When traveling above 30 mph then decelerating, once the car gets to around 15-20 mph it jumps forward. It's similar to when you drive a stickshift and take your foot off the clutch and the car jumps forward as if it might stall. It doesn't happen regularly. If i decelerate very quickly, then it does not do it. If i decelerate slowly then it does not do it. It has to be somewhere in between and the car is confused…

Fuel/Propulsion System
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.

Fuel/Propulsion System
The tahoe used as our volunteer fire department medical truck was spewing fuel from above the gas tank. We dropped the tank and found the lines on the top of the fuel tank rusted severely to the point of failure. It was first noticed on a medical run with the engine idling.

I had a system failure light that came on my 2015 tahoe. When i brought it to voss chevrolet dealership in centerville ohio, they told me that my high pressure fuel pump was failing and that i would need to replace it along with the fuel lines. Upon further research i learned that gm had issued a recall bulletin (tsb 14858) in 2015 for select 2015 tahoes. The tahoe's affected included vehicles with an 8 cylinder…

Vehicle did not want to start when cold. Would take 2-3 times to get engine to turn over. After driving, the smell of gasoline was undeniable. Brought vehicle in to local mechanic and he discovered the fuel hose had chaffed and fuel was spraying out and puddling on top of fuel tank. He dropped fuel tank and replaced fuel line. Fuel line that was removed had no protection on it. Replacement part had a corrugated loom…

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…
