My 2016 Tahoe just shut off on me and my daughter inside of the tunnel with heavy traffic. When I placed the gear in drive the vehicle roll back instead of moving forward. I was afraid because the traffic was steady moving. The emergency wrecker pushed my Tahoe to safety out of the tunnel. I had it towed to my mechanic he said it-€™s the transmission. The engine light came on afterwards. The dealer refused the acknowledgment of the vehicle. I purchased as is. I purchase the vehicle 11-09-2022 it shut off 12-20-2022
This complaint is with respect to the GM Infotainment System. While driving on the 405 freeway in Orange County, CA, the sound level of the infotainment system went to maximum. This being extremely painful, I tried to turn down the volume of the sound system. All controls were frozen and inoperative. I had to pull off the freeway and find a parking spot so I could turn off the engine for a short time to allow the electronics to reset. I had my wife and granddaughter with me. I have had this infotainment system freeze at other times such as using the navigation system, or the sound system. This could be a very dangerous condition while driving. I can imagine a driver being greatly distracted while attempting to deal with a problem such as this, or even a lesser problem. What is needed is a way to reset the electronics while driving. This could be a special button or pushing a pair of existing buttons. I consider this a very dangerous problem. I queried the dealership for a reset procedure but they had nothing to offer.
The DIC shows -€œCAL-€ and will not allow direction of travel. The navigation system will not re-calibrate after many efforts to do so with instructions from manufacturer.

I was driving on the 405 freeway, passing through Orange, , County, CA. While adjusting the sound level of the radio, part of the Infotainment system, the volume jumped to maximum level. These automobiles have superior sound systems and the sound was at a painful level. Nothing that I could touch had any effect on the sound level. Also in the car was my wife and a young granddaughter who started crying. So I had to exit the freeway and find a parking place where I could stop the engine and allow the Infotainment system reset and I could then select a normal volume. This could have been the cause of an accident because all of my attention was turned to the electronics. Freezes and non operation of the other features of these electronics has also occurred which causes the driver to turn his attention to getting things working again. What is severely needed is a way to easily reset the electronics by the driver. This could be a simple button on the steering wheel or a combination of buttons that would safely reset the system back to normal while driving.
2016 Chevrolet Tahoe. Consumer stated that while driving the vehicle began to sway and was unastable. The consumer stated while towing a trailer, the vehicle began swaying uncontrollably and flipped on it's side. The trailer was totaled.
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. There's also a check engine light that the mechanics I've taken it to can't decipher why its on. I can't remember the first time it happened, but it has happened several times, and I don't know what the mileage on the odometer was when it first happened. I've had the Tahoe for 4 years now.
Service stabilitrak, stabilitrak initializing, steering assist reduced drive with caution, and park assist off are all dash errors on 2016 Chevy Tahoe that dealer is unable to fix after several attempts and costly repairs which resulted in full control of vehicle driving on highway and roads. Steering tightens, ABS braking affected and traction is reduced when vehicle is in motion.
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.
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. He brought out the manager and he confirmed that it was paint failure. So then the dealership gets involved with Chevrolet. The first call comes back and says they will cover 20%. I told them that some one was going to cover the repairs and it won't be me. They sold me a protection plan through finishing touch for the paint and the interior so someone needs to cover the damage. After a few days I get a call stating that between the dealership, Chevrolet and finishing touch it would be repaired at no cost. Now it gets better. We took the vehicle back to the dealership to have the hood and the roof repainted. After a week at the body shop the car is ready to be picked up. We walk up to the car and it is all shiny and looking good. But the color doesn't match. We call the service manager out and he says he can't see the issue. The Tahoe is a brownstone metallic and the hood is more bronze than the rest of the vehicle. He tells me he can get the paint manager to come speak to me because he can't see the problem. This is a overcast day so it doesn't show really bright but my husband and I can see the difference. While we are waiting for the manager from the body shop to arrive we walk around the vehicle. Dealership states Chevrolet will not blend the paint to match.

Gps antenna leaked while parked in rain. Saturated head liner, steering wheel, and driver seat. Water puddled in driver floor mat. Gps signal lost until things dried out. Also has impacted collision avoidance system. Has happened several times in last 2 months. Problem is intermittent because vehicle is garaged most times. Doesn't occur while driving during rain, only when vehicle is parked and water can stream in through gap on backside of antenna and enter the defective inner seal. I have seen many accounts of this on forums. GM needs to conduct a recall on this problem.
Transmission seems to be slipping while in drive. Revs high but doesn't shift into gear nearly leaving me strained at an intersection after traffic light changed. Would struggle to get up to speed while shifting through the gears. I bought vehicle used with approximately 85K miles in April 2019 and previous owner had all the maintenance completed as required. The vehicle has roughly 90K miles on now. Vehicle has been sitting at Chevy dealer in imlay city, Michigan almost two weeks and they have yet to repair the vehicle. I've used this vehicle to tow my boat. When in reverse and backing boat into water at boat ramp I've applied the brakes and it seems to take a second or two for the brakes to react making it feel like the vehicle is still moving in reverse. Not sure if this an issue with the recent brake recall Sept 2019 or transmission issues.
The car was parked. We got in & shut the doors. When I tried to start the car, the doors locked automatically. I could not open the doors or roll down the windows. It was well over 100 degrees in the car. We were trapped in the car. While on the phone with 911, I was able to get the car to release the door locks and we escaped. The doors automatically locked and could not be opened. Evidently the battery was dead and the system shut down. There was no indication the battery was low. Having doors automatically lock and be disabled due to a battery is a huge safety hazard.
