SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING; I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN AND AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH AND SLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO TRY AND REGAIN SOME KIND OF BRAKING AND THE ABS SYSTEM TRIED TO KICK IN BUT WAS ONLY PARTIALLY AFFECTIVE AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP AFTER I CROSSED THE INTERSECTION AND RAN OVER A CURB.

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM A POLICE FLEET MANAGER THAT HAS AN ALL CHEVY TAHOE FLEET. IN OCTOBER 2019, I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR CHEVY RECALL N192268490 AND EVERY VEHICLE IN THE FLEET WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL WAS TO REPROGRAM THE BRAKES, SO BRAKING WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE EVEN IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS A FAULTY SECONDARY HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD TWO TAHOES ALREADY HAVE A VACUUM BOOSTER FAILURE, WHICH RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES DURING SLOW SPEED BRAKING, SUCH AS PARKING LOTS OR SLOW SPEED PATROL. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLES TO CHEVY FOR THE RECALL, AN OFFICER WAS MANEUVERING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. OBVIOUSLY, GM'S BAND-AID RECALL DOES NOT FIX OR EVEN OVERRIDE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS AGREED THE RECALL WAS A PLACEBO AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM BOOSTER. AS PER A RECENT LETTER FROM GM, THEY HAVE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VACUUM PUMP, FOR FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE LIABILITY PLACED ON MUNICIPALITIES, WHO HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO USE THEIR FLEET VEHICLES WITH KNOWN BRAKING ISSUES, IS AN UNFAIR BURDEN AND RISK. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE VACUUM BOOSTERS! *JS

THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD MOISTURE AND THE LEFT TURN FRONT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING CAUSING AN ERROR CODE. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL SO I HAD A BODY SHOP REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AND THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE NEW LEFT HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY DASH HAS BEGUN TO CRACK SUBSTANTIALLY. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. ESSENTIALLY, OVER TIME, IT HAS GONE FROM A SMALL HAIRLINE CRACK TO CRACKS AND DAMAGE EVERYWHERE. AGAIN, I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS AT ALL. THIS ISSUE IS REPORTED AMONG MANY GM VEHICLE OWNERS, AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. I REFUSE TO PAY UPWARDS OF $1000 FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2015 TAHOE BEGAN HESITATING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL LEADING ME TO BELIEVE I HAD PURCHASED SOME BAD GASOLINE. THIS CONTINUED FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED BY AN AUTOMOTIVE PLACE AND AS I WAS DRIVING A WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. THEY HOOKED IT TO COMPUTER AND REFERRED ME TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST LOCATED THREE MILES AWAY. THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON THE WAY TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. MY 2015 TAHOE ONLY HAD 107,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN ABOUT FOUR OTHER TAHOES OF THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $3300.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK HAD A WARNING LIGHT BEEN ACTIVATED TWO WEEKS BEFORE I MAY COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP EARLIER AND HAD IT REPAIRED INSTEAD OF REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO ME WAY TOO SOON TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN AN AUTOMOBILE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN TURNING ON THE BRIGHTS ON MY 2015 CHEVYTAHOE THE DASH SCREEN WILL FLASH ON AND OFF, AS WELL AS SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN ON. IN ADDITION, THE STABILITRAK WILL FLASH AN ERROR MESSAGE. IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH WHILE DRIVING. AT NIGHT THIS IS VERY SCARY AND HARMFUL. THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES NEED TO BE CORRECTED!

SUSPENSION
IN MAY 2018, OUR UPPER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLIES WERE LOOSE AND MAKING NOISES WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO LES SCHWAB AND THEY FOUND FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE LOOSE AS WELL BEYOND WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED. THEY REQUIRED USE OF OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE DEFECTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
HELLO MY TAHOE WAS IN A CHEVROLET DEALER ON OCTOBER 25 BECAUSE OF A BRAKE RECALL, THE TRUCK WAS 'FIXED' THAT SAME DAY. THE ONLY THING IS THAT MY TRUCK WON'T START ANYMORE SINCE THEN. I HAD MY TRUCK PARKED IN A GARAGE SINCE THE DAY WE GOT HOME FROM THE DEALER AND TODAY 11/13/19 WHEN I GET TO TURN IT ON IT JUST WON'T START. ALSO MY HUSBAND HAD A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR BEFORE WE KNEW THE TRUCK WAS ON RECALL. HE WAS IN A CITY STREET AND HE TRIED TO BRAKE BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIS WAS MAKING A STOP THE BRAKES JUST DIDN'T WORK, HE TRIED TO AVOID THE CAR BY TURNING TO HIS LEFT BUT THE FRONT SIDE OUR TRUCK HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION OF THE INSURANCE WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. THANK YOU HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD A SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT THAT CAME ON MY 2015 TAHOE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO VOSS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN CENTERVILLE OHIO, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FAILING AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN (TSB 14858) IN 2015 FOR SELECT 2015 TAHOES. THE TAHOE'S AFFECTED INCLUDED VEHICLES WITH AN 8 CYLINDER ENGINE (RPO L83 OR L86). THIS DESCRIBES MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL, SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE TSB RECALL. I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY ALSO SAID MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEY WERE NOT VERY CLEAR AS TO WHICH VINS THEY DECIDED TO INCLUDE WHEN ALL OF THE TAHOE'S WERE MADE ON THE SAME PRODUCTION LINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY ALL OF THE VINS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THE HOSES. GM CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID A PORTION OF THE EXPENSES, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO GM.
