ENGINE
This 2015 Chevy Tahoe stopped without warning or warning failure indicators and continue to stop without warning, while driving on highway. Managed to drive the car slowly home. Following day the engine warning light came on after the fact. Had the car inspected by mechanic who indicated that the transmission/torque converter had failed. This mechanic has reported seeing the same issue with other Chevy Tahoes in same and similar years. Chevy has not addressed the safety hazard this transmission poses to both the driver and drivers behind the vehicle when it abruptly comes to a stop on a busy road. The car was just serviced at dealer in past month without any recommended repairs. The engine warning indicator did not work the entire time the car was whistling, stopping and jerking. Chevy should have issued a recall for this failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2015 Tahoe LTZ keeps displaying a " trailer service brake system" The vehicle has also cut off while driving and the radio screen and windows lock up unable to control. The vehicle will also not turn on until something about rolling the driver side window down and up to allow functionality. The battery has been replaced and have had the truck carefully electronically examined with not direct apparent faults. I'm told the wire harness between the body control modules is defective and or engineered of low quality with poor connections and wires. This is a critical unsafe hazard that needs immediate attention before someone gets hurt.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe with 90,000 miles needs a new camshaft and all 16 lifters need to be replaced. There was no forewarning about this huge problem. Literally, one day I was out in my car, and the accelerator suddenly stopped working for a while. Then, all of a sudden there was a hard jerk, and it sped up on its own. When I finally found a safe spot to pull over I went to push on the brakes and the entire car just started shaking. My poor children were terrified as this could’ve turned into a terrible accident for me and the other drivers around me. I immediately called my local mechanic and was told to bring it in immediately. On my way there the service indicator lamp came on. Upon inspection by my mechanic I was told I need a whole new engine. I have not had it repaired because I cannot afford to do so. I would be more than happy to allow someone to come and inspect it upon request. Apparently this is a huge problem with GM vehicles that GM is completely choosing to ignore.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Check engine light came on after vehicle starting losing power in steering column. Speedometer was moving up and down with some other gauges doing the same simultaneously. The vehicle provided warning of stabilitrak after dismissed, it gave another warning stating, “Steering Assist is Reduced Drive with Care.” It became harder to accelerate and very distracting as the stabilitrak error continued to pop up with the speedometer and other gauges, such as RPM, going up and down continuously. These gauges would then stop working altogether then start to work briefly. Then, the gauges would continue to malfunction by going up and down with the stabilitrak error on screen. I got off the interstate and I have having issues with acceleration from first gear. Vehicle was hesitating which was terrifying. It was failing to engage. Transmission fluid rose from 187 to 208 degrees during a brief time period on the screen. Could not use the M gear at all.

After replacing, message came up “power steering drive with care”. Steering went completely hard, no other messages or absolutely any lights on dash.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel feed hose that tracked on top of the gas tank rubs against a portion of the tank and a pinhole sized hole gets created. Anytime the vehicle is on or fuel pump pressurizes the line, fuel is sprayed all beneath the vehicle. Gm has made a “fix” to the line by adding a shroud to the updated part. Part number 84200271 is the updated part. I contacted Martin Chevrolet in crystal lake Illinois and was advised since my vehicle was out of warranty nothing was covered. Spraying fuel due to bad engeeniering is as unsafe as it gets.

SERVICE BRAKES
My taheo keeps giving a warning of Trailer Break System. That started going off out of no where the first time it start I was almost to where I was going so just turned vehicle off. It stated beeping and giving me the same warning have had my breaks changed thought it would fix the problem. It continues to beep every couple seconds and continues to say Trailer Break System. Then read the reason this continues to happen is Wire Harness is defective. It is a safety risk because it is very distracting with the alert chime for the driver

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Came home and could smell gas. Had just filled up so ignored it. Next day, just pulling into driveway, husband could see gas pouring out the bottom below the drivers seat area.. fuel line split. Had to have it towed to dealership and paid nearly a grand to get that repaired. Warranty wouldn’t cover it..

SERVICE BRAKES
I’m pretty sure it’s the vacuum for the breaks because when I park if I put my foot on the brake multiple times it gets stiff solid. But once I put the rpm’s up the brakes get better. I almost hit a parked car because of this because I couldn’t stop
