“Hole has formed in the condenser where a faulty weld was made causing all freeon to leak out and the air conditioning system stop working. I am disabled and have rheumatoid arthritis and GM is not recalling this part due to no safety issues. However, for me this is a health and safety issue as I cannot be in a vehicle without air conditioning in my states extreme summer temperatures.”

“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 feels like it wants to shift gears when it's not going above 25mph. It's happened on city streets. It happens as soon as the Tahoe is put into gear. It does not happen all of the time though. It goes away after I drive it for a couple of miles. It has not happened on the highway. Other times it feels like there's no power to the engine even when its in motion. At first I thought it was the brakes because it feels like its stuttering, like its misfiring, but I've had the brakes checked and they're fine. …”

“I have a 2016 Tahoe that I purchased new from dealer. I had also purchased a protection plan with finishing touch that they talked us into when we bought the car on the paint and interior. 3.5 years into ownership the paint on the hood and roof faded. We contacted the protection plan and they were more than willing to take care of. They sent an adjuster out and he classified as clear coat failure. Then the run around started. I contacted Chevrolet and I contacted the dealership. We took the car to the dealership and talked with the assistant manager in the service department. …”
