AIR BAGS
RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM CHEVROLET IN JUNE 2016 CONCERNING DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. THE RECALL STATED I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW AUGUST 2019 AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS.

SUSPENSION
STRUT LEAKING (FRONT DRIVER/ PASSAGE SIDE) AND SHOCKS MALFUNCTIONED (REAR). DRIVING ON A FAIRLY SMOOTH HIGHWAY, DOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY SUV WAS BOUNCING AND EXPERIENCING A ROUGH RIDE. PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT GAS STATION AND NOTICED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE SUV TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP (FIRESTONE). THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BOTH STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THE SHOCKS APPEARED TO BE EXTENDED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR TOWED ANYTHING (EXCEPT A BIKE RACK). TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP (THIS WAS SATURDAY). THE DEALERSHIP COMFIRMED BOTH FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND ESTIMATED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1700.00 PLUS A FRONT END ALIGNMENT (DIAGNOSTIC COSTED $138.00). THE ISSUE WITH THE REAR SHOCKS WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK ON MONDAY MORNING BUT I WAS IN ROUTE TO A YOUTH SOFTBALL GAME IN ANOTHER CITY. SO MY FAMILY AND I SUFFERED THE ROUGH RIDE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHICH DIAGNOSED THE REAR SHOCK ISSUE AS A MALFUNCTION AND BOTH SHOCKS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A COST OF $1700.00. NOW, THAT IS A TOTAL REPAIR EQUALED $3600.00. GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THE SUSPENSION ISSUE WITH THE TAHOE. IT IS A 2015 TAHOE LTZ. IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WOULD GO OUT ON A VEHICLE WITH THAN 62K MILES. GM LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER READING THE LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE 2015 TAHOES AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH INDIVIDUALS IN THIS AREA IN BUSINESS WITH GM, I FEEL EVEN MORE UNSAFE THAN I HAVE BEFORE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE LAWSUITS WITH THE 2015 TAHOE'S, THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO TOTAL RECALL WITH MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. SHOCKING. I DID SEE SEVERAL RECALLS OF GREAT CONCERN THAT I HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS IN MY GARAGE. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO PAY TO RENT A WORKING, SAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ONE I PAY $615 MONTHLY FOR IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND A LIABILITY. IN CONCLUSION, ARE THERE STEPS AN INDIVIDUAL IS ABLE TO TAKE TO RESOLVE SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO SEEK ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL AIDE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING?

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BRAKES RANDOMLY STARTED NOT WORKING. A LOT OF RESISTANCE, UNABLE TO STOP, UNABLE TO PUSH BRAKE TO FLOOR. FINALLY GOT SOMEWHERE AND PARKED AFTER AVOIDING THREE ACCIDENTS, VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 TAHOE. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN A RECALL????

TAKATA RECALL-- IN 2017 I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL FROM TAKATA TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED AS PART OF A RECALL. I HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIPS NO LESS THAN 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS AS INDICATED TO DO SO ON THE FORM TO GET REPLACED. WHEN I CALL DEALERSHIPS, THEY TELL ME THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN SENT BY MANUFACTURER YET FOR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, AUGUST 7, 2019-- 2 YEARS LATER-- AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT IN. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? THIS IS ABSURD. AGAIN, THE NOTICE IS ATTACHED BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS PARKED. WE GOT IN & SHUT THE DOORS. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, THE DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. IT WAS WELL OVER 100 DEGREES IN THE CAR. WE WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH 911, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO RELEASE THE DOOR LOCKS AND WE ESCAPED. THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. EVIDENTLY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE BATTERY WAS LOW. HAVING DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND BE DISABLED DUE TO A BATTERY IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2008 TAHOE LT 4WD AND HAVE CONTACTED ASHEVILLE CHEVROLET IN ASHEVILLE, NC ON A COUPLE OF OCCASSIONS REGARDING THIS AIRBAG RECALL, MOST RECENTLY ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS STARTING TO CRACK PARTICULIARLY TWO CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE DASH AND ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DASH CRACKING IN TAHOE MODELS AND WAS NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT THERE WAS ALSO NOT A RECALL ON THE DASH CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT USED TO SUPERVISE A TRAFFIC SAFETY UNIT AND AM A CERTIFIED TRAFFIC CRASH RECONSTRUCTIONIST, THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA TO DETERMINE IF IT IS IN FACT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL AND ESCALATE GM TO REPLACE THE DASHES AND /OR TAKATA AIRBAGS IF IT IS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE ENGINE, FRONT AND BACK BRAKES WERE FAULTY, THE STARTER WAS GOING BAD, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THE BACK WINDOWS WERE NOT IN WORKING CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY SENSOR LIGHTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE ENGINE CHECKED BUT THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS IT WOULD NOT SHOW A DISPLAYING MESSAGE IT WOULD ALSO EFFECT THE AUDIO FUSE THAT ALLOWS THE AUDIO SYSTEM TO FUNCTION. THE TIRES WERE BALD ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND LEFT BACK PASSENGER SIDE. THE SEAT BELTS WERE DIFFICULT TO ENTER INTO LATCH IN ORDER TO SECURE SEATBELT.

AS TIME WENT ON THE NOISE INCREASED AND THE HAIRLINE CRACK BECAME LARGER. WE HAVE HAD TO INSERT A FOAM PIECE TO CONTROL THE RATTLELING. OUR SO. HAS A 2010 CHEVY TAHOE AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEAVY MOISTURE IS ACCUMULATING IN THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT WITH NO CRACKS IN THE LIGHT. IT IS CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION WITH A WARNING ON OUR INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS INOPERATIVE. CHEVROLET IS NOT ACCEPTING OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY DESIGN, OR PART, OR SYSTEM AND WANTS US TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUOTED $1200 IN REPAIR COSTS JUST TO REPLACE ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED ALSO WON'T COVER IT. I'M FINDING OUT THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. JUST OVER 50K MILES ON THE VEHICLE! THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED!

THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVER CRACKS IN 2 DIFFERENT PLACES. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TAHOES. IT IS FORESEEABLE THAT INJURIES WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED IN THE CASE OF A FRONT-END COLLISION SHOULD THE DASH COME COMPLETELY APART AND LEAVE SHARP EDGES EXPOSED.
