MY 2017 TAHOE FELT LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING LAST NIGHT(3/11/21), I WAS THINKING IT COULD BE BAD GAS; HOWEVER, THIS MORNING WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK IT DROVE GOOD FOR ABOUT 2 MILES THEN IT STARTED SKIPPING AGAIN, MAKING A FUNNY NOISE WHEN I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP SIGN, IT DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. RPM'S STAY THE SAME.....SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR. THESE VEHICLES COST TOO MUCH FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING!

MY 2017 TAHOE IS JERKING, NOT GOING INTO OVERDRIVE SMOOTHLY, NOT ACCELERATING EASILY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR MODEL HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND ALSO CALLED GMC BUT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. WITH THE COST OF THESE VEHICLES THERE SHOULD BE NO ISSUES ON A FAIRLY NEW MODEL AND FROM THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS I HAVE READ HERE GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS.

MY 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE FELT VERY STIFF WHILE ACCELERATING AND STARTED SUDDENLY JERKING AND BACKFIRING WHILE IN MOTION AS IF WE WERE REAR-ENDED. IT WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS STUCK OR STRUGGLING TO SHIFT GEARS AND BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON . WE TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THINKING IT WAS A MINOR ISSUE BEING STILL FAIRLY NEW BUT WAS TOLD THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY A 3 YEAR OLD CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES THAT'S BARELY BEEN DRIVEN DUE TO COVID NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS THESE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS COULD CREATE UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR OTHER OWNERS.

I NOTICED THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUES SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GERRY LANE CHEVY IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA) AND THEY TRIED FIXING IT BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE SECOND ATTEMPTED 'WORKED' OR AT LEAST THEY SAID IT DID. I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT AND HAVE SINCE THE MOMENT I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT ME PAYING THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR 4 HOURS AT 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND. THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. THE NEXT DAY, THE BRAKES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION ON THE DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SINCE THE FAILURE, HE HAD EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITH THE SAME WARNING LIGHT FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TITUS-WILL CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (2425 CARRIAGE LOOP SW, OLYMPIA, WA 98502) AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. THE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,300.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON MY WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 10 MILES OUT I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,IT WASN'T SHIFTING RIGHT AND AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD STAY ON ONE GEAR TOO LONG AND THE RPM WOULD STAY AT 4500RPM BEFORE IT SHIFTS AND THIS IS WHILE CRUISING AT 65MPH. AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE I WOULD HEAR A HUMMING/WHISTLING SOUND FROM WITHIN AND I COULDN'T GO PAST 70MPH. THEN THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP SIGN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY MY TAHOE WOULD HESITATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. WHEN I GOT TO THE PARKING LOT I TRIED TO BACK-IN TO PARKING SPACE AND MY TAHOE WOULD NOT GO ON REVERSE. AND WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT,WHEN I PUT IT ON DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENS AND AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AND JERKED IT FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS SO MUCH SO,THAT THE REAR TIRES EVEN SCREECHED A BIT! IT SCARED THE SH*# OUT OF ME. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT WAS DONE TO RECTIFY IT.

I WAS DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM HOME ONE MORNING AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING FUNNY LIKE IT WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO OUR LOCAL CHEVEROLET DEALER AND BY THE TIME I PULLED IN WHICH WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES THE TRANSMISSION TEMP WAS VERY HIGH AND WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS AT ALL. THEY EVALUATED IT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THEY COULD JUST FLUSH TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS ONLY A 2017 AND NOT AN OLDER VEHICLE BUT DETERMINED IT NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. COULD HAVE CAUSED UNSAFE CONDITIONS IF IT WOULD HAVE JUST QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OXIDIZING. IT IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH, PATCHY, AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. WE NOTICED IT DETERIORATING WHEN WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PAINT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AS I AM FINDING IN MY RESEARCH OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL. PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN BODY WORK HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND COLOR.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL (N192268490) ON MY SUV THAT KNOWINGLY DOES HAVE ISSUES WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE BREAKS WILL NOT STOP MY VEHICLE PROPERLY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO THE LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND I OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND STILL REMAINS A DRIVING ISSUE AND SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE DECEMBER 2019, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE 2 LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. BOTH LOCATIONS TOLD ME THE SOFTWARE IS NOT UPDATED PROPERLY THEREFORE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT EXCEPT RECALL. AFTER MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET THE RECALL FIXED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND A CASE NUMBER WAS ISSUED (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 9-5847462774). I COMMUNICATED FREQUENTLY WITH CHEVROLET ON RESOLVING THE RECALL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE END RESULT, I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE ISSUE IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED AND THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDED AND THEY WERE UNCERTAIN IF/WHEN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SINCE THE CASE WITH CHEVROLET HAS BEEN OPENED, I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS AND THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS RECALL, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN VIA EMAIL AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO REPLY BACK OR RETURN PHONE CALL. IS THIS HOW A PERSON, WITH A FAMILY, THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL ON A VEHICLE SHOULD BE TREATED? ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE VACUUM LINE FOR THE BRAKES IN MY CHEVROLET TAHOE KNOWINGLY DO NOT SEAL AND THE BRAKES DO NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED.
