Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electrical software isn't functioning properly. The radio, onstar, the door/seat belt chimes don't work. None of the electrical works in the vehicle. I was driving and when I pressed on the brake and turning, the dome lights start to flicker making it difficult to see other cars at night. The back doors don't always lock when locking them.”
NHTSA complaint #11396885, filed 2021-02, 5 miles“I put on the brakes and the interior lights flicker it is distracting while driving at night. Seems to happen while car is running on the cooler side or just starting. This has been happening since we purchased the vehicle. I have done some research and it seems that I am not the only 2015 chevy Tahoe owner who is experiencing this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11287196, filed 2019-12, 97,000 miles“I own a 2015 Tahoe that I really want to like, but the problems have been one after another! I have had my window panels replaced 3 times. My dvd player stopped working. My A/C just had to be repaired for a leaking condenser, and now my back hatch won't open due to the motor going out. Oh...and I almost forgot I have been without onstar/ GPS for about a year now because that is also broken.”
NHTSA complaint #11322002, filed 2020-04, 55,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11202765, filed 2019-04, 108,000 miles“Interior lights flickering when brake pedal is applied - this is both distracting and dangerous to the driver as this happens when we are in motion when the brake pedal is applied. I have seen other complaints online so wondering why there is not a recall.”
