2016 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

There’s a modulator in the rear end of my SUV that has been melting near exhaust every since purchased had taken to the dealership it was purchased from and also back to a Chevrolet dealership. At the time my warranty was still on vehicle at both places was told I will have to cover cost. This issue is very defective afraid of a fire being caused. I have small children and this matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The dealership states to just tuck it in keep a way from exhaust pipe which is dangerous and impossible to keep away when driving.

This vehicle is less than 5 years old, has less than 63K miles, and the front struts are blown and leaking oil and rear shock is locked up. This makes the vehicle dangerous to drive and difficult to control on bumpy roads.

BUBBLE IN TIRE, FILLED WITH AIR NO LEAKS BUBBLE BACK THE NEXT DAY.

AN ISSUE RECENTLY STARTED OCCURRING WHERE IT WILL STALL MOMENTARILY AND NOT MOVE WHILE IN GEAR. THE ENGINE WILL REV, BUT IS NOT TRANSFERRED TO THE WHEELS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. ON 5/4/21, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while the wipers were in operation, the wipers were seized without warning. The contact pulled over to the side of the road during the failure and waited for approximately 5 minutes before the wipers started to operate as intended. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

TAHOE FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT GEARS WHEN IT'S NOT GOING ABOVE 25MPH. IT'S HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE TAHOE IS PUT INTO GEAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME THOUGH. IT GOES AWAY AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S NO POWER TO THE ENGINE EVEN WHEN ITS IN MOTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKES BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE ITS STUTTERING, LIKE ITS MISFIRING, BUT I'VE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY'RE FINE. THERE'S ALSO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT THE MECHANICS I'VE TAKEN IT TO CAN'T DECIPHER WHY ITS ON. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER WAS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. I'VE HAD THE TAHOE FOR 4 YEARS NOW.

BRAKES HARD TO PUSH AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS. LIKE IN PARKING LOTS, RED LIGHTS OR AT A DRIVE THRU. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN THE ANTILOCK BREAKING SYSTEM KICKS IN. THIS IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TAKE A FARTHER DISTANCE TO STOP.

I FIRST NOTICED THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO GO A COUPLE TIMES AFTER BEING AT A RED LIGHT. ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN WOULD ABRUPTLY SHIFT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. HAVE JUST OVER 83,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS VERY GOOD AT GETTING IT MAINTENANCED. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED 3 DAYS BEFORE AND AT THAT TIME I MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FOR MUCH LONGER TO CHECK IT OUT AND I COULD NOT WAIT. 3 DAYS LATER WHILE IN DRIVE THE RPMS WERE REVING UP WHILE IN MOTION ON THE STREET BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN I FEEL.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 15 MPH), AND WHILE IN REVERSE GEAR, MY 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS FAILS TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO APPEARS TO LOSE POWER ASSIST AND WILL NOT DEPRESS EVEN UNDER EXTREME FOOT PRESSURE APPLICATIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE CONTINUING TO ROLL UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION ALSO OCCURS WHEN IN DRIVE (ALBEIT NOT AS FREQUENTLY AS WHILE IN REVERSE) AND ALSO AT SLOW SPEED. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO ATLANTIC CHEVROLET (NY) FOR A RECALL BUT THE CONDITION WAS NOT RECTIFIED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY BUT IS EXTREMELY PRECARIOUS IN PROXIMITY TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. RECALL # N192268490 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645 AND 20V603

WHEN I START TAHOE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE POWER STEERING, STEERING ASSIST REDUCED DRIVE WITH CAUTION, AND PARK ASSIST OFF ALL FLASH ON DASH. BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND STABILTRAK LIGHT ARE ALL ON. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING.TAHOE HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK NOW. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.TAHOE ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT.

THE RIGHT CENTER ROW SEAT BELT RETRACTS SLOWLY AND NOT ALL THE WAY LEAVING IT LOOSE HANGING. NO TWISTS ARE FOUND IN THE BELT ITSELF CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION TO RETRACTING.

