STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 2015 AND HAD THE TAHOE WITH AUTONATION CHEVY ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. AT ONE POINT IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES AT 77 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNTS, REAR TIRES AND THEY HAVE ALIGNED VEHICLE. THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. THEY OFFERED TO DO A BUY BACK BUT OF COURSE WITH A LOSS TO ME AND I FEEL THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I DID NOT BUILD THE VEHICLE. NOW AFTER TO SPEAKING TO THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT. PLEASE FIX IT IS ALL I ASK OF CHEVY. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP???

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE IN PARK, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE ASSIST HAD ACTIVATED WHILE IN PARK. I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THE PETAL DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY PLUNGED FORWARD. AS I CONTINUED TO TRY AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PETAL, THE VEHICLE FINALLY SLOWED TO A STOP. BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE ASSIST CONTINUED TO BE LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS NO BRAKES IF I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MINE AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND WERE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE VACUUM PUMP "GOING OUT". THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 49K MILES.

WHEELS
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVY TAHOE AND USE IT HERE AND THERE. AS OF NOW I ONLY HAVE 10,000 MILES ON IT HOWEVER THE TIRES WERE BALDING AROUND 6,000 MILES AND EVEN MAYBE BEFORE THEN BUT I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. NOW IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I'M A GENTLE DRIVER AND KEEP IT ON SMOOTH ROADS. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM AFRAID THE SIDE WALLS WILL BLOW OUT ON ME OR SOMETHING EVEN WORSE MAY HAPPEN. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHAKES AND PULLS AS IT FEELS THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF DUE TO POOR TIRES. I AM NOT SURE IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THEM OR GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX (MY BRAND OF TIRES). I AM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL THIS FAR AS THE ISSUES ARE VERY APPARENT AND QUITE DANGEROUS. IF THERE IS INFO ON WHAT AN OWNER NEEDS TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THE DEFECTIVE TIRES REPLACED WHERE WOULD ONE FIND THAT LISTED OR WHO DO THEY CONTACT AND/OR WILL THEY BE CONTACTED AFTER WRITING A COMPLAINT? NOT ONLY DOES THE CAR PULL EXCESSIVELY BUT IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES, IT DOESN'T HOLD UP WELL IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO LACK OF TIRE TREAD AND THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CONSTANTLY DECREASING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PUT AIR IN SO IT'S AT THE CORRECT PSI AND EVERY MONTH, MINUS THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS I HAD THE CAR, THE ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW ALWAYS SHOWS THE PSI AS BEING SIGNIFICANTLY LOW. I JUST DON'T WANT TO FIND MYSELF IN A BAD SITUATION LIKE SOMETHING A LOT WORSE THAN HAVING MY CAR JUST PULL ME INTO THE OTHER LANE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AKA HAVE THE SIDEWILLS COMPLETELY BLOW OUT WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVING ONLY 10K MILES ON IT THIS SHOULDN'T BE A CONCERN. A QUALITY TIRE SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES BEFORE THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN.

RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED A RATTLE COMING FROM THE DASH AREA. I NOTICED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASH TO THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH AIRBAG. THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER PLACE ON THE DASH THAT HAS CRACKED AND CAUSES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE CRACKED HAPPENED. BUT, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN CERTAIN GMC VEHICLES FOR YEARS 2007-2014. I PERSONALLY KNOW TWO PEOPLE THAT OWN GMC/CHEVY SUVS THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT CRACK ON THE TOP AREA OF THE DASH. I AM MAINLY CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT MY AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY, THERE COULD BE SHRAPNEL BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND SEVERITY OF THE CRACK. ALSO, THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS CRACK WOULD AT ALL INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO LONG CRACKS, ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CALLED GM AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WASN'T EVEN A FULL TWO YEARS OLD. THE TRUCK IN KEPT IN A GARAGE AND I USE SUN VISORS DURING THE DAY TO PROTECT THE DASH FROM THE SUN. THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO GROW. THIS IS A DEFECT FROM GM AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, PIECES OF THE DASH WILL FLY INTO PEOPLES FACES IN THE TRUCK OR CAUSE A DEPLOYING AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON IN 2012 AND THE DEALER AGAIN WOULD NOT FIX IT.

WE HAVE A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET GM TO FIX THE CRACK AND THE 1ST OPTION FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS TO REFER US TO A MAN THAT COULD FILL IT IN CAN PAINT IT TO MATCH. A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD USING SILLY PUDDY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AND THE CRACK WAS STILL THERE. OUR NEXT TRY WAS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND REFERRED US TO A COMPANY DOWN THE STREET TO REPAIR IT. THAT COMPANY WAS A CAR ACCESSORY STORE THAT SAID THEY DIDN'T DO THAT TYPE OF WORK. THEN I EMAILED GM BECAUSE MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL GM MODELS. SO I EMAIL GM, WHO FIRST TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER I EXPLAINED I WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR SOME 30+ YEARS AND WHEN I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, WE ALSO BOUGHT A SILVERADO PICKUP AT THE SAME TIME. THEN I WAS REFERRED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND OVER A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS, I FINALLY GO TO SPEAK WITH A PERSON WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM GET AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. THEY FIGURED THE COST AT $800.00 AND TOLD US WE HAD TO PAY $500.00 AND THEY WOULD COVER $300.00. I CAN'T SEE WHY WE MUST PAY FOR A DESIGN DEFECT THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF ANY CAR THAT'S BEING SOLD?

THE ENTIRE DASH IN MY 2011 CHEV TAHOE IS IN DISINTEGRATION. DURING THE LAST THREE MONTHS IT IS CRACKING INTO MANY PIECES. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL OWNERS UNTIL 2016. WHAT IS GM DOING ABOUT THIS FACTORY DEFECT IN MATERIALS?? THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IS GETTING WORSE AND CRACKING ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. MY SON HAS SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2012 GMC YUKON. GM WANTED $2000.00 TO REPLACE DASH UNIT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IF DASH COMES APART WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

MY 2013 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING ON THE OUTTER EDGES AND APPEAR WORN OUT. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED, BALANCED, AND TIRES ROTATED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE STRUTS BE REPLACED EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT LEAKING. I PROVIDED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH ORIGINAL RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT I HAD TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO TWO OTHER SHOPS PREVIOUSLY. I ALSO PURCHASED A SERVICE WARRANTY PLAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ALTHOUGH THIS REPAIR IS INCLUDED, THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES MY CAR DOESN'T STOP 100% OF THE TIME. 1 TIME DURING HIGHWAY SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, 3 TIMES BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (FLAT SURFACE), 4 TIMES WHEN ON INCLINE/DECLINE OF ROAD. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, HORRIBLE CHATTERING VIBRATION COMES FROM LEFT FRONT TIRE AREA, CHATTER VIBRATION IS FELT IN BRAKE PEDAL. NO MATTER HOW HARD I APPLY THE BRAKE THE CAR KEEPS GOING - IT WILL FINALLY STOP, BUT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE ONE HIGHWAY OCCURRENCE, 2 TIMES CAR FINALLY STOPPED JUST BEFORE GOING OVER EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN PULLING FORWARD & BACKWARD TO TURN AROUND IN TIGHT AREA. IN EACH INSTANCE I AM MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE CALLING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BUT SINCE I'M OVER 36,000 WARRANTY THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO CK IT OUT,

THE DASH BOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT. WHEN ASKED A DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON FOR CHEVYS. IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS INFORMATION IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, WHY WOULD CHEVROLET COMPROMISE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. ALSO THE SIDE TRIM IS FALLING OFF
