I purchased my 2019 Tahoe 12/4/2018 and it is a 2019. I have only 9900 miles on the vehicle. In a parking lot my vehicle would not start correctly it was weak but eventually did start. THEN a message appeared and said Service Trailer Brake System. I drove to Starling Chevrolet Mt. Pleasant, SC and they diagnosed it as a module that is going to cost me $1,227. I have never used a trailer. It is only 8 months over the warranty per the dealer. I looked on line and found numerous owners have had this same Service Trailer Brake System service issue.

The power steering failed while driving and we had our baby in the car. We had to make quick adjustment to our driving. We made it home bit very difficultly. I believe there is a problem with the control module because I was able to get it working again but almost immediately it faults out again.

Sudden and unexpected loss of power steering several times. In all cases, the loss of power steering has happened when starting the car. Turning the ignition off and immediately on again did not resolve the issue. Turning the ignition off and letting the car sit for 10 minutes before re-starting the car appeared to resolve the issue. The vehicle has been inspected several times by the service department of Mayer Chevrolet in St. Petersburg, Florida, who has been unable to replicate the issue and therefore has responded that they are unable to resolve the issue. GM has issued a recall for the same issue that has been identified on the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and other related GM vehicles, recognizing there is an issue, but no recall exists for the 2019 Tahoe. Issue continues to happen every few months.

While driving on the freeway truck had lost all power and steering and braking capacity. The screen on dash went completely black with no warning signs. Vehicle could not accelerate and or brake other than drift in lane. Vehicle was without power for a brief time until power came back was able to not crash vehicle as this happened at a high rate on speed on busy freeway. When power did engage back on the dash lights now were full brightness and no control to dim it down could have been sign of definitely Electrical issues. This had occurred several times since it had this major problem! I then urgently took my vehicle to specific Chevy dealership for service and was refused service at dealership for the major electronic black out. I had no other choice but I then had contact Chevy customer service line to bring them this major problem four months ago. To this current day I still haven-€™t had any support or assistance in addressing this major problem with my vehicle! Chevy support or lack there of has only delayed addressing my to get serviced to see what-€™s causing this problems!

I was turning left from the freeway feeder light that was already green upon approach. Assk I passed the intersection, I colided from on directly at the front passenger side, impacting the rear driver side of a smaller VW atals. My vehicle spun out of control stopping at the opposite side of the intersection at the median. My airbags never deployed. The other car involved we hit at the rear driver side and all his airbags deployed. I hit my chin, head, and arms and feel naseau since the accident. Airbags should have deployed to prevent my head from hitting various parts of the car or worse brain shaking. My car sustained frame damage and extensive front damage.

Purchased 2019 Chevy Tahoe lt on 10/27. Began having serious electrical issues on 11/26 with the message of 'reduced steering assist drive with care' message appearing after vehicle startup. When this message appears vehicle will not go in reverse and steering wheel won't move and car only goes about 5 mph in drive. Car was towed and issue wasn't duplicating at dealer. They did inspection and returned after a week of testing. About a day after return of vehicle, message occurred again and this time we videoed malfunction. Vehicle is back at dealership and they cannot replicate again. First time vehicle was in shop, error code U0100 was present and we are currently trying to get codes currently present. Vehicle has been in service for 3 weeks and they haven't found a solid cause.
