I tried to get the fan recall done. I went to Countryside Chevrolet I'm Franklin NC. They refused to do the recall. I just moved out of my house and have no address. I'm here, in Franklin NC. Trying to get the recall completed, and I need to drive to Wyoming, and I do not feel safe doing so until recall is complete. My life is in danger with the possibility of fire. And I am stuck in Franklin NC until it is completed.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD, PREPARING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY, THE DOOR-LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN REPEATEDLY, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. THEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHICH MADE IT COME TO A SUDDEN HARD STOP. THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. THANKFULLY, MY DEALERSHIP WAS AT THE NEAREST INTERSECTION, SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2014 TAHOE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LOCKS CONTINUED TO GO UP AND DOWN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF AS I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GO INSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THE MANAGER KNOW WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE MANAGER TOLD US TO PULL THE CAR AROUND TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I DID A SEARCH AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2014 CHEVROLET TAHOES FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO STALL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD TO CLOSE FOR A WHILE BECAUSE OF COVID-19, BUT WHEN THEY REOPENED THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; THEREFORE, GM WILL NOT PAY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT IN THAT CONDITION SO I'VE TRADED IT IN FOR A NEW, NON-CHEVROLET/GM VEHICLE. I AM REPORTING THIS TO PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM PURCHASING AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT'S DANGEROUS! *TR

SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. WHEN RUNNING THE DOOR LOCKS OPEN AND CLOSE RAPIDLY, THE SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE WARNING COMES ON, THE LOW BATTERY WARNING COMES ON THEN GOES OFF, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SERGES, AND STALLS COMPLETELY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. THE BATTERY IS NEW, AND THE DEALER SAYS THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT OK. THE LAST OIL CHANGE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING, HIGHWAY AND SUBDIVISION STREETS, THE VEHICLES TRAILER BRAKE WOULD ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD BECOME UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE'S RADIO WOULD ALSO RANDOMLY RESTART, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD CYCLE UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY. THE ONLY WANT TO RESET THE VEHICLE WAS TO TURN IT OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAVING VERY SIMILAR ISSUES, ALL WHICH SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE NOT PROPERLY HANDLING THE LOAD AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS, CAUSING THE ENTIRE CAR TO STOP OPERATING. GM SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX, EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT OUT A GM RECALL BULLETIN 14515B. GM SAYS MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED. IT IS A 2014 WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS IN BULLETIN? INTERIOR LIGHTS BLINK, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, THEN ENTIRE VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL. CAR STOPS AND WILL NOT RESTART. FIRST STARTED IN 04/16, EVERY FEW MONTHS, AND MOST RECENTLY 01/04/17 AND AGAIN 01/14/17. *TR
