SERVICE BRAKES
ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FOR THE LAST YEAR. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS THE BRAKES SEEM MUSHY WHEN PRESSED AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE OR A PARKING SPACE. WE HAVE TO PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE ALMOST RAN INTO THE WALL IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. MOSTLY LIKELY THIS IS WHY THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A TICKING SOUND, BECAUSE OF THE LEAK.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED "HARD BRAKING" OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE TRAVELING AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS, WHEN I BRAKE - THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT GO DOWN IN ITS NORMAL FASHION. I MUST APPLY THE BRAKES VERY HARD, AND THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE ITS NOT GOING TO STOP. I HAD RECENTLY READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DOCUMENT THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAPPENED AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES CONSISTENTLY SOFT PRESSURE ESPECIALLY ON DOWNGRADES. CAME CLOSE TO HITTING PARKED CARS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. BRAKE WAS PRESSED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT STOPPED. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAVE CHANGED PADS FIXED ROTORS BUT STILL VERY SOFT MUSHY BRAKES. MANY COMPLAINTS I AM READING ABOUT THIS 2016 TAHOE. WHEN PARKED PRESSING BRAKE 3 TIMES IS WHEN IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE IT IS IN CORRECT POSITION. I OWED 2008 SUBURBAN FOR 10 YEARS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY NEIGHBORS' CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS REVERSE LIGHTS THAT STAY ON AFTER THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THE DRIVER IS WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN YOUNG AND HIGH-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN PLAYING BEHIND THE CAR WHILE THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE LIT WHICH CAUSED ME TO SHOUT AND RUN. IF THE CHILDREN, OR ADULTS FOR THAT MATTER, CAN TAKE THOSE REVERSE LIGHTS FOR GRANTED THEN THERE'S A POTENTIAL THEY CAN BE KILLED BY ANOTHER CAR WERE THOSE LIGHTS ONLY LIGHT UP WHEN THEY'RE IN REVERSE. I BELIEVE ALL GM VEHICLES WORK THIS WAY.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, BOTH TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SO FIRM THAT IT CANNOT BE DEPRESSED. I AM UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PUMPING THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $700 TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE.
