2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THERE IS A DISTINCT DARK SECTION OR LINE ACROSS THE UPPER ONE-HALF TO 3/4 OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY WAY TO SEE AT ALL IS TO DUCK YOUR HEAD UNDER IT, OR TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER AND HE HAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT TO DATE. *TR

THERE IS A DRONE OR BUFFERING SOUND WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55 MPH. REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD QUALITY. THIS IS ON A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS A TIRE OUT OF BALANCE, BUT IT STILL MAKES THE SAME SOUND. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES. IT NEEDED LESS THAN 20 GALLONS OF FUEL TO FILL IT UP. *JS

WHEN THE RADIO IS TUNED TO CERTAIN RADIO CHANNELS, THERE IS A PRESSURE THAT FORMS IN THE VEHICLE WHICH IS SIMILAR TO WHEN FLYING AND YOUR EARS WON'T POP. THE VEHICLE ENGINE DOES NOT NEED TO BE RUNNING. THE PRESSURE IS UNBEARABLE AT ALL VOLUMES CAUSING TERRIBLE DIZZINESS AND UNENDING PAIN FROM TEMPLE TO TEMPLE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE LED STROBE LIGHTS IN THE SECOND AND THIRD ROW SEATS FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE TOP PORTION OF THE CARGO WINDOW WAS UNLEVELED AND THE GLASS WAS NOT SECURED AND COULD POTENTIALLY FRACTURE. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CARGO WINDOW WAS HIGHER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE AND THERE WAS AN EXPOSED GAP. THE SUN ROOF ALSO LEAKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CARGO DOOR WAS WELDED POORLY BY THE DEALER AND THE TRIM ON THE DOOR WAS DETERIORATING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE PAINT WAS DAMAGED ON THE HOOD AND THE PAINT WAS BUBBLING NEAR THE HINGE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE SUN ROOF, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

THE NEW 2015 TAHOES HAVE A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. I PUSHED OFF THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (FORGOT TO PUT IN PARK), EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REALIZED THE CAR WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. I QUICKLY JUMPED IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS SURPRISED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE WHEN THE CAR'S IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL! THIS IS A BIG HAZARD. THERE SHOULD EITHER BE A FAIL SAFE AND NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO TURN OFF IN DRIVE OR AUTOMATICALLY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS PRESSED. (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS ON A RECENT MODEL MERCEDES.) *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BY DOWNLOADING COMPUTER SOFTWARE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V374000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

4TH AND MOST DANGEROUS OF 4 INCIDENTS IN 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP OF 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LT. WITHOUT DRIVER INSTRUCTION OR INTERFERENCE THE 2015 TAHOE SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4WD DESPITE DIAL ON 2WD. STEERING DIFFICULT, CAR JERKED, ENGINE REVVED DIFFERENTLY AND TROUBLE IN REVERSE. NO WARNING SIGNALS ON DISPLAY AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. DROVE .5 MI., PULLED OVER RESTARTED, AND THEN "4 WHEEL DRIVE, DISMISS" ON DISPLAY OVER STEERING WHEEL (NO SEAT VIBRATION, FLASHING LIGHTS AS WITH LANE DRIFTING). TRIED TO "UNDISMISS", CONSULTED MANUAL AND ENSURED DIAL WAS IN 2WD. CUT IGNITION OFF, RESTARTED, SAME LIGHT. TEST DROVE ANOTHER 1 MI. TO SEE IF WARNING DISPLAY MALFUNCTION...CAR JERKED AND STEERING AS IF NON-POWER STEERING. CALLED DEALERSHIP (RICK HENDRICK'S CITY CHEVROLET, CHARLOTTE, NC) AND SVS TECH HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE AND CONSULTED OTHER TECHS (ON HOLD 15 MIN). FINALLY SVS MGR SAID CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT TO DRIVE IT HOME 'SLOWLY" AND THEY WOULD TOW TO DEALERSHIP AND GET ME A LOANER. SVS MGR, ON 3RD PHONE CALL AFTER I THREATENED TO NOTIFY NTSB, SAID HE WAS CALLING A GM "PROGRAM MGR" TO SEE ABOUT MY CAR'S "DANGEROUS ISSUE". AFTER THE CAR ROLLED WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF (RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS OFF TOO) AND IT HIT A DUMPSTER B/C WE HAD NOT PUT IT IN PARK, YET IGNITION STILL TURNED OFF (LUCKILY NO ONE HURT BUT SIGNIFICANT PAINT DAMAGE), KEY FOB WOULDN'T PROGRAM SEATS/MIRRORS, MYLINK WOULDN'T PAIR TO MY PHONE AND NOW TO LEARN THERE IS A RECALL FOR ROLLING B/C CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL? I AM STILL DRIVING LOANER, NO WORD FROM SVS MGR, I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN AND GSM SAID I'D HAVE TO GO TO GM DIRECT FOR A "BUY BACK". THE 1-800-222-1020# HE GAVE ME USELESS). HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING WAS TOO DIM BECAUSE OF AN INVISIBLE LINE ABOVE THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15. UPDATED 10/22/2014*LJ UPDATED 4/1/2015 *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE HID LIGHTING SYSTEM PRESENTED A VISIBLE LINE APPROXIMATELY 8-10 INCHES ABOVE THE DASHBOARD, WHICH PRESENTED A VERY DARKENED VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER WAS HINDERED GREATLY IN JUDGING WHAT WAS I FRONT OF HI,. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS WERE APPLIED, THE VISION WAS GREATLY IMPROVED. UPDATED 06/24/15.*JB