ON JANUARY 29, 2021, MY 2016 TAHOE LT, WITH 69,676 MILES, EXPERIENCED A "BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP FAILURE". THE VEHICLE WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE (DRIVEWAY), IN REVERSE, MOVING VERY SLOWLY BACKWARD, WHEN I ENGAGED THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS HARD AND WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER AN ABNORMAL DISTANCE (WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE). ONCE I STOPPED, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN STARTED THE IGNITION AND NO WARNING SENSORS/ LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED. I THEN PLACED THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO CHECK THE BRAKES. I MOVED FORWARD SLOWLY, WHEN I PUSHED THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS ONCE AGAIN HARD CAUSING ME TO PUMP THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BECOME FLUTTERING AND THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER AN ABNORMAL DISTANCE (WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE). BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE SAFETY RISK, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE THE 'BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP' ON FEBRUARY 2, 2022, AT MY COST.

SAFETY PROBLEM- TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING. CAR STOPPED - PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, CAR HESITATES TO MOVE AND FEELS LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL WHILE PRESSING THE GAS THEN FINALLY VIOLENTLY JERKS INTO GEAR. CAR DRIVES AS IF TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. RPM IS FLUCTUATING. CAR ALSO HAS A WEIRD VIBRATION - TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE

VEHICLE SHOWED "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE ON DASH DISPLAY COMES ON EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED. TOOK VEHICLE TO NICK MAYER GM IN LEWISBURG,TN AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED TO NEED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM REPLACED AT A COST OF 1380.00 VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THIS DEALERSHIP BY ME AS THE ONLY OWNER AND HAS 34000 ACTUAL MILES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE FIRST WARNING ON A CITY STREET,.DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT WITH THIS CONDITION COMPLETE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NON FUNTIONAL CAN YOU HELP ME GET THIS FIXED??

The DIC shows “CAL” and will not allow direction of travel. The navigation system will not re-calibrate after many efforts to do so with instructions from manufacturer.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES DELAYED STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE INITIAL INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 10/16/20 WHILE APPROACHING A 4 WAY STOP--THE VEHICLE ROLLED THRU THE STOP. ON 10/21/20 IT OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, PULLED UP SLIGHTLY AND STOPPED TO PUT IN REVERSE, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL. NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED IN THESE SITUATIONS AS NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND. OWNER'S HUSBAND INSPECTED BRAKE PADS AND ALL WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATION AND BRAKE FLUID WAS AT APPROPRIATE LEVEL--NOTED THAT WHEN THE BREAK PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES THE PRESSURE COULD BE FELT BUILDING AT THE PEDAL BUT VEHICLE WOULD STILL ROLL.

SERVICE STABILITRAK, STABILITRAK INITIALIZING, STEERING ASSIST REDUCED DRIVE WITH CAUTION, AND PARK ASSIST OFF ARE ALL DASH ERRORS ON 2016 CHEVY TAHOE THAT DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND COSTLY REPAIRS WHICH RESULTED IN FULL CONTROL OF VEHICLE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND ROADS. STEERING TIGHTENS, ABS BRAKING AFFECTED AND TRACTION IS REDUCED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS FAULTY. NOT COMMUNICATING WITH ON STAR. MAP POSITION SHOWS TAHOE SOMEWHERE IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 VEHICLE HAD A ROUGH IDLE AND TRIED TO STALL AT THE FIRST STOP MADE AFTER CAR SAT FOR A FEW HOURS CAR DID NOT STALL COMPLETELY. AT THE SECOND STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED, WAS PUT INTO PARK AND RE STARTED. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN IDLE IT STALLED FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP HOME. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED IT SHUT OFF VERY VIOLENTLY AND JUMPED FORWARD. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT FELT AS IF I WAS REAR ENDED. VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT AND WAS TEST DRIVEN THE NEXT DAY AND PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. IDLE WAS A LITTLE ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE ALSO RAN SLIGHTLY ROUGH WHILE DRIVING. AT THIS POINT NO CHECK ENGINE OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON AND ALL GAUGES SEEMED NORMAL. CAR WAS DRIVEN ALMOST EVERY DAY AS NORMAL, APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES A DAY 4 DAYS A WEEK WITH NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS AND ONLY A SLIGHTLY NOTICEABLE ROUGH IDLE AND ROUGH DRIVE. TODAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2020, TWO WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 30 MILES AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT AND SAT FOR 8 HOURS. WITHIN 2 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER SITTING FOR THE 8 HOURS, THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR AND THE RPM WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO GO APPROXIMATELY 2 MORE MILES. AFTER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. THE RPM WAS GOING UP, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE BUT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE WITH NO SUCCESS. I ALSO TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RE STARTING IT WITH NO SUCCESS. THE VEHICLE BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME AND MOVED THE VEHICLE.

