UNKNOWN OR OTHER
the radio, the vehicle will just completely shut down, and stop in the middle of driving. the vehicle has been to repair person, who can't seem to find out what is happening. I have not taken it to a Chevy dealership this time, nothing has been inspected by police or insurance. no crash has happened, yet!!!!!! just before the engine would cut off, the stabilitrack would light up, but that is because of no steering during the time the engine shut down. It take the vehicle about 3 seconds to 1 minute for the vehicle reset and restart. this is very dangerous because I could get into an accident. the mechanic I took my SUV to couldn't find a code to repair the issue. there is definitely something wrong with my SUV

SERVICE BRAKES
When trying to brake the Tahoe seems to not want to stop. The Tahoe comes to a rolling stop or like it is in sand trying to stop. It eventually stops but not when you want it to. Happens more at low speeds then high speeds.. no lights have indicated a problem. And doesn’t do it all the time but you as a driver can’t trust the brakes! I have had my mechanic look at it he can’t find a problem because when he drives it the Tahoe won’t do it for him. Hasn’t been in an accident yet

POWER TRAIN
While driving on the highway I notice the rpm’s were high and the vehicle wasn’t going anywhere so I had to pull over from the middle lane to the side of the road I. Busy traffic gladly I mad it over safely without getting hit. After I pulled over the service engine light come on and the transmission temperature was high. After the vehicle cooled down and I was able to me the shifting was terrible it would jerk while shifting. So I called aamco transmission and they said I needed a transmission replacement. This is not the first Chevrolet Tahoe I have had that done this my 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe done the same thing and needed a transmission. The repair cost is at $5500.00.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I was constantly smelling a strong odor of gas coming from the inside/outside of my 2015 Chevy Tahoe. When I purchased the vehicle in 10/23 everything appeared fine. I researched the internet to determine what the problem could be & found dozens of similar situations. People saying the fuel line rubs the undercarriage of the vehicle causing a pin hole size in the fuel line causing it to leak gas. Currently my vehicle is in the shop and the problem is TBD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On Wednesday, 11/15/23, I was sitting in my vehicle while it was parked and running for several minutes. After a few minutes, the alert chime went off and the message "Service Trailer Brake System" was displayed on the dash notifications. This alert persisted for several minutes. Since this initial incident, the same alert has displayed 3 or 4 more times, but while driving. It repeats persistently, causing a major distraction, blocking my speedometer, and disabling bluetooth features. I nearly wrecked because of the distraction and have not been able to tow my trailer because of the risk of of the trailer brakes not working. I have an appointment scheduled with my mechanic on 11/28/23 to get this repaired, but have recently learned of several incidents of this same alert from other GM vehicle owners. This seems to be a defective wire harness and needs to be recalled as it is unsafe and renders the vehicle useless for many intended purposes.

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving the breaks failed to work. Then when I started pumping the brakes again it took longer than normal to respond and I had to press really hard. I was only going a few miles per hour in a parking lot. Now 5 days later it's happening all the time. It's also making a click noise when I press the pedal.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The high pressure fuel line from the fuel pump to engine sustained a pinhole leak over the fuel tank. Fuel leaked over top of tank and ran down front drivers side front of tank. Discovered the leak after noticing strong fuel odor inside vehicle. Took to shop. The fuel line is installed as so it will rub undercarriage of vehicle. This is what happened to mine. This is a factory install and the lines are doomed to fail because of this. The excessive contact rubs holes into the lines. This seems to be a common problem with the 2015, according to my research. There are hundreds of these same complaints with this year listed all over repair sites on the internet. I believe this needs looked into, as flammable fuel leaking suddenly can be a hazard.
