“My Tahoe is having problems with acceleration. Sometimes the vehicle will idle over the RPM and won't switch gears or speed unless I let go of the gas to bring the RPM down and then accelerate again. There are also times when the car jerks when accelerating and makes a loud noise as if something just popped or broke and sometimes it feels like it's about to stall when accelerating. Car is also vibrating/shaking when at a complete stop. Lastly, heat comes out of the vents of the vehicle even when the system is off. …”

“Takata recall. On june 20th 2019 I came out to get in my vehicle to leave work. As I was driving, I noticed the AC was not getting cold and antifreeze was checked and fine. Took it in to a chevy dealership and was told the condenser was out on my vehicle. I was just over 37,000 miles when this occurred, drove off the lot brand new september 2017, and was told since it was over my 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty nothing could be done. Did other research and condensers had previously been recalled on 2015-2017 chevy tahoes, but was told mine was not one of them . …”

“*takata recall* I have been noticing a lot of different issues with my 2017 Tahoe premier. The engine block is a deep rust color. Engine is extremely hot even hours later after parking. There is a thick black sludge that is on nearly every part under the truck. I started hearing a ticking noise that sped up as my driving speed increases. This issue occurs often but not daily. As well as when turning into my driveway it makes a high pitched popping noise ( the sound is similar to a small rock being flung onto the aluminum wheel) I also hear grinding noises when making a sharp turn. …”
