POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAHOE FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT GEARS WHEN IT'S NOT GOING ABOVE 25MPH. IT'S HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE TAHOE IS PUT INTO GEAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME THOUGH. IT GOES AWAY AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S NO POWER TO THE ENGINE EVEN WHEN ITS IN MOTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKES BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE ITS STUTTERING, LIKE ITS MISFIRING, BUT I'VE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY'RE FINE. THERE'S ALSO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT THE MECHANICS I'VE TAKEN IT TO CAN'T DECIPHER WHY ITS ON. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER WAS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. I'VE HAD THE TAHOE FOR 4 YEARS NOW.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN MARCH 2021 OF A GM RECALL N212328800. I PROMPTLY CONTACTED MY GM DEALER. MY GM DEALER ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART & WE DROPPED OFF THE CAR. AN HOUR LATER, WE WERE TOLD THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE & WE ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE CAR. WHEN SIGNING THE PAPERWORK, WE NOTICED A NOTE INDICATING THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ON ARRIVAL. WE IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT TO THE CAR AND FOUND 2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT CRACKED ON ARRIVAL. I HAD JUST WIPED OFF THE DASH THAT MORNING PRIOR TO BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALER. WE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAID THEY TOOK PICTURES AND HAD VIDEO. WE ASKED TO SEE SAID PICTURES AND VIDEO & ONCE THEY WENT LOOKING FOR THEM, THEY TOLD US THEY DID NOT SAVE FOR SOME REASON. WE PUSHED THE ISSUE FURTHER WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CRACKED DASH THAT OCCURRED DURING THE AIRBAG REPAIR. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY DASHBOARD. THEY DID NOT TELL US AT ANY POINT PRIOR TO THE REPAIR THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF HAZARD THIS MAY BE TO US IN THE FUTURE BUT THE RESALE VALUE JUST TOOK A HIT.I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR SIMILAR TYPES OF DAMAGE FROM THIS TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I AM FOLLOWING PROTOCOL BY REPORTING THIS TO YOU.

POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THROUGH BIRMINGHAM, AL AND MY 2017 CHEVY TAHOE LT LOST POWER. THE TRANSMISSION HAD ONE INSTANCE OF A HARD SHIFT DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING, THEN JUST FAILED. SHE WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY, TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. HAD IT TOWED TO HENDRICKS CHEVY AND THEY FOUND BURNT TRANNY FLUID AND INDICATED THE PLANETARY GEAR APPEARED DAMAGED. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY HIGHWAY MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE AT NO CHARGE AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE MULTIPLE TAHOES IN THE SAME SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A CHEVY FAN ALL OF MY LIFE BUT NOW RETHINKING THAT AS THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THE CODE YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR IS THE P0796 CODE, WHICH IS A FLUID PRESSURE FAILURE. IF YOU RECEIVE THIS CODE, YOU ARE LIKELY GOING TO HAVE TO PAT 4-6K FOR A TRANSMISSION. STEP UP TO THE PLATE CHEVY AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.

