Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I live in a fairly arid climate, where rain doesn't occur frequently. A couple of months ago, after my Tahoe had been sitting in the rain, I noticed water dripping from the inside door pillar when I opened the door. I just assumed it was water than came in from the outside when I opened the door. Then about nine days ago, while driving in the rain, water began dripping from the top center console area, in a steady stream. …”

“While driving the vehicle's driver seat will move forwards and backwards making it unable to reach pedals to stop safely, air bag light will flash erratically, loud ticking noise, miss-fire/vibration while idling. Been to the dealership twice to fix still not fixed, contacted GM about issues and to file a complaint. Now dealership refuses to work on Tahoe”

“I am having power steering issues. I reached out to Chevrolet and they said in their system the recall was performed in 2019 prior to me purchasing the vehicle in 2021. I should not have to pay for an issue that was recalled. I’m unaware of what was done prior to my purchase of the vehicle in 2021”

“I was hit in a head on collision going through a stop light which resulted in me hitting the steering wheel and my air bag did not deploy. Furthermore since then my back windshield wiper works only occasionally. Ofcourse it works when I can get in at the dealership.”
