SUSPENSION
HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIDING SUPER ROUGH, FELT LIKE IT HAD NO SHOCKS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR POTHOLES. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEIR MECHANIC SAID IT LOOKED LIKE BOTH REAR SHOCKS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DD NOT BELIEVE THEM AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. OF COURSE, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COME TO FIND OUT, AFTER LOOKING AT SEVERAL FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAGNETIC RIDE SUSPENSION IN THE HIGH TRIM PACKAGE TAHOES AND YUKONS AND YET GM WILL NOT COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ARE OFF, I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE DOME LIGHTS FLICKER VERY INTENSELY FOR A HALF-SECOND. THIS FLICKERING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. IT IS A VERY BRIGHT FLICKER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MOMENTARY DISTRACTION OR LIGHT-BLINDING.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN 2016 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A DRIP OF OIL IN MY GARAGE THAT WASN'T CONSISTENT AND WHEN TELLING MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND FOUND NOTHING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SIDE DOOR BLACK FASCIA FLEW OFF, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 3 STATING IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 34K WARRANTY. I HAD REQUESTED THEY REPLACE/SECURE THE 4TH AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE AND DIDN'T NEED REPLACING. I RETURNED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND REPORTED THE ONE THAT WAS NOT REPLACED IS NOW LOOSE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND WOULD BE CHARGED AN HOUR LABOR AS WELL AS PARTS, COSTING ROUGHLY $120.00. I THEN HAD MY AC GO OUT IN SUMMER OF 2019 AND HAD THAT REPLACED SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE IN FALL 2019 I MENTIONED MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING PROPERLY WHILE BRAKING AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A CURRENT RECALL THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT WAS PERFORMED. I WAS STILL NOTICING THE BRAKING ISSUES. IN NOV.2019 I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE MISFIRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WORSENED AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I WAS INFORMED I WOULD NOT GET A LOANER CAR AS ALL OF THEIRS WERE OUT TO PEOPLE WITH PARTS REQUIRED WITHOUT AN ETA FROM GM. I WAS CALLED 4 DAYS LATER AS I HAD NOT HEARD BACK AND WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDED A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW VACUUM PUMP AS THIS HAD FAILED AND IS THE REASON FOR THE HARD BRAKING. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP IS ON BACK-ORDER WITHOUT AN ETA AND "I STILL HAVE MY ABS THAT WILL ASSIST WITH STOPPING".

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE(WD) AND AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ITSELF INTO 4WD ON ITS OWN., I IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED A NOTICE ON MY DASH CONSUL, 4WD SERVICE ALERT ON MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL HIGH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE. IF I WERE ON SNOW OR WET ROADS I SURELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO BRODHEADSVILLE CHEVY FOR REPAIRS ON 26, DECEMBER 2019. THE DEALERSHIP PUT MY TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND DETERMINED THAT IT HAD A CODE C0398 FOR RANGE POSITION CORRECTION. THE REPAIR FOR THIS WAS A NEW CALIBRATION (BASICALLY UPDATE THE CURRENT SOFTWARE) TO THE NEW VERSION WHICH WAS (VERSION 9.2). (SEE ATTACHED DEALERSHIP PAPERWORK WHICH DETAILS THE REPAIR.) I FEEL THIS SOFTWARE GLITCH IS BY NO WAY MY FAULT NOR MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS SOFTWARE FAILURE. THERE WAS NOT ANY PART FOUND FAULTY OR REPLACED. COMPUTERS WERE NOT DAMAGED NOR HARMED IN ANY MANNER TO CREATE THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH OR ERROR. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED. I AS A USER OF CHEVROLET'S PRODUCT HAVE NO CONTROL OF HOW CHEVY CODES THERE SOFTWARE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT PERFORMS CORRECTLY. IF THERE IS A CODING DEFECT IN THERE SOFTWARE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT I CAN REPAIR IT WITH OUT GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING THEM FIX IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ON THIS UNSAFE ISSUE POTENTIALLY CAUSING LOSE OF LIFE.

SERVICE BRAKES
OCTOBER 8, 2019 WAS TAKING OFF IN TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH. THE TRAFFIC STOPPED, ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND PEDAL FELT HARD. REAR END COLLISION OCCURRED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING REAR DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AND FRONT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW SPEED AND COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT A COLLISION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER ON JANUARY 10TH. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOST BUT SAID THE PEDAL WAS STILL HARD AND THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE MECHANICAL VACUUM OUTPUT. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER BUT THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME BECAUSE OF SAFETY RISKS YET I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR MONTHS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ALL RECALLS REVIEWED ARE SUGGESTIVE IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM NOT A MANDATORY REPAIR. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A CRASH LIKE I DID?? ONCE RESEARCHED THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MONTHS WITH 3 ASSOCIATED RECALLS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY REMEDIED. MY VEHICLE DAMAGE WAS SET TO BE REPAIRED NEXT WEEK BUT NOW IT HAS TO BE CANCELLED BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE IN POSSESSION.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING DUE TO RUBBING ON HE CHASSIS. WHEN I MENTIONED IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AS ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS CHEWING ON THE PLASTIC BUT AS YOU SEE IN THE PICS. THAT IS NOT THE CASE AND EVEN THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT WAS NOT CHEWED ON.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
HAS A PROBLEM IN THE SUSPENSION WHEN YOU DRIVE IT JUMPS LIKE AN OLD TRUCK. RECENTLY REPLACED THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS THAT WE'RE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES AND IT ALSO FEELS TOO LOOSE ON THE BRAKES. ANOTHER PROBLEM, RECENTLY WENT OUT TO A STORE AND WHEN I REVERSED AND I WANTED TO STOP BECAUSE A VEHICLE WAS COMING, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A STONE AND DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE NO MATTER IF YOU BRAKE WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH THE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND, NOW THE PROBLEM IS VERY CONSTANT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE'2015 CHEVY TAHOE LT ON JULY 1, 2019 I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT GLITCHES IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, AND MYLINK TOUCHSCREEN WILL COMPLETELY BLACK OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR A SPLIT SECOND. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH, DURING THE NIGHT AND DAY. IT WAS SUSPECTED TO BE THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY, AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE BEHAVIOR. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK WARNING WILL ALSO POP UP AFTER THE POWER IS RESTORED. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AFTER READING DOZENS OF FORUMS IT'S CLEAR THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AT LEAST 20 TIMES SINCE JULY 2019, RANDOMLY AND COMPLETELY UNEXPECTEDLY.

EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE OR USE MY DIRECTIONAL ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH. ITS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT. I DID'T KNOW I COULD REPORT THIS HERE. I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER LAST YEAR AND HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE VERY INVOLVED TO FIX SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS UP. HE SAID IF IT DOESNT BOTHER YOU THAT MUCH IT WOULD BE BETTER TO LEAVE IT. :(
