    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.

    Smell of gasoline. Dealership checked the vehicle and at first could not duplicate. Then right before returning the vehicle back to me, the dealership was able to recreate the smell. After testing they returned the vehicle with a carbon monoxide detector to be kept inside my passenger door compartment on driver side. They were not able to come up with a determination as to why the smell was so strong, but did state…

    Since i have bought this vehicle in 2016 i have had nothing but continuous problems with it. 1.2016 tahoe w/ 96,000 miles began riding extremely rough any speed.

Cost to repair over $3,000 for 4 shocks/struts. 2. My fuel injection is horrible…

    While driving in the summer, my wife informed me that the vehicle had stalled and almost died--shortly after, the ac was not working. I left work and came to her--found that the compressor belt had shredded off. Took the vehicle to dealer and they replaced compressor. A month later, my wife was driving home on the interstate and the vehicle started stalling and jerking. The check engine light started blinking and…

    My brand new 2016 chevy tahoe shakes while at idle in "drive". This issue has been taken up with the dealership who acknowledges the rough idle but says "it's within acceptable limits". It is not acceptable to feel like you have gerbals running under your seat while stopped at a red light. It is constant and extremely annoying. If they are going to make a car that shakes, not tell the customer about the problem and…
