SUSPENSION
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE RIDE. FRONT END VERY, VERY BOUNCY, I WAS JUST TOLD I NEED BOTH FRONT SHOCKS REPLACED, TRUCK ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES. COST OF REPAIR IS NEARLY TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A BULLITIEN BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON AND FREQUENT COMPLAINT WITH THE LTZ MODELS, AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED INSTANTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 15MPH ON A CITY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS. APPARENLY THE STEERING MOTOR HAS FAILED AND IN TURN THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING THE ENTIRE "STEERING GEAR" GM # 84368394 FOR $2250. CALLED GM, THEY STATED THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS FAILURE IS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE 2015 TAHOE MODEL, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED SO THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE RECALL REFERENCED IS, NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 4V719, GM RECALL 14743,

SERVICE BRAKES
RETURNING FROM AN 80 MILE TRIP FROM WASHINGTON DC WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WHEN I TRIED TO ENGAGE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP SHORT OF HITTING CAR AHEAD OF ME. I PROCEEDED THROUGH LIGHT ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER AND DID HAVE BRAKES AT THAT TIME. THEY FOUND OIL IN THE BRAKE LINE. HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMP, PIPE, BOOSTER, CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID. IT WAS REPORTED TO ME THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SAME MODEL. WHY NOT A RECALL? VERY UNSAFE! MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY WIFE AND MYSELF PURCHASED A NEW CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ IN 2015. THE FIRST MONTH THE A/C HAD TO BE REPLACED, RAC AND PINION STEERING AND REAR SHOCKS. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE COST. 2016 OF JANUARY THE A/C STARTED MAKING NOISES AND NOT COOILNG, THE FRONT STRUTS MAGNETIC,BALL JOINTS AND STEERING RACK PINION WENT OUT. THIRD OCCURRENCE WAS IN 2017 DECEMBER THE FRONT MAGNETIC STRUCTS AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE FROM THE TIME WE PURCHASED IT. THE SUSPENSION IS HORRIBLE AND WE LATER FOUND OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE IDENTITCAL HORRIBLE SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT 62K MILE AND NEEDS FRONT END SUSPENSION REPLACEMENT. THE WARRANTY DO NOT COVER PASS THREE YEARS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS HORRIBLE GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF SUSPENSION PROBLEMS AND GM WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE ONSTAR LIGHT WOULD SWITCH BETWEEN GREEN AND RED, AND MY COMPASS NO LONGER WORKS. WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY HIGH-FREQUENCY ANTENNA WAS OUT DUE TO OUTSIDE WATER INTRUSION (EX. RAIN, SNOW, CARWASHES...) WHEN YOU GO ONLINE THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WITH THIS PROBLEM YOUR ONSTAR, NAVIGATION, COMPASS, AND XM RADIO MAY HAVE PROBLEMS. MY SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS IS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE PAY FOR ONSTAR SERVICES AND WITH THE GM DEFECT WHICH WAS ACKNOWLEDGED WITH CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS BUT NOT ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IS THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR AN AREA WHERE CELL SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE HELP I NEED FOR SERVICES I AM PAYING FOR DUE TO AN ISSUE IN MANUFACTURING. GM ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM WHERE THEY FIXED THIS ISSUES IN VINS THEY FOUND TO BE AFFECTED; I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. AS OF NOW, ONSTAR CANNOT LOCATE MY VEHICLE AND IF I WERE IN DANGER THEY WOULD NOT ABLE TO RESPOND TO ME NOR MY FAMILY.

I BEEN HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS AND BRAKES KEEP GOING OUT AND THE AIR CONDITION KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS I SEE NO RECALLS ON THAT. AND I'VE SEEN ON THE REVIEWS OF THIS VEHICLE AND ITS NOT JUST ME THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING. THIS COULD CAUSE A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT THE BRAKES KEEP GOING OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THAT EVERYONE HAS FAMILIES. AND ACCIDENTS COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE OUR FAMILY JUST FOR A SIMPLE BRAKES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. AND ALSO, WE JUST CANNOT KEEP AFFORDING TO FIX THE AIR CONDITIONING THIS TRUCK IS NOT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO BE GIVING US THESE PROBLEM. THANK YOU