SEAT BELTS
I HAD A INCIDENT ALMOST TRAGEDY YESTERDAY INSIDE MY TAHOE , PARKED ON MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY. MY KID 7 YEARS OLD WAS INSIDE TRUCK PLAYING AND SOMEHOW HE GOT BELT TANGLED AROUND HIS NECK WITH CAR SEAT BELT THE ONE THAT HANGS FROM ROOF USED FOR CAR SEAT. LUCKILY ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS NOTICED IN TIME TO LET ME KNOW I COULD NOT RELEASE BELT (I GUESS CHILD PROOF),SO I HAD TO CUT IT TO RELEASE MY SON. THANK GOD HE OK. I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS SITUATION SO THEY CAN CORRECT AND AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING TO ANOTHER PERSON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH ABOUT 140000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MONTH I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO. IT HAD AN ISSUE PLAYING CLEARLY. THEN THE DISPLAY SCREEN STARTED JUMPING AND MOVING THROUGH DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ITS OWN. JUST RECENTLY, TWO MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED IS WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THIS TIME IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY THREE TIMES IN A ROW. I THINK I PURCHASED A BAD CAR AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH IT UNTIL I CAN GET ENOUGH MONEY TO SELL IT OR TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR UNSAFE AIRBAGS, BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL BE FIXED. SO MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING IN A VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE US A REPAIR DATE. THE DEALER JUST SAID TO TRY AND DRIVE SAFELY. GM SAID THEY ARE PRIORITIZING THE REPAIRS AND SCIENCE WE LIVE IN A SMALLER CITY DOES THAT MEAN WE ARE LAST. THE TAHOE IS A 2012 SO THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN FIXED MY TRUCK IN 2 WEEKS FROM THE TIME I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL IF THEY DON'T FIX THE ISSUE. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ONE WHO CARES!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, NOT THE LIVES.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 10 MPH) BRAKES (ABS AND POWER ASSIST) HAVE FAILED WHEN IN REVERSE ON SLIGHT INCLINE. MOST RECENTLY (4/20/2021) THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED WHEN MOVING FORWARD, AT APPROXIMATELY 5-7 MPH, WHILE ON APPROX 8% DOWNHIL GRADE. THE ROAD SURFACE WAS NON-PAVED, MIXED DIRT/GRAVEL. THIS ISSUE OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES, HOWEVER, DURING 2 OF THE OCCURANCES THE VEHICLES WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE CONTINUED OVER THE EDGE OF ROAD INTO CANYO IF NOT FOR AN EXTREME CHOICE FORWARD PATH TO NAVIGATE THURN. THIS "ROAD" WAS THE WHITE RIM ROAD IN CANYON LANDS NATIONAL PARK, UTAH.

POWER TRAIN
AT APPROXIMATELY 90 THOUSAND MILES THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 TAHOE PREMIER WENT OUT AND WE HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TAHOE TO LURCH TO THE SLOW LANE AND OFF OF THE ROAD. TRACTOR TRAILERS WERE HAVING TO SWITCH TO THE SLOW LANE AND BACK TO THE FAST LANE TO GET AROUND US AND BACK INTO THE PROPER LANE BECAUSE THE HIGHWAY HAD THE RIGHT SLOW LANE SHUT DOWN. NO SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I DID NOT NOTICE ANY HARD SHIFTING OR OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE COST FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND LABOR WAS AROUND $4,500.

SEATS, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FRONT DASH HAS CRACKED PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY IN 2 PLACES. THIS OCCURRED FROM THE SUN WITH NO OTHER FACTORS COMING INTO PLAY. THE DRIVER SEAT FABRIC DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SEAT. APPEARS IT IS MISSING A CLIP OR A POOR DESIGN THAT DOES NOT SECURE LOWER FABRIC SECURE TO THE SEAT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL OVER. NOT SURE IF IT'S IN THE STEERING COLUMN ITSELF OR FROM ANOTHER PIECE/FABRICATION MALFUNCTION.

BRAKES HARD TO PUSH AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS. LIKE IN PARKING LOTS, RED LIGHTS OR AT A DRIVE THRU. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN THE ANTILOCK BREAKING SYSTEM KICKS IN. THIS IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TAKE A FARTHER DISTANCE TO STOP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ONLY 6900 MILES. BATTERY FINE, LIGHTS AND RADIO WORK, WINDOWS AND TAILGATE WORK. CAR TURNS OVER, BUT JUST WON'T START. READ MANUAL, DID EVERYTHING SUGGESTED. CLEARLY AN ELECTRONIC ERROR. AND, BECAUSE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED, IT COULD NOT BE PUT IN NEUTRAL. TOW DRIVER HAD TO DRAG CAR ACROSS PAVEMENT ON FLATBED. COULD NOT BE GOOD FOR BRAKES OR ANYTHING ELSE DOWN BELOW. WHEN ARRIVED AT DEALERSHIP, COULD NOT GET TAHOE OFF FLATBED. WINCH ONLY PULLS UP ONTO FLATBED, DOES NOT PUSH BACKWARDS. OILED THE FLATBED AND SHOOK THE ENTIRE TOW TRUCK BODY TO TRY TO GET IT TO SLIDE DOWN. NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENED. BUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO SAME THING HAPPENED TO A FRIEND'S GMC VERSION. CLEARLY ELECTRONIC FAILURE IN BAND-NEW CAR.
