2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHILE GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND LOCKS UP RESULTING IN THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, PARKING LOTS, AND DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT LINES AS WELL AS ALMOST CAUSING ME TO ROLL THROUGH RED LIGHTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY OVER THE PAST YEAR (2018) AND HAS RECENTLY BECAME MORE COMMON.

AT SLOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF TWICE NOW, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING US TO WRECK! WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THAT AND A POPPING IN THE STEARING WHEEL AND THEY TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT!

MY AC CONDENSER IS CRACKED AND LEAKING FREON AND IS NOT BLOWING COOL AIR. I'VE READ MULTIPLE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL TAHOE AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL WHEN SO MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE CONDENSER. NOW I'M HAVING TO FORK OUT $1200 TO FIX IT ON A NEWER MODEL TAHOE WITH LOW MILES AND IT'S REDICULOUS WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME THING! PLEASE GIVE IT A RECALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM SEEING THE ROAD CLEARLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 101 SW PINE ISLAND RD, CAPE CORAL, FL 33991, (239) 574-3326) WHO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE MANUFACTURED IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I INITIALLY NOTICED DIFFICULTY WITH BRAKING WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARD, WITH FULL WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER I WAS IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER, STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN HARD AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, ONLY AT LOW RATES OF SPEED AND WITH FREQUENT, REPETIVE STOPPING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY DUE TO 'OVER USE' OF THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO BE 'PUMPED' RATHER THAN COMPRESSED FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. I TOOK THE VEHEHICLE TO A SECOND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AND THIS SEEMS HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS DUE TO FEAR THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL. THE VEHICLE HAS 54,000 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AT A FUEL STATION. WHEN HE RETURNED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED DOWN THE STREET AND CRASHED INTO A FOUR WHEELER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE BODY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. *DT *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH BRAKING. OCCASIONALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT MORE OFTEN DURING LOWER SPEEDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING, NOT ALLOWING YOU TO STOP. HAPPENS ALSO GOING IN REVERSE. HAD A COLLISION, HIT THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE YESTERDAY MORNING DURING RUSH HOUR, 3/18/2019. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO 15 MPH, DUE TO A RED LIGHT, BUT BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT BRAKE, BECOMING VERY STIFF, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE, AND STOPPED DUE TO THE COLLISION. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. FRONT BODY SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY TAHOE. POLICE REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. WE BOUGHT THIS TAHOE IN FALL OF 2017, AND FEBRUARY 2017, TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE BRAKING ISSUES, NOTHING WAS FOUND OR DONE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. TAHOE IS BACK AT DEALERSHIP AS OF TODAY, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND, ACCORDING TO CHEVY TECHS

BRAKES FAILED WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. BRAKES WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. CHEVROLET'S SERVICE BULLETIN INDICATED THE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ANOTHER LINE TO BE CONSIDERED "CONTAMINATED" CAUSING THEM TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. CLEARLY UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

THE SUSPENSION ON MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE MAKE THE TRUCK VERY BOUNCY. I HAVE APPROX. 75,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD I FEEL EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD AND WHEN GOING INTO CURVES IT FEEL LIKE I MAY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE I FEEL THAT CHEVY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

THE 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS HARD BRAKE PEDALS WHEN MOVING IN LOW SPEEDS. THE NEED FOR INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS HIGH OCCURRENCES IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND HIGH OCCURRENCES OF FAILURES AT LOWER SPEEDS. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AT THE GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN DALLAS, GA FAILED TO REPORT ISSUES WITH THE BREAKS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE NUMEROUS LAWSUITS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND GM ISSUED A SERIES OF SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE BREAK PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE BULLETINS, FLUID MAY BE FOUND IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR THE BOOSTER VACUUM LINE DURING A NORMAL DIAGNOSTIC.
