This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Gps antenna leaked while parked in rain. Saturated head liner, steering wheel, and driver seat. Water puddled in driver floor mat. Gps signal lost until things dried out. Also has impacted collision avoidance system. Has happened several times in last 2 months. Problem is intermittent because vehicle is garaged most times. Doesn't occur while driving during rain, only when vehicle is parked and water can stream in through gap on backside of antenna and enter the defective inner seal. I have seen many accounts of this on forums. GM needs to conduct a recall on this problem.
Transmission seems to be slipping while in drive. Revs high but doesn't shift into gear nearly leaving me strained at an intersection after traffic light changed. Would struggle to get up to speed while shifting through the gears. I bought vehicle used with approximately 85K miles in April 2019 and previous owner had all the maintenance completed as required. The vehicle has roughly 90K miles on now. Vehicle has been sitting at Chevy dealer in imlay city, Michigan almost two weeks and they have yet to repair the vehicle. I've used this vehicle to tow my boat. When in reverse and backing boat into water at boat ramp I've applied the brakes and it seems to take a second or two for the brakes to react making it feel like the vehicle is still moving in reverse. Not sure if this an issue with the recent brake recall Sept 2019 or transmission issues.
The car was parked. We got in & shut the doors. When I tried to start the car, the doors locked automatically. I could not open the doors or roll down the windows. It was well over 100 degrees in the car. We were trapped in the car. While on the phone with 911, I was able to get the car to release the door locks and we escaped. The doors automatically locked and could not be opened. Evidently the battery was dead and the system shut down. There was no indication the battery was low. Having doors automatically lock and be disabled due to a battery is a huge safety hazard.
The vehicle has been through the shop for repair to vibrations at speeds above 70+ mph. They have not been able to fix the problem. It seems to be a similar problem other owners experience too.
The air conditioner has stopped working, the condenser has blown and is being repaired. GM has an extended warranty, up to 60,000 miles.. mine has approximately 69,000 miles, so it's not covered under this. This is a known problem and GM should be required to pay for this, as they are aware that this is an issue with several models.
My sunroof is leaking by the driver side visor and above the driver side window when it rains and the sunroof makes a loud whistling noise when I go over 60 mph.
There is water intrusion at he drivers side sun visor going down the pillar. A call to the dealer and its a known issue with the shark antenna leaking on the roof. It happened only in heavy rain when braking.
I purchased a brand new 2016 Chevy Tahoe last year. It has approx 47,000 miles on it this far. The air conditioner began blowing hot air. I have place two cans of refrigerate in the system in less than one week. I can not identify any leaks. I spoke with the dealership and they have voiced I would have to pay for diagnostic procedures and repair. I believe that is unfair considering I have not damaged the vehicle. The vehicle is only one year old and is having A/C problems. I have kids and live in a southern state that has 100 degree weather in the summer months. I believe I deserve answer at least!!!!!!
No option to disable (only) the hands free lift gate feature. An open lift gate can be triggered by children helping load/unload the rear of the Tahoe causing the heavy liftgate to begin to close (or open). All power features of the lift gate may be turned off, but not just the hand-free feature (kicking foot under bumper). Gate has closed 3 times on my wife/children loading/unloading groceries. Vehicle parked, off and key fob in pocket of wife (near the rear of the vehicle). This is dangerous for children especially.
Vehicle parked in lot on 8-18-16. When we came out of store, the Tahoe had rolled into another spot. Two cars were damaged. Incident on tape at the walmart store. Police report was filed. Tahoe was in drive. Two of us had exited the vehicle and collected several shopping carts, so people would not damage their vehicles. Third person exited the vehicle. If left in drive, (electric start) no bells or alarms went off. Doors weren't locked as person in back seat was able to exit. We were in the store for about 15 minutes. On video, the Tahoe was in its spot for quite a while before rolling back. My wife had the vehicle at the time of the incident. There were several witnesses.
When driving, driver and passengers get severe headaches, dizziness, and disorientation. The car also vibrates quite a bit. The pressure inside the cabin can be felt upon turning on the vehicle, and opening the windows does not help. The sensation almost feels magnetic. The original tires failed a road balance test and were replaced. This did not help the issue.
Tahoe has a vibration when it shifts into V4 continues from 40mph through 55 or when you push on the accelerator. Have had it in shop they resealed the bows in the roof, rotated tires, checked the exhaust nothing has fixed. I think the problem is in the motor with unburned gases when it shifts into V4.
When driving my new 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, I am experiencing a booming noise over bumps in the road and experiencing severe pressure and pain in my ears from some sort of pressure created in the vehicles cabin. The pain is unbearable, I cant drive more than 10 minutes due to the pain in my ears while driving.
