Loud popping noise from center of steering wheel. Repaired twice already. Problem keeps coming back. Steering is very hard at times. Especially at lower speeds. It feels like a 65 Chevy truck with no power steering. It's scary at times.
The contact called on behalf of her son who was the vehicle owner/driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving at approximately 45-50 mph, the vehicle crashed into a tree. The contact was concerned that the collison may have been related to existing recalls on the vehicle. The driver was fatally injured. The contact was the mother of the driver. The contact stated that while her son was driving between 45-50 mph, he lost control of the vehicle, jumping a curb, and crashed into a tree. During the crash the air bags did deploy but the driver was not wearing a seat belt. The driver was fatally injured during the crash and sustained two broken legs. The contact stated that based on the police and ems reports received, the middle console had been ripped off by the driver during the incident in an attempt to brace himself for the collision. The report also mentioned that no tire skid marks were present at the scene. The vehicle was destroyed and towed from the scene. The contact stated that the event data recorder (edr) was destroyed. As a result, the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The contact discovered that the VIN was later included in nhsta campaign numbers: 18V586000 (steering) and 19V645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 50,000.
When turning on the brights on my 2015 chevytahoe the dash screen will flash on and off, as well as shut off the cruise control when on. In addition, the stabilitrak will flash an error message. In addition to all of this the headlights flash while driving. At night this is very scary and harmful. These electrical issues need to be corrected!
I have a 2015 Chevy Tahoe.it has put my family in harms way a dozen times in the last 3 months.the vehicle shows a "stabilitrak" warning..then the steering wheel locks, the engine and all electrical shuts down, and you loose complete control over the vehicle at highway speeds.it has almost killed us.GM and our local Chevy dealership are doing nothing about it.the Chevy mechanics keep telling us there is nothing wrong with it.we are honeslty afraid the vehicle is going to kill us or someone else.
Total strut failure at 58K miles; making car hard to maneuver. Dealership wants $1900 to fix the mag ride suspension, no powertrain coverage at all for this issue. Also, a bearing in the steering column has failed and there is no warranty coverage from that either.

Power steering went out while driving and GM won't replace under other power steering recalls had to pay 3K to fix, also steering assist out as well and won't fix unless paid for.
When turning the wheels or backing up there is a popping noise that sounds like it is coming from the front left and right wheels and you can hear it and feel it in the steering wheel
While driving on the highway at high speeds, 70-80 mph, steering became extremely difficult for brief periods. Often times it was immediately following actuation of the automatic window switch. It was accompanied with a lot of the loss of electrical power, a flickering control panel, ABS light, stab trak, brake assist, and park assist warnings. A/C would stop, radio would turn off, the dashboard would flicker, then I would have to acknowledge all of the warnings in order to clear the issue. Steering was tough, though controllable, but I question the ability of a less experienced drive to be able to handle the same problem at those speeds. This has happened before at lower speeds, usually while backing up to park. At lower speeds the SUV would cut off completely. At higher speeds, the stall was recoverable, very fortunate in this matter. Unable to get the issue to repeat at the dealership and it is very inconsistent. Usually resets itself once the car is turned off and restarted.

Vehicle randomly loses steering control and flashes warning lights. At times, xm radio will not play. At one time, vehicle shut off and would not resart for approximately 10 seconds. Occasionally, the warning lights flash when making an adjustment like changing to bright lights or activating the turn signal. Left turn signal disengages cruise when activated. GM has updated the software twice due to service over the above complaints. Fixes problem for short amount of time.
On several occasions my care has given me a warning of stability rack issues and it will then just shut down. This has happened in the middle of turning into parking lots as well as backing into parking spots. I then have to roll down and up my driver side and passenger side windows before I can restart my vehicle.
At slow speeds the vehicle has shut off twice now, once in the middle of los angeles traffic almost causing us to wreck! we have taken it in for that and a popping in the stearing wheel and they told us nothing was wrong. It is a major safety hazard and would like to see something done about it!
While driving vehicle at slow speeds around turns we experience a loss os power steering and total vehicle power. This is a current recall which the local dealer is has checked and says there is no problem
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. When the vehicle was started, the steering wheel seized and the power steering "drive with caution" warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to service Chevrolet Cadillac (1212 ambassador caffery pkwy, lafayette, la 70506, (337) 234-9411) and was informed that there was an open recall for the failure, but the VIN was not included.

On May 31, 2018 I purchased a 2015 Chevy Tahoe ltz with 30,000miles that had been traded in at a local Ford dealership. Within days of purchasing it, the car began having issues with a stabilitrak warning followed by other erratic computer warnings. In following weeks the car also began having complete power failure at low speeds while turning and continues to have these problems to date. The engine also began smoking in July, caused, as it turns out, by a jammed belt on the air conditioner compressor. This vehicle has had many power failures in parking lots, on streets, the highway tunnel in boston and most recently on labor day weekend when the car stalled in charlestown, ri while slowing down at an intersection. I had no warning flashers or brake lights and the doors would not open. With the help of the local police dept. Who assisted me until the car restarted, I was able to drive it to a local residence. The Ford dealership sent a flatbed truck to tow it back to the facility where I purchased it. The dealership continues to return the car to me as it doesn't fail when they drive it due to its erratic nature, and service by several GM dealers they have sent it to have not been able to fix the problems either. I am stunned to learn that this vehicle is not on the recent recall list from GM regarding power steering issues at slow speeds. In a phone call to GM customer assistance on 9/21/18 (case number 8-4650063752) the representative confirmed that my vehicle was not on the list. I trust that by reporting these problems to you GM will be able to resolve this issue and insure my safety and those around me while driving. I appreciate your assistance and would be happy to provide any documentation I have available if requested. Attached are pictures of the vehicle and the id plate from the side of the car.
I am writing to notify you of the problem I am experiencing with my 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe (VIN [xxx]). the problem is that the power tilt and telescoping steering column pops and clicks at low speeds when turning. General Motors and Chevrolet are aware of this defect. 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe VIN [xxx] NHTSA id number: 10114895 GM service bulletin numbers: Pit5312 and pit5452 information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Multiple issues effecting this vehicle, and the issues occur when stabilitrac issue and ABS issue pops up on screen. A/C also stops blowing cold air, and speedometer reads zero while moving. The stabilitrac and ABS issues first occurred multiple times starting in the early warranty period.the main concern is the power assist malfunctioning causing total loss of steering control. When power assist re-engages, the vehicle will jump in the direction the steering wheel is turned. This is a major safety issue. I repeat that these issues started to occur during the early warranty period in 2015. The dealer could not duplicate the issues. There are multiple posts on line concerning the problems with the 2015 Tahoe, some actually causing accidents.
