“My Tahoe does not start! Then it will hours later, it has happened 3 times in 2 days I have taken it to a local dealer and the said it keeps starting for them, we asked them to drive it then try again. Waiting to hear! I also have had my radio shut off then after 10 min will turn back on? I love my truck, but not if I can't drive it”

“When accelerating it sounds like my vehicle is stuck in brake degrading or is making that distinguishing noise. My vehicle is in the shop for the second time to fix the same issue of park assist, side detection and front camera service. When expressing my concern for this problem of the sound the dealership said let's fix the service issues first as everything is electronic. I hope my vehicle is safe to drive.”

“Collision alert system does not function with enough warning distance on the seat vibration and red flash projection on the windshield. The driver essentially must near collide with an object or vehicle for this feature to work. The yellow caution indicator in the dash display will light-up but the seat vibration and red flash on the windshield does not function. Chevrolet dealership insists it works properly, I contend it does not based the functionality of the previous model I owned, a 2015 Tahoe. This safety function advertised by Chevrolet does not function as intended.”

NHTSA complaint #11074450, filed 2018-02, 900 miles

“I purchased a 2018 Tahoe 20 days ago and at 45 MPH and 65-75 MPH I feel pressure in my ears which then makes me feel nauseous which leads to severe headaches. This buffering occurs every time I drive it. I have tried driving with the windows down / up, radio on / off. Nothing changes to lessen the effects. I goggled searched it today and found several reports and complainants about this issue but both GM customer assistance and my dealer says they never heard of the problem. The pressure occurs on local roads and highway, every time between the speeds of 45-55 and 65-75 MPH.”

NHTSA complaint #11039710, filed 2017-10, 200 miles

“After being stopped at a stop sign or red lightthe car seems to not want to go after your foot is taken off the brake and placed on the accelerator to need to go. The vehicle will then hesitate to go and then all of a sudden jerk real hard as if being hit from behind right before it decides to accelerate.”
