2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WERE SLIPPING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 FEET. "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE WAS SHOWN AND THE BRAKE MODULE WAS REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION 24 HOURS AFTER REPLACING MODULE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" APPEARED ON THE DASH. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND BRAKING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE.

AT SLOW SPEEDS BRAKE HITS THE BOTTOM AND VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP. DEALER ADMITS BRAKE VACUUM FAILURE.

LOST POWER TO BRAKES - DIFFICULTY STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS - NEARLY HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME - CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD NOT STOP

HI IM WRITING AGAIN TO REPORT ON 2016 CHEVY TAHOE VACUMM ASST FAILURE / DEFECTIVE PARTS THE TAHOE HAD AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH 40,475! I HAD JUST PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM SERVICE AT JACK SCHMITT CHEVROLET FOR UNRELATED ISSUE I WAS 2 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON GREEN MOUNT RD. APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT I WAS SLOWING DOWN COMING UP TO THE LIGHT WHEN SPIDER FELL BETWEEN MY LEGS SO I ATTEMPTED TO KILL IT AT THE SAME TIME THE COLLISION ALERT ACTIVATED AND I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES BUT THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THE SUV WAS NOT STOPPING LIKE I THOUGHT IT SHOULD SO I STARTED MAKING EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE CAR AT THE LIGHT. I PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT BUT THE SUV KEPT MOVING NOT SLOWING AS IT SHOULD HAVE AND HIT REAR PASSENGER SIDE BACK OH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING NOMINAL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES ABOUT 12,000 FOR THE TAHOE WHICH I GOT REPAIRED SO I CHALK IT UP AS MY FAULT BUT I KEPT NOTICING THE SUV ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SEEMED LIKE IT WAS STILL MOVING WHEN IT SHOULD STOPPED. MONTHS PASSED AND I WAS LOOKING UP POSSIBLE CAUSES AND ON A WEB SITE A COMPLAINT MADE BY SOMEBODY WHO'S TAHOE WAS DOING THE SAME THING THAT'S WHEN I FILED A CLAIM WITH CHEVY/GM SOMEWHERE AROUND JUNE 20 2018 AND SPOKE MONIQUE HILL WHO TOOK MY REPORT AND MONTHS LATER DENIED MY CLAIM AND IN THE SAME LETTER SAID GET YOUR VACUM ASST SERVICED AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE! ANYWAY I DID GET IT SERVICED AT JACK SCHMITT CHEVY IN OFALLON IL 6186252800 AND WAS TOLD THE VACUUM ASSIST WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS TO REPAIR ALSO THEY HAD TO GIVE ME A CAR RENTAL BECAUSE THE 2016 CHEVY TAHOE WAS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD AND THAT WOULD BE HELD LIABLE IF THEY LET ME TAKE IT AND I'M PISSED AT THAT POINT ALL THIS TIME I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I WAS HURT AND HURT FOR ABOUT A YEAR SURE BACK AND NECK AND THEY JUST DENIED DENIED DENIED! PLEASE HELP

INTERIOR LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD TURN OFF THEN THEY FLICKER/PULSATE, HEADLIGHTS AND EXTERIOR BREAK LIGHTS FLICKER/PULSATE CONSTANTLY. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT WHILE IN MOTION. OTHER DRIVERS THINK I'M FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS OF THE BATTERY AND ALSO THE ALTERNATOR BY MECHANIC AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND..

EXPERIENCED SPONGY/SOFT PEDAL AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER THINKING IT NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW VACUUM PUMP, BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER AT A COST OF $1,400. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL GM MODELS BUT THE VEHICLE WAS 2,500 MILES/10 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE TIME.

AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, BRAKES DO NOT WORK. BACKING OUT OF DRIVE, PULLING INTO GARAGE, WAITING IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL. PUSH DOWN ON BREAKS AND NOTHING STOPS. WORKS FINE WHEN AT NORMAL SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT CREATE ISSUE AT THEIR SITE. HAS HAPPENED 10+ TIMES AT HOME AND IN PARKING LOTS AND IN TRAFFIC JAMS. BEGAN NOTICING AROUND 40000 MILES. VEHICLE AT 49000 MILES NOW.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND/OR DOES NOT CATCH ON ACCELERATION. JERKING MOTION AS IT SEARCHES TO CATCH GEARS. FAINT BURNING SMELL.

INCREASED BRAKE EFFORT, BRAKES FREEZE UP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND SLOW SPEEDS. PARKING, PARKING LOTS ETC

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SHOP FOR REPAIR TO VIBRATIONS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 70+ MPH. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A SIMILAR PROBLEM OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE TOO.
