Upon pressing brakes headlights flash, interior light flash, oil gage and rpms fluctuate all over. Stabilitrack sensor comes on. Upon accelerating to about 60-65the car brakes for itself. Doors lock, lights flash. Losing power steering when shifting gears
Heavy moisture is accumulating in the front left headlight with no cracks in the light. It is causing the left front turn signal to malfunction with a warning on control panel. This is dangerous to driving when making left turns with no front turn signal and will cause an accident eventually to some owners who cannot afford to get it fixed. Chevy will not take ownership of faulty design, part, or system and wants owner of car to assume responsibility for repair costs which are very high on these faulty parts. The extended warranty we purchased does not want to pay for repair either why should the owner who has no control over the installation of defective system have to pay for it ? please help save lives from potential crashes.
While driving on the highway at high speeds, 70-80 mph, steering became extremely difficult for brief periods. Often times it was immediately following actuation of the automatic window switch. It was accompanied with a lot of the loss of electrical power, a flickering control panel, ABS light, stab trak, brake assist, and park assist warnings. A/C would stop, radio would turn off, the dashboard would flicker, then I would have to acknowledge all of the warnings in order to clear the issue. Steering was tough, though controllable, but I question the ability of a less experienced drive to be able to handle the same problem at those speeds. This has happened before at lower speeds, usually while backing up to park. At lower speeds the SUV would cut off completely. At higher speeds, the stall was recoverable, very fortunate in this matter. Unable to get the issue to repeat at the dealership and it is very inconsistent. Usually resets itself once the car is turned off and restarted.
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.

On several occasions my care has given me a warning of stability rack issues and it will then just shut down.

And 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban vehicles equipped with a base radio and an internal amplifier. The radios in the affected vehicles may become inoperative, and as a result, there would be no audible chime to notify the driver if the door is opened with the key in the ignition or no audible seat belt warning indicating the seat belts were not buckled. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention, " and 208, "occupant crash protection."

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving various speeds, the interior lighting flickered when the driver's side turn signal was activated. When the brake pedal was depressed, the interior lighting would also flicker. The vehicle was taken to whiteside Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac (located at 50714 national rd E, St clairsville, oh 43950, (740) 695-0211) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to an electrical issue.

On May 31, 2018 I purchased a 2015 Chevy Tahoe ltz with 30,000miles that had been traded in at a local Ford dealership. Within days of purchasing it, the car began having issues with a stabilitrak warning followed by other erratic computer warnings. In following weeks the car also began having complete power failure at low speeds while turning and continues to have these problems to date. The engine also began smoking in July, caused, as it turns out, by a jammed belt on the air conditioner compressor. This vehicle has had many power failures in parking lots, on streets, the highway tunnel in boston and most recently on labor day weekend when the car stalled in charlestown, ri while slowing down at an intersection. I had no warning flashers or brake lights and the doors would not open. With the help of the local police dept. Who assisted me until the car restarted, I was able to drive it to a local residence. The Ford dealership sent a flatbed truck to tow it back to the facility where I purchased it. The dealership continues to return the car to me as it doesn't fail when they drive it due to its erratic nature, and service by several GM dealers they have sent it to have not been able to fix the problems either. I am stunned to learn that this vehicle is not on the recent recall list from GM regarding power steering issues at slow speeds. In a phone call to GM customer assistance on 9/21/18 (case number 8-4650063752) the representative confirmed that my vehicle was not on the list. I trust that by reporting these problems to you GM will be able to resolve this issue and insure my safety and those around me while driving. I appreciate your assistance and would be happy to provide any documentation I have available if requested. Attached are pictures of the vehicle and the id plate from the side of the car.

Multiple issues effecting this vehicle, and the issues occur when stabilitrac issue and ABS issue pops up on screen. A/C also stops blowing cold air, and speedometer reads zero while moving. The stabilitrac and ABS issues first occurred multiple times starting in the early warranty period.the main concern is the power assist malfunctioning causing total loss of steering control. When power assist re-engages, the vehicle will jump in the direction the steering wheel is turned. This is a major safety issue. I repeat that these issues started to occur during the early warranty period in 2015. The dealer could not duplicate the issues. There are multiple posts on line concerning the problems with the 2015 Tahoe, some actually causing accidents.
The rear passenger door will not unlock with either the key fob or the unlock button inside the vehicle. The children are not able to exit the vehicle on that side and must exit on the street side. The concern lies in the event of an emergency, the passenger in the back seat may not exit the vehicle nor may anyone enter from that door as it is locked permanently. I have reported this to General Motors for which they told me this is not a safety issue and I will be fully responsible for diagnostics and repairs including all financial responsibility. I am aware of a similar problem in an older vehicle recently where the passenger perished in a fire as the door was inaccessible, also a GM SUV. I was given a case number but was advised my case is now closed since my vehicle is passed the warranty. Case # 8-4228203687.
