2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

2017 CHEVY TAHOE PREMIER. THE BRAKES ARE NOT ENGAGING IF UNDER 5 MPH ROLLING FOWARD (PHARMACY DRIVE THRU) HARD TO STOP VEHICLE USED 2 FEET TO PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP AN ACCIDENT BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED ON 9/26/2019 FOR SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN 11/23/2020. I SPOKE TO GM AND THEY DECIDED TO REOPENED THE CASE. RECALL PROGRAMMING WAS REDONE FOR THE 2ND TIME 12/1/2020 FOR SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. 12/2/2020 THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED IN CAR PICK UP LINE AT SCHOOL. TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK LET OF THE BRAKE ROLLED FOWARD 30 FEET WENT TO USE THE BRAKES AROUND 3-5 MPH AND PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE HOLDING TWO FEET ON THE PEDAL, USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN LINE IN FRONT OF ME. MY 2017 TAHOE GOING BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR LIABILITY SAFETY CONCERN!!!

WATER INTRUSION VIA GPS ANTENNA DEFECT INTO DRIVER CABIN ABOVE DRIVER AT VISOR ATTACHMENT. LOSS OF GPS, ONSTAR AND ANTENNA FUNCTIONS. THIS OCCURRED FOLLOWING HEAVY RAIN STORMS. AUGUST 2020 AND WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM STEMMING BACK TO AT LEAST 2015. GM PROGRAM BULLETIN NUMBER 15155

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 10 MILES OUT I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,IT WASN'T SHIFTING RIGHT AND AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD STAY ON ONE GEAR TOO LONG AND THE RPM WOULD STAY AT 4500RPM BEFORE IT SHIFTS AND THIS IS WHILE CRUISING AT 65MPH. AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE I WOULD HEAR A HUMMING/WHISTLING SOUND FROM WITHIN AND I COULDN'T GO PAST 70MPH. THEN THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP SIGN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY MY TAHOE WOULD HESITATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. WHEN I GOT TO THE PARKING LOT I TRIED TO BACK-IN TO PARKING SPACE AND MY TAHOE WOULD NOT GO ON REVERSE. AND WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT,WHEN I PUT IT ON DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENS AND AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AND JERKED IT FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS SO MUCH SO,THAT THE REAR TIRES EVEN SCREECHED A BIT! IT SCARED THE SH*# OUT OF ME. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT WAS DONE TO RECTIFY IT.

VERY HARD BRAKE PRESSURE NEEDED. CAR WILL STOP AND VERY HAR D. ACTS LIKE POWER BRAKES DO NOT WORK.. LOSS OF MAYBE DUE TO VACUUM LOSS. THERE SHOULD BE U RECALL ISSUED. NOT SAFE. !!!?

I WAS DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM HOME ONE MORNING AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING FUNNY LIKE IT WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO OUR LOCAL CHEVEROLET DEALER AND BY THE TIME I PULLED IN WHICH WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES THE TRANSMISSION TEMP WAS VERY HIGH AND WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS AT ALL. THEY EVALUATED IT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THEY COULD JUST FLUSH TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS ONLY A 2017 AND NOT AN OLDER VEHICLE BUT DETERMINED IT NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. COULD HAVE CAUSED UNSAFE CONDITIONS IF IT WOULD HAVE JUST QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL RESULTING IN LITTLE OR NO STOPPING POWER WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW. EXTREME PRESSURE NEEDED TO STOP. BOTH TIMES IN THE PARKING LOT.

VEHICLE WILL EXCELERATE FAST OR SHIFT FAST AND ABNORMALLY AFTER STOPPING. ALSO DOWNSHIFTS IN A JERKING MOTION WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IDLES AS IF VEHICLE IS RUINING OUT OF FUEL EVEN WHEN CONTAINING SUFFIENANT FUEL LEVELS AND MAY STALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER AIR CONDITIONING NO LONGER OPERATED AS NEEDED. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A CRACKED CONDENSER.

THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OXIDIZING. IT IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH, PATCHY, AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. WE NOTICED IT DETERIORATING WHEN WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PAINT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AS I AM FINDING IN MY RESEARCH OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL. PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN BODY WORK HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND COLOR.
