STEERING
OCCASIONAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS EXPERIENCED EARLIER IN WEEK WHICH RESULTED IN A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING VEHICLES WHILE WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER NEAR ON UPCOMING SCHOOL AREA AND INTERSECTION RESULTED IN THE CAR STAYING ON A STRAIGHT PATH DURING A TURN AROUND 20-25 MPH UNTIL MY WIFE COULD LUCKILY MUSCLING THROUGH THE STEERING TO STRAIGHTEN VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH FAILING OR FAILED POWER STEERING RACK BUT A PART WAS NOT IN STOCK. THE 2016 LTZ TAHOE HAS NOW LOST COMPLETE POWER STEERING ABILITIES AS WE WAIT FOR DEALER TO OBTAIN OEM REPLACEMENT PART.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
GPS ANTENNA LEAKED WHILE PARKED IN RAIN. SATURATED HEAD LINER, STEERING WHEEL, AND DRIVER SEAT. WATER PUDDLED IN DRIVER FLOOR MAT. GPS SIGNAL LOST UNTIL THINGS DRIED OUT. ALSO HAS IMPACTED COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN LAST 2 MONTHS. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BECAUSE VEHICLE IS GARAGED MOST TIMES. DOESN'T OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DURING RAIN, ONLY WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND WATER CAN STREAM IN THROUGH GAP ON BACKSIDE OF ANTENNA AND ENTER THE DEFECTIVE INNER SEAL. I HAVE SEEN MANY ACCOUNTS OF THIS ON FORUMS. GM NEEDS TO CONDUCT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS ISSUE. IT JUST NEVER DRIES UP AND HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT. ALL THIS WATER BLOCKS THE HEADLIGHTS FROM WORKING PROPERLY AND SHINING CORRECTLY. IT INTERFERES WITH THE SAFETY OF MY HEADLIGHTS. I READ SEVERAL BLOGS OF OTHER TAHOE'S IN THIS AGE GROUP OF 2015, 2016 THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY FRUSTRATING ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS FOR $750 EACH THIS SOON. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING WHILE IN DRIVE. REVS HIGH BUT DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR NEARLY LEAVING ME STRAINED AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED. WOULD STRUGGLE TO GET UP TO SPEED WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. I BOUGHT VEHICLE USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 85K MILES IN APRIL 2019 AND PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 90K MILES ON NOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT CHEVY DEALER IN IMLAY CITY, MICHIGAN ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND THEY HAVE YET TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I'VE USED THIS VEHICLE TO TOW MY BOAT. WHEN IN REVERSE AND BACKING BOAT INTO WATER AT BOAT RAMP I'VE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND IT SEEMS TO TAKE A SECOND OR TWO FOR THE BRAKES TO REACT MAKING IT FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING IN REVERSE. NOT SURE IF THIS AN ISSUE WITH THE RECENT BRAKE RECALL SEPT 2019 OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED, WHEN PUT IN REVERSE TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES DO NOT ACTIVATE AND BARELY CAN GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. . IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. FEEL LIKE I CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED EVEN PRESSING OR PUMPING THE BEAKES!! IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING. VERY SCARY! WHEN I SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE TO GO FORWARD THEY WORK JUST FINE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS PARKED. WE GOT IN & SHUT THE DOORS. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, THE DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. IT WAS WELL OVER 100 DEGREES IN THE CAR. WE WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH 911, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO RELEASE THE DOOR LOCKS AND WE ESCAPED. THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE OPENED. EVIDENTLY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE BATTERY WAS LOW. HAVING DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND BE DISABLED DUE TO A BATTERY IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.
