2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

The trailer brake system continues to alert due to a wire control harness that’s defective. I’ve spent a ton trying to repair it but it continues to damage other parts of my car like the alternator and battery this week

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while stopped and attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle started jerking, failed to accelerate as intended, and lost motive power. The check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and turned off. The vehicle was restarted, and the warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the #7 valve lifter had collapsed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Recently I've noticed that when I try to accelerate or take off from stop it does not pick up speed as use to. My engine rpms rise but speed is getting less and less. I've also noticed my transmission temperature is staying between 190-200 degrees which gm has already had recalls over pertaining to this style transmission having issues due to high heat. Vehicle has always had maintenance kept up with and never abused. Have taken to local shop since warranty ran out several times for inspection of transmission well my complaints in regards and have fluid done. Recently I've noticed fluid is needing to be replaced more frequently due to losing viscosity from overheating and being burnt, has the familiar and similar smell of toast being burnt. This is a 2016 Tahoe ltz w just over 200k, yes in some ways a lot but considering the cost of vehicle new/age/synthetic fluids and everything it seems to me the transmission should last longer especially considering it's been maintained. These new vehicles are outrageous and the transmissions are very expensive as well, considering these same transmissions have had recalls from GM I'm a little aggravated and frustrated on how some can and can't. I'm familiar and aware they say it's per manufacturing plant and particular models but confused as to how if the transmission that has had recalls for overheating doesn't comply to all the transmissions that are same type, I think it's bogus n a way not to be responsible for accepting failures n having to replace all parts so gm says it only happened here n with these parts. I guarantee you if someone would take a look at gm shipping and papers they would see it. If a 2016 4l60e had problems it's more than likely all of them in that year had all same parts so therefore all acceptable to failure, its not like transmission maker chose different parts to send to different plants or this get that no thats just b.s. so there not responsible for all of them so they pick plant with most failures

Brakes shutter in reverse. Sometimes don’t work when backing out. Almost as if brakes go limp or no connection
