Recently I've noticed that when I try to accelerate or take off from stop it does not pick up speed as use to. My engine rpms rise but speed is getting less and less. I've also noticed my transmission temperature is staying between 190-200 degrees which gm has already had recalls over pertaining to this style transmission having issues due to high heat. Vehicle has always had maintenance kept up with and never abused. Have taken to local shop since warranty ran out several times for inspection of transmission well my complaints in regards and have fluid done. Recently I've noticed fluid is needing to be replaced more frequently due to losing viscosity from overheating and being burnt, has the familiar and similar smell of toast being burnt. This is a 2016 Tahoe ltz w just over 200k, yes in some ways a lot but considering the cost of vehicle new/age/synthetic fluids and everything it seems to me the transmission should last longer especially considering it's been maintained. These new vehicles are outrageous and the transmissions are very expensive as well, considering these same transmissions have had recalls from GM I'm a little aggravated and frustrated on how some can and can't. I'm familiar and aware they say it's per manufacturing plant and particular models but confused as to how if the transmission that has had recalls for overheating doesn't comply to all the transmissions that are same type, I think it's bogus n a way not to be responsible for accepting failures n having to replace all parts so gm says it only happened here n with these parts. I guarantee you if someone would take a look at gm shipping and papers they would see it. If a 2016 4l60e had problems it's more than likely all of them in that year had all same parts so therefore all acceptable to failure, its not like transmission maker chose different parts to send to different plants or this get that no thats just b.s. so there not responsible for all of them so they pick plant with most failures

My 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe with 90,000 miles needs a new camshaft and all 16 lifters need to be replaced. There was no forewarning about this huge problem. Literally, one day I was out in my car, and the accelerator suddenly stopped working for a while. Then, all of a sudden there was a hard jerk, and it sped up on its own. When I finally found a safe spot to pull over I went to push on the brakes and the entire car just started shaking. My poor children were terrified as this could’ve turned into a terrible accident for me and the other drivers around me. I immediately called my local mechanic and was told to bring it in immediately. On my way there the service indicator lamp came on. Upon inspection by my mechanic I was told I need a whole new engine. I have not had it repaired because I cannot afford to do so. I would be more than happy to allow someone to come and inspect it upon request. Apparently this is a huge problem with GM vehicles that GM is completely choosing to ignore.

Check engine light came on after vehicle starting losing power in steering column. Speedometer was moving up and down with some other gauges doing the same simultaneously. The vehicle provided warning of stabilitrak after dismissed, it gave another warning stating, “Steering Assist is Reduced Drive with Care.” It became harder to accelerate and very distracting as the stabilitrak error continued to pop up with the speedometer and other gauges, such as RPM, going up and down continuously. These gauges would then stop working altogether then start to work briefly. Then, the gauges would continue to malfunction by going up and down with the stabilitrak error on screen. I got off the interstate and I have having issues with acceleration from first gear. Vehicle was hesitating which was terrifying. It was failing to engage. Transmission fluid rose from 187 to 208 degrees during a brief time period on the screen. Could not use the M gear at all.

1.) The wire harness between the body control modules are failing. 2.) When I tow my boat I could loose braking at any time. Display of " service trailer brake system" overrides all other displays on console. Repetitive chiming noise is very distracting and irritating. 3.) Yes, I took it back in soon after i purchased it (a lot of money) and the Chevy rep said it probably was something to do with loose wires concerning the towing. I showed them a picture of the the warning display that I took immediately. They supposedly plugged in a diagnostic reader and said that since the code was no longer showing that they were unable to determine what precisely the issue was, but it was safe to drive. 4.) Component was not inspected by anyone. I was told that if it came on and I was in the area; to bring it in so that they can see the display. 5.) Yes there was a warning message that showed up multiple times. 1 or 2 weeks after being purchased on 3/11/22. I feel that the Chevy reps know of the issue ( bad wiring harness between 2 of the body control modules) and acted as if the had no clue of the picture of the warning display that I showed them and they were able to tell me it was safe to drive even though they said they didn't know what the issue was. ???? I like Chevy vehicles; it would be nice to see Chevy stand behind their product. This is the 2nd Tahoe that I've owned, standing behind your work keeps and promotes customers.

Brake Petal is hard and you have to punch very hard to stop at slow speed as in a parking lot or traffic. It will scare you because the vehicle doesn’t want to stop when moving at slow speed. Unsure if it does it in reverse or not.

I purchased this vehicle a few weeks ago. I was told by the Salesman that everything worked in the car. I test drove it and the lane departure warning was working so I assumed the forward collision would be working. In real life driving, I have nearly run in to numerous cars as the forward collision does not work. In one instance, someone slammed on their breaks, my collision didn't alert me, thankfully I saw it, but I had to swerve off the road to keep from hitting them. In addition, the cooling seats work, but the heated seats do not work on either side of the front seats. Lastly, I have discovered that my Navigation system does not work. I can't get it to change to my current location and the GPS is X'd out. This is what I have so far, but sadly, I feel more things are going to happen with this vehicle. I am working with the dealership on the forward collision and heated seats, but don't know if I will get anywhere with them. They have said they will not fix the Navigation system, which is affected by the CAL (calibration) error message on my screen.