THE TRUCK AT TIMES WILL DOWN SHIFT ON ITS OWN.

ITS SEEMS THAT THE ABS COMPUTER STOPPED WORKING AND THE BREAK AND TRACTION CONTROL ASSIST ALSO.

AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AND WITH NO WARNING A POPPING NOISE SOUNDED FROM THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DEPRESSING COMPLETELY INTO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION GIVEN THE LACK OF BRAKING ABILITIES. THIS IS A SEVERAL TON VEHICLE AND I EXPECT THE BRAKES TO WORK AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ONCE BEFORE TO REMEDY THIS RECALL BUT IT WAS CLEARLY NOT FIXED. THE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY WAS FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE BRAKING SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY", FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST". A LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AS WELL AND I AM UNSURE OF THE SPECIFIC MEANING OF THIS LIGHT. A SECOND LIGHT SHOWING "ABS" WAS FLASHING TO ALSO CATCH MY ATTENTION TO THE CURRENT ISSUE AT HAND.

WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIX MY AC OVER A MONTH AGO WAA TOLD PART NEEDED WAS ON INTERNATIONAL BACK ORDER

This complaint is with respect to the GM Infotainment System. While driving on the 405 freeway in Orange County, CA, the sound level of the infotainment system went to maximum. This being extremely painful, I tried to turn down the volume of the sound system. All controls were frozen and inoperative. I had to pull off the freeway and find a parking spot so I could turn off the engine for a short time to allow the electronics to reset. I had my wife and granddaughter with me. I have had this infotainment system freeze at other times such as using the navigation system, or the sound system. This could be a very dangerous condition while driving. I can imagine a driver being greatly distracted while attempting to deal with a problem such as this, or even a lesser problem. What is needed is a way to reset the electronics while driving. This could be a special button or pushing a pair of existing buttons. I consider this a very dangerous problem. I queried the dealership for a reset procedure but they had nothing to offer.

2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY AND WAS UNASTABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SWAYING UNCONTROLLABLY AND FLIPPED ON IT'S SIDE. THE TRAILER WAS TOTALED.

I have a 2016 Chevy Tahoe LTZ. It has the air ride suspension. I need all new shocks and struts and a new air ride air suspension pump. Reported this issue when the vehicle had 60-66k miles on it. I was never told what was wrong until about 2 weeks ago. The grand total of replacing these issues is over 6k. I called Chevy/GMC theres nothing they will do as it’s out of any warranty even though the problem has been reported/documented way before it hit 84k. Jim Shorkey Chevy is a joke and Boby Rahal has no clue what warranty they’re selling people. This makes for a very loud, very rough ride that’s hard to control going any speed. There was also a valve that would squeak when it went from the V4 to the V8. In order to fix that i needed a whole new exhaust and muffler. Chevy would not cover any of this even though there is warranty for emissions through Chevy I can’t remember the year but i know the miles were 90k. I don’t have that on the car and for whatever reason an exhaust and muffler are not considered emissions even though if there was a hole or malfunction with them I wouldn’t pass the emissions here in PA. Make that make sense. All of these problem were reported within the year of buying this car back in 2020. I didn’t get a diagnosis for these problems until 2023 and 30k miles later. I did and still do have issues with the brake even though the vacuum pump was replaced back when I bought it. My antenna also leaked and I had to pay for that out of pocket. I’d love to stay with a gmc/Chevy but if I’m going to constantly have to pour money into it I’ll never go back.

