SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS IN A LINE FOR THE CAR WASH AND MY BRAKE PEDAL GOT HARD AND I HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF LINE AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS BREAKING FINE BUT AS SOON AS I GOT IN TRAFFIC AND WAS AT A SLOWER SPEED THE PEDAL WOULD VIBRATE AND AGAIN THE PEDAL GOT HARD AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. I MADE IT BACK TO MY WORK WHICH HAS A HILL PULLING IN, GOING DOWN THE HILL AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT GOT HARD AND DID THE VIBRATING THING AGAIN. I HAD MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IM CURRENTLY AWAITING A DIAGNOSTIC.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY TAHOE SHOWED STABILITRAK ISSUES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST DEALER. IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN A MONTH AGO. THE TRUCK TURNS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND AS I'M PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, NOW I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN I TRY TO LOCK IT WITH THE FOB; IT DOES NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT A BUSINESS BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN BACK ON AND I HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE AND TRY TO CRANK IT. IT COMES BACK ON BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN 3 TIMES. NOW, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS I PULLED INTO MY WORK GARAGE, EVERYTHING TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND THIS TIME NOTHING CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THANKFULLY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THIS IS A VERY BUSY CITY STREET IN THE MORNING HOURS. I WAS LUCKY IT TURNED BACK ON AT ALL. ANOTHER TIME, I COULD NOT START MY TRUCK WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK AND I WAS STUCK ON THE 3RD FLOOR OF MY PARKING GARAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I'LL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS TAHOE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO TRAVEL 3 FREEWAYS TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS WELL BECAUSE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL ON GETTING HIT OR HITTING SOMEONE ELSE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH)

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON RETURNING FROM WORK , MY WIFE COMPLAINED OF A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE ENGINE, INTERIOR, AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE A SMALL RUNNING FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED BENEATH THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE, IMMEDIATELY FORWARD OF THE FUEL TANK . THE LEAK LEFT A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE, WHICH CONTINUED TO LEAK UNTIL FUEL PRESSURE DISSIPATED 5-10 MINUTES LATER. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL GM DEALER , IT WAS FOUND THAT A HOLE WAS WORN INTO THE FUEL SUPPLY (PRESSURE) LINE DUE TO CHAFING AND RUBBING OF THE LINE AGAINST THE STRUCTURE (FRAME) OF THE VEHICLE . THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ANY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, WHETHER IT WAS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 10/07/2020. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE FUEL LINE BEING INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED FROM CHAFING AND VIBRATION. THE NEW FUEL LINE CAME WITH A SLEEVE PROTECTING THE AFFECTED AREA. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFICIENCY ON 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE MODELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING GAS WHILE IT WAS TURNED ON WHILE IT WAS MOVING AND STATIONARY. A MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINE DEVELOPED A PIN SIZED HOLE AS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY WITH MY VEHICLE.

MY 2015 TAHOE LTZ HAS A VERY ROUGH RIDE, IT BOUNCES AND NOW THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHILE IN MOTION, AND AFTER HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT MY RIGHT STRUT HAS LEAKED FLUID AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. I FIND IT FUNNY THAT THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED, AND IT HAS BEEN IN FOR RECALLS MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. YOU PAY SOMEWHERE IN THE SUM OF $63,000 FOR A LUXURY VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT MORE FROM CHEVY THAN NOT TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LINE ABOVE GAS TANK WORE A HOLE SPRAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS AROUND REAR EXHAUST AND BRAKE ROTORS. THE HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE WAS DUE TO NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NORMAL WEAR AND VIBRATION WHERE IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE FRAME. THE HOLE OCCURRED AFTER VERY NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 81,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS BEEN USED 99% OF TIME ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING LATE IN 2019. IT STARTED GETTING COLD OUT SO WE DIDN'T NEED IT AT THE TIME. COVID 19 HIT AND I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR FOR WEEKS ON END. SO DIDN'T NEED AC. WHEN WE DID HAVE TO USE IT THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 5 YEARS 60K MILES THAT WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. WE NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION ON IT. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR OTHER SERVICE RELATED STUFF OVER THE YEARS AND NO ONE EVER MENTIONED OR EVEN CHECKED TO SEE IF THE AC UNIT WAS NOT WORKING. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIX IT UNDER THIS WARRANTY SOMETIME IN MAY OR JUNE OF 2020 AND WAS TOLD NO THAT THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED IN FEB 16, 2020. CONTACTED GM AND ASKED THE SAME THING. GOOD FAITH HELP WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL NICE. WE ARE A FEW MONTHS OVER THE 5 YEARS, BUT WELL UNDER THE 60K MILES. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO GET THIS COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR GET A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME THING AS I. THE CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 5 YEARS OLD. THE AC UNIT SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED SO SOON. NOW I HAVE TO PAY WELL OF 1000 TO FIX IT OUT OF MY POCKET. I KNOW NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, EXCEPT HEAT EXHAUSTION.....PLEASE DO A RECALL ON IT, PLEASE!

SERVICE BRAKES
I DECIDED TO TAKE A DAY TRIP UP TO LAKE TAHOE- FROM FOLSOM CALIFORNIA. IT'S ABOUT 88 MILES AWAY. WE MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE SUMMIT AND ON THE WAY DOWN MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS AS HARD AS ROCK. I COULDN'T PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL!! IT WAS SO SCARY. AS THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME WOULD BRAKE I HAD TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE TO SLOW IS DOWN. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CRASH INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP US OR USE THE GUARD RAIL AND POSSIBLY GO OVER THE SIDE OF A CLIFF!! MY CAR WAS LOADED WITH 5 CHILDREN AND 2 ADULTS. WE WERE ALL TERRIFIED. I HAD NO INDICATION AS THE DRIVER THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES UNTIL THAT MOMENT. THERE WEREN'T ANY LIGHTS OR WARNINGS THAT SOMETHING WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. MY HOPES IS TO REPORT THIS AND NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

THE FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. IT ONLY LEAKS IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THIS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LEAKING GAS IS NEAR THE HOT EXHAUST AND ELECTRICAL WIRES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
DURING A LOW SPEED LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC, MY 2015 TAHOE HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER AND STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS AT A DISTANCE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO NOTICE MY TAHOE HAD DIED BLOCKING THEIR LANES, AND THEY CORRECTED THEIR PATH TO GO AROUND. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE LEAST IF ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD NOT NOTICED THAT OUR VEHICLE DIED. I PURCHASED THIS TAHOE USED 3 WEEKS AGO AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE. AFTER INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET I LOCATED POST SAYING THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED OVER 1 MILLION OTHER 2015 TAHOES.

VEHICLE BEGAN RIDING ROUGH AT 58,000 MILES. DUE TO COVID WE JUST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FRONT SHOCKS ARE LEAKING AND THE REAR BAGS NEEDN'T TO BE REPLACED AS THEY HAVE HOLES IN THEM THEY WANT 2900 TO FIX. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A 70K VEHICLE WITH 68000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED 3 NEW TAHOE'S IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. IF GM DOES NOT MAKE THIS RIGHT THIS IS THE LAST GM PRODUCT I EVER PURCHASE AND IF THE DOT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT THEY ARE JUST AS BAD. *TR
