2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

VEHICLE BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE AC COMPRESSOR IS BROKEN. BLOWING HOT AIR. CONTACTED GM AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE AC SYSTEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE AND DISCOVERING THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND THE ASTONISHING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR 2015-2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S, WE CALLED BACK AND WERE TOLD OUR VIN WAS NOT COVERED. I FIND IT VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS OUR VEHICLE AND SAME YEAR HAVE A DEFECTIVE AC SYSTEM WITH THE SAME DEFECT AS OURS, BUT OURS JUST HAPPENS TO BE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS MY 3RD AND LAST CHEVROLET TAHOE. *JS

THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKING ABILITY AT LOW SPEED. IT FIRST OCCURRED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND COULD NOT BE PUSHED IN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP AFTER A WEB SEARCH HAS TURNED UP THAT THIS SITUATION IS HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY TO OTHER OWNERS AND THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUITE FILED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

AT LOW SPEEDS BRAKES FAIL. WHEN YOU PRESS BRAKES THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. I HAVE TO PUT BOTH MY FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP.

STABILITRAK COMES ON AND LOCKS THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROX. 4 TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHY, NOR HAVE THEY RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. WATER KEEPS GETTING IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE IT'S COMING FROM EITHER. THEY HAVE TRIED 6 TIMES

WHEN TRAVELING SLOW, LIKE PULLING INTO GARAGE, BRAKES WILL OCCASSIONALLY LOSE POWER MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HAVE ALMOST BACKED INTO A CAR BECAUSE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. HAVE SEEN ON HERE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO I WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS HAPPENING WITH OUR TAHOE AS WELL. ALSO OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKES. SEEMS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST, BUT MOST RECENTLY ON 03/06/19 WHILE PULLING IT INTO THE GARAGE.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE, EVERY SO OFTEN I AM UNABLE TO BREAK AND IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEP ON THE BREAKS. I HAVE TAKE I TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1100 TO GET IT FIXED!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED THAT THERE WAS A GPS MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE FAILURE THAT EXPIRED IN 2017, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE BULLETIN INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS REPAIRING THE GPS AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. WESELOH CHEVROLET (5335 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008, (760) 208-1943) WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. AS A RESULT, IT HAS TAKEN ALL OF MY PHYSICAL EFFORT TO PRESS THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. FORTUNATELY, THESE INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT SLOWER SPEEDS (DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AT STOP LIGHTS). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXTREMELY INTERMITTENT AND I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON DEMAND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE SYSTEM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE AND STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. ONCE THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. DAVIS CHEVROLET (2277 S LOOP W, HOUSTON, TX 77054) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, THE DOME LIGHT FLASHES WHEN APPLYING BRAKE OR TURNING ON LEFT TURN SIGNAL.
