOE HAD DIED BLOCKING THEIR LANES, AND THEY CORRECTED THEIR PATH TO GO AROUND. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE LEAST IF ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD NOT NOTICED THAT OUR VEHICLE DIED. I PURCHASED THIS TAHOE USED 3 WEEKS AGO AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE. AFTER INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET I LOCATED POST SAYING THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED OVER 1 MILLION OTHER 2015 TAHOES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS VEHICLE ENDURED AND ACCIDENT IN 2017. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY AND OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES HAS RATED THIS VEHICLE AS HIGH RISK. THE SELLER, LAFONTAINE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP DIDN'T DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION AND IT WAS MISSING ON THE CARFAX. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. SWAY BARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN A WEEK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE REPAIRS; IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THEY RUN THOROUGH TEST PRIOR TO SELLING SAFE VEHICLES. THIS TYPE OF REPAIRED SERVICE WAS LIFE THREATENING. VIN# [XXX]. SALE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019. LAFONTAINE DEXTER 7120 DEXTER-ANN ARBOR RD. DEXTER, MICHIGAN 48130. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND BENEATH THE HOOD WHEN I TURNED CORNERS TO MY RIGHT AND LEFT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER FIVE DAYS FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T HAVE UNDER BODY PICTURES FOR THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC*TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE TAHOE CLOSE TO HOME I STARTED TO SMELL OF BURNING AND I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING UP FROM THE DASH. I PULLED OVER AND BY THEN THE WHOLE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD SEE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TRIED TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES (NOT RECOMMENDED) BUT THE FIRE JUST SPREAD UPWARDS INTO THE DASH AND WAS OBVIOUSLY OUT OF CONTROL. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911 AND WITHIN MINUTES THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE POLICE AND FIRE SERVICE ARRIVED AND EVENTUALLY THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED AFTER IT HAD BURNED THROUGH MOST OF THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON MY OWN AND I SUFFERED NO INJURIES EXCEPT A FEW MINOR BURNS TO MY HANDS. I AM GUESSING THE FIRE MAY HAVE STARTED WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR WIRING WHICH IS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY ISSUES STARTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN DROPPING MY CHILD OFF AT DAYCARE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I PULLED IN THE DAYCARE AND IT WAS EVIDENT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AT THAT POINT THE STABLITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE I TRIED TO MOVE IT AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT JERKED SO HARD I WAS SCARED THE ENGINE BLEW. I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED CHEVY MECHANIC, CYLINDER 6 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS, COIL PACKS ETC, TRYING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. HE FINALLY REPLACED ALL 16 LIFTERS, CAM, HEAD GASKETS AND OIL PUMP AS WELL. ONCE HE GOT IT TOGETHER, IT WAS STILL A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 6. HE TOOK IT APART TO LOOK AT THE PISTONS, THEY WERE FINE. THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HE PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING BRAND NEW ON IT. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THE LIFTER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BLATANTLY TOLD ME, I NEED A NEW ENGINE OR COULD PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. STILL NO RESOLVE AS OF JUNE 23, 2020! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT FAIR TO US THAT THEY DESIGNED THE ENGINE SO POORLY. *TR
