SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Trailer brake system chime goes off constantly. Chevy refuses to fix the defective wire harness. It is distracting and I have no idea if my trailer brakes would properly function if i were to tow. We ranch, but have avoided using my vehicle for this reason. This has happened continuously since 2019.

POWER TRAIN
I had noticed a slight smell of antifreeze/coolant occasionally when the vehicle had aroun42,000 miles. As a diesel engine technition I knew something was wrong.I found a slight leak in thr topleft corner of the radiator were the tubes go into the tank. Contacted GM and was told the radiator was not covered under the powertrain warranty. I would only have to add about a half a quart of coolant every service at 3,500 miles. Looking online I had seen bullitins on the 2014 chevy,gmc,and caddilac half ton trucks and suv's. Now at 77,000 miles its getting much worse and GM won't do anything about it. I have ordered a new Radiator and thermostat at an approximatley $300 dollars. I Know they have a bulletin PI1513A. But GM will not help. thank you.

Airbag picture showed on dash. After several dealership appointments, the code B0014 04 was found. Driver seat airbag deployment exhibits high resistance due to faulty electrical jumper wire connections and may not deploy upon impact.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I was driving down the road at 65mph, when My transmission blew. I believe the correct term is that my torque converter went out. I basically came to a dead stop in traffic, endangering my life and my children's. My understanding is that this is a common issue with this type of transmission. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for not recalling this item.

STEERING
The steering locks up while turning. Also grinds most of the time. The steering shaft retainer in the column fails and allows the shaft bolt to rub on the lower end of the column. Has tsb PIT5312-B. But gm will not cover this. This is a huge safety concern.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'm having problems with my brake system. When I'm backing up it will slide like it don't want to stop fully. If I'm at a light and press the brakes frequently it don't want to stop and feels like it slides before coming to a complete stop. On hills it feels like it's harder to keep the SUV stopped without rolling.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased a Certified pre-owned Chevy Tahoe, in 2017, for the past year to as of 2/18/2022, the Service Trailer Brake has been chiming. It isn’t continuous majority of the time, but I know it isn’t right and often alarms me when it does chime. I do not tow trailers behind my vehicle at all. I drive to work and home, take kids to school and sporting events. .I would like to know if this has or when will this be recalled? Obviously something is setting it off??

SERVICE BRAKES
I have had my vehicle repaired and reprogrammed in May 2020 for the recall of increased brake effort and then in august of 2021 the brake booster repaired. It is Jan 2022 and I’m still having difficulty with my brakes almost rear ending or backing into vehicles when parking. This is unsafe. This is a known issue and needs to be resolved. It has been taking me so much effort to stop or it feels as the brakes are slipping not catching.

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.
