SERVICE BRAKES
While driving down the road at random occasions the “service trailer brake system” warning will alert us by dinging multiple time. This continues to happen more and more frequently. It will ding and alert us over and over again. The longest it has occurred was for about an hour straight. I took a couple videos/videos of this happening. After doing some research online every article I found stated that it is a wiring harness issue. It was recommended that we report this to NHTSA. I should add that we are not and have not every pulled a trailer.

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I bought Achilles desert hawk uhp 285/50/R20 tires in late 2019 from Walmart . and had them mounted in 2020 from discount tire. Within 10 months of tires being mounted I had a vibration and it was getting worse every day so I started looking at it and found I had a separated tire on the driver's side front. I put my spare on and contacted Walmart which told me sorry for your luck and there is nothing they can or will do.so I contacted discount and they said to contact Achilles tire. I did and never heard back from them. I then forgot about it until roughly 5 months ago when passenger tire was separated. Then 3 days ago the passanger rear separated and now today the driver's rear has separated. I understand 1 tire possibly 2, but to have all 4 tires separate in less than 2 years and in under 10,000 miles is mind blowing to me..I have all the tires and I filed a complaint with Walmart and Achilles after the 2nd one. I honestly don't think it's discount tires responsibly. I only had them install tires because walmart would make excuse after excuse and I got fed up with it. There should be some sort of liability to the manufacturer and to Walmart. I am asking you if it's possible to look into this. 4 tires separate in 2 years you ée⁷⁷e77⁷e⁷

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On several occasions the following warnings will pop up. Service Stabilitrack, Tighen Gas cap, Service trailer brake system, Automatic collision prep unvailable, and the check engine light will come on. Then the dashboard lights will flicker on/off, the montior will turn black, the doors will unlock and lock. It has happened when I am going 70 MPH down the freeway. And on several occassions the car engine will turn off/stall as i am either pulling into an intersection, parking spot or coming to a stop. I will take it to the shop and have the check engine code scanned/turned off and it will be fine for a week and then start again

ENGINE
The lifters failed at 18,000 miles stranded on the side of the road with 3 kids for hours. Only one side is apparently being replaced, leaving me just waiting for the other to go out. I was assured by the dealership that it would happen just would be a matter of when

POWER TRAIN
On 5/5/2022, I was driving my 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. I pulled into traffic and then traffic briefly stopped moving. When I attempted to accelerate, my truck would not move. When I tried to accelerate, my truck began to roll backwards into the traffic behind me. My truck would only move in reverse. A passerby left his vehicle to assist me with backing up off the road as much as I could due to there being a ditch next to where I was stranded. My husband attempted to back the truck out of the road completely but the truck then slid closer to the drainage ditch. Roadside assistance had to be called and my truck had to be winched out and towed to my home on a flatbed. There were no warning signs prior to this incident. There were no warning lamps, no messages, no unusual smells or sounds nor did it drive differently. The closest GM dealership was unable to assess my truck due to them being backlogged and not having any available appointments. The truck was taken to two separate mechanics that stated that I need a new transmission. One was able to do a diagnostic and stated that the code for speed sensor failure read after the 2nd attempt. When the truck was taken there for repair the speed sensor did not read but instead the main control valve body was the fault code. The repair was completed and two days later the truck would not shift between gears. I had to take my truck to another GM dealer 30 minutes away. They diagnosed my truck and stated that fault code for an irregularity in shift solenoid B showed and that there was metal shavings in the transmission fluid. I also have Onstar diagnostic checks that reported no transmission issues on 04/14/22 and 05/16/22 that there were no transmission issues as well. Now Gm is refusing to address my issues because of the mileage being over the warranty. I could have been seriously injured because my vehicle stopped in traffic with absolutely no warning signs.

