2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

LOUD POPPING NOISE FROM CENTER OF STEERING WHEEL. REPAIRED TWICE ALREADY. PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. STEERING IS VERY HARD AT TIMES. ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE A 65 CHEVY TRUCK WITH NO POWER STEERING. IT'S SCARY AT TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER SON WHO WAS THE VEHICLE OWNER/DRIVER OF A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE COLLISON MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO EXISTING RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS FATALLY INJURED. THE CONTACT WAS THE MOTHER OF THE DRIVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, JUMPING A CURB, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. DURING THE CRASH THE AIR BAGS DID DEPLOY BUT THE DRIVER WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. THE DRIVER WAS FATALLY INJURED DURING THE CRASH AND SUSTAINED TWO BROKEN LEGS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BASED ON THE POLICE AND EMS REPORTS RECEIVED, THE MIDDLE CONSOLE HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF BY THE DRIVER DURING THE INCIDENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRACE HIMSELF FOR THE COLLISION. THE REPORT ALSO MENTIONED THAT NO TIRE SKID MARKS WERE PRESENT AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR) WAS DESTROYED. AS A RESULT, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VIN WAS LATER INCLUDED IN NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V586000 (STEERING) AND 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ARE OFF, I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE DOME LIGHTS FLICKER VERY INTENSELY FOR A HALF-SECOND. THIS FLICKERING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. IT IS A VERY BRIGHT FLICKER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MOMENTARY DISTRACTION OR LIGHT-BLINDING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD CEASE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED THE CONTACT WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND EXPRESSED CONCERNS FOR HIS SAFETY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT PREVIOUSLY, THE DASHBOARD GAUGES HAD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND ON OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HERB CHAMBERS CHEVROLET (90 ANDOVER ST. DANVERS MA 01923). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000 .

SUNROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY APPARENT IMPACT FROM OUTSIDE SOURCE. DRIVING ON CLEAR HIGHWAY, 55 MPH

INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINK WHEN BRAKES ARE TAPPED AND WHEN USING LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2.5 YEARS AND I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP BUT REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN MY COST.

SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN 2016 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED A DRIP OF OIL IN MY GARAGE THAT WASN'T CONSISTENT AND WHEN TELLING MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND FOUND NOTHING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SIDE DOOR BLACK FASCIA FLEW OFF, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 3 STATING IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 34K WARRANTY. I HAD REQUESTED THEY REPLACE/SECURE THE 4TH AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE AND DIDN'T NEED REPLACING. I RETURNED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER AND REPORTED THE ONE THAT WAS NOT REPLACED IS NOW LOOSE AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I WAS OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND WOULD BE CHARGED AN HOUR LABOR AS WELL AS PARTS, COSTING ROUGHLY $120.00. I THEN HAD MY AC GO OUT IN SUMMER OF 2019 AND HAD THAT REPLACED SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE IN FALL 2019 I MENTIONED MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING PROPERLY WHILE BRAKING AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A CURRENT RECALL THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT WAS PERFORMED. I WAS STILL NOTICING THE BRAKING ISSUES. IN NOV.2019 I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE MISFIRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WORSENED AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I WAS INFORMED I WOULD NOT GET A LOANER CAR AS ALL OF THEIRS WERE OUT TO PEOPLE WITH PARTS REQUIRED WITHOUT AN ETA FROM GM. I WAS CALLED 4 DAYS LATER AS I HAD NOT HEARD BACK AND WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDED A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW VACUUM PUMP AS THIS HAD FAILED AND IS THE REASON FOR THE HARD BRAKING. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP IS ON BACK-ORDER WITHOUT AN ETA AND "I STILL HAVE MY ABS THAT WILL ASSIST WITH STOPPING".

MY TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE(WD) AND AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ITSELF INTO 4WD ON ITS OWN., I IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED A NOTICE ON MY DASH CONSUL, 4WD SERVICE ALERT ON MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL HIGH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE. IF I WERE ON SNOW OR WET ROADS I SURELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO BRODHEADSVILLE CHEVY FOR REPAIRS ON 26, DECEMBER 2019. THE DEALERSHIP PUT MY TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND DETERMINED THAT IT HAD A CODE C0398 FOR RANGE POSITION CORRECTION. THE REPAIR FOR THIS WAS A NEW CALIBRATION (BASICALLY UPDATE THE CURRENT SOFTWARE) TO THE NEW VERSION WHICH WAS (VERSION 9.2). (SEE ATTACHED DEALERSHIP PAPERWORK WHICH DETAILS THE REPAIR.) I FEEL THIS SOFTWARE GLITCH IS BY NO WAY MY FAULT NOR MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS SOFTWARE FAILURE. THERE WAS NOT ANY PART FOUND FAULTY OR REPLACED. COMPUTERS WERE NOT DAMAGED NOR HARMED IN ANY MANNER TO CREATE THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH OR ERROR. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED. I AS A USER OF CHEVROLET'S PRODUCT HAVE NO CONTROL OF HOW CHEVY CODES THERE SOFTWARE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT PERFORMS CORRECTLY. IF THERE IS A CODING DEFECT IN THERE SOFTWARE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT I CAN REPAIR IT WITH OUT GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING THEM FIX IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ON THIS UNSAFE ISSUE POTENTIALLY CAUSING LOSE OF LIFE.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, BACKING UP, SND PARKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL POWER IS LOST AND UNABLE TO HAVE CAUTION LIGHTS ON AND TURN BACK ON FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE BUT WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME IT SHUTS OFF.

OCTOBER 8, 2019 WAS TAKING OFF IN TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH. THE TRAFFIC STOPPED, ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND PEDAL FELT HARD. REAR END COLLISION OCCURRED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING REAR DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AND FRONT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW SPEED AND COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT A COLLISION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER ON JANUARY 10TH. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOST BUT SAID THE PEDAL WAS STILL HARD AND THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE MECHANICAL VACUUM OUTPUT. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER BUT THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME BECAUSE OF SAFETY RISKS YET I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR MONTHS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ALL RECALLS REVIEWED ARE SUGGESTIVE IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM NOT A MANDATORY REPAIR. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A CRASH LIKE I DID?? ONCE RESEARCHED THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MONTHS WITH 3 ASSOCIATED RECALLS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY REMEDIED. MY VEHICLE DAMAGE WAS SET TO BE REPAIRED NEXT WEEK BUT NOW IT HAS TO BE CANCELLED BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE IN POSSESSION.
