At low speeds my brake pedal would get extremely hard to push down causing the car to be difficult to stop. After turning off the vehicle and turning it back on it seemed fine. A few weeks went by with no issues and then it returned when backing out of my driveway. Turned the vehicle off and on and it seemed to be working fine. Another 3 days passes and then brake pedal gets hard and can barely stop the car causing a close collision. The service brake assist light comes on and the brakes are extremely difficult to push to make the car stop. Drove the vehicle home carefully due to needing to step on the brakes extremely hard. Replaced the brake booster and still not working. Replaced the vacuum pump and line to fix the issue. This caused many close calls as the first time I was backing into a parking spot and almost hit the wall. The other times I was driving through a drive through almost hit the car in front of me and driving through a neighborhood towing and almost hit the car in front of me at the stop sign.
My 4 wheel drive transfer case makes a high pitched noise when it is in 4auto and 4 high. GM told me this is a characteristic of the tranfer case thats installed in my SUV. Not all transference make this noise, the Tahoe loaner car does not make this noise. My bothers 2015 Silverado made the same noise in 4 auto and high
2015 Chevrolet Tahoe was parked on moderately sloped driveway. Engine was not running. Vehicle transmission shifter was in "park" position. Vehicle spontaneously rolled back several feet, and crashed into another parked vehicle. Other vehicle also owned by me. Substantial damage to both vehicles. Not influenced by driver. After some research it is my belief the apparent problem with the transmission/software. I did find where there was a recall #14192 for this issue.
While driving on the interstate, the air conditioner stopped cooling and started blowing hot air. The interior lights started flashing like a strobe light. I have scheduled an appointment with the service department where the vehicle was purchased. The current mileage is 44,790
The air conditioning condenser needs replaced on a 3 year old vehicle. It will cost me $1,000 and this is a known GM problem. I just had to replace the struts on it and that was over $1,300.

I have a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, I took to the dealership for a recall, ask if there was anymore, I was told no! now my A/C is blowing hot air. I went to dealership to get freon, I was then told my A/C condenser was cracked. When I ask about recall I was told "no it is a special coverage that you have to ask for"? now my Tahoe has 60,195 and I was informed it was to late to get help with.. how does that work, I have not been notified my Tahoe has anything wrong with it but I have to bring it to your attention first?? please help me understand this. I spent 52 thousand dollars on this vehicle and I have to tell you what is wrong you can't tell me?" I live in Mississippi where it is very hot and humid and this Tahoe is unsafe to drive in these conditions. I will never purchase another one and I have purchased 5 prior to now. Please explain this to
Suspension seized (became violently unstable when going over the slightest of bumps) first year, took car back to dealer three times until finally diagnosed and fixed, power lock on rear driver side door does not lock/unlock every time since first year purchased and at 40,000 ac stopped cooling. This vehicle has been trouble from the beginning!
Air conditioner stopped working at 45,000 miles on 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The dealership recharged the A/C unit and refilled the freon. I paid $200 and after 3 days the air conditioner stopped working again. I have to take it back for a second repair. This should be a recall the HVAC should not stop working after 45,000 miles
I have purchased this car with certified warranty. While driving the vehicle, the rudder became rigid; the crane took him to the dealer, there they changed a computer, that was March 20. Then March 27 return with air conditioning problems, today he continues in the workshop.
Took my vehicle to the dealership because the onstar light would switch between green and red, and my compass no longer works. Was told at the dealership that my high-frequency antenna was out due to outside water intrusion (ex. Rain, snow, carwashes...) when you go online there are pages and pages of people with the same problem. With this problem your onstar, navigation, compass, and xm radio may have problems. My safety concern with this is the fact that people pay for onstar services and with the GM defect which was acknowledged with certain VIN numbers but not all having the same issue is that if I am in an accident or an area where cell service is not available I will not be able to receive the help I need for services I am paying for due to an issue in manufacturing. GM issued a customer satisfaction program where they fixed this issues in vins they found to be affected; I believe they should be repairing all vehicles that are having the same exact issue. As of now, onstar cannot locate my vehicle and if I were in danger they would not able to respond to me nor my family.
I been having my truck for 2 years and brakes keep going out and the air condition keeps going out. I have two friends the same vehicle with the same problems. This is ridiculous I see no recalls on that. And I've seen on the reviews of this vehicle and its not just me there's people out there with the same problem that I am having. This could cause a really bad accident the brakes keep going out I am not the only one with this problem. Please take in consideration that everyone has families. And accidents could cause us to lose our family just for a simple brakes that have not been recalled. And also, we just cannot keep affording to fix the air conditioning this truck is not even old enough to be giving us these problem. Thank you
I own a 2015 Chevy Tahoe lt 2wd. I noticed the ac was not blowing as cool as it normally does, then I started to notice a loud hissing noise in the cabin whenever the ac was turned on. Took the SUV to the dealership and was told the condenser had a pin hole leak and it couldn't be repaired, the whole condenser had to be replaced. I was quoted over 1K for the repair because of the difficulty in accessing the part in the engine bay. I was told the whole front bumper and the front side body panel had to be removed in order to replace the condenser. I looked the oem part up online and it had a price of $140-$210. The SUV just passed 50,000 miles, no accidents or other previous issues.
Wind buffering inside cabin at speeds between 30-45mph. This is accruing with all 4 windows up. Feels like a booming sensation this is causing major health issues, ear pressure, dizziness, nasusa.
A/C condensor: Crack in condenser that caused refrigerant to leak out. A/C stopped cooling and was making a hissing sound when on. Had to have entire condenser replaced because leak was in a location that could not be repaired. I know this is a common problem and has been recalled on some VIN's for the very same make, model, etc., but my particular VIN has not received the recall notice.
I have had this vehicle since June 2015 and had the Tahoe with autonation Chevy on several occassions. At one point it was there for almost 3 months. The front of the vehicle shakes at 77 mph on the highway. The entire front end shakes. They have changed the motor mounts, rear tires and they have aligned vehicle. They have found nothing. They offered to do a buy back but of course with a loss to me and I feel this is not my problem. I did not build the vehicle. Now after to speaking to the new service manager at my dealership they say there is an engineering defect. Please fix it is all I ask of Chevy. Can you please help"?"
My wife's 2015 Tahoe hydroplaned slid backwards into the median, hit a guard rail and rolled 3 times. All side curtain airbags deployed but not the front airbags. This was on 8/4/2017. Then 2 weeks later we received a recall letter for the SDM software which controls the frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.
My A/C condenser went out on July 21, 2017 while I was driving it. My 2015 Tahoe ltz only has 21,000 miles on it. It's covered under warranty, but I've been given no estimate on the part delivery. Driving a courtesy vehicle, Chevy Malibu, for the foreseeable future. This should be a recall. I was told by GM that this is not a widespread issue. I've read otherwise.
A/C rear went out. $1100 to replace. Decided to disconnect rear A/C (cost $498) until a recall could be established and attend to common problem with 2015-2016 Tahoe. Chicago (nbc channel 5) news ran an investigatory news story on a nation-wide problem with A/C on GM 2015-2016 Tahoe. GM was contacted and agreed to look into "complaint" no recall yet....?!
