FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I have had several incidents this past couple months where my forward collision red light indicator will go off for no reason while driving. This literally scares me to brake when I shouldn't have to. Very annoying.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Several months back I took my car in to my local dealer for a recall and asked them about what was going in with my navigation and radio because when I'm driving the navigation system will deter from my destination that I put in and then start flipping through radio stations on its own and will not let me change or control it at all.

SERVICE BRAKES
I called my local Chevrolet dealership to get the recalled on my Tahoe fixed and they can’t fix the recall for a full month. I’m very concerned because it’s a recall on the vacuum pump so it affects my brakes. My truck is a daily driver so I will have to gamble for a month on the streets and pray the brakes don’t get any worse.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving to drop 3 out of my 4 children off at school when the transmission failed and started slipping and completely died in the middle of the road. The road is an extremely busy highway in our town. I turned the car off and back on and it went into forward gear just enough for me to get onto the shoulder. My children and myself were put into danger due to the transmission failing on a busy highway. I have had the car inspected by a mechanic. There is metal shavings all in the bottom of the transmission pan. There were no signs, and no warning lamps on the dash.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving up a hill on a road trip the vehicle felt as if it wouldn't speed up when pressing on the accelerator- this was short lived. Upon parking in the driveway after the trip my husband noticed a fuel smell coming from the rear driver side of vehicle. The next day it was difficult to start and fuel smell was even more pronounced. As it was the weekend we did not drive it and waited to contact the dealer on Monday. Drove the vehicle to the dealership to have the smell diagnosed and while the engine was running and vehicle was in park, fuel began pouring out underneath. There were NO warning lights whatsoever. Fortunately our granddaughter had just been taken back to her parents as she had previously been in the vehicle! This could have caught fire!!! The vehicle is currently at the dealership and a leak in the fuel line has been diagnosed and is scheduled for repair as soon as the part comes in.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
There’s a modulator in the rear end of my SUV that has been melting near exhaust every since purchased had taken to the dealership it was purchased from and also back to a Chevrolet dealership. At the time my warranty was still on vehicle at both places was told I will have to cover cost. This issue is very defective afraid of a fire being caused. I have small children and this matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The dealership states to just tuck it in keep a way from exhaust pipe which is dangerous and impossible to keep away when driving.

POWER TRAIN
Feeling of significant shudder and shake, especially at highway speeds. This is caused by a defective torque converter manufactured by Chevrolet. Shuddering can be felt when apply light throttle between 20-80MPH. Chevrolet dealership is asking for $8000 to fix their defective Torque Converter (GM 6l80). From all the vehicles that i have owned in the past, I have never received a bill this high for a part that has been proven to have failed in many vehicles manufactured by GM. I appreciate any action that can be taken to issue a recall and prevent any accidents due to this. Thank you.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2016 Tahoe Fuel problems/ transmission jerking mostly going up an incline/hill. Warning ⛔️ lights/ check engine light flashed only 3 or 4 times, I stopped the vehicle, about 5 minutes then I started back to drive . I took it to Edward Chevrolet in Bham Al , I told them I may have pumped some bad gas, because it was spudding & jerking especially when I when up an incline/ hill. But they told me that the gears going out in the transmission & I need a transmission. I took it to them because the truck was spudding when driving. So when I got my vehicle back now the truck making a winding noise, it’s changing out correctly but when I go up incline/ hill , it hesitates, spudding, jerking. I have two other vehicles, I haven’t drove the vehicle enough to have a transmission problem. I asked other people that have Tahoes, even mechanics, said they been having problems with the transmission in 2016 Tahoe & Chevrolet trucks that carry that particular transmission, having the same problems. I think it need to be a replacement of transmission or recall established on the 2016 Tahoes & pickups!!! Sign please help, I don’t have no 6,200 for no transmission & haven’t even driven my truck enough to have a transmission problem! I have 3 more payments on my 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, I haven’t enjoyed my vehicle it only have 148,000 miles, and the transmission going out , and that’s not right. You all need to check into this and do a Recall!!! [XXX]!! Sign please help INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
