ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
We purchased this vehicle on 11/28/20, and on 12/10/20 began receiving multiple error messages and loss of power on the accelerator. Shortly after the error messages began I was no longer to even start the vehicle. It needed to be towed to the dealer and eventually required a full engine replacement, and was out of service for 22 days. On 5/19/21 I was getting on the highway with my wife and 3 young children and began receiving many of the same error messages. The car was brought to the dealership the following day and I found out that this was another major engine issue. They need to order several parts, one of which is on backorder. As of 5/24 it has been out of service for an additional 5 days, bringing the total up to 27 days out of service, and there are currently 4800 miles on the car.

Similar to many other complaints previously filed, the dash board on my 2014 Tahoe has numerous cracks. The cracks were first identified in April 2018 and have continued to grow in size and number. It has been inspected by a Riverside Chevrolet in Wetumpka, AL but this is not a part of a current safety recall. There is significant and growing concern that if the vehicle is involved in an accident that the passenger-side airbag will not work properly (having been cut by sharp pieces of the broken dash) or will propel pieces of the dash toward the occupants of the vehicle. This needs to be investigated so that GM will be forced to issue a safety recall for this known problem.

WHEELS:RIM
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle would shake violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the front-end alignment was performed however, the failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the recurring failure and informed the contact to replace the tires. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where the tires were replaced however, the failure persisted. The contact then contacted the first dealer and was informed by the dealer that the failure may be due to the front passenger's side bent rim and needed to take it to a rim specialist to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Noticed a strong gas odor when exiting the vehicle. Upon looking the at the vehicle from top to bottom I discovered that there was gas dripping from the gas tank. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told that a fuel line on top of the tank was cracked and needed to be replaced. Since this seemed like a pretty serious safety issue I did some online research hoping to discover a recall, but didn't find any open ones. What I did find was a lot of people saying that this same issue had happened to them, and is a result of a design flaw where the fuel line on top of the tank is too close the the chassis and over time vibrations wear a hole into the line. Since this is such a serious safety issue I feel that that it should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Engine service light came on May 7th during a trip which made the vehicle run sporadically and missing which then caused the traction control light to come on as well. When we took the vehicle to the dealership they said that a lifter had stuck and it had ruined the camshaft. Repairs would be 5800.00. We took the vehicle to another dealership and they gave us a better price and said that two other vehicles were in the shop in front of our vehicle for the same issue and some were newer 2019 or later vehicles and that this was a common problem because of defective parts. They said that the new parts were better and should work without the same problem. We do not have our vehicle back yet, I expect it back in a couple days because they had to order the parts. If this is a common problem, the dealerships know what is wrong and how to fix the problem, why is Chevrolet not letting owners know and take care of the problem before they fail and we end up with a large invoice. I had a 2007 Tahoe that had an oil consumption problem that everyone knew about and no one tried to get the problem fixed. This Tahoe was purchased to take on trips. The vehicle stays in a garage full time, only has 38700 miles on the engine and I have had nothing but problems since it was purchased. During one trip two spark plugs were dead, had to be replaced. One trip the battery was dead so I had to get a battery maintainer and keep on the engine battery. Trip to Florida the front window leaked and after that one stationary side window leaked. One trip the rear air conditioner did not work the first time it was used because it was not grounded. I have already decided to never buy another Chevrolet product in the future even though i have not used anything else since getting out of college in 1973. Enough is enough.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON I-10 IN SOUTHWEST ARIZONA AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL WHEN BOTH HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT; VISIBILITY WAS SUDDENLY ZERO. I PULLED BACK ON THE BRIGHT LEVER AND MY BRIGHTS CAME ON GIVING ME VISION. I CHECKED THE LIGHTS KNOB AND THE LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF. I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AND THEY FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. ON ANALYSIS LATER I THINK WHEN I MOVED MY FLEXED KNEE TOWARD THE DOOR MY KNEE CONTACTED THE LOWER PART OF THE LIGHT KNOB AND TURNED THE LIGHTS TO THE OFF POSITION. THE LIGHTS KNOB IS LOWER AND CLOSER TO THE CENTER COMPARED TO OTHER PREVIOUS TAHOES I HAVE OWNED MAKING IT EASIER FOR THE DRIVER'S KNEE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE LIGHTS KNOB SO THE LIGHTS CAN ACCIDENTLY BE TURNED OFF. I SOLVED THE ZERO VISIBILITY IN A FEW SECONDS. IF IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME 5 OR 10 OR MORE SECONDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. DRIVERS OF THIS 2021 TAHOE SHOULD BE WARNED THAT THEIR KNEE COULD TURN THEIR LIGHTS OFF AND THAT IF THAT DOES HAPPEN PULLING THE BRIGHT LEVER OR TURNING THE LIGHT KNOB BACK ON CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN THE FUTURE THIS LIGHT KNOB SHOULD BE CHANGED; PUTTING IT HIGHER AND MORE TOWARD THE DOOR WOULD BE BETTER OR ANYWHERE IT CAN'T BE ACCIDENTLY TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED! PLEASE WARN THE DRIVERS OF THE 2021 TAHOE AND ANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR LIGHT SWITCH DESIGNS AND MAKE CORRECTIONS WITH THE LIGHT KNOB IN THE 2021 TAHOE AND VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR DESIGNED LIGHT SWITCHES.

