2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the trailer hitch warning light was illuminated with an audible tone. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 73,988.

The trailer brake system alert is going off twice in a row every 45 seconds to one minute. The chiming is highly distracting while driving and seems to be a wiring issue.

After a 7 hour road trip and returning to local stop and go travel in our hometown, the brakes started vibrating and the brake pedal then went hard. It took a severe downward foot thrust to get the vehicle to stop and even then still continued to roll forward a few feet. The brakes remained hard thereafter and not safe to drive- unable to brake at that point. Luckily we were not in traffic at that time or still on our road trip otherwise I am sure there would have been a serious wreck or fatality. Dealership supposedly took care of the recall repair for the vacuum pump previously but apparently their action was not sufficient. What am I supposed to do about it now? Thank you.

Dome lights keep flickering. Not specific to any light. All of them flash sporadically. Looks like a camera flash at night. It is beyond distracting at night and the dealership could not find what is causing it to happen. It is making driving at night dangerous because it is distracting because it can sometimes flash non stop like a strobe light.

Trailer brake service message constantly dinging and you can’t dismiss the message. Dealership replaced a fuse and thought they fixed it and by the next day the message was back and dinging non stop. It is so distracting it’s almost unsafe to drive. Can’t see my speed or anything on my dash because the message will not go away and the dinging noise is unbearable.

Brake assist problems. When stopping/slow braking while being in heavy traffic, or drive thru, the brakes will vibrate and will not come to a complete stop without it rolling, almost into another vehicle. The brake petal will be stiff and the vehicle will continue to roll. This happens a lot, but seems to only happen during stop/start, bumper to bumper situations.

I bought the tahoe from a buy here pay here Its a salvage car from the action The guy who sold it to me said he would fix and never did I took it in to a shop because i almost recked and the transmission i think messed up because of the brakes and steering There is also another car he sold that my friend bought for me to fix because the guy sold it with out airbags

There is a trailer brake warning that comes up, sometimes 10 times in a single mile of driving on the freeway. It beeps very loud and I cannot hear anything else. It is distracting to drive and I am unable to shut it off, I can only dismiss. I am now not sure if I can tow with my Tahoe because I fear there is something wrong with the trailer brake system. It is loud enough that if something else was wrong, I may not be able to hear it happening with the warning sound going off so often. I don't know exactly what is going on but my best guess is that it is either with the wiring, as this happens when I am not towing, or there is a sensor of some sort that is faulty. In any case, I don't think it is safe to tow because of potential hazards of the trailer brakes not working, or even worse, the trailer brakes locking up and me causing an accident.

Vehicle has shut down twice while turning. When action happens the stability controls are turned off, parking assistance is turned off. All lights on dash flash. With this vehicle having electronic steering, I have no control of this vehicle when it shuts down while driving. Dealer could not reproduce actions to diagnose, but informed me to return if it was to happen again.

While pulling forward in a drive thru, slowing to stop, the brake pedal started vibrating and became very hard to press. Came within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. I drove to an empty parking area afterwards and was able to reproduce the problem several times. This only seems to happen at low speeds. The brake assist warning light comes on each time this occurs. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by manufacturer or mechanic. I'm filing this complaint because this is a major safety issue. This is not an isolated problem to my vehicle as I have seen that many others have filed the same complaint with the 2015 Tahoe.
