OUR TAHOES AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT CHECKED. THEIR RECORDS SHOWED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL AND THAT THEY HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE STRUT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WASN'T THE STRUT/ ACTUATOR . HE SAID IT WAS THE MODULE AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $750. WE ORDERED THE MODULE AND PUT IT IN AND IT DIDN'T FIX IT. AFTER REPLACING THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR/LOCK NOT SHOWING ANY POWER, SO WE ORDERED THAT AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. LAST WE REPLACED THE STRUT/ACTUATOR AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WON'T ADMIT ANY WRONGDOING BUT WE DON'T FEEL THAT A RECALLED PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE COST US ANYTHING.

A/C CONDENSER. THE A/C IN MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IS THE PAST TWO-AND-A-HALF WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND THAT THE FREON WAS GONE. THEY CHECKED AND COULD NOT LOCATE ANY LEAKS. THE RECHARGED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED FREON, ADDING DYE TO THE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY FUTURE LEAKS. TWO-AND-A-HALF WEEKS LATER, MY FREON WAS COMPLETELY GONE AGAIN AND THE DYE REVEALED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY A/C CONDENSER. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ON THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT GM\CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE PART IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER, AND EVEN MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP CANNOT GET THE PART. THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. OTHERS ARE REPORTING WAIT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 60 DAYS TO SECURE A REPLACEMENT A/C CONDENSER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL MY A/C FUNCTIONS, GIVEN THE EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES IN MY AREA. WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A PART TO FIX IT, THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY A MANUFACTURER RECALL. MY DEALER HAS LOOKED FOR OEM, AFTER-MARKET, USED, AND REBUILT A/C CONDENSERS NATIONWIDE, AND CAN'T LOCATE A SINGLE ONE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. OTHERS ONLINE ARE REPORTING THE SAME. FORCE CHEVY TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS SITUATION!

I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR CONDENSER IS A FAULTY PART AND IS NOT WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. ALSO, GM HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE, FOR IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS ON BACK ORDER, AND THERE ARE NO PARTS IN PRODUCTION, FOR THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A REMEDY TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WITHIN MY VEHICLE. THUS, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE, FOR IT IS 90 DEGREES WHERE I LIVE, AND I HAVE INFANT TWINS THAT ARE TRANSPORTED WITH MY VEHICLE.

GM CONDENSER ISSUE. GM HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014-2016 MODELS USING A DEFECTIVE CONDENSER. THEY HAVE A NEW PART # THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR THE PART. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, KIDS IN TOW, ON A RAINY MUGGY DAY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LAST WEEK. MY WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO FOG AND WITH NO CONDENSER TO RUN THE AC I WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS. UNABLE TO SEE A THING I HAD TO PULL OVER, ON THE FREEWAY, CAREFULLY, AND FIND A CHILD'S COAT IN THE VERY BACK TO WIPE DOWN THE WINDOWS TO CREST VISIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY NEGLIGENCE ON GM'S PART AND THEY WOULD BE HELD LIABLE IF/WHEN THIS CREATES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I OWN A 2015 TAHOE AND LIVE IN THE PACIFIC NW (AC USED THREE MONTHS OUT THE YEAR, MAYBE). EIGHT MONTHS AGO (END OF LAST YEAR WARM SEASON) THE AC STOPPED WORKING, OF COURSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY PAID OVER $850 AT LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO PUT IN NEW CONDENSER. GO TO USE AC FOR FIRST TIME THIS SEASON AND IT STOPS WORKING, SAME THING. TAKE IT TO SAME DEALER AND I AM TOLD THAT NOW THE COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING AT A TUNE OF $960!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZINESS, THE AC IS A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD. NO ACCIDENTS OR ANY REASON THIS IS HAPPENING. I BOUGHT CHEVY BELIEVING I WAS BUYING QUALITY. I HAVE KIDS IN SPORTS AND DRIVE A LOT SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TROUBLE LIKE THIS WITH A NEW CAR. CHECKING WITH THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS/AUTOMOTIVE AC REPAIR COMPANIES I WAS TOLD BY ALL THREE THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING IN MY VERY NEW AND EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND THAT IT IS LIKELY THE CONDENSER WAS NOT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WAS THE COMPRESSOR ALL ALONG AND ONCE REFILLED WITH FREON IT WORKED FOR A BIT BUT NOW LEAKED OUT AGAIN AND I AM ASKED TO PAY THE LABOR ALL OVER AGAIN. VERY VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AND FEELING LIKE CHEVY IS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT, NEVER ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS WITH HONDA OR TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED- NORMAL STUFF AND IF ACCIDENT OR MECHANICAL STUFF, BRAKES, YES ALL THAT HAPPENS, BUT AC IN A NEWER VEHICLE-2 XS IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR, NO! #TAKENFORARIDEBYCHEVY #FAULTYPRODUCT #CHEVYDISSPOINTING