ENGINE
ON APRIL 3, 2021 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00PM, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA (ON A TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO FLORIDA) WITH MY FAMILY OF 5 (TWO ADULTS AND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN, INCLUDING MY INFANT SON) OUT OF NOWHERE MY BRAND NEW TAHOE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ENGINE STARTING POPPING AND SPUTTERING AS IF IT WERE GOING TO GIVE OUT COMPLETELY. THIS OCCURRED ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS SURROUNDED BY MANY OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION AND I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT THE NEAREST SAFE LOCATION, WHICH WAS A WENDY'S RESTAURANT. AT THE TIME THAT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT OCCURRED, MY BRAND NEW 2021 CHEVROLET TAHOE RST, WHICH I HAD OWNED FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS, HAD ONLY 5334 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES DETECTED AND THAT I SHOULD "TAKE IT EASY" AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE ENGINE CONTINUED SHAKING AND SPUTTERING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN STOPPED. WE WENT TO ATLANTA TO MEET WITH FAMILY AND PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT BEGAN SHAKING AND SPUTTERING AGAIN LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW AND THE ELECTRIC PANEL ON THE CAR DISPLAYED A NUMBER OF ERRORS. I CONTACTED ONSTAR AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS ENGINE TROUBLE AND I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN MY CAR BACK. I HAVE INITIATED A LEMON CLAIM WITH GM BUT THEY HAVE SAID THERE'S A BACKLOG AND HAVE NO ETA ON WHEN THIS ISSUE IS TO BE RESOLVED. MEANWHILE, MY FAMILY IS OUT OF A VEHICLE AND I AM STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE FOR AN $80,000 BRAND NEW CAR THAT I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO AND THAT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS I'VE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE HELP.

DASH CRACKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT. EVERY ONE I HAVE SEEN DOES THIS. THEY CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG ORIGINALLY, WHICH MINE IS. IT IS BEGINNING TO CRACK IN OTHER PLACES. THE SHARP EDGES HAVE CUT MY FINGER BEFORE WHILE JUST WIPING THE DASH. THE SHARP EDGES COULD ALSO CUT INTO ELECTRICAL WIRES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND STORED INDOORS AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE SHARP CRACKED EDGES LIKE THIS FROM NORMAL USE.

RADIO MY LINK SWITCHES AND CAUSES YOUR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE SCREEN SWITCHED NAVIGATION, RADIO, PHONE LINKS AND CAUSES MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND HAS CAUSED ME TO BE STARTLED AND DISTRACTED. IT HAPPENS WHILE MOVING AND STATIONARY. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY SOME DAYS THEN CONSTANT OTHER DAYS AND REQUIRES YOU TO POWER-DOWN THE MY LINK TO NOT BE DISTRACTED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LAST YEAR AROUND APRIL 2020 I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED.OVER THE LAST YEAR ANOTHER CRACK FORMED ON THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE LOCATED WHERE THE AIR BAG IS AND THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER HAS CRACKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER GOING DOWN TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS BEGINNING TO SPLIT INTO 3 SEPARATE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, SO I KNOW THE HEAT FROM THE SUN DID NOT CAUSE MY DASH TO CRACK IN 3 SEPARATE PLACES. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. SO I DECIDED TO EDUCATE MYSELF ON THE RECALL AND AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THEIR VEHICLE'S DASH CRACKING AS WELL.. LETS SEE, FAULTY AIR BAGS ALONG WITH CRACKED DASHES WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED GUESS ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE. GUESS IT WON'T BE A COINCIDENCE WHEN THE FAULTY AIR BAG GOES OFF AND THE CRACKED PLASTIC DASH GOES FLYING AND SEVERALLY INJURES OR CAUSES DEATH TO A LOVED ONE. I WONDER HOW MANY DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN INJURED OR ARE DECEASED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
