STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2015 Chevrolet Tahoe: The battery indicator goes below the midpoint, then there are different alerts on the dashboard, i.e. stabilitrak, brake assist, battery/power saver, park assist, etc. The a/c all of sudden blows hard with a display blink off, the steering wheel also gets hard to steer and then the vehicle cuts off on its own. The vehicle cutting off has happened mostly when we're trying to park and turning at slow speeds; however, it did happen once while we were stopped at a light and trying to turn into the turning lane and it shut off. The risk is a car accident causing bodily harm and/or property damage. I see recalls for the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe for this same issue, but unfortunately for whatever reason, my particular VIN was not included.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I received a combination of three error messages on the same day and they show every time I start the vehicle. “Stabilitrak” service needed, “steering assist is reduced, drive with care” action required message, and “rear parking assist symbols unavailable” error message when in reverse. Causes hard/lurch changes in gears. Affects the control of the vehicle and the ability to drive in a straight line.

STEERING
I was on my way home from work, driving 70-75mph and out of nowhere, my power steering stopped working. I pulled over the best I could and called my boyfriend to come and get me. I cannot drive the vehicle because the steering wheel has to be forced and it is very difficult to move. I have read about two recalls regarding power steering. Recall 14743- Replace the power steering assist motor kit. My Tahoe has never had the motor kit replaced. Recall 18289- Update the EPS software. This was done in May of 2019. I have addressed this issue with my dealership with no help. This is going to cost a fortune to fix and this should be covered under the recalls. The power steering is a known issue with GM and this issue almost caused me to get into a crash.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
started to notice a fuel smell/odor, which after several days 3 to 4 got worse, then my tahoe started having problems starting, i then seen fuel leaking from the driver's side behind driver's door and below driver's side passenger door, which is where my granddaughter's car seat is located, i inspected where the leak appeared to be coming from, i could tell it was coming from on top of the fuel tank running down the side of the tank leaving a puddle of fuel, the repair shop said they believe the leak is coming from the fuel line and would pull the fuel tank down and replace the fuel line which is going to be a expensive repair. this is a serious safety hazard and should be covered by general motors corporation, i am concerned that my tahoe could have caught on fire while driving without no warning indicator light. i will keep invoices from repair shop and the faulty factory fuel line. i fear this problem could very well cause loss of life or a very serious accident while driving that i believe general motors is aware of.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that upon his wife starting the vehicle, the "Service Power Steering" warning light illuminated. The contact's wife informed him that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact then called a dealer who informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V586000 (STEERING). The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

WHEELS:RIM
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle would shake violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the front-end alignment was performed however, the failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the recurring failure and informed the contact to replace the tires. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where the tires were replaced however, the failure persisted. The contact then contacted the first dealer and was informed by the dealer that the failure may be due to the front passenger's side bent rim and needed to take it to a rim specialist to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Noticed a strong gas odor when exiting the vehicle. Upon looking the at the vehicle from top to bottom I discovered that there was gas dripping from the gas tank. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told that a fuel line on top of the tank was cracked and needed to be replaced. Since this seemed like a pretty serious safety issue I did some online research hoping to discover a recall, but didn't find any open ones. What I did find was a lot of people saying that this same issue had happened to them, and is a result of a design flaw where the fuel line on top of the tank is too close the the chassis and over time vibrations wear a hole into the line. Since this is such a serious safety issue I feel that that it should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Engine service light came on May 7th during a trip which made the vehicle run sporadically and missing which then caused the traction control light to come on as well. When we took the vehicle to the dealership they said that a lifter had stuck and it had ruined the camshaft. Repairs would be 5800.00. We took the vehicle to another dealership and they gave us a better price and said that two other vehicles were in the shop in front of our vehicle for the same issue and some were newer 2019 or later vehicles and that this was a common problem because of defective parts. They said that the new parts were better and should work without the same problem. We do not have our vehicle back yet, I expect it back in a couple days because they had to order the parts. If this is a common problem, the dealerships know what is wrong and how to fix the problem, why is Chevrolet not letting owners know and take care of the problem before they fail and we end up with a large invoice. I had a 2007 Tahoe that had an oil consumption problem that everyone knew about and no one tried to get the problem fixed. This Tahoe was purchased to take on trips. The vehicle stays in a garage full time, only has 38700 miles on the engine and I have had nothing but problems since it was purchased. During one trip two spark plugs were dead, had to be replaced. One trip the battery was dead so I had to get a battery maintainer and keep on the engine battery. Trip to Florida the front window leaked and after that one stationary side window leaked. One trip the rear air conditioner did not work the first time it was used because it was not grounded. I have already decided to never buy another Chevrolet product in the future even though i have not used anything else since getting out of college in 1973. Enough is enough.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH ABOUT 140000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MONTH I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO. IT HAD AN ISSUE PLAYING CLEARLY. THEN THE DISPLAY SCREEN STARTED JUMPING AND MOVING THROUGH DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ITS OWN. JUST RECENTLY, TWO MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED IS WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THIS TIME IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY THREE TIMES IN A ROW. I THINK I PURCHASED A BAD CAR AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH IT UNTIL I CAN GET ENOUGH MONEY TO SELL IT OR TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 10 MPH) BRAKES (ABS AND POWER ASSIST) HAVE FAILED WHEN IN REVERSE ON SLIGHT INCLINE. MOST RECENTLY (4/20/2021) THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED WHEN MOVING FORWARD, AT APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MPH, WHILE ON APPROX 8% DOWNHIL GRADE. THE ROAD SURFACE WAS NON-PAVED, MIXED DIRT/GRAVEL. THIS ISSUE OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES, HOWEVER, DURING 2 OF THE OCCURANCES THE VEHICLES WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE CONTINUED OVER THE EDGE OF ROAD INTO CANYO IF NOT FOR AN EXTREME CHOICE FORWARD PATH TO NAVIGATE THURN. THIS "ROAD" WAS THE WHITE RIM ROAD IN CANYON LANDS NATIONAL PARK, UTAH.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, SLOWING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES FELT VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO PRESS TO STOP. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND IT SEEMED TO STOP FINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT SLOWING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR INTO PARKING LOTS IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. EVEN AT STOP SIGNS, I HAD TO START HITTING THE BREAKS WELL AHEAD OF THE SIGN IN HOPES THAT IT ACTUALLY STOPPED BY THE TIME I GOT TO SIGN. IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE. CALLED DEALER AND LEFT MESSAGE. CALLED AGAIN AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND. LIKELY IT WILL NEED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.
