2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE EXTERIOR SIDE PANEL THAT SEPARATE FRONT AND BACK OF TAHOE THREATENS TO FLY OFF DURING DRIVING. IT'S PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM 50+ MILES PER HOUR. IT'S AS IF WIND IS GETTING UNDER THEM AND ITS ALWAYS A CONCERN THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OFF. WE OFTEN ARE STOPPING AND HITTING IT BACK IN PLACE. IF IT COME OFF IT WILL BE A $130-180 PIECE EACH SIDE AND COSMETICALLY UGLY FOR OUR VEHICLE AND A DANGER TO OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES AS A FLYING OBJECT. PLEASE RECALL THIS AS WE ARE HEARING FROM DEALERSHIPS IT IS A COMMON PART COMING OFF OF THE TAHOES. IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST ONCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AND THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AMPERAGE FROM THE BATTERY WAS INSUFFICIENT, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY IF THE FAILURE WAS FULLY REMEDIED AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,500.

THE AC CONDENSER HAS A LEAK AND THERE IS NO OPTION FOR A REPLACEMENT CONDENSER AS THEY ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA AND COULD TAKE UP TO 120 DAYS TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. SO GM EXPECTS MY FAMILY OF 5 WHICH INCLUDES 3 KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 8 TO DRIVE A VEHICLE FOR AN ENTIRE SUMMER IN SOUTH CAROLINA WITH NO AC.

THE BRAKES POWER ASSIST FAILS AFTER APPLICATION OF BRAKES IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN REVERSING. WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION AND WHEN APPLYING LIGHT PRESSURE NUMEROUS TIMES, THE BRAKES POWER ASSIST FAILS AND YOU HAVE TO APPLY VERY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL TO STOP. REVERSING, THE BRAKES POWER ASSIST FAILS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER INITIAL BRAKE APPLICATION.

JANUARY 2016 I PURCHASED A 2015 CERTIFIED CHEVYTAHOE (VIN [XXX]) FROM KUNI CHEVROLET CADILLAC LOCATED 2449 FULTON AVE,SACRAMENTO, CA 95825. SIX MONTHS LATER I BEGIN EXPERIENCING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.THOSE ISSUES INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: FLICKERING OF THE HEAD LIGHTS WHEN USING TURNING SIGNALS AND OR USE OF ROLLING UP THE CAR WINDOWS, THE DASH BOARD COMPLETELY POWERING OFF, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY POWERING OFF, AND THE STERLING WHEEL LOCKING DURING ANY TURNS. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THESE ISSUES TAKES PLACE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUES HOWEVER, AUTONATION CHEVROLET AIRPORT CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE NEAR FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP CAUSING THE CAR TO SPIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AS I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO WHICH I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTIONS FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINS UNTIL THE LOCKED WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK THUS ALLOWING ME TO MOVE. ANOTHER OCCASION TOOK PLACE WHILE EXITING OFF A HIGH WAY RAMP TO WHICH I SLAMMED ON BREAKS NEARLY CAUSING OTHER CARS TO REAR END MY VEHICLE. I HAVE PROVIDED AUTONATION CHEVROLET AIRPORT WITH VIDEO PROOF OF THE UNSAFE ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING. I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO EXPRESS IN GREAT DETAIL TO BOTH THE GENERAL MANGER [XXX] AT AUTONATION CHEVROLET AIRPORT AND THE FOLLOWING SENIOR ADVISORS AT THE GMC/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE COOPERATE OFFICE [XXX]. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CASE NUMBERS ISSUED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS AND THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE ([XXX]). I AM SEEKING TO GET OUT OF THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED OFF AS A FAIR CLICK WHEN TURNING LEFT. WITH TIME IT FOR PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 3 DAYS THEY STATED MY STEERING BEARING WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. NO SOONER AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR (STILL IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT) I NOTICE THE SAME CLICKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. IT'S NOW BEEN 3 WHOLE DAYS AND NO ONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN FIND THE ISSUE. THEY DO ADMIT TO HEARING AND FEELING THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT REASSURE ME THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I CAN COME PICK UP MY CAR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO BE IN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO. I REFUSE TO PICK UP MY CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY TAKEN CARE OF.

THE LIFTGATE MALFUNCTION IS BOTH BIZARRE AND DANGEROUS. WHEN OPENED IT PROCEEDS TO DROP ABOUT A FOOT QUICKLY, ENOUGH TO CREATE SERIOUS HEAD CONTACT. IT THEN PROCEEDS TO CLOSE WITHOUT USE OF SENSORS, REPEATEDLY PINNING THE OPERATOR AGAINST THE BACK OF THE CAR. ONLY WITH STRENGTH AND AGILITY DID MY WIFE MANAGE TO SLIDE OUT THE SIDE. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS A BRUISE ON HER LEG. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR AN OLDER, LESS AGILE PERSON. IT HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ON OR OFF. THE DEALER PLANS TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE ACTUATOR, BUT IT WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. CHEVY HAS DECLINED COVERAGE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WE DID NOT BUY IT FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND WE DID NOT PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. THERE IS NO RECALL OUTSTANDING SO THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO HELP US. HAD MY WIFE GONE TO A DOCTOR FOR THE BRUISE ON HER LEG CHEVY'S DECISION WOULD HAVE GONE TO A DIFFERENT SUPERVISOR, BUT WE DO NOT ACT THAT WAY. WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL THAT SHE HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO ESCAPE FROM A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT IN A FORMAT (IMOV) THAT CAN BE UPLOADED HERE. I WILL HOLD ON TO IT.
