2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

AND 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND SUBURBAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A BASE RADIO AND AN INTERNAL AMPLIFIER. THE RADIOS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND AS A RESULT, THERE WOULD BE NO AUDIBLE CHIME TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER IF THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OR NO AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATING THE SEAT BELTS WERE NOT BUCKLED. AS SUCH, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBERS 114, "THEFT PROTECTION AND ROLLAWAY PREVENTION," AND 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."

VACUUM PUMP: BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO BRAKE WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT IS VERY SPORADIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE TO THE BRAKES TO TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2016 AND EXPERIENCED THIS A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY TAHOE IN EARLY 2017. THE DEALEARSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS AT THE TIME I CALLED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TAHOE, BUT WITH CAUTION AT SLOWER SPEEDS SINCE I DID NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I ULTIMATELY DECIDED TO BRING MY TAHOE IN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND BEGAN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME STIFF BRAKE ISSUE AT THE CAR WASH RECENTLY ON 02/16/19 AND WHEN PARALLEL PARKING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS IN BOTH CASES. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ON 02/18/19 FOR AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RECALL (UNREALTED TO THIS ISSUE) AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO THEM. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED.

LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING. ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS WITH THE ELECTRONIC START BUTTON. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR ON A PARKING LOT WHEN BACKING INTO A SPACE WITH A CAR IN THE SPOT BEHIND ME. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS APPROX. A YEAR AGO, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TEMP. FLUKE OF SOME KIND, BUT IT HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE MALL ON 2/16/19, THAT WAS THE FINAL STRAW.... BETTER REPORT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.

WHILE DRIVING 10MPH OR LESS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP THE BRAKES ARE VERY ARE AND STUFF WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO STOP NOR WHILE REVERSING! I'VE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE WALKING AND SOMEONE CAR! I RAN INTO OUR INDUSTRIAL FAN IN OUR GARAGE BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP. WE ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES TWICE WHILE MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THERE BECYWE COULDN'T BREAK. I'VE CALLED DEALERSHIPS AND GM BOUT PROBLEMS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BUT IT'S NOT RECALL AND THAT CAN NOT REIMBURSE ME ESPECIALLY IF I KET A THIRD PARTY FIX IT. I'M UNEMPLOYED AND PAY A NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW! ALSO THE REAR CAMERA NEVER WORK IT BARELY WORK IT'S A VERY SMALL ONE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WILL INSTALL THE REGULAR ONE IN THAT EVERY TAHOE HAS BECAUSE MINE HAS A DEFECT AND IT'S NOT THE TOUCHSCREEN THAT ALL TABLES HAVE AND NO PARTS FOR THIS ONE BUT GM WOULDN'T AGREE WITH IT THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING TO THE BACK UP CAMERA AND IT KEEP GOING IN AND OUT AND HAS TO HAVE UPDATED MY LINK RADIO. THAT'S DANGEROUS. AS WELL AS THE BRAKE CABLE KEEP SLIPPING AND CAUSING MAJOR SQEAKING WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS SPEED BUMPS AND ETC. AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS STILL NOT FIXED I'VE TAKING IT SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE MAJOR SHAKE AND VIBRATION FROM IT WHILE AT LIGHTS OR STILL AND THEY'VE CHANGED THEM OUT SHAVED THEM DOWN STILL NO HELP SO THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON GM TO COME OUT WITH A PART TO FIX IT. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED NOW THIS ALL NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND WE ARE SCARED THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE BRAKE ISSUE HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND EVENTUALLY IT GOTTEN WORSE AND COULDN'T STOP AT ALL. BRAKE PUMP AND VACUUM PUMP. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR US TO LOOSE OUR LIVES FOR IT TO BE FIXED. I'VE HAD SOMEONE TO FIX THE BRAKE ISSUES AND IT COST A LOT AND GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME PLEASE HELP I HAVE PROOF AND RECEIPTS OF EVERYTHING.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS I AM UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY APPLYING THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST GETS HARD AND DOESNT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A BAD MECHANICAL BRAKE VACUUM PUMP THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SAFTEY CONCERN AS I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE THAT WAS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET, BECAUSE I COULDNT STOP THE TRUCK. GM NEEDS TO ACCEPT ACCOUTABILITY AND RECALL THIS FAULTY PART

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 ON OUR WAY HOME FROM NC. WE HAD JUST OPENED THE SUN ROOF IN TILT MODE AND A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT LIKE NOISE. WE REALIZED THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. GLASS FELL ALL IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE CARS TRAVELING ALL AROUND US, BUT WE NEVER SAW ANY DEBRI FLYING OUR WAY SO IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THIS HAPPENED.

INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS FLASH WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES, AND WHEN ACTIVATING LEFT TURN SIGNAL. HAZARD DURING DARKNESS, NUISANCE DURING DAYLIGHT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A BOOMING SOUND SUDDENLY OCCURRED DUE TO THE SUN ROOF EXPLODING. SHARDS OF GLASS FELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CASEY CHEVROLET (11700 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TAHOE WOULD NOT STOP.. EVERYTIME PUT IN REVERSE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AN WILL NOT STOP. HAD IT CHECK OUT AN WAS TOLD IT WAS VACUUM PUMP. FORWARD AN BACK... WAS TOLD ALSO THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL HAS DONE SAME...JUST GOT IT IN AUGUST.. I HAVE PUT 4000 ON IT..

I HAVE 77K MILES IN MY CHEVY TAHOE. RECENTLY, MY BRAKES FAILED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME IT COULD OF BEEN SERIOUS RESULTING IN MAJOR INJURIES. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD APPROX 20 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL GM DEALER I WAS ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND GET IT TOWED. I'VE RESEARCHED THAT MANY OF THIS YEAR AND MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH THE BRAKES. CALLING IT THE FAULTY VACUUM PUMPS. WHAT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 I FELT VIBRATION IN MY BRAKES AND THE TECH RECOMMENDED TO REOLACE MY FRONT BRAKES WHICH I DID. MY VEHICLE IS NOW GETTING REPAIRED BUT IN THE MEANTIME THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THE MODELS OUT ON THE SAME ROADS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DRIVE ON, TOTALLY UNSAFE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL OF US.
