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.

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.

3/1/2016

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE 3/31/16 APPRX.3:00 PM, I EXPERIENCED TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ONLY AFTER SEEING SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE, WOULD THE HEAVY TRAFFIC ALLOW ME TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT THE TRANS INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE, ALLOWING ME TO MOVE APPX 100 YARDS TO A SAFER PULL OFF. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED CASE # 8-1908837872. NO FURTHER CONTACT BY ME TO GM, OR FROM GM TO ME.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY , WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS VEHICLE USING MEDIUM TO MEDIUM HEAVY ACCELERATION, INSTEAD OF TRANSMISSION KICKING DOWN TO PASSING GEAR, IT HANGS UP INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE REVS UP TO AND PASS REDLINE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR WHEN THE ENGINE WINDS DOWN TO AROUND 3500 REVS IT SEVERELY ENGAGES INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD BANG AND JOLTS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IS GOING IN TO DEALERSHIP IN 4 DAYS. VEHICLE HAS 4473 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE ALSO HAS SEVERAL OTHER SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT AFTER EXHAUSTIVE PROCEDURE TO HAVE GM REPLACE OR BUY BACK VEHICLE THEY HAVE REFUSED. THIS IS MY FOURTH TAHOE AND WILL BE MY LAST. A LOYAL TAHOE OWNER FOR A LONG TIME AND THE NEW ONE IS THE WORSE. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A VEHICLE OF OVER $77,000 AND LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT.

MY 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ DISPLAYED "SERVICE FRONT CAMERA" WHEN I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE BUT DIDN'T EVEN START IT YET. ( SEE PIC) . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME YES ITS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT GM HAS NO REPAIR PROCEDURE YET FOR IT.THE VEHICLE HAS 89 MILES ON IT, HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE WINDSHIELD IS PERFECTLY CLEAN AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS OF THE FRONT CAMERA. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT UNTIL THEY HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FRONT CAMERA RUNS MOST OF THE HIGHLY TOUTED SAFTEY FEATURES SUCH AS THE, FCA FORWARD COLLISION ALERT, LANE DEVIATION ALERT, EBS EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, AND ON AND ON...... SO NOW THE $70K+ VEHICLE THAT WAS HYPED UP TO BE SOOO SAFE FOR MY FAMILY NOW HAS MOST OF THE SAFTEY FEATURES NON -FUNCTIONING AND GM KNEW ABOUT THIS AND STILL CONTINUES TO SELL THE VEHICLE AND WONT REPAIR. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT WILL NOTIFY IN DIFFERENT REPORT. THIS IS TERRIBLE FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS CALIBER. IM A LOYAL AND DEDICATED PAST TAHOE OWNER BUT THIS ONE MAY BE GOING BACK. IM APPALLED THAT GM IS LETTING VEHICLES CONTINUE TO BE SOLD WITH KNOWN SAFTEY ISSUES ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY JUST GOT CAUGHT WITH THE WHOLE IGNITION SWITCH FIASCO.

MY BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY TAHOE SHAKES WHILE AT IDLE IN "DRIVE". THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN TAKEN UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THE ROUGH IDLE BUT SAYS "IT'S WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS". IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE GERBALS RUNNING UNDER YOUR SEAT WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. IT IS CONSTANT AND EXTREMELY ANNOYING. IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A CAR THAT SHAKES, NOT TELL THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEN CHARGE OVER $50,000 FOR THE VEHICLE, SHAME ON THEM. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASE. I WILL ALSO GLADLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN SUV TO PURCHASE A GM VEHICLE.

THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018. HEADING TO WORK ONE MORNING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE GIRL IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BREAKS (WE WERE IN THE FAST LANE), SO I PUT ON MY BREAKS. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THE DRIVER BEHIND ME NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND GOING 50-55 MPH. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO BRACE MYSELF BEFORE HE HIT ME FROM BEHIND WHICH MADE ME HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME (I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES). FORTUNATELY, MY TAHOE HELD UP PRETTY GOOD AND DIDN'T CRUMBLE WITH THE TYPE OF IMPACT IT HAD. MY CONCERN IS MY AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY BUT ACTUALLY DIDN'T. THE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM THE AIRBAGS THROUGH THE DASH AND MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON MY ALERTS ON THE DASH. IF I WOULDN'T HAVE PREPARED AND BRACED MYSELF THEN MY FACE WOULD HAVE GONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I DIDN'T SEE A RECALL BUT IS THERE A REASON THEY DIDN'T COME OUT? ALSO, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SCENE TO TAKE THE TAHOE TO BODY SHOP BUT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED IN IT'S PLACE AND COULD NOT REBUCKLE (I WAS BUCKLED DURING THE CRASH)

I was driving down highway and saw a wall of cars and brake lights in the distance, so naturally my foot tried to push the brakes. The pedal was hard, and I panicked because my tahoe was not stopping at all! I continued to stomp on brake pedal all the way until my car actually hit 3 vehicles and then the guardrail! My brakes did not work , because if they did then I would have easily prevented this accident!!

Hello, I purchased my truck last year in December and I told them the problems I was having with the truck when I got. They act like they fixed it but it’s still doing the same thing. I’ve put struts on it and control arms 3 times and it still is giving me problems. My suspension and driver assist warnings always pop up. When I get up to 85 mph, they truck shakes really bad and the speed won’t go over 85 mph. When I got brakes, the trucks pulls to the left and right which I know that could mean a line up but even after I line it up, it still does the same thing. I feel like it’s a defect with the suspension and driver assist systems with those model trucks. I love my truck and really don’t want to get rid of it. I’ve taken my truck to my dealership several times and I don’t want my warranty to run out before I can get my truck fixed. Can you help at all???

1/30/2023

My car was acting like it didn’t want to go. I felt the car trying to change gears but it was unable to. Almost caused an accident and I had my two children in the car. No check engine light came on until 2 days later after it began causing problems. I have researched this issue and it is a recurrent problem with Chevrolet Tahoes 2016. My husband had the same problem with his 2016 GMC sierra and had to have his transmission replaced at 118,000 miles. Seems like a recurrent problem with GMCs and CHEVROLET vehicles. It’s very dangerous.

GM has a known problem with the sensors for the side detection system that are placed outside in the rear of the vehicle. Tires splash water and salt directly on the sensors causing them to short out. This short not only causes the side detection to misreport whether a vehicle is in your blind spot, it also manifests itself with lift gate malfunctions and various other messages displayed on the DIC like Service Park Assist System or Service Trailer Brake. My Tahoe has had all these issues. To date GM has not recalled my Tahoe or any other GM vehicle with this problem. The dealership quoted me $1,700 for the fix and are having trouble sourcing the new sensors since apparently I am not the only one affected. Howabout your agency looking into this and suggesting to GM to man up on this and cover the repair through a recall and a reimbursement for those who paid out of pocket.
