VEHICLE BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND THE AC COMPRESSOR IS BROKEN. BLOWING HOT AIR. CONTACTED GM AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE AC SYSTEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE AND DISCOVERING THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND THE ASTONISHING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR 2015-2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S, WE CALLED BACK AND WERE TOLD OUR VIN WAS NOT COVERED. I FIND IT VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS OUR VEHICLE AND SAME YEAR HAVE A DEFECTIVE AC SYSTEM WITH THE SAME DEFECT AS OURS, BUT OURS JUST HAPPENS TO BE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS MY 3RD AND LAST CHEVROLET TAHOE. *JS

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 ON OUR WAY HOME FROM NC. WE HAD JUST OPENED THE SUN ROOF IN TILT MODE AND A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT LIKE NOISE. WE REALIZED THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. GLASS FELL ALL IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE CARS TRAVELING ALL AROUND US, BUT WE NEVER SAW ANY DEBRI FLYING OUR WAY SO IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THIS HAPPENED.

GM CONDENSER ISSUE. GM HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014-2016 MODELS USING A DEFECTIVE CONDENSER. THEY HAVE A NEW PART # THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR THE PART. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, KIDS IN TOW, ON A RAINY MUGGY DAY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LAST WEEK. MY WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO FOG AND WITH NO CONDENSER TO RUN THE AC I WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS. UNABLE TO SEE A THING I HAD TO PULL OVER, ON THE FREEWAY, CAREFULLY, AND FIND A CHILD'S COAT IN THE VERY BACK TO WIPE DOWN THE WINDOWS TO CREST VISIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CLEARLY NEGLIGENCE ON GM'S PART AND THEY WOULD BE HELD LIABLE IF/WHEN THIS CREATES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
