SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE VACUUM PUMP LOSES PRESSURE WHEN BRAKES PRESSED REPETITIVELY. WHILE IN TRAFFIC I REAR ENDED ANOTHER MOTORIST DUE TO BRAKE PRESSURE LOSS. CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NO INJURIES DUE TO LOW SPEED BUT EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS BRAKE PRESSURE IS LOST, IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY YOU LOSE ALL BRAKE ASSIST. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL REGARDING ABS SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT BRAKES STILL FEEL HORRIBLE. TSB WAS ISSUED TO VEHICLES UNDER 72000 BUT ONLY BEGAN THIS YEAR. CURRENT TSB DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. I CONTACT THE GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER MY VEHICLE ONE MAKE EXCEPTIONS.THIS NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL OF THE VACCUM PUMP, VACUUM LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER LIKE STATED IN THE TSB. SOMEONE CAN DIE FROM THIS ISSUE IF GOING DOWN HILL AT SPEED.

FIRST OFF, MY DOME LIGHTS. THEY FLICKER ON AND OFF EVERY TIME I HIT MY BREAKS OR EVERY TIME I TURN MY LEFT BLINKER ON. SECONDLY, MY AIR CONDITIONER! I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID STATE. I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE A/C IN MY TAHOE ONCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER. NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS I WAS THEN.

SUSPENSION
SUSPENSION BOUNCES SO BADLY THAT THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNSTABLE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. FAILURE HAPPENED AROUND 75,000 MILES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AMONG THE TAHOE, SUBURBAN, AND YUKONS. GM HAS FAILED ITS CUSTOMERS BY NOT COVERING THE DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION UNDER THESE VEHICLES. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM THIS CAR.

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE HAS 65K ON IT. MOST RECENTLY THE FRONT END STARTED BOUNCING SEVERELY DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND BOUNCES VIOLENTLY OVER ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY FOR MY WIFE, WHO IS SMALLER IN STATURE. I WAS ADVISED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FRONT SHOCKS/STRUTS ARE LEAKING. COST ESTIMATES ARE 1670 TO 1920. VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED ON 9/27/19 BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN OTHERWISE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO START WHEN COLD. WOULD TAKE 2-3 TIMES TO GET ENGINE TO TURN OVER. AFTER DRIVING, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS UNDENIABLE. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE FUEL HOSE HAD CHAFFED AND FUEL WAS SPRAYING OUT AND PUDDLING ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. HE DROPPED FUEL TANK AND REPLACED FUEL LINE. FUEL LINE THAT WAS REMOVED HAD NO PROTECTION ON IT. REPLACEMENT PART HAD A CORRUGATED LOOM PROTECTING FUEL LINE. I AM STILL IN POSSESSION OF DAMAGED FUEL LINE IN QUESTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES WERE FAULTY. THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH DEALER AND SHOWING THEM THE 'DIAGNOSTIC TIP' OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE, THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. I ASKED WHY THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE OTHER ITEMS LISTED AS RECOMMENDED ON THE NOTICE. NOW 7 MONTHS LATER, THE OTHER PARTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SAME TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE EXCESSIVE FORCE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL IS REQUIRED TO STOP VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION OR KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A STOPPED STATE. THIS PRIMARILY SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC WHERE FREQUENT STOPS AT IDLE SPEED IS COMMON. CONTACTED GM DEALER FOR RESOLUTION AND WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLES VACUUM PUMP WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANT IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 70000 MILES. CONSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS SLIGHTLY OVER THIS AND WARRANTY WOULD NOT BE HONORED.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL NOT RESPONDING. PUSHING THE PEDAL AT A DRIVETHRU WINDOW AND KEPT MOVING. HAD TO JAM ON THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO FINALLY STOP, PUT IN PARK. LUCKILY NO ONE IN FRONT OF MY TO HIT. ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES; MAINLY WHEN COASTING AND AT SLOW SPEED. BRAKING AT DRIVING SEEMS TO WORK BETTER, STILL SEEMS TO BE OFF THOUGH. WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY RETURN TO WORK, WITH ANOTHER EMPLOYEE FOLLOWING, AND PARK. PARKING WAS DIFFICULT, THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO DOWN THE BANK! HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE. THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TONIGHT! I REFUSE TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM!

SERVICE BRAKES
2015 CHEVY TAHOE, WE PURCHASED TWO MONTHS AGO STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I WAS TURNING AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS EXTREMELY STIFF, CAUSING ME TO CRASH THE VEHICLE INTO MY UTILITY TRAILER. I PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS ALMOST NO BRAKING PRESSURE AT ALL AND MY SUV JUST KEPT GOING. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY BUT NOW EVERYONE IS SCARED TO RIDE IN IT. I'VE FINANCED A VEHICLE FOR YEARS THAT I'VE HAD POSESSION OF FOR MONTHS, AND IT'S MOST NESSCERY SAFTEY FUNCTION HAS FAILED. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED GM VEHICLES. AS A 31 YEAR OLD FATHER OF 3 SMALL CHILDREN, THIS WAS A VERY LARGE PURCHASE FOR OUR YOUNG FAMILY. NOW I FEEL I MAY HAVE TO LOOK OUTSIDE MY TRUSTED BRAND TO FIND A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN TRANSPORT THE MOST PRECIOUS CARGO IN. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING . I THEN FIND OUT THIS EXACT ISSUE HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE CRASHES INVOLVING INJURIES. GM IS AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM, LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED, YET LITTLE OR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. HOW CAN GENERAL MOTORS KNOWINGLY TURN A BLIND EYE AND ALLOW THIS LIFE THREATING SAFTEY ISSUE TO GO ON IN A VEHICLE MARKETED TO FAMILIES?

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A NEAR SUDDEN DETERIORATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF WITH LITTLE OR NO TRAVEL IN PEDAL REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED. THIS DETERIORATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE BECAME CRITICAL - REQUIRING ALL THE FORCE MY 100LB WIFE COULD MUSTER TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE STIFF PEDAL WAS OBVIOUS WITH THE CAR ON AND OFF, MOVING AND STATIONARY. THOUGH THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND WAS RECOGNIZED ONLY AFTER THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON I84 (AT 65 MPH!!). OUR MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE VACUUM PUMP AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.
