2013 Chevrolet Tahoe Driver assistance Problems

One day I was driving normal and my engine light and two other lights came on. It dropped my speed under 30mph and I couldn't pass the gas. It said reduced engine power, service stabilitrak and service traction. I immediately took it to auto zone then placed it in the shop at the dealership. They had my truck for almost 2 months and finally said they fixed it. It ran ok for a month or so. I was so scared to drive because it does it randomly. Boom it happen again now im frustrated because what is the problem. Called shop they said bring it back they will have a new person look at it. They had it for a month again. Paid more money. Then boom a month later the same thing. So at this point im calling no one is answering they ignored me so I called the customer service on the truck to complain. I had to get rentals and everything with the same problem it is over a year later. No answer and nobody called back nothing. I parked my truck for months and yesterday June 24th the lights came on again. I have heard alot of my friends and family say they have a chevy vehicle and they did/do the same thing.

Transmission, vehicle stops functioning without notice on the road while driving acceleration stops. The problem was confirmed to be a transmission failure by chevrolet. The inspection was done by chevrolet to confirm the transmission has failed. The vehicle started to jump when sitting still and the drive train for 2wheel/4whell did stop working it only allowed the vehicle to be moved in 2whell drive. This happened after the vehicle went over 100k miles and when I took it to chevrolet they said nothing was wrong with it, they said "it's an old car". When the car is driven over 35/40mph the vehicle now shakes along with it stopping to function while driving. Even with chevrolet verifying that the transmission is bad(which is the recall on Tahoe models from the same year of production) they refuse to acknowledge it is all models unless it's on a specific list of vin numbers. They refuse to replace the transmission recall at no cost according to the current recall that was done already for this year make and model. I've had all engine tune up maintenance requirements done and have not missed any vehicle scheduled maintenance this vehicle year make and model is on the recall list and I've attached the copy of it to show proof of the record. The record was provided by chevrolet, along with the record of NHTSA recalls to show this is the same year make and model but the vin isn't included, as well as the recalls they listed to show that zero apply to this vehicle when this is clearly the same exact symptoms listed on the recall but this vin isn't listed when it should be if the same exact symptoms are failing on the vehicle with maintenance kept up.

JULY 16TH, 2019 MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF TOTAL LOSS. TRAVEL SPEEDS WERE 30 MPH. IN ATTEMPTS TO STOP DUE TO VEHICLES TRAVELING IN FRONT OF MINE HAD COME TO ABRUPT STOPS MY BRAKES FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING WHILE STRAIGHT LINE STEERING. THUS I WAS FORCED TO STEER LEFT TO AVOID COLLISION. MY BRAKES WERE QUICKLY APPLIED, MODERATE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND WITH MINIMAL BRAKING. THERE WAS COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, CLIPPING THEIR DRIVER SIDE REAR BUMPER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT CORNER FENDER PEALING IT BACK LIKE A CAN OPENER. THIS HAPPENED ON A STATE HWY. THE STABILITRAC INDICATOR AND SERVICE BRAKES HAD APPEARED ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLES DIC INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH. NO CODES PRESENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NEW BRAKES (ROTORS, PADS AND BRAKE FLUID), 43 DAYS PRIOR. IT HAD 138,627 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. 1) WE ARE LUCKY THERE WERE NO INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS ACCIDENT. 2) FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR $61K AND PAID OFF, 6 YEARS LATER LOSSES 2/3 OF ITS PURCHASED VALUE. 3) HAVE NOW HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND BACK TO BEING $20K IN THE HOLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE CURRENT RECALL GM JUST ANNOUNCED THAT COVERS 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND TAHOE MODELS. GM STATES AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE PUMP IN THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKES CAN PUT OUT LESS VACUUM THAN NEEDED, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND RICK OF A CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645

MY 2013 CHEVROLET LTZ TAHOE BEGAN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT WARNINGS THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE OFF AT AROUND 60K MILES. BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE TIT 65K THE FAILURES BECAME REGULAR AND ARE NOW LIT CONSTANTLY. THESE ARE SAFETY FEATURES THAT SAFEGUARD THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS DURING HARD/EMERGENCY BRAKING OR DURING WEATHER WITH SNOW, ICE AND RAIN. THESE KEY SAFETY SYSTEMS NOW ARE NON FUNCTIONING AND THE VEHICLE IS RATHER UNSAFE WITHOUT THEM. THIS IS A $70+ K VEHICLE AND IT HAS KEY SAFETY FEATURES FAILING VERY EARLY INTO ITS LIFE. IT IS UNBELIVABLE THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT HELD TO ACCOUNT BY FEDERAL REGULATORS FOR SUCH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FAILURES. HOW MANY TAHOES ARE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS EACH YEAR DUE TO LOSS OF ABS BRAKING AND TRACTION CONTROL LOSS?

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARDENAS SUPERSTORE IN PHARR, TX. WE'VE BEEN TO THEM 4 TIMES, IN WHICH THEY'VE SENT OUR TAHOE TO THE LOCAL GM/CHEVROLET DEALER IN OUR AREA. GENERALLY, WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM, STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL DISABLE AND WE WILL SEE A SERIES OF WARNING LIGHTS. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF, THE AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE WILL RISE TO A WARM TEMP, THE LOCKS WILL START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING RANDOMLY, HARD TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, AND LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FIRST TIME WE WENT, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WE WENT, THEY CLEAN OUT ALL THE FUEL MODULES, THE THIRD TIME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AND FINALLY, ON THE FOURTH TRY, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO THEY PUT DI-ELECTRIC GREASE ON SOME OF THE WIRING. TWO DAYS LATER IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A REASON THEY MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING ANY ISSUES IS THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS OFF FOR SOME TIME, IT WILL START UP AND RUN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. I'VE MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE LOCAL AUTOZONE WHILE ALL THE PANEL WAS GOING OFF, AND POWER LOSS, AND THEY MENTIONED A FEW POSSIBLE ISSUES. THE VEHICLES VOLTAGE REGULATOR MAY BE BAD, AS WELL AS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE ECM AND MANY SENSORS(FUEL PUMP, TRANSMISSION, ETC...). WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE OR THIS COULD HAVE BECOME VERY COSTLY FOR US. BUT NONE THE LESS, SAFETY IS OF A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING THE TAHOE. ANY GUIDANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
