ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS PARKED ON MODERATELY SLOPED DRIVEWAY. ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS IN "PARK" POSITION. VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ROLLED BACK SEVERAL FEET, AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. OTHER VEHICLE ALSO OWNED BY ME. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NOT INFLUENCED BY DRIVER. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT IS MY BELIEF THE APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION/SOFTWARE. I DID FIND WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL #14192 FOR THIS ISSUE.

SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. RIDES LIKE CRAP EVEN AFTER I INSTALLED THE $1800 FRONT AND REAR STRUTS. ITS VERY ROUGH AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. ITS VERY BOUNCY AND DANGEROUS. RIDICULOUS THAT A $65,000 LUXURY VEHICLE HAS SUCH A BAD DESIGN ON THE SUSPENSION!

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE IS NOTICEABLY LOWER IN THE FRONT END, YOU CAN SEE THE ANGLE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE STANDING BESIDE IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP, GOING OVER AN UNEVEN PART OF THE ROAD, OVER EVEN GOING OVER A BRIDGE (SO BASICALLY JUST DRIVING IN GENERAL!) THE VEHICLE BOUNCES UP AND DOWN HARSHLY. THE VEHICLE WILL BOUNCE SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT RIDES "NORMAL" AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD, AND I SAY "NORMAL" LOOSELY AS IT IT STILL NOT RIDING PROPERLY. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE BECOMES SO BOUNCY, THAT I FEEL THE VEHICLE COME OFF THE ROAD, AND HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE OTHER LANE BEFORE. GM IS GOING TO LOOK AT , BUT IF ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT WILL COST OVER $2,000 TO FIX. THIS IS ALSO A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH A POWER-TRAIN, AND CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY CURRENTLY ACTIVE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE BAD MAGNETIC STRUTS ON SOMETHING I'VE OWNED 1 & 1/2 YEARS. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT GM HAS ZERO LOANER VEHICLES FOR ME TO DRIVE, SO THEY SUGGEST I PAY OUT OF POCKET AND USE ENTERPRISE. IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD, THAT I KNOW THE PARTS IN THE ROAD WHERE IT BOUNCES THE WORST, AND I HAVE TO COME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP BEFORE GOING OVER THAT PATCH, JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAYS, DIRT ROAD, BASICALLY ANY TYPE OF ROAD.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
ON MAY 31, 2018 I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ WITH 30,000MILES THAT HAD BEEN TRADED IN AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING IT, THE CAR BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH A STABILITRAK WARNING FOLLOWED BY OTHER ERRATIC COMPUTER WARNINGS. IN FOLLOWING WEEKS THE CAR ALSO BEGAN HAVING COMPLETE POWER FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE TURNING AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS TO DATE. THE ENGINE ALSO BEGAN SMOKING IN JULY, CAUSED, AS IT TURNS OUT, BY A JAMMED BELT ON THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY POWER FAILURES IN PARKING LOTS, ON STREETS, THE HIGHWAY TUNNEL IN BOSTON AND MOST RECENTLY ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND WHEN THE CAR STALLED IN CHARLESTOWN, RI WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD NO WARNING FLASHERS OR BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. WITH THE HELP OF THE LOCAL POLICE DEPT. WHO ASSISTED ME UNTIL THE CAR RESTARTED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A LOCAL RESIDENCE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SENT A FLATBED TRUCK TO TOW IT BACK TO THE FACILITY WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO RETURN THE CAR TO ME AS IT DOESN'T FAIL WHEN THEY DRIVE IT DUE TO ITS ERRATIC NATURE, AND SERVICE BY SEVERAL GM DEALERS THEY HAVE SENT IT TO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS EITHER. I AM STUNNED TO LEARN THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECENT RECALL LIST FROM GM REGARDING POWER STEERING ISSUES AT SLOW SPEEDS. IN A PHONE CALL TO GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ON 9/21/18 (CASE NUMBER 8-4650063752) THE REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I TRUST THAT BY REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS TO YOU GM WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND INSURE MY SAFETY AND THOSE AROUND ME WHILE DRIVING. I APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION I HAVE AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ID PLATE FROM THE SIDE OF THE CAR.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN AND ACCELERATING AGAIN, THE VEHICLE CAN'T CATCH ITS GEAR AND BASICALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THE RPMS REV WAY UP, YOU CAN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WON'T GO UNTIL IT FINALLY FINDS A GEAR. WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AND IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE CITY, AND ON THE INTERSTATE.

2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. FRONT MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL STRUTS BLOWN OUT WITH 56,000 MILES. RIDICULOUS. $1600 COST TO REPLACE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AND REPLACE. THESE SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOUR NORMAL DRIVER WOULD PROBABLY NEVER KNOW. THIS TAHOE HAS NEVER EVEN SEEN DIRT.