I HAVE A 2016 TAHOE THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER. I HAD ALSO PURCHASED A PROTECTION PLAN WITH FINISHING TOUCH THAT THEY TALKED US INTO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR ON THE PAINT AND INTERIOR. 3.5 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF FADED. WE CONTACTED THE PROTECTION PLAN AND THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF. THEY SENT AN ADJUSTER OUT AND HE CLASSIFIED AS CLEAR COAT FAILURE. THEN THE RUN AROUND STARTED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED WITH THE ASSISTANT MANAGER IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE BROUGHT OUT THE MANAGER AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS PAINT FAILURE. SO THEN THE DEALERSHIP GETS INVOLVED WITH CHEVROLET. THE FIRST CALL COMES BACK AND SAYS THEY WILL COVER 20%. I TOLD THEM THAT SOME ONE WAS GOING TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND IT WON'T BE ME. THEY SOLD ME A PROTECTION PLAN THROUGH FINISHING TOUCH FOR THE PAINT AND THE INTERIOR SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO COVER THE DAMAGE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I GET A CALL STATING THAT BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP, CHEVROLET AND FINISHING TOUCH IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST. NOW IT GETS BETTER. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE HOOD AND THE ROOF REPAINTED. AFTER A WEEK AT THE BODY SHOP THE CAR IS READY TO BE PICKED UP. WE WALK UP TO THE CAR AND IT IS ALL SHINY AND LOOKING GOOD. BUT THE COLOR DOESN'T MATCH. WE CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER OUT AND HE SAYS HE CAN'T SEE THE ISSUE. THE TAHOE IS A BROWNSTONE METALLIC AND THE HOOD IS MORE BRONZE THAN THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. HE TELLS ME HE CAN GET THE PAINT MANAGER TO COME SPEAK TO ME BECAUSE HE CAN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A OVERCAST DAY SO IT DOESN'T SHOW REALLY BRIGHT BUT MY HUSBAND AND I CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE. WHILE WE ARE WAITING FOR THE MANAGER FROM THE BODY SHOP TO ARRIVE WE WALK AROUND THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP STATES CHEVROLET WILL NOT BLEND THE PAINT TO MATCH.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TAHOE WHEN IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE VEHICLE AND IT SHUT OFF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CRANK THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN IT MADE A VERY LOUD SOUND AND DIED. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP IT WAS FOUND THAT THE VALUE SPRING IN THE #2 CYLINDER WAS BROKEN AND THE PUSH ROD WAS BENT. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 75,200 MILES ON IT. NOW, I AM EXPERIENCING A CHUGGING FEELING WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE. PRETTY SURE I HAVE ANOTHER SPRING THAT'S ABOUT TO BREAK. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WILL DRIVING. THEN TURNED OFF WHEN RESTARTED THE CAR.WILL DRIVING THE IN THE RAIN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND STAY ON.I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT.IT DIDN'T. SO IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE? *TR

HOLE HAS FORMED IN THE CONDENSER WHERE A FAULTY WELD WAS MADE CAUSING ALL FREEON TO LEAK OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STOP WORKING. I AM DISABLED AND HAVE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND GM IS NOT RECALLING THIS PART DUE TO NO SAFETY ISSUES. HOWEVER, FOR ME THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT BE IN A VEHICLE WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING IN MY STATES EXTREME SUMMER TEMPERATURES.

The transmission is defective. Bucks, jumps, and hard shifts decelerating or accelerating. I drive for cancer treatments with my kids and grandchildren. Monday we were almost unable to make it home. Inability to accelerate to merge onto interstate. So hard and loud we thought the transmission was going to fall out in the tunnel. After researching I noticed Gm has a pending class action lawsuit for the issue. Dealership kept telling me it was the spark plug wires and plugs. Replaced twice to no avail. I noticed there are issues reported for the Tahoe and the traverse. Even though these two vehicles are not listed in the lawsuit; the Tahoe 4wd has the same v8 engine as the Sierra, Escalade, and Silverado. This is a major safety issue . Regardless of a legal loophole of design vs defect or materials.

PURCHASED CAR WITH 120 MILES, ABOUT 25K MILES I NOTICED SMALL DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM COMPLETE STOP. MENTIONED TO DEALER THEY STATED ALL WAS OK. AT 50K MILES THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION WAS FAR MORE NOTICEABLE. I WOULD ACCELERATE AND RPM WOULD GO UP TO 4,5 OR6 BEFORE CAR WOULD MOVE START TO MOVE. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER, DID ROAD TEST WITH TECH AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOMETHING DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT STATED HE WOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST LOOK IT OVER. AFTER HAVING CAR FOR 2 WEEKS WE DID ANOTHER ROAD TEST WITH MASTER TECHNICIAN AND HE STATED HARD SHIFTING WAS NORMAL ACCELERATION FOR THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. HE SAID ULTIMATELY THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES SO CAR IS 100% FINE. AT 63,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT! I DROVE CAR ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 145 MILES WITH NO ISSUE, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WHEN I PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. FINALLY AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF ENGINE REVVING CAR JERKED BACK AND ROLLED FORWARD SLIGHTLY. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR INTO STRIP MALL PARKING LOT. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY WE STILL HAVE NO TROUBLE CODES! THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER BECAUSE IT IS 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY.

