2017 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

HARD BRAKE PEDAL RESULTING IN LITTLE OR NO STOPPING POWER WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEED. TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP, YOU MUST STOMP ON THE PEDAL AS HARD AS YOU CAN. THE SITUATION TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN PARKING. THE BRAKE APPLICATION OR TWO ARE FINE, BUT AFTER THAT THE BRAKES FAIL. THIS SAME ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10081053 AND GM PIT5361B, HOWEVER THOSE DO NOT INCLUDE THE 2017 MODEL YEAR, AND I AM SEEING WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON MY 2017 TAHOE.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON I-55 SOUTH BETWEEN THE GLUCKSTADT AND MADISON EXITS AROUND 5:45PM ON 12/21/18 WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SENDING CHARDS OF GLASS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES CLOSE BY AN NO OVERPASSES WITHIN 2 MILES OF WHERE THE GLASS FAILURE OCCURRED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF. THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND NOTHING HIT THE GLASS TO CAUSE THE EXPLOSION. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THE GLASS BLEW OUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, FURTHER SUPPORTING THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT.

MY SON AND I WERE TRAVELING ON HAMPTON RD IN DALLAS TOWARDS CAMPWISDON RD IN DALLAS TEXAS. AFTER MAKING A RIGHT ONTO CAMPWISDOM ANOTHER DRIVER WAVED ME DOWN . I LET MY WINDOW DOWN WHILE IN MOTION AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ON MY DASHBOARD, NOR DID SEE SMOKE OR FLAMES.

THE DESIGN OF THE BACK PASSENGER DOORS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SHAPE OF THE DOOR IS IN A POINT AND NOT ROUNDED, IT IS NOT COVERED IN PLASTIC OR RUBBER. MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND AND STARTED TO RUN TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND STRUCK HER FOREHEAD ON THE POINTED END OF THE DOOR CAUSING A DEEP GASH THAT BLEED PROFUSELY.... SHE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE ER FOR SUTURING. VERY POOR DESIGN FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS TYPICALLY PURCHASED BY FAMILIES WITH KIDS.

*TAKATA RECALL* I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MY 2017 TAHOE PREMIER. THE ENGINE BLOCK IS A DEEP RUST COLOR. ENGINE IS EXTREMELY HOT EVEN HOURS LATER AFTER PARKING. THERE IS A THICK BLACK SLUDGE THAT IS ON NEARLY EVERY PART UNDER THE TRUCK. I STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE THAT SPED UP AS MY DRIVING SPEED INCREASES. THIS ISSUE OCCURS OFTEN BUT NOT DAILY. AS WELL AS WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY IT MAKES A HIGH PITCHED POPPING NOISE ( THE SOUND IS SIMILAR TO A SMALL ROCK BEING FLUNG ONTO THE ALUMINUM WHEEL) I ALSO HEAR GRINDING NOISES WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. METAL AGAINST METAL IS AS BEST AS I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I DECIDED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT APPEARS FINE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK OTHER LEVELS ASIDE FROM THE WINDSHIELD FLUID SO I WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS UNDER MY TRUCK I NOTICED HOW THERE WAS A LOT OF RUSTED PARTS. THE (IF I AM CORRECT) EXHAUST HOUSING LOOKED NEARLY BURNED AND THE PRODUCT STICKER THAT IS ON THERE IS 100% BITES. AS IF SOMEONE PUT A LIGHTER TO IT. NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE GUNK IS THAT IS CAKED ON EVERYTHING BELOW THE TRUCK BUT IT CAN'T BE A GOOD THING FOR SURE. ALSO, I FOUND A BOLT WEDGED BETWEEN AN AREA. WHY IS THERE A BOLT AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM? DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE MISSING PARTS ON MY ENGINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE? MY TRUCK RUNS SO HOT BUT NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. THIS EVENING AFTER SEEING WHAT I DID MADE ME FEAR THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING MY TRUCK THAT I PAY A HEFTY PAYMENT ON. IT HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD IT ONE YEAR AND AWAYS GET MY SERVICES DONE ON TIME WITH OIL CHANGES AND SO FORTH. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE OR BETTER YET ISSUES. WHO'S GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND HO LONG BEFORE SOMEONE RECALLS MY TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE !?

