SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO APPLY AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE PULLING IN A PARKING SPACE THEN REVERSING TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WOULDN'T ENGAGE AND I HAD TO PRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS FIRST OCCURANCE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5:00 PM ON NOVEMBER 11, 2018 IN ORLANDO, FL. AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE ISSUE BUT AFTER I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, IT APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. I CONTINUED MY EVENING AND DROVE SEVERAL PLACES AND EVENTUALLY DROVE BACK HOME TO TAMPA, FL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. UPON REACHING MY DESTINATION AND ATTEMPTING TO PARALLEL PARK, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. I TURNED OF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. I SUSPECTED AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DIMMITT CHEVROLET IN CLEARWATER, FL THE FOLLOWING MORNING. DIMMITT "VERIFIED CONCERN. PERFORMED DIAG. FOUND ENGINE VACUUM PUMP IS WEAK AND NOT PULLING ENOUGH VACUUM AT TIMES." DIMMITT "REMOVED AND REPLACED VACUUM PUMP."

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE PUTTING THE PASSENGER AT RISK DURING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE CRACK RUNS DOWN TO THE AIRBAG IT COULD POSSIBLE SHATTER THE PLASTIC AND DAMAGE PASSENGERS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS UNSAFE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN PRESSURE APPLIED. OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. GM FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE, YET WITH A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, YOU CAN SEE IT HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS PEOPLE AND VEHICLES. SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY NOW BUT YET THERE ARE NONE.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND GOING IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS AND DELAYS THE BRAKING. I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERS 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT TIME THEY MADE SOME REPAIR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS. GOING IN REVERSE ON A SLOPE (OUT OF A DRIVEWAY) IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING. HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE APPROX 95,000 ON MY VEHICLE.

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 HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY BREAKS AND CHEVY SAID IT WAS MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THEY REPLACED IT AT MY COST. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT ONLY COST ME A $150 DEDUCTIBLE. I JUST READ ABOUT THIS IN THE NEWS AND DECIDED TO REPORT IT. BUT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, I CONSTANTLY FELT THAT MY BREAKS WERE GONE AND ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL DIFFERENT CARS

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHEV TAHOE TODAY, WHILE IN MOTION, THE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASH ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. THEN THE ENGINE STARTED STRUGGLING. I GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND IT APPEARS GM RECALLED MODELS FROM 2014 AND 2015 WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL IMPACTED MODELS. IF THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER, IT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY TAHOE HAS ONLY 40,000 MI. WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHIVERS ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I REPLACED MY TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ONLY HALF WORN TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T CHARGE ANYTHING. #2 COMPLAINT IS MY REAR DOORS FILL WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS PROBLEM ON LINE,IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE MADE TO DO THAT AND I DO THINK THAT SHOULD BE THAT WAY!
