While driving multiple times the vehicle has completely lost power or almost died in the middle of the roadway. It has been taken to the dealership multiple times and they are reporting transmission and catalytic converter issues, however these issues were present at 20,000 miles and taken back to the dealership to be fixed. This is now a reoccurrence of issue and the dealership refused to warranty or fix the reoccurring issue. Loss of power while driving and random acceleration have occurred and almost caused accidents on multiple occasions

I was constantly smelling a strong odor of gas coming from the inside/outside of my 2015 Chevy Tahoe. When I purchased the vehicle in 10/23 everything appeared fine. I researched the internet to determine what the problem could be & found dozens of similar situations. People saying the fuel line rubs the undercarriage of the vehicle causing a pin hole size in the fuel line causing it to leak gas. Currently my vehicle is in the shop and the problem is TBD.

In approximately December of 2015, we purchased a 2015 Chevy Tahoe LT from CARR Chevrolet. We chose GM for the reputation, under the belief if we took care of our vehicle and had it maintained by the dealer, it would last 12-15 years. This was NOT our experience.Three years after we purchased the vehicle, the engine died. We were assured this was an anomaly and GM replaced at "no cost", as it was a "manufacturing error". CARR service convinced me it was “great”, as now my vehicle would last even longer. I did not question and blindly trusted those I viewed as trained, skilled professionals. Fast forward to present time, my vehicle is 7 years old (90,000 mi) and never missed a single service. Out of the blue, the transmission dies. I was initially told this is “normal" and “happens” to a tune of $8400 plus maintenance and other wear...

I own this 2015 Tahoe, it has 80,000 miles on it. While I was driving to work, the vehicle lost power as I was in the middle of major intersection. I was almost rear ended by another car. A few seconds later the car began going again. I had no service lights, no warning lights and no check engine light come on. It was running rough, lacking acceleration. I immediately brought it to my mechanic. They did they're testing and found Cylinder# 6 has collapsed. I was told that I will need a new engine at costs of over $8000.00. I have always maintained my vehicle and it's had regular oil changes every 4000 miles. In fact I'm still making car payments, and now I have to absorb this major cost of replacing an engine. When I looked on line to find some information of this Lifter problem, I found...

This 2015 Chevy Tahoe stopped without warning or warning failure indicators and continue to stop without warning, while driving on highway. Managed to drive the car slowly home. Following day the engine warning light came on after the fact. Had the car inspected by mechanic who indicated that the transmission/torque converter had failed. This mechanic has reported seeing the same issue with other Chevy Tahoes in same and similar years. Chevy has not addressed the safety hazard this transmission poses to both the driver and drivers behind the vehicle when it abruptly comes to a stop on a busy road. The car was just serviced at dealer in past month without any recommended repairs. The engine warning indicator did not work the entire time the car was whistling, stopping and jerking. Chevy should have issued a recall for this failure.

The truck vibrates violently when truck I accelerate and feel like I'm losing control of the truck. The transmission is said to have issues with the hydraulic system.

My 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe with 90,000 miles needs a new camshaft and all 16 lifters need to be replaced. There was no forewarning about this huge problem. Literally, one day I was out in my car, and the accelerator suddenly stopped working for a while. Then, all of a sudden there was a hard jerk, and it sped up on its own. When I finally found a safe spot to pull over I went to push on the brakes and the entire car just started shaking. My poor children were terrified as this could’ve turned into a terrible accident for me and the other drivers around me. I immediately called my local mechanic and was told to bring it in immediately. On my way there the service indicator lamp came on. Upon inspection by my mechanic I was told I need a whole new engine. I have not had it...

Check engine light came on after vehicle starting losing power in steering column. Speedometer was moving up and down with some other gauges doing the same simultaneously. The vehicle provided warning of stabilitrak after dismissed, it gave another warning stating, “Steering Assist is Reduced Drive with Care.” It became harder to accelerate and very distracting as the stabilitrak error continued to pop up with the speedometer and other gauges, such as RPM, going up and down continuously. These gauges would then stop working altogether then start to work briefly. Then, the gauges would continue to malfunction by going up and down with the stabilitrak error on screen. I got off the interstate and I have having issues with acceleration from first gear. Vehicle was hesitating which was terrifying. It was failing to engage. Transmission fluid rose from 187 to 208 degrees during a brief time period on the screen. Could...

I was driving down the road at 65mph, when My transmission blew. I believe the correct term is that my torque converter went out. I basically came to a dead stop in traffic, endangering my life and my children's. My understanding is that this is a common issue with this type of transmission. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for not recalling this item.

Vehicle has shut down twice while turning. When action happens the stability controls are turned off, parking assistance is turned off. All lights on dash flash. With this vehicle having electronic steering, I have no control of this vehicle when it shuts down while driving. Dealer could not reproduce actions to diagnose, but informed me to return if it was to happen again.

I was driving at 55 mph when the entire car shuddered and very loud babgihg and knocking occurred. Immediately the car slowed way down and lost power. Luckily I was able to sagely move it out of the lane before getting rear ended but that was only because I was in the right lane. The check engine light came on and started blinking and the traction control failure and safety radar system failure light came on. The vehicle was towed to a Chevy dealer and found out the lifters had failed and these damaged the crankshaft. The truck has 91000 miles. After researching there seems to be a very large problem with these engines failing due to the AFM system that chevy uses

Problem with air Condenser leaking from poorly manufactured part.
#11417477 |
Engine service light came on May 7th during a trip which made the vehicle run sporadically and missing which then caused the traction control light to come on as well. When we took the vehicle to the dealership they said that a lifter had stuck and it had ruined the camshaft. Repairs would be 5800.00. We took the vehicle to another dealership and they gave us a better price and said that two other vehicles were in the shop in front of our vehicle for the same issue and some were newer 2019 or later vehicles and that this was a common problem because of defective parts. They said that the new parts were better and should work without the same problem. We do not have our vehicle back yet, I expect it back in a couple days because they had to order the parts. If this is a common...

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH ABOUT 140000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MONTH I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO. IT HAD AN ISSUE PLAYING CLEARLY. THEN THE DISPLAY SCREEN STARTED JUMPING AND MOVING THROUGH DIFFERENT COMMANDS ON ITS OWN. JUST RECENTLY, TWO MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED IS WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THIS TIME IT CUT OFF COMPLETELY THREE TIMES IN A ROW. I THINK I PURCHASED A BAD CAR AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH IT UNTIL I CAN GET ENOUGH MONEY TO SELL IT OR TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE.

DURING A LOW SPEED LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC, MY 2015 TAHOE HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER AND STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS AT A DISTANCE THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO NOTICE MY TAHOE HAD DIED BLOCKING THEIR LANES, AND THEY CORRECTED THEIR PATH TO GO AROUND. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AT THE LEAST IF ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD NOT NOTICED THAT OUR VEHICLE DIED. I PURCHASED THIS TAHOE USED 3 WEEKS AGO AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE. AFTER INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET I LOCATED POST SAYING THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED OVER 1 MILLION OTHER 2015 TAHOES.