On several occasions the following warnings will pop up. Service Stabilitrack, Tighen Gas cap, Service trailer brake system, Automatic collision prep unvailable, and the check engine light will come on. Then the dashboard lights will flicker on/off, the montior will turn black, the doors will unlock and lock. It has happened when I am going 70 MPH down the freeway. And on several occassions the car engine will turn off/stall as i am either pulling into an intersection, parking spot or coming to a stop. I will take it to the shop and have the check engine code scanned/turned off and it will be fine for a week and then start again

AT SLOW RATE OF SPEED, PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT OR IN DRIVE-THRU LINES, THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKES EFFORT TO PUSH, TICKING, CLICKING AND GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGINS TO VIBRATE AND VERY HARD TO PUSH DOWN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR TAHOE LTZ VIN# THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2019 AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (RESTAURANT DRIVE-THRU, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) I OFTEN FIND MYSELF HAVING DIFFICULTY PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AS IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN THE PEDAL AND THE CAR WILL NOT COME TO A STOP FOR 2-3 FEET. I FEEL A STRONG VIBRATION DURING THIS AND A LOW PITCHED CRUNCHING SOUND, AND CANNOT PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE A COLLISION. I DID THE 2019 RECALL IN WHICH THE DEALER RECALIBRATED SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKES. BUT IT I CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TEST THE VACUUM PUMP, BUT THEY SAID THE "TESTING WAS NORMAL" AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, SAYING THAT IT WAS WORN ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS THAT WERE CAUSING THE ISSUE. I KNOW WHAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE WHEN THE ROTORS/PADS NEED CHANGING, AND I DO HAVE SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT NEVER WHERE I HAVE INCREASED BRAKE EFFORT. ONLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IF I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY TAHOE SHOWED STABILITRAK ISSUES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT A YEAR AGO. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK IT INTO THE NEAREST DEALER. IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN A MONTH AGO. THE TRUCK TURNS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND AS I'M PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, NOW I'VE HAD ISSUES WHEN I TRY TO LOCK IT WITH THE FOB; IT DOES NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT A BUSINESS BECAUSE IT WON'T TURN BACK ON AND I HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE AND TRY TO CRANK IT. IT COMES BACK ON BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN 3 TIMES. NOW, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS I PULLED INTO MY WORK GARAGE, EVERYTHING TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND THIS TIME NOTHING CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THANKFULLY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND THIS IS A VERY BUSY CITY STREET IN THE MORNING HOURS. I WAS LUCKY IT TURNED BACK ON AT ALL. ANOTHER TIME, I COULD NOT START MY TRUCK WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK AND I WAS STUCK ON THE 3RD FLOOR OF MY PARKING GARAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I'LL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS TAHOE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO TRAVEL 3 FREEWAYS TO GET TO WORK AND BACK HOME DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS WELL BECAUSE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL ON GETTING HIT OR HITTING SOMEONE ELSE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH)

I 2019 AROUND MARCH TO MAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET PLACE IN CLAXTON, GA DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SHOWING "BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE. THEY HAD MY CAR IN THEIR SHOP FIVE TIMES FOR THIS MATTER. FIRST THREE TIMES THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, FOURTH TIME THEY REPLACED THE WRONG PART AND COST ME ALMOST $500. FIFTH TIME THEY REPLACED IN UNDER THE RECALL THAT WAS OUT THEN. NOW, FEB 2020 MY CAR HAS BRAKE ISSUES AGAIN. THIS TIME MY CAR IS SHOWING "STABILITRAK" AND "BRAKE ASSIST". THEY ARE WANTING TO REPAIR A HUB, A MODULE AND STRUTS AND SAYING THAT THIS IS ALSO DUE TO A "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM". MY STRUTS WERE RELATED LAST YEAR BEFORE THE PREVIOUS BRAKE REPAIR. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THAT MANY VEHICLES FROM MANY YEAR MAKES HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE AND GM IS AVOIDING THE ISSUE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR AND ONE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN MY BRAKES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY THIS PAST ISSUE. MY CAR WAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR BRAKE ISSUES 6 TIMES AND THIS SIDE DETECTION ISSUE I THINK NEEDS TONE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEING SO MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE'2015 CHEVY TAHOE LT ON JULY 1, 2019 I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT GLITCHES IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, AND MYLINK TOUCHSCREEN WILL COMPLETELY BLACK OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR A SPLIT SECOND. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH, DURING THE NIGHT AND DAY. IT WAS SUSPECTED TO BE THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY, AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE BEHAVIOR. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK WARNING WILL ALSO POP UP AFTER THE POWER IS RESTORED. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AFTER READING DOZENS OF FORUMS IT'S CLEAR THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AT LEAST 20 TIMES SINCE JULY 2019, RANDOMLY AND COMPLETELY UNEXPECTEDLY.

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 AWARE OF. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT IS IN MY GARAGE. IT'S A HARDSHIP TO PAY TO RENT A WORKING, SAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ONE I PAY $615 MONTHLY FOR IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND A LIABILITY. IN CONCLUSION, ARE THERE STEPS AN INDIVIDUAL IS ABLE TO TAKE TO RESOLVE SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO SEEK ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL AIDE TO GET THE BALL ROLLING?