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR ENGINE LIGHT AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY. WAS TOLD UNEVEN WEAR ON BRAKES, THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SOON (25083, MILES ON VEHICLE)THEY DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE NOTICE ABOUT UNEVEN FRONT BRAKE PAD WEAR BULLETIN #PIT5377D. ANAOW AT LATEST CHECK , METAL TO METAL, WAS INFORMED OF THE BULLEIN FROM A BRAKE PLACE. DEALERSHIP WAS WELL AWARE OF VEHICLE HAVING DEFECTIVE PADS AND ROTORS, YET DIDNOT INFORM CUSTOMER!

HAD VEHICLE WORKED ON AND TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AFTER GOT TRUCK BACK.

WENT THRU THE CAR WASH AND THE CAR FILED UP WITH GAS FUMES ON MY WAY HOME SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT THE FUMES CAME THRU THE VENTS.EYES WERE BURNING IT WAS SO STRONG I ALSO HAD TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 90,000

IN SEVERAL INSTANCES THE 2016 TAHOE LTZ WILL NOT STOP IF YOU ARE GOING SLOW LIKE IN A DRIVE THRU OR PICKING UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL I HAVE HAD THE TAHOE IN FOR THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE VACUUM PUMP BUT IT STILL DOES IT NOTICED IT THE OTHER DAY WHEN BACKING THE BOAT IN THE WATER I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE HAD THE BACK BRAKE CALIBERS REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES TO TELL THEM THAT THE RECALL THEY SAID THEY FIXED IS STILL NOT FIXED THEY SAID THEY DID WHAT THE RECALL CALLED FOR I AM JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I DO NOT THINK THE REPROGRAMMING WORKS IT IS STILL AN ISSUE I AM FOR CERTAIN THIS IS NOT THE FIX FOR THE 2016 CHEVY TAHOE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD TO STOP AT SLOWER SPEEDS. VACUUM BOOSTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. JUST STARTED THIS WEEK.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING AND THOUGHT MAYBE I HIT A SLICK SPOT ON THE ROAD BUT THE SAME THING DID NOT HAPPEN TO OTHER CARS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR STARTED SLIDING LIKE IT WAS ON ICE BUT THE BRAKES AND STEERING WERE NON FUNCTIONAL. I COULD TURN THE WHEEL AND PRESS THE BRAKES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, NO ALARMS OR MESSAGES CAME UP BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE INCIDENTS. I WAS VERY LUCKY IN BOTH INSTANCES IN THAT THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. HEAVEN FORBID MY CHILDREN OR ANYONE ELSE HAD BEEN IN THE CAR.

I AM A POLICE FLEET MANAGER THAT HAS AN ALL CHEVY TAHOE FLEET. IN OCTOBER 2019, I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FOR CHEVY RECALL N192268490 AND EVERY VEHICLE IN THE FLEET WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE RECALL. THE RECALL WAS TO REPROGRAM THE BRAKES, SO BRAKING WOULD STILL BE POSSIBLE EVEN IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS A FAULTY SECONDARY HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP. I WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAD TWO TAHOES ALREADY HAVE A VACUUM BOOSTER FAILURE, WHICH RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM ARISES DURING SLOW SPEED BRAKING, SUCH AS PARKING LOTS OR SLOW SPEED PATROL. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLES TO CHEVY FOR THE RECALL, AN OFFICER WAS MANEUVERING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, BARELY AVOIDING A COLLISION. OBVIOUSLY, GM'S BAND-AID RECALL DOES NOT FIX OR EVEN OVERRIDE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS AGREED THE RECALL WAS A PLACEBO AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM BOOSTER. AS PER A RECENT LETTER FROM GM, THEY HAVE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VACUUM PUMP, FOR FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE LIABILITY PLACED ON MUNICIPALITIES, WHO HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO USE THEIR FLEET VEHICLES WITH KNOWN BRAKING ISSUES, IS AN UNFAIR BURDEN AND RISK. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE VACUUM BOOSTERS! *JS

WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 65) MY 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE SEEMED TO HAVE NO STEERING, SIMILAR TO HOW A STEERING WHEEL FEELS WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF, AS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING OVER A KNOLL WITH A SLIGHT CURVE TO THE LEFT. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO CHECK TO SEE IF VEHICLE WAS IN FACT STILL RUNNING, WHICH IT WAS, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT WHICH TIME THE TAHOE DARTED LEFT INTO THE OTHER LANE WHERE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING, CAUSING THAT VEHICLE TO HIT THE TAHOE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR. THE TAHOE THEN CONTINUED BROADSIDE UNTIL IT BROKE FREE OF IMPACT WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE, AND TURNED BACKWARD INTO THE MEDIAN. THE TAHOE TRAVELLED BACKWARDS THRU THE MEDIAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 80FT AT WHICH TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE TAHOE OUT OF NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC. THE TAHOE CAME OUT OF THE MEDIAN BROADSIDE, BACK INTO THE LEFT LANE & STOPPED. THE STEERING WHEEL NEVER MOVED DURING THIS ACCIDENT. THE STATE TROOPER SUGGESTED THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED THE ENTIRE TIME BASED ON THE BLACK MARKS IN THE ROAD. ALSO, EVEN WITH A DIRECT SIDE IMPACT BY THE OTHER VEHICLE, THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING GASOLINE FROM THE TANK. SUSPECT IT IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE ON TOP OF THE TANK--NO HOLES OR IMPACT ON TANK APPARENT ON THE UNDER SIDE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IS STILL LEAKING OIL FROM THE DRAIN PAN EVEN AFTER RE-SEALED BY DEALER. THIS IS ALL IN ADDITION TO THE A/C GOING OUT TWICE....AND NEW LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE.

THINKING OF GETTING AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE I NEED SOMEONE TO FIX MY CAR NOW

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY TAHOE AND I NOTICED SOME OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT MINE DOESN'T HAVE THAT RECALL. I BEEN SEEING SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST ON MY DISPLAY, AND WITH THAT I HAVE PROBLEMS STOPPING MY VEHICLE AT A SLOW SPEED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M BACKING UP OUT OF MY GARAGE, OR TRYING TO PARK AT A PARKING SPACE. I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL HARD TO STOP, AT ONE TIME I HAD TO PUR IT IN NEUTRAL CAUSE I COULDN'T STOP. I'M AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WON'T STOP AND I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGES CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LIKE I SAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE HAVE RECALL, I RESEARCHED AND IT SEEMS THAT FROM 2015 TO 2017 THEY HAVE RECALLS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED.

2016 TAHOE W/ 96,000 MILES BEGAN RIDING EXTREMELY ROUGH ANY SPEED. SO MUCH BOUNCE AND JARRING THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON ANY ROUGH ROAD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL SHOCKS AND STRUTS FAILED AND ARE FULLY EXTENDED. COST TO REPAIR OVER $3,000 FOR 4 SHOCKS/STRUTS.

HELLO MY TAHOE WAS IN A CHEVROLET DEALER ON OCTOBER 25 BECAUSE OF A BRAKE RECALL, THE TRUCK WAS 'FIXED' THAT SAME DAY. THE ONLY THING IS THAT MY TRUCK WON'T START ANYMORE SINCE THEN. I HAD MY TRUCK PARKED IN A GARAGE SINCE THE DAY WE GOT HOME FROM THE DEALER AND TODAY 11/13/19 WHEN I GET TO TURN IT ON IT JUST WON'T START. ALSO MY HUSBAND HAD A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR BEFORE WE KNEW THE TRUCK WAS ON RECALL. HE WAS IN A CITY STREET AND HE TRIED TO BRAKE BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIS WAS MAKING A STOP THE BRAKES JUST DIDN'T WORK, HE TRIED TO AVOID THE CAR BY TURNING TO HIS LEFT BUT THE FRONT SIDE OUR TRUCK HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION OF THE INSURANCE WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. THANK YOU HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.

I was driving on the 405 freeway, passing through Orange,, County, CA. While adjusting the sound level of the radio, part of the Infotainment system, the volume jumped to maximum level. These automobiles have superior sound systems and the sound was at a painful level. Nothing that I could touch had any effect on the sound level. Also in the car was my wife and a young granddaughter who started crying. So I had to exit the freeway and find a parking place where I could stop the engine and allow the Infotainment system reset and I could then select a normal volume. This could have been the cause of an accident because all of my attention was turned to the electronics. Freezes and non operation of the other features of these electronics has also occurred which causes the driver to turn his attention to getting things working again. What is severely needed is a way to easily reset the electronics by the driver. This could be a simple button on the steering wheel or a combination of buttons that would safely reset the system back to normal while driving.
