2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AROUND TURNS WE EXPERIENCE A LOSS OS POWER STEERING AND TOTAL VEHICLE POWER. THIS IS A CURRENT RECALL WHICH THE LOCAL DEALER IS HAS CHECKED AND SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM

AT LOW SPEEDS MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GET EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN CAUSING THE CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO STOP. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT BACK ON IT SEEMED FINE. A FEW WEEKS WENT BY WITH NO ISSUES AND THEN IT RETURNED WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. ANOTHER 3 DAYS PASSES AND THEN BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND CAN BARELY STOP THE CAR CAUSING A CLOSE COLLISION. THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH TO MAKE THE CAR STOP. DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME CAREFULLY DUE TO NEEDING TO STEP ON THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD. REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND STILL NOT WORKING. REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AND LINE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS AS THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND ALMOST HIT THE WALL. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD TOWING AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP SIGN.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 5 MPH) THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL WITH BRAKE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. EVENTUALLY STOPS BUT THIS HAPPENS IN DRIVE AND REVERSE...SCARY WHEN PARKING AND ANOTHER CAR OR OTHER OBJECT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. NO NOISE OR DASH DISPLAY INDICATOR.

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH I03 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. SYSTEM HAS GONE BLANK TWICE. WITHOUT SYSTEM, SAFETY HAZARD WARNINGS ARE INOPERABLE. THERE IS A RECALL BULLETIN BUT DEALER IS REFUSING TO ASSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH OR LESS, THE VEHICLE REQUIRED EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 10207 PHILADELPHIA RD, WHITE MARSH, MD 21162, (410) 931-8600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SEAT MOVES WHEN TURNING CORNERS 90 DEGREES. SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS 'FIXED', 30 DAYS LATER DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOVES AGAIN!

Z95 MAGNETIC SUSPENSION STRUT FAILED AND LEAKING, MAKING THE RIDE VERY BOUNCY AND UNCRONTROLLABLE. THIS FAILED AT ABOUT 65K MILES.

THE VEHICLE IS VERY BOUNCY AND HARD TO STEER. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY ADVISED IT NEEDED NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ, SURBURBAN LTZ, CADILLAC ESCALADE AND GMC DENALI THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FAILING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF.

SINCE MAY THE BRAKES HAVE NOT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND TO STOP THE CAR I HAD TO PRESS DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. EARLY ON I HAD THE FLUID LEVELS AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE SO I WAS NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I SAW A BULLETIN FROM YOUR OFFICE. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS LOW OUTPUT FROM THE VACUUM PUMP. IT COST NEARLY $700 TO REPLACE AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE PUT ON RECALL AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE BRAKES FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. I ALMOST HAD A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE PULLED FROM THE WATER WHEN LAUNCHING MY BOAT.

THE MAGNETIC RIDE STRUTS ON MY TAHOE LTD ARE FAILING. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF FAILURES BEGINNING IN THE 30,000 MILES. THEY ALSO APPEAR TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE STRUT ON A CHEVROLET. SAME STRUT AS A CADILLAC ESCALADE OR A GMC YUKON DENALI. WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. ALSO FOUND ON HIGHER END GMC AND CHEVROLET PICKUPS.
