SERVICE BRAKES
The trailer brake system alert is going off twice in a row every 45 seconds to one minute. The chiming is highly distracting while driving and seems to be a wiring issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
After a 7 hour road trip and returning to local stop and go travel in our hometown, the brakes started vibrating and the brake pedal then went hard. It took a severe downward foot thrust to get the vehicle to stop and even then still continued to roll forward a few feet. The brakes remained hard thereafter and not safe to drive- unable to brake at that point. Luckily we were not in traffic at that time or still on our road trip otherwise I am sure there would have been a serious wreck or fatality. Dealership supposedly took care of the recall repair for the vacuum pump previously but apparently their action was not sufficient. What am I supposed to do about it now? Thank you.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Trailer brake service message constantly dinging and you can’t dismiss the message. Dealership replaced a fuse and thought they fixed it and by the next day the message was back and dinging non stop. It is so distracting it’s almost unsafe to drive. Can’t see my speed or anything on my dash because the message will not go away and the dinging noise is unbearable.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Dome lights keep flickering. Not specific to any light. All of them flash sporadically. Looks like a camera flash at night. It is beyond distracting at night and the dealership could not find what is causing it to happen. It is making driving at night dangerous because it is distracting because it can sometimes flash non stop like a strobe light.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle has stalled three times since I bought it a week ago. I will be driving and the engine will stall, putting the vehicle into neutral gear. The dashboard will then instruct me to press the power button, and when I do the vehicle restarts and will be in park. It has happened once while driving on the interstate and twice while making turns into oncoming traffic. When I go to accelerate there will be no acceleration, the vehicle will just be in neutral with no warning.

SERVICE BRAKES
Brake assist problems. When stopping/slow braking while being in heavy traffic, or drive thru, the brakes will vibrate and will not come to a complete stop without it rolling, almost into another vehicle. The brake petal will be stiff and the vehicle will continue to roll. This happens a lot, but seems to only happen during stop/start, bumper to bumper situations.

The dash board is completely falling apart. There are now 5 cracks and I am afraid that this could be a very dangerous situation. Apparently, there are many trucks like mine that have the same problem, but no action has been taken.

SUSPENSION
2016 Tahoe with 57,000 miles. All 4 of the shocks are locked up. The truck bumps very hard with no give making control at high speeds dangerous. This problem is known to Chevrolet if you look at the reviews but nothing is done to recall or fix. Instead they expect the customer to discover it and pay $4,000 to replace. I discovered because of bad situation on the highway. Are they going to wait until someone is killed? Chevrolet should not only replace them in recall but should pay all customer back for their costs.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
There is a trailer brake warning that comes up, sometimes 10 times in a single mile of driving on the freeway. It beeps very loud and I cannot hear anything else. It is distracting to drive and I am unable to shut it off, I can only dismiss. I am now not sure if I can tow with my Tahoe because I fear there is something wrong with the trailer brake system. It is loud enough that if something else was wrong, I may not be able to hear it happening with the warning sound going off so often. I don't know exactly what is going on but my best guess is that it is either with the wiring, as this happens when I am not towing, or there is a sensor of some sort that is faulty. In any case, I don't think it is safe to tow because of potential hazards of the trailer brakes not working, or even worse, the trailer brakes locking up and me causing an accident.