SHAKE/SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY AT 72 MPH UP TO AT LEAST 90 MPH. STEERING WHEEL, CENTER COUNSLE, AND SEATS SHAKE. GOES AWAY WHEN NOT ACCELERATING. BALANCED TIRES AND DID NOT FIX. DEALER THEN BALANCED TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED. THIS ALSO DID NOT FIX. DEALER KEPT MY CAR FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS AND REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS STILL DID NOT FIX IT. HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR A 3RD TIME. MAKE ME FEEL DIZZY AND NAUSEOUS.

TAKATA RECALL

2017 CHEVY TAHOE ENGINE VIBRATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN IDLE OR BELOW 500 RPMS. THE VECHICLE FEELS LIKE IS GOING TO SHUTOFF AND IT STRUGLES TO TURN ON FROM A COLD START. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VECHILE IS STATIONARY.

TAKATA RECALL: I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2016. AS OF TODAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2017 WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER, THERE IS STILL NOT A PLAN TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION / REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG. TAKATA HAS NOW FILED BANKRUPTCY. THEY'VE HAD AT LEAST 18 MONTHS TO WORK ON A REMEDY BUT AS OF YET THERE IS NONE. I DOUBT THERE WILL BE...

MY TAHOE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE OVER THE RPM AND WON'T SWITCH GEARS OR SPEED UNLESS I LET GO OF THE GAS TO BRING THE RPM DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE AS IF SOMETHING JUST POPPED OR BROKE AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. CAR IS ALSO VIBRATING/SHAKING WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. LASTLY, HEAT COMES OUT OF THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS OFF. THE CIRCULATION IS ALWAYS ON AND THE HIGHER THE SPEED (MAINLY HIGHWAY) THE MORE THE HEAT COMES OUT.

SPONTANEOUS EXPLODING SUNROOF

ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2017, I SIGNED A LEASE FOR A BRAND-NEW 2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS AT ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS NV. THREE DAYS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE MAIN STREETS MY VEHICLE KEPT HESITATING AND JUMPING AS I WOULD HAVE TO STOP IN TRAFFIC THEN MOVE AGAIN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS. THEN AS I WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE STALLED THEN ALLOWED ME TO GO. THEN SUDDENLY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE ONSTAR NOTIFICATION STATING THE DIAGNOSTIC DETECTED AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE AND MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN MONDAY 07/17/17 MORNING AT 11 AM. THE SERVICE MAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE BRAND-NEW VEHICLES BY THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IN LAS VEGAS, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR GENERAL MOTORS AND A LETTER WAS ISSUED DATED JUNE 30, 2017 THAT HE HAD TO PROVIDE TO ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. HE LET ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT. I ASKED WHY WAS THIS NOT DISCLOSE TO ME BEFORE LEASING ME THE VEHICLE IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO ALLOW ME THE CHOICE TO DECIDE IF THIS WAS SOMETHING I COULD TOLERATE. THE SALES REP NOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WERE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER OF ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY, JULY 24ONCE HE RETURNS FROM VACATION. I LET THE SALES REP KNOW THAT I WAS UNHAPPY, I WAS DECEIVED AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE THE DATED COPY OF THE LETTER #PIP5507 STALLING - HESITATION, I HAVE THE FIRST DIAGNOSTIC EMAIL STATING THE VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND I HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC EMAIL FROM ON STAR STATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DEFECTS

WATER POOLS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE ROOF AND TOP OF THE HATCH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER + DRIPS DOWN THE BACK WINDSHIELD FOR HOURS.
