SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH AND A KID RAN OUT BETWEEN TWO CARS AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY PARTIALLY FAILED. THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STOPPED, BUT IMMEDIATELY GOT A BRAKE FAILURE WARNING AND I HAD TO HOLD THE PEDDLE TO THE WALL TO STOP THE REMAINING MILE OR SO HOME. I GET HOME AND LOOK UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR TO INVESTIGATE A PUDDLE AND I SEE SMOKE WHERE THE RUPTURED BRAKE LINE HAD BEEN SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THOUGHT FOR SURE THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. THE BRAKES WERE JUST SERVICED, PADS AND ROTORS A YEAR OR SO AGO, SO I HAD NO CLUE THE LINES WERE BAD. JUST GOT HOME TO SEARCH ON THIS AND SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS, BUT NOT MUCH HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS SINCE 2014. VERY DISTRESSING. SEEMS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS GM IS OFFERING THE REPLACEMENT LINES FOR SALE, BUT NO MENTION THAT THE DEALERS WANT $2,000 OR MORE TO INSTALL THEM?? I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS KID IS STILL ALIVE AND WE BOTH DID NOT HAVE TO ENDURE A DEATH DUE TO THE CLOSE CALL. HOWEVER, I'M EXTREMELY DISTURBED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MILLIONS OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE ROAD AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE WITH THIS TICKING TIME BOMB. EVERY SINGLE SUCH AFFECTED TRUCK WILL EVENTUALLY RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED. GM IS CLEARLY NOT ADDRESSING THIS OR EVEN WARNING PEOPLE OF THE HIDDEN PROBLEM. WHY WON'T YOU GUYS DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BIG PROBLEM? YOU'VE KNOW ABOUT THIS FOR 4 YEARS AND NOTHINGS BEEN DONE? I'M SHOCKED, THAT GM HAS BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ALL RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO A MFRS DEFECT BY USING CHEAP AND INFERIOR PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT HOLD UP IN THE NORTHERN CLIMATES. COATED BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE MANDATED!!! JUST CAME BACK FROM THE NEXT PAGE TO QUALIFY: NO CRASH - BY ABOUT 1 FOOT. NO FIRE - VERY LUCKY. NO INJURY/FATALITY - THIS VERY CLOSE! I WOULD LIKE A CALL BACK.

CRACKING DASH BOARD. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND MY FIRST CRACK OCCURRED AT 3 YEARS OLD TO THE LEFT CORNER OF MY AIRBAG. SECOND CRACK JUST RECENTLY OCCURRED NEAR DRIVERS SIDE. CHEVROLET AND MY DEALERSHIP ARE NOT HELPING ME TO REPLACE MY DASH. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY IT STARTS TO CRACK MORE AND RADDLE AND SHAKE . I AM AFRAID THAT THE DASH OR STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO COME OFF IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED GM AND THEY HAVE NO REGARDS OR CONCERNS FOR MY SAFETY AND TOLD ME ITS MY PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION
MY 2015 TAHOE RIDES LIKE I AM ON A WASHBOARD ALL THE TIME - ANYTIME THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I CAN FEEL EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT IS JUST AWFUL. I EVEN CAMP UP OFF MY SEAT TODAY JUST RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTED RIGHT AROUND THE TIME THE CAR TURNED 50,000 MILES. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2011 GMC PICKUP TRUCK THAT RIDES BETTER THAN THAT VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAGNETIC RIDE SHOCKS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. I AM WRITING TO REQUEST A RECALL ON THE SHOCKS FOR THE 2015 TAHOE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WE'VE PUT 21,000 MILES ON THESE TIRES IN 3 YEARS AND HAVE TIRE RUMBLES, VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AND SIDE WALL IS CRACKING AND FLAKING AWAY. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE GOT THE TIRES FROM AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S CAUSING IT. SEEMS TO ME THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL ISSUED OFFICIALLY OVER 2 YEARS, UNOFFICIALLY MUCH LONGER. REQUEST STATUS AND COMPLETION DATE. CONTACT / TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE MANUFACTURE FOR STATUS AND COMPLETION DATE HAS ONLY RESULTED IN BEING REFERRED TO THE NHTSA. SAME WITH NHTSA, MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS HAVE SAID "NO DANGER/RISKS". THEN WHY A SAFETY RECALL?? TWO+ YEARS, NO SOLUTION!! MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS THE ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER, AND TO PREVENT THEIR INJURY, AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DISABLED RESULTING TO EXPOSURE TO ADDITIONAL RISKS.
