2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Other / unspecified Problems

I purchased this car previously owned. As I’ve had to drive it everyday. I notice the tires/wheels when turning left or right, when parking …the wheels tend to lock then I must put in muscle to turn and return to a straight position. This has gotten worse to the point I almost ended up on a curb last week. Someone needs to check this vehicle because something is wrong. I keep impuestos with the maintenance but this locking of tires/wheels and then the constant shudder afterwards is dangerous. I’m appalled there is no recall or at the very least a free diagnostic or inspection at a dealer. I already told my family to sue if I die or get hurt in this Tahoe. Totally unacceptable

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the #7 valve lifter had collapsed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle would shake violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the front-end alignment was performed however, the failure recurred. The dealer was made aware of the recurring failure and informed the contact to replace the tires. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where the tires were replaced however, the failure persisted. The contact then contacted the first dealer and was informed by the dealer that the failure may be due to the front passenger's side bent rim and needed to take it to a rim specialist to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVY TAHOE AND USE IT HERE AND THERE. AS OF NOW I ONLY HAVE 10,000 MILES ON IT HOWEVER THE TIRES WERE BALDING AROUND 6,000 MILES AND EVEN MAYBE BEFORE THEN BUT I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. NOW IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I'M A GENTLE DRIVER AND KEEP IT ON SMOOTH ROADS. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM AFRAID THE SIDE WALLS WILL BLOW OUT ON ME OR SOMETHING EVEN WORSE MAY HAPPEN. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHAKES AND PULLS AS IT FEELS THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF DUE TO POOR TIRES. I AM NOT SURE IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THEM OR GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX (MY BRAND OF TIRES). I AM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL THIS FAR AS THE ISSUES ARE VERY APPARENT AND QUITE DANGEROUS. IF THERE IS INFO ON WHAT AN OWNER NEEDS TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THE DEFECTIVE TIRES REPLACED WHERE WOULD ONE FIND THAT LISTED OR WHO DO THEY CONTACT AND/OR WILL THEY BE CONTACTED AFTER WRITING A COMPLAINT? NOT ONLY DOES THE CAR PULL EXCESSIVELY BUT IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DIRECTLY FROM THE WHEELS/TIRES, IT DOESN'T HOLD UP WELL IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO LACK OF TIRE TREAD AND THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CONSTANTLY DECREASING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PUT AIR IN SO IT'S AT THE CORRECT PSI AND EVERY MONTH, MINUS THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS I HAD THE CAR, THE ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW ALWAYS SHOWS THE PSI AS BEING SIGNIFICANTLY LOW. I JUST DON'T WANT TO FIND MYSELF IN A BAD SITUATION LIKE SOMETHING A LOT WORSE THAN HAVING MY CAR JUST PULL ME INTO THE OTHER LANE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AKA HAVE THE SIDEWILLS COMPLETELY BLOW OUT WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVING ONLY 10K MILES ON IT THIS SHOULDN'T BE A CONCERN. A QUALITY TIRE SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES BEFORE THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN.

UPON PURCHASE OF A NEW 2015 TAHOE I OBSERVED THE POSSIBILITY OF A PROBLEM WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM (FCA). I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHEVROLET. ON 9 APRIL 2015 THE SERVICE MANAGER, ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER, MASTER TECHNICIAN, AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT MODERATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS I DEMONSTRATED THE VARIOUS PHASES AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE DETECTION. THE FCA HAS PLENTY OF SENSITIVITY AND DETECTS VEHICLES IN EXCESS OF THE SPECIFIED DISTANCE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH IS NOT AN ISSUE. AT A MODERATE CLOSING RATE BETWEEN VEHICLES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ICON CHANGES FROM GREEN TO AMBER-ORANGE WHICH APPEARS NOMINAL. HOWEVER, THE RED ALARM HEADS-UP WINDSHIELD DISPLAY, RAPID HIGH-PITCHED BEEPS AND RED ICON ARE NEVER ACTIVATED UNTIL A CLOSING DISTANCE ABOUT ~3 FEET BEFORE A COLLISION. THERE IS VIRTUALLY ZERO REACTION TIME FOR A DRIVER TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AT LESS THAN ONE CAR LENGTH BEFORE GOING TO RED. IN ADDITION, THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO DISENGAGE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC). CONSIDERING TIME, RATE, AND DISTANCE THIS IS INEFFECTIVE AS THE MASS AND KINETIC ENERGY ALSO NEEDS TO FULLY DISENGAGE BEFORE A POTENTIAL COLLISION. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF CREATING A TRAFFIC INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TESTED TO THE LEVEL OF A FULL COLLISION. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR SOFTWARE PATCHES THAT MAY CORRECT THIS DEFICIENCY BY THE DEALER. GM STATED THAT THE SYSTEM WORKS AS DESIGNED AND DELIVERED. THE GM FORWARD COLLISION ALARM (FCA) DELIVERED PRODUCT APPEARS TO HAVE A DESIGN DEFICIENCY AND IS AN OPERATIONAL SAFETY HAZARD WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF THE FCA DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY THEN WHY INTRODUCE IT TO A CONSUMER REGARDLESS OF GM OWNER MANUAL WARNINGS ABOUT TRUSTING ALERT SYSTEMS. *TR