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My engine light keeps coming on randomly. When this occurs, the dashboard lights blinks and I get a " steering assist" error message. Once this happens it is really hard for me to steer AND I lose acceleration as well. Imagine losing acceleration in the middle of an intersection. Also, I noticed my temperature gauge moves up & down as well. I have taken it to the dealership each time it happens and they are saying they haven't been able to replicate the issue. The engine light only stays on for a few hours or days and the problem goes away once the engine light is off. From my research, this was the same exact problems the 2015 Chevy Tahoes had as well. I don't understand why they cannot figure why I am having this issue. The engine light errors code listed alot of issues yet they still can't diagnose a problem. They have updated the system and checked all wire connections per the dealership. This is my third or fourth time complaining about this issue and this is the dealership's third or fourth time trying to diagnose the problem but they keep telling me they can't.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Technical Service Bulletin 17-NA-304 1..6 should be a recall if it involves a fuel leak. My vehicle has experienced this issue, and fuel is actively leaking (right next to the exhaust). With 2 small kids in the car everyday, and Chevy (and the NHTSA) knowing this since September, 2017, how is this not something that a consumer is notified about, and fixed by the manufacturer immediately? I would appreciate if someone could contact me to talk me through this not being a recall.

POWER TRAIN
Around 84,429 miles accelerated onto freeway and check engine light on and slow to accelerate. Try getting up to speed on an interstate without response when you slam on the gas. Went to shop, generic 700 code many things, but recommend to stop driving immediately. Continued to be be slow accelerating, changing my driving patterns to where I was not turning left unless with a turn light, or driving out of my way to make right turns ( to go Left). After a week (and calling shops) it had to be looked at and diagnosed. Took to transmission shop, Rebuilt was offered for quicker turn around, they could start ASAP. Their comment was we see a lot of this model and keep enough parts for this Tahoe to start. Also noted when dropped off 2 other models of this generation Tahoe were in the shop. And a GMC Sierra around the same period (assuming same Transmission here). Test Drive with Manager, they repair a lot of Chevy Tahoes and suburbans, and Nissans. Those keep them in business. Sister in law was there to get her Nissan Transmission Rebuilt about 3 months prior. (No Toyotas in the shop or Parking lot) I wish I had visited a Transmission shop before looking for new cars, great insight to prevent expensive repairs. After repair last week all is right (as expected when accelerating )This should be a recall at point or at least extend the warranty on the drivetrain and repairs. Just a thought with the complaints here and the Transmission shops. Should be looked at, not just on the 2017 model.

STEERING
My wife was driving everything was working fine until a message came on the dash "steering stopped Drive with care" she was mid way in a turn to get on highway when this happened if I wasn't in vehicle to grab the wheel my wife would have ended up in a wall or worst case in the canal next to 95 with my 4 year old in the car. The vehicle is currently at a chevorlet dealer in Greenacres Florida and they say the electric steering gear has stopped working.. this seams like a very unsafe system as when it stops the steering wheel is very stiff more than a old car with no power steering. I think this needs to be investigated yesterday as someone could die from this if it hasn't happened already. As of right now I no longer feel that this is a safe vehicle for my wife to be driving

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
To Whom It May Concern, I have a 2010 Tahoe LTZ which has a cracked dashboard. I have called around to get this fixed and this is very expensive at the dealership for over $1500. I had checked around and found out that this is a common issue with certain types of GM vehicles and mine is on the list. I will like for this to be replaced by GM because because this is truly a safety issue because the cracks are on the driver side near the airbags. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Purchased car on April 7, 2022 with 10 miles on it. Drove home, parked car in driveway and a few days later went to start car and no power. Car had 22 miles. Start button was stuck on on but no power and engine was off. I could not get the start button to turn off. Car towed to dealer. Dealer checked car and couldn’t find anything wrong they called GM support and checked for known issues with other 2022 Tahoes. Nothing found. Software updated. Battery has full charge. Car released. I drove car home, parked in driveway and after a few days went to start car - same issue no power. Car has 44 miles. Start button stuck in on but no power, engine off, could not turn off start button. Car towed to dealer. Dealer kept car for a week. Dealer contacted GM support. Found that battery was draining but could not find what was causing drain. Dealer replaced battery. Car released. I drove car home and so far now at 200 miles the car seems ok. I am reporting this because what if I had lost power while driving on the highway. Plus I have heard of several 2002 Tahoe owners that this is occurring. The dealer has been great. I blame this on GM for releasing a bad car.
