Since purchasing my vehicle in 2016 i have had multiple issues. I have always noticed a drip of oil in my garage that wasn't consistent and when telling my dealership about it they stated they would look into it and found nothing. I was driving down the road and the side door black fascia flew off, the dealership replaced 3 stating it was still under the 34k warranty. I had requested they replace/secure the 4th and…

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…

The braking system failed while driving; i was approaching a traffic light and slowing down and at about 15-20 mph and slowing the brake pedal went straight to the floor. The vehicle was no longer slowing down so i pumped the brakes to try and regain some kind of braking and the abs system tried to kick in but was only partially affective and slowed the vehicle down enough to come to a stop after i crossed the…

We took this vehicle to the dealer yesterday for the recent brake system recall. We have been having problems with brakes for awhile but just hadn't taken it in. And then we heard about the recall so we took it in because it sounded like the same issue we had been experiencing. I can say that their 'fix' of reprogramming the software did not solve the problem. When moving slow or going from froward to reverse when…

Recalled issued by dealer in september 2019. I received the notice on 10/21/2019. Recall # n192268490. I had the vehicle repaired on 9/13/2019 by a 3rd party. I called the dealer about reimbursement since i repaired the vehicle before i was aware of the recall. I was informed that since i had the repair work done by a 3rd party and not a certified chevrolet dealership i would not be reimbursed. Is there any other…

My brakes failed in heavy highway traffic when trying to merge over. The vehicle was stopped then coasting and brakes would not work. Got towed to dealer for gm recall n192268490. Recall was performed. Brakes failed 45 miles later when slowly backing into driveway. The faulty program that has been recalled is known to damage the vacuum pump yet chevrolet has only recalled the program and not the vacuum pump. I filed…

Brakes were faulty. The car was not stopping at slow speeds. After going back and forth with dealer and showing them the 'diagnostic tip' out for this known issue, they replaced vacuum pump free of charge. I asked why they didn't replace the other items listed as recommended on the notice. Now 7 months later, the other parts are leaking and need replacement. This should have been replaced at same time.

Brake pedal not responding. Pushing the pedal at a drivethru window and kept moving. Had to jam on the pedal all the way to the floor to finally stop, put in park. Luckily no one in front of my to hit. Able to duplicate problem several times; mainly when coasting and at slow speed. Braking at driving seems to work better, still seems to be off though. Was able to slowly return to work, with another employee…

Service brake assist came on and vehicle is very hard to stop even when applying enormous pressure on the brake pedal. This accrues at lower speeds and is very dangerous to the consumer.

After reading the large number of similar problems with the 2015 tahoes and after speaking with individuals in this area in business with gm, i feel even more unsafe than i have before. I was told that although numerous problems and multiple lawsuits with the 2015 tahoe's, that there has been no total recall with my specific vin number. Shocking. I did see several recalls of great concern that i had not been made…

Brakes randomly started not working. A lot of resistance, unable to stop, unable to push brake to floor. Finally got somewhere and parked after avoiding three accidents, vehicle had to be towed. Brake booster is bad. This seems to be a common problem with the 2015 tahoe. Why hasn't this been a recall????

2015 chevy tahoe, we purchased two months ago still under factory warranty. I was turning around in the driveway, hit the brakes, and the brake pedal wouldn't move. It was extremely stiff, causing me to crash the vehicle into my utility trailer. I pushed as hard as possible and nothing happened. There was almost no braking pressure at all and my suv just kept going. I purchased this vehicle for my family but now…

Driving my car today and had a huge issue with my brakes. When backing out of parking space and noticed someone walking behind me and hit the brakes, it was like they were stuck. After a couple of seconds they finally gave and stopped, so i just thought maybe it was a fluke. This happened while i was 2 hours away from home. Then on drive back home, i got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic because of an accident on…

Lost all brake boost while backing a boat down a steep boat ramp. Was able to stop, but i'm sure a smaller person (like my wife) would not have been able to. The repair shop replaced the vacuum pump. I now understand this is a common, known gm problem.

Brake vacuum pump loses pressure when brakes pressed repetitively. While in traffic i rear ended another motorist due to brake pressure loss. Causing damage to both vehicles. No injuries due to low speed but even at high speeds brake pressure is lost, if the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly you lose all brake assist. Vehicle was brought in for recall regarding abs software update but brakes still feel horrible.…
