UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Transmission went out right at 70,000 miles!! I purchased my truck Jan 2021 certified from a chevy dealership. I have the app and everything connected to my phone. Not once did I ever get notified that anything was wrong. My truck has been broken down for a month now. I look up info to found out there's a whole lawsuit for our Transmissions!! How was this not a recall item?? The warranty won't cover it which is absolutely ridiculous. So now I'm out of a truck. With a huge bill to replace my Transmission. Literally I can send you a picture of my "chevy app" it says Transmission is 100% good to go. It's BROKEN DOWN. If maybe my app would of worked correctly I could of had my truck in the shop before the Transmission went down in the middle of me driving. There was absolutely no warning signs at all. I keep all the maintenance on my vehicle. Not one sign. I took it to a chevy dealership to get looked at. They just said it's the transmission.

SERVICE BRAKES
"Service Trailer Brake System" warning illuminates on dash repeatedly while truck is running. This warning is extremely distracting to the driver, as it does not cease. It indicates an issue with the trailer brake system, which makes it unsafe to tow anything.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving home, the the FAC, forward automatic crash, indicator light came on, I applied the brakes and watched to my dismay as my vehicle slowed down but would not stop. I applied steady hard pressure until impact with another vehicle in front of me. The FAB, forward automatic braking system never kicked in. I will contact the dealer concerning the above issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Purchased a new 2022 Tahoe from the dealer, Casey Chevrolet Newport News Virginia, in February 2022. Vehicle developed a roof leak in June. The leak caused water to pour out of the overhead console on to the dash, seat belt reels, the overhead light fixtures and on the drivers feet after running through the dash. Taken to dealer where it was in the shop for four weeks, windshield and headliner removed and a defective weld was thought to be the problem. After the next rain the same problem was evident. Returned the vehicle to dealer and headliner removed again but they were unable to determine the source of the water. The interior electronics and electrical components have been rain soaked for four months. When driving the vehicle after a rain and having water pour out of the ceiling between the driver and the windshield is unnerving and unsafe. Additionally most of the function of the controls are electronic and continuing dousing with water is a serious concern. The air bags in the A and B pillars are probably getting wet as well.

SEAT BELTS
2022 Tahoe was inspected for the announced recall. The manufacturer Chevy has no timeline for when the 3rd row seat belts will be repaired but only said we CANNOT use any of the 3rd row seats till fully repaired. I called chevy and ask them what’s the suggestion what’s if the passenger is 5 or more. Will the give rental fee or a loaner vehicle. They said no. This is totally unacceptable. GM is offering nothing to customers that purchased $74000+ vehicles from them for the very reason that they have big 3rd rows. How are families of 5 or more supposed to function in the meantime? NHTSA should exert all available pressure on GM to prioritize on-road vehicles and do it now.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
A lifter collapsed, which in turn damaged the lobes of a piston, which then damaged the camshaft...generating a repair bill of $7,100 per the dealer. The vehicle only has 69,200 miles on it. When the lifter failed, the car shuddered at stops, lost some power and made a noticeable clanking noise. When pulling out from stops, or into traffic, the car hesitated somewhat before accelerating. This creates a very dangerous situation. Also, if more lifters or the camshaft seized up at higher speeds, a driver could experience a potentially fatal situation from an uncontrollable vehicle or a fire. Research shows that Chevy/GM knew about the lifter problem on 5.3 ltr engines with their AFM system for years and sold them anyway. They apparently have never solved the problem, and it still exists today. Several class action lawsuits have been lodged against them for the lifter failure problem. Aside from the serious potential safety issues, an expensive vehicle like my Tahoe should not be expected to incur a $7,100 repair bill when it's only 4 years old and has less then 70,000 miles on it. That's ridiculous. My wife and I are both retired. We will be tapping our retirement account to pay for this shoddy Chevy product and will worry that it just might occur again, after the fix. From a safety standpoint, a stall, loss of power, or engine seizure at speed will tax our quick response reflexes. The known lifter problem is a legitimate safety situation and needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured or killed...if they haven't already. Thank you for listening.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
About five days ago, my air bag sensors came on and a strange message on the 2022 Tahoe display. It said “ Service Safety Restraint System” needs to be serviced. I received numerous messages from the app and computer system saying something is wrong. I took the Truck in to GMC Brandywine service in Brandywine, MD. I was told they couldn’t fix it and GM knows it’s an issue and may do a recall. I am riding with my son and grandkids in an Unsafe vehicle. I was told something is wrong with the computer. The way it’s communicating the issue but nothing seems right with this truck. I had this truck in service for majority of my ownership for numerous defects. This airbag sensor has had issues in Jan 2022 and now it’s back. They are not fixing these issues and could cost me or my family’s life. I will upload the invoice later. I have to get it out of the truck. I was told GM knows about these issues. But all year it’s been numerous issues and the trucks are not functional.

SUSPENSION
The 2015 Tahoe LZ is experiencing harsh ride due to the failure of the factory Air Ride system. This may have been a good idea, but it will not stand up under normal road conditions. There is no recall for this problem. Shocks leak or are bound up (frozen in place) causing bumps to be transmitted to the vehicle body. I have changed tires and the problem is still there. I have driven GM vehicles all my life (70+years) and this is the most trouble I have ever experienced with suspension components of all the GM vehicles I've owned, starting with a 1955 vehicle. A local dealer priced the repair at around $5000.00. I drove a 1983 Suburban for over 300,000 miles and never had any suspension problems, (except for normal brake wear). There seems to be a lot of owners of this vintage vehicle that have experienced this problem. Whether this is a computer problem or poor workmanship, General Motors needs to REPAIR their self-inflected problem. I worked as a line mechanic for a GM dealership in the early 80's. We never had this kind of problems before computers started to be installed on vehicles.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the transmission independently moved into park (P) and the gear shifter would not move after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle because they did not have the adequate tool to unlock the transmission. Upon receiving the tool days later, the dealer diagnosed that water had leaked into the fuel tank, which led to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they would follow up. The contact was still awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.
