Has a problem in the suspension when you drive it jumps like an old truck. Recently replaced the front shock absorbers that we're covered by the warranty, but the problem still continues and it also feels too loose on the brakes. Another problem, recently went out to a store and when i reversed and i wanted to stop because a vehicle was coming, the brake pedal became hard as a stone and does not stop the vehicle no…

Total strut failure at 58k miles; making car hard to maneuver. Dealership wants $1900 to fix the mag ride suspension, no powertrain coverage at all for this issue. Also, a bearing in the steering column has failed and there is no warranty coverage from that either.

Suspension bounces so badly that the vehicle becomes unstable and difficult to control. Failure happened around 75,000 miles while traveling on the interstate and is a very common failure among the tahoe, suburban, and yukons. Gm has failed its customers by not covering the defective suspension under these vehicles. This will be the last gm vehicle that i purchase, i have had nothing but trouble from this car.

Strut leaking (front driver/ passage side) and shocks malfunctioned (rear). Driving on a fairly smooth highway, doing approximately 70 mph when i noticed that my suv was bouncing and experiencing a rough ride. Pulled over at the next gas station and noticed the rear of the vehicle was a little higher than normal. Immediately took the suv to the closest repair shop (firestone). The mechanic diagnosed the problem as…

At around 59,000 miles the rear suspension was very bouncy and a hard ride. Took to the dealership and they advised the rear shocks had extended out and stuck.

I purchased my 2015 tahoe ltz in aug. 2018 with 59,582 mikes on it. My mileage is now at 73,504 & has recently started bouncing so bad when i am driving on a relatively smooth highway. Don't know what's going on with it but i suspect it's a suspension problem. It seems to get worse every time i drive since i first noticed it in may, 2019. I paid a lot for this car & expect it to last longer than 4 or 5 years. I've…

While driving suspension system allows car to bounce badly, as if all shocks are not working, ltz model has mag ride active suspension. This problem is found to be common on 2015 tahoe and suburbans. Many forums on web have reports of this system failure at low milage. My tahoe was purchased new and has only 71k miles, no collisions or accidents. All maintained ce performed as needed.

Our struts went out at 60k miles. We only owned the car for about 6 months and we bought it from a chevy dealership with only 1 other owner. We had to have them replaced and it cost $1500. We will never buy another chevy again. My husband's silverado has been nothing but a money pit as well. These expensive cars should last.

The suspension on my 2015 chevy tahoe make the truck very bouncy. I have approx. 75,000 miles on it. When going down the road i feel every bump in the road and when going into curves it feel like i may loose control of the vehicle. With all the complaint about the suspension on this vehicle i feel that chevy should have a recall on this issue.

The magnetic ride struts on my tahoe ltd are failing. Seems to be a defective design. The discussion boards are full of failures beginning in the 30,000 miles. They also appear to be the most expensive strut on a chevrolet. Same strut as a cadillac escalade or a gmc yukon denali. Which appear to have a high failure rate. Also found on higher end gmc and chevrolet pickups.

The vehicle is very bouncy and hard to steer. Took it to a dealership they advised it needed new shock absorbers. This is a common problem among 2015 chevrolet tahoe ltz, surburban ltz, cadillac escalade and gmc denali that general motors is failing to take ownership of.

My 2015 tahoe rides like i am on a washboard all the time - anytime the car is in motion. I can feel every bump in the road. It is just awful. I even camp up off my seat today just riding down the road. It started right around the time the car turned 50,000 miles. My husband has a 2011 gmc pickup truck that rides better than that vehicle. After doing some research it appears this is a problem with the magnetic ride…

Extremely rough ride in front end of 2015 tahoe while driving at low speeds. Dealership found rough ride to be caused by the suspension. Leaking shocks and struts.

Brought tahoe to dealership again and shocks/struts are leaking again, 10/2/18.

Vehicle is noticeably lower in the front end, you can see the angle of the vehicle while standing beside it. While driving down the road, coming out of a parking lot, going over a speed bump, going over an uneven part of the road, over even going over a bridge (so basically just driving in general!) the vehicle bounces up and down harshly. The vehicle will bounce several, several, several times before it rides…

2015 chevy tahoe ltz. Front magnetic ride control struts blown out with 56,000 miles. Ridiculous. $1600 cost to replace. Gm needs to recall these and replace. These should last much longer. It's a safety issue as your normal driver would probably never know. This tahoe has never even seen dirt.

Front magnetic suspension failed at 79,000 miles. Numerous similar complaints reported online from other consumers. Gm must address this!

I have a 2015 chevy tahoe ltz. Rides like crap even after i installed the $1800 front and rear struts. Its very rough at low or high speeds. Its very bouncy and dangerous. Ridiculous that a $65,000 luxury vehicle has such a bad design on the suspension!

When driving on a main highway if a bump is hit car bounces extremely too much. Really rough ride or bounces like a basketball down the road. Had a mechanic look at it and said the struts are locked up and need to be replaced. He said he sees a lot of the chevrolet tahoe's coming in with this same problem. Have not gotten them replaced yet but it is crazy how bad it has gotten recently.