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
CAR WAS VIBRATING WHEN GETTING ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR. THOUGHT WHEELS NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. ONCE BALANCED,PULLED TRAILER AND VIBRATION WAS EXTREMELY WORSE. VIBRATING LIKE WE HAD THE BACK WINDOW ROLLED DOWN, BUT ALL WINDOWS WERE UP. WENT BACK TO DEALER IN NEWNAN GEORGIA AND THEY HOOKED UP A TRAILER TO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE THEN BOUGHT NEW TIRES THINKING IT WOULD HELP THE ISSUE. WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT TWO SETS OF TIRES, CONSTANTLY HAVING THE VEHICLE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE VIBRATION. WE ARE CURRENTLY UP TO 53K ON THE VEHICLE AND VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE LUXURY PRICE WE PAID. THIS ALL HAPPENED UPON PURCHASE.

PURCHASED 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ NEW, 3 YEARS AGO. AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING AND TOLD IT NEEDS A CONDENSER. PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DELIVERY DATE AVAILABLE DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF 2015 TAHOES THAT ARE WAITING FOR THIS PART. WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND THE NUMBER IS ASTONISHING. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW MODEL AND FIRST YEAR OFFERED FROM CHEVY SO THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. CAR WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND WAS TOLD PART WOULD BE OVER $2000!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND MY WIFE LOOKED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND SAW THE APPLIQUE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BEHIND THE WINDOW (WHERE THE B PILLAR IS) WAS LOOSE AND FLAPPING IN THE WIND. I HAD SOME TAPE IN THE VEHICLE SO I PULLED TO THE SIDE, TAPED IT DOWN, AND CONTINUED DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TAHOE. THE DEALER SAID THE DESIGN OF THE APPLIQUE ATTACHMENT WAS POORLY DONE AND WHEN THEY REPLACE THEM THEY NOW USE A STRONGER ATTACHMENT. THE DEALER FOUND 2 OTHER APPLIQUES LOOSE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING THEM AS WELL BEFORE THEY FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE TO SOMEONE BEHIND MY TAHOE.

THE EXTERIOR SIDE PANEL THAT SEPARATE FRONT AND BACK OF TAHOE THREATENS TO FLY OFF DURING DRIVING. IT'S PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM 50+ MILES PER HOUR. IT'S AS IF WIND IS GETTING UNDER THEM AND ITS ALWAYS A CONCERN THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OFF. WE OFTEN ARE STOPPING AND HITTING IT BACK IN PLACE. IF IT COME OFF IT WILL BE A $130-180 PIECE EACH SIDE AND COSMETICALLY UGLY FOR OUR VEHICLE AND A DANGER TO OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES AS A FLYING OBJECT. PLEASE RECALL THIS AS WE ARE HEARING FROM DEALERSHIPS IT IS A COMMON PART COMING OFF OF THE TAHOES. IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST ONCE.

THE AC CONDENSER HAS A LEAK AND THERE IS NO OPTION FOR A REPLACEMENT CONDENSER AS THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA AND COULD TAKE UP TO 120 DAYS TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. SO GM EXPECTS MY FAMILY OF 5 WHICH INCLUDES 3 KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 8 TO DRIVE A VEHICLE FOR AN ENTIRE SUMMER IN SOUTH CAROLINA WITH NO AC.
