ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING SLOW DOWN A BLOCK AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL FIRE SMOKE. THE SMOKE GOT WORSE AND DARKER AND IT WAS COMING UP FROM UNDER MY LEGS (I WAS DRIVING). I PULLED OVER, PUT MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS ON AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. HAD A HARD TIME GETTING MY SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED, BUT FINALLY GOT IT OFF AND JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR. THE SMOKE GOT REALLY BAD AND VERY RAPIDLY THE DRIVER SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE. MY BROTHER WAS WITH ME, HE WAS OUT OF THE CAR AS WELL, AND HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE CAR WAS TOWED. IF I HADN'T GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR AS FAST AS I DID I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS WELL. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE NEW 2015 TAHOES HAVE A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. I PUSHED OFF THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (FORGOT TO PUT IN PARK), EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REALIZED THE CAR WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. I QUICKLY JUMPED IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS SURPRISED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE WHEN THE CAR'S IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL! THIS IS A BIG HAZARD. THERE SHOULD EITHER BE A FAIL SAFE AND NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO TURN OFF IN DRIVE OR AUTOMATICALLY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS PRESSED. (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS ON A RECENT MODEL MERCEDES.) *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMELLED GAS COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR (ON EXTERIOR) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE METAL RING MOLDED INTO THE PLASTIC TANK WHERE THE SENDING UNIT MOUNTS TO THE TANK HAD RUSTED OUT AND GAS WAS ACCUMULATING IN THE "BOWL" THAT THE CONNECTION IS IN. RUSTING IS A RESULT OF WATER ACCUMULATING IN THE "BOWL" WHERE THE UNIT MOUNTS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRAIN OUT. DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A NUMBER OF TAHOE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT CHEVROLET DETERMINED THIS WAS AN ISSUE AND CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE TANK IN FUTURE MODELS TO REMOVE THE METAL RING THAT THE SENDING UNIT MOUNTED TO. COST TO REPAIR AT CHEVROLET AND INDEPENDENT GARAGE $2,000 OR MORE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AT 35MPH WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND LOST ALL BRAKES,THIS INCIDENT ALSO HAPPENED IN JUNE 2013. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT SINCE THE EARLY 2000. GM REFUSES TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IN THE NORTHEAST CLAIMING ITS OWNER RESPONSIBILITY.SINCE JUNE 2013 I INVESTED OVER $1000.00 IN REPAIRS. HAD I BEEN GOING A FASTER SPEED I COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF AND OTHERS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
POWER LOCKS ON DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ( WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ) . THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF IN A VEHICLE CRASH AS I WOULD HAVE TROUBLE ACCESSING MY CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT. COULD YOU IMAGINE A CAR ON FIRE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH YOUR CHILD. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS REPLACED. THIS CAME UP AS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WHILE SEARCHING FOR A REMEDY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE ABS KICKS IN AT SLOW SPEEDS WHILE STOPPING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. HAD ALL NEW BRAKES PUT ON AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. CHECKED RECALL STATUS ON MY VEHICLE AND THE YEAR AND SYMPTOMS OF RECALL WERE FOUND AT NHTSA ID#05V379000 / GM RECALL #05068. CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR RECALL DUE TO IT'S VIN. VERY UPSET BECAUSE MY VEHICLE FITS EXACTLY WHAT IS ON RECALL AND GM WONT FIX IT. *TR
