2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS OR IDLING, MY BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND HARD TO PUSH, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN I AM PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT. THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY ALERT SHOWING.

WAS INVOLVED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT IN SEPT 2017 IN WHICH I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON GREENMOUNT ROAD IN SHILOH IL. COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AT ABOUT 30 MPH, I WAS TRYING TO KILL A SPIDER SO MY EYES WERE OFF THE ROAD BUT WHEN THE COLLISION ALERT ALARM SOUNDED I IMMEDIETLY HIT THE BRAKES WHICH WERE HARD MAKING BRAKING DIFFICULT THERE IS NO WAY AN IMPACT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENDED. WHEN THE COLLISION ALERT ALARM SOUNDS THE BRAKE PEDALS BECAME HARD MAKING THE STOPPING OF THE CHEVY TAHOE IMPOSSIBLE SO I COULD NOT AVOID REAR ENDING OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NOW WHILE DRIVING THE TAHOE WITHOUT THE COLLISION ALERT ACTIVATED THE SUV STOPS LIKE NORMAL, ONLY WHEN THE COLLISION ALERT IS ACTIVATED DOES THE HARD BRAKE PEDALS OCCUR WHICH TO ME IS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COURTESY CHEVROLET (1233 E CAMELBACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85014, (602) 457-3232) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE WEATHER CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

LOSS OF BRAKE POWER AT LOW SPEEDS. TOOK A LONG DISTANCE, LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY STOP. ALMOST HIT NUMEROUS CARS. I HAD TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING A FAMILY IN THE PARKING LOT AT DISNEYLAND, IN ANAHEIM, CA AND OTHER CARS. HAD THE TAHOE TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018. HEADING TO WORK ONE MORNING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE GIRL IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BREAKS (WE WERE IN THE FAST LANE), SO I PUT ON MY BREAKS. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND GOING 50-55 MPH. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO BRACE MYSELF BEFORE HE HIT ME FROM BEHIND WHICH MADE ME HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME (I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES). FORTUNATELY, MY TAHOE HELD UP PRETTY GOOD AND DIDN'T CRUMBLE WITH THE TYPE OF IMPACT IT HAD. MY CONCERN IS MY AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY BUT ACTUALLY DIDN'T. THE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM THE AIRBAGS THROUGH THE DASH AND MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON MY ALERTS ON THE DASH. IF I WOULDN'T HAVE PREPARED AND BRACED MYSELF THEN MY FACE WOULD HAVE GONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I DIDN'T SEE A RECALL BUT IS THERE A REASON THEY DIDN'T COME OUT? ALSO, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SCENE TO TAKE THE TAHOE TO BODY SHOP BUT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED IN IT'S PLACE AND COULD NOT REBUCKLE (I WAS BUCKLED DURING THE CRASH)

THERE IS WATER INTRUSION AT HE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GOING DOWN THE PILLAR. A CALL TO THE DEALER AND ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SHARK ANTENNA LEAKING ON THE ROOF. IT HAPPENED ONLY IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN BRAKING.

BRAKES GOT HARD WHEN DRIVING ONTO EXPRESSWAY TAHOE HAS ONLY 42000 MILES AND HEARD THERES BEEN ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE VACUUM PUMP WHAT I HAVE READ.THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL

SMELL OF GASOLINE. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND AT FIRST COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THEN RIGHT BEFORE RETURNING THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE SMELL. AFTER TESTING THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR TO BE KEPT INSIDE MY PASSENGER DOOR COMPARTMENT ON DRIVER SIDE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH A DETERMINATION AS TO WHY THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG, BUT DID STATE THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE SMELL IN THE 2016 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2017S. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO UNLESS NEW COMPLAINTS ARE FILED. THE ODOR IS UNBEARABLE AT THIS POINT AND AM NOT WILLING TO HAVING MY LITTLE ONES CONTINUOUSLY EXPOSED TO THE TOXINS. THE SMELL HAPPENS UPON START OF THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF LOT LESS THAN 50 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE.

TAHOE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 9 TIMES IN ONE YEAR, "SERVICE 4WD", "SLOW TO 3MPH TO SHIFT TO 4WD LOW" AND "SERVICE STABILINK". VEHICLE HAS TRIED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. GMC HAS REPLACE SEVERAL SHORTS IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ( WHILE NEVER FINDING CAUSE).

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY TAHOE LAST YEAR. IT HAS APPROX 47,000 MILES ON IT THIS FAR. THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR. I HAVE PLACE TWO CANS OF REFRIGERATE IN THE SYSTEM IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. I CAN NOT IDENTIFY ANY LEAKS. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE VOICED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES AND REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT IS UNFAIR CONSIDERING I HAVE NOT DAMAGED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AND IS HAVING A/C PROBLEMS. I HAVE KIDS AND LIVE IN A SOUTHERN STATE THAT HAS 100 DEGREE WEATHER IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. I BELIEVE I DESERVE ANSWER AT LEAST!!!!!!
