EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Dome lights keep flickering. Not specific to any light. All of them flash sporadically. Looks like a camera flash at night. It is beyond distracting at night and the dealership could not find what is causing it to happen. It is making driving at night dangerous because it is distracting because it can sometimes flash non stop like a strobe light.

SERVICE BRAKES
Brake assist problems. When stopping/slow braking while being in heavy traffic, or drive thru, the brakes will vibrate and will not come to a complete stop without it rolling, almost into another vehicle. The brake petal will be stiff and the vehicle will continue to roll. This happens a lot, but seems to only happen during stop/start, bumper to bumper situations.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
There is a trailer brake warning that comes up, sometimes 10 times in a single mile of driving on the freeway. It beeps very loud and I cannot hear anything else. It is distracting to drive and I am unable to shut it off, I can only dismiss. I am now not sure if I can tow with my Tahoe because I fear there is something wrong with the trailer brake system. It is loud enough that if something else was wrong, I may not be able to hear it happening with the warning sound going off so often. I don't know exactly what is going on but my best guess is that it is either with the wiring, as this happens when I am not towing, or there is a sensor of some sort that is faulty. In any case, I don't think it is safe to tow because of potential hazards of the trailer brakes not working, or even worse, the trailer brakes locking up and me causing an accident.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
Vehicle has shut down twice while turning. When action happens the stability controls are turned off, parking assistance is turned off. All lights on dash flash. With this vehicle having electronic steering, I have no control of this vehicle when it shuts down while driving. Dealer could not reproduce actions to diagnose, but informed me to return if it was to happen again.

SERVICE BRAKES
While pulling forward in a drive thru, slowing to stop, the brake pedal started vibrating and became very hard to press. Came within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. I drove to an empty parking area afterwards and was able to reproduce the problem several times. This only seems to happen at low speeds. The brake assist warning light comes on each time this occurs. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by manufacturer or mechanic. I'm filing this complaint because this is a major safety issue. This is not an isolated problem to my vehicle as I have seen that many others have filed the same complaint with the 2015 Tahoe.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Trailer brake system warning light keeps coming on, over 64 times in less then a 2 hour period, and I"m not even towing or using the trailer brake. It's very annoying, loud and can cause a crash as you immediately look down to see why the beeps are coming for

SERVICE BRAKES
At low speeds, mainly backing up, the brake pedal goes soft and the vehicle will not stop. As you push harder, the pedal becomes stiff and you feel the ABS activate. I have read online that this is a common problem with the 2015-2016 GM models. Apparently the vacuum pump is the root cause however many have stated if oil is found, the Vacuum Line between the booster and the pump 3. Brake Booster 4. Master Cylinder 5. Vacuum Pump Belt should be changed as well.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Truck doesn't want to brake have to put both feet on pedal. Almost hit a car in the drop off line this morning at school. When braking it skips a beat and I have to press hard to try to stop it. It scared me because there's no warning lights, it just happened out of nowhere and was afraid to have an accident home very scary. No it has not been inspected by anyone yet. Yes its available for inspection anytime as I wont be driving till I figure out the problem to avoid a serious accident.

SERVICE BRAKES
While in reverse, at a slow speed, my vehicle still rolls while pressing the brake. I almost hit my daughter’s dance studio. It’s happened many times now and after checking, there is a recall on the software but not the part to fix this. Apparently the software doesn’t fix it because my vehicle software has been updated. I can’t help but think I could’ve backed into a child at her dance studio. Very dangerous for my family and others. Also it’s frustrating to not feel safe driving.

SERVICE BRAKES
On 10-9-2021 was driving slowly 5-10 MPH in a parking lot and pressed brake and the brake pedal was very hard to press down. Had to really press it hard to stop the 2015 Tahoe LTZ. Had the Tahoe towed to Firestone and they said it was the vacuum pump. Wanted to make sure there was not a recall on the vacuum pump.

SUSPENSION
2015 Tahoe with a very stiff ride. ASE certified mechanic who uses OEM parts says front struts and rear shocks are frozen and have to be replaced. Cost is $3600 and he says all parts are on backorder as this is a common failure. The ride is so firm that the car leaves the ground when riding over bumpy roads.

ENGINE
I was driving at 55 mph when the entire car shuddered and very loud babgihg and knocking occurred. Immediately the car slowed way down and lost power. Luckily I was able to sagely move it out of the lane before getting rear ended but that was only because I was in the right lane. The check engine light came on and started blinking and the traction control failure and safety radar system failure light came on. The vehicle was towed to a Chevy dealer and found out the lifters had failed and these damaged the crankshaft. The truck has 91000 miles. After researching there seems to be a very large problem with these engines failing due to the AFM system that chevy uses

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the contact noticed that while activating the turn signals, the lights were blinking continuously with an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact parked the vehicle noticed a lot of moisture and condensation in the lower half of the driver’s and passenger’s side headlights and turn signals. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and attempted to replace the bulbs for the front turn signals lamps however, the failure reoccurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. Additionally, there was rust in the plug for the turn signals due to condensation. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000. Consumer stated light bulbs have been replaced 3 times in 1.5 years.

POWER TRAIN
While accelerating from a green light the truck felt as if it shifted into neutral leaving me stranded in the middle of a 4 lane highway there was no indication or warning light or sign until after the incident. Only then did the check engine light come on. There was a slight vibration before the transmission failed at 85000 miles. The truck is in the shop having the transmission replaced. I lost total drive control in the middle of a busy highway the out come could have been very bad.
