2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN ONE DIRECTION; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IN ADDITION, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-3390691721. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V719000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

I LIVE IN A FAIRLY ARID CLIMATE, WHERE RAIN DOESN'T OCCUR FREQUENTLY. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER MY TAHOE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE RAIN, I NOTICED WATER DRIPPING FROM THE INSIDE DOOR PILLAR WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS WATER THAN CAME IN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. THEN ABOUT NINE DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WATER BEGAN DRIPPING FROM THE TOP CENTER CONSOLE AREA, IN A STEADY STREAM. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE SEAL ON THE HI-FREQUENCY ANTENNAE (SHARK FIN ANTENNAE), OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS FAULTY, AND THAT WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH IT. SINCE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR MY VIN, AND SINCE RAIN WAS PREDICTED TO CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY $452.32 TO HAVE A NEW ANTENNAE INSTALLED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID WHAT THEY COULD TO DRY THE AREA OUT IN BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE CEILING AND LEFT THE COVER OFF THE SIDE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SO IT WOULD DRY, TELLING ME TO RETURN IN A WEEK SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE COVER ON THE AIRBAG. IN ADDITION TO BEING OUT A LOT OF MONEY, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIDE AIRBAG POSSIBLY MALFUNCTIONING AFTER BEING WET OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

AS I WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE IN PARK, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE ASSIST HAD ACTIVATED WHILE IN PARK. I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THE PETAL DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY PLUNGED FORWARD. AS I CONTINUED TO TRY AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PETAL, THE VEHICLE FINALLY SLOWED TO A STOP. BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE ASSIST CONTINUED TO BE LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS NO BRAKES IF I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MINE AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND WERE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE VACUUM PUMP "GOING OUT". THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 49K MILES.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 2015 AND HAD THE TAHOE WITH AUTONATION CHEVY ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. AT ONE POINT IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES AT 77 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNTS, REAR TIRES AND THEY HAVE ALIGNED VEHICLE. THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. THEY OFFERED TO DO A BUY BACK BUT OF COURSE WITH A LOSS TO ME AND I FEEL THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I DID NOT BUILD THE VEHICLE. NOW AFTER TO SPEAKING TO THE NEW SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT. PLEASE FIX IT IS ALL I ASK OF CHEVY. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP???

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVY TAHOE AND USE IT HERE AND THERE. AS OF NOW I ONLY HAVE 10,000 MILES ON IT HOWEVER THE TIRES WERE BALDING AROUND 6,000 MILES AND EVEN MAYBE BEFORE THEN BUT I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. NOW IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I'M A GENTLE DRIVER AND KEEP IT ON SMOOTH ROADS. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM AFRAID THE SIDE WALLS WILL BLOW OUT ON ME OR SOMETHING EVEN WORSE MAY HAPPEN. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHAKES AND PULLS AS IT FEELS THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF DUE TO POOR TIRES. I AM NOT SURE IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THEM OR GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX (MY BRAND OF TIRES). I AM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL THIS FAR AS THE ISSUES ARE VERY APPARENT AND QUITE DANGEROUS. IF THERE IS INFO ON WHAT AN OWNER NEEDS TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THE DEFECTIVE TIRES REPLACED WHERE WOULD ONE FIND THAT LISTED OR WHO DO THEY CONTACT AND/OR WILL THEY BE CONTACTED AFTER WRITING A COMPLAINT? NOT ONLY DOES THE CAR PULL EXCESSIVELY BUT IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES, IT DOESN'T HOLD UP WELL IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO LACK OF TIRE TREAD AND THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CONSTANTLY DECREASING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PUT AIR IN SO IT'S AT THE CORRECT PSI AND EVERY MONTH, MINUS THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS I HAD THE CAR, THE ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW ALWAYS SHOWS THE PSI AS BEING SIGNIFICANTLY LOW. I JUST DON'T WANT TO FIND MYSELF IN A BAD SITUATION LIKE SOMETHING A LOT WORSE THAN HAVING MY CAR JUST PULL ME INTO THE OTHER LANE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AKA HAVE THE SIDEWILLS COMPLETELY BLOW OUT WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVING ONLY 10K MILES ON IT THIS SHOULDN'T BE A CONCERN. A QUALITY TIRE SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES BEFORE THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES MY CAR DOESN'T STOP 100% OF THE TIME. 1 TIME DURING HIGHWAY SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, 3 TIMES BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (FLAT SURFACE), 4 TIMES WHEN ON INCLINE/DECLINE OF ROAD. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, HORRIBLE CHATTERING VIBRATION COMES FROM LEFT FRONT TIRE AREA, CHATTER VIBRATION IS FELT IN BRAKE PEDAL. NO MATTER HOW HARD I APPLY THE BRAKE THE CAR KEEPS GOING - IT WILL FINALLY STOP, BUT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE ONE HIGHWAY OCCURRENCE, 2 TIMES CAR FINALLY STOPPED JUST BEFORE GOING OVER EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN PULLING FORWARD & BACKWARD TO TURN AROUND IN TIGHT AREA. IN EACH INSTANCE I AM MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE CALLING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BUT SINCE I'M OVER 36,000 WARRANTY THEY WILL CHARGE ME TO CK IT OUT,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MALFUNCTIONED AFTER INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

MY WIFE'S 2015 TAHOE HYDROPLANED SLID BACKWARDS INTO THE MEDIAN, HIT A GUARD RAIL AND ROLLED 3 TIMES. ALL SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE FRONT AIRBAGS. THIS WAS ON 8/4/2017. THEN 2 WEEKS LATER WE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE SDM SOFTWARE WHICH CONTROLS THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC I WENT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THEY HAD BECOME STIFF AND HAD TO PRESS THEM AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO SLOWLY STOP WHILE TRYING TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES. THEN I GOT THE ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE LIGHT ON. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
