The transmission has failed several times during driving with no check engine light or maintenance required light appearing. I get monthly reports saying that the engine does not have any problems. My safety and others safety were put at risk because any time during driving the engine can lose power and you will no longer be able to accelerate. This could be dangerous on roads and especially highways if you are traveling at fast speeds and cannot get out the way of others possibly causing an accident. I have recently taken my vehicle to a car mechanic shop and they say this is a common issue in the transmission of similar makes and models around this year. There were no previous warning lamps or messages from the vehicle or the monthly diagnostic reports I receive monthly. The problem started occurring before 150,000 miles.

While traveling on the highway, my dashboard indicated that my transmission was overheating. I had to pull over immediately and turn off the engine to allow it to cool down in the middle of heavy traffic in an unsafe location almost getting hit my multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed. All regular maintenance has been done and it only has 119,000 miles. I purchased it in may 2023 with 113,000 miles from a reputable dealership and this occurred in October 2033, only 5 months later.

The transmission needs to be replaced and it’s costing over $6,000.

While traveling on a busy highway with cruise control on the rpms would go up about 2,000 then drop back down to normal. This happened all the way home (1hr 30min). No lights on dash or warning went on. Then when I was back in the city, I was at a stoplight turning left and pressed the gas it engaged and started to move and then the rpms shot up to 4,000 and the car didn't go. No warning lights, messages appeared.

When I attempt to speed up or slow down my truck hesitates, and it's followed by a significant shake, like a shudder, and sometimes it just jerks, or clunks, like it's doing a very “hard shift” when the automatic transmission changes the gears. Sometimes it shifts so violently, I feel like I got hit by another vehicle. I've also tried to accelerate into traffic, and the truck hesitate and then abruptly and violently jerks into gear. It creates a big traffic safety issue! other times the transmission shifts gears so hard that it slams the truck forward, and makes feels like I've been rear-ended. Now it barely shifts!.

In 2022, the transmission experienced a complete failure and required replacement. Unfortunately, the vehicle is now encountering the same issues once more. From various forums, it appears that these issues are prevalent with the 2015 Suburban, including the need for ac condenser replacements. Having had to address both problems, it's clear these repairs are quite expensive for a family vehicle, especially considering regular maintenance.

The transmission on my vehicle had a catastrophic failure according to the dealership with only 80k miles. This car is driven 10k-15k miles a year. This is completely unacceptable. These need to be recalled as this is happening to more & more of these model vehicles.

Hello, while driving my chevy Suburban last week as I was pumping gas with my two year old son in the back seat. I saw smoke leaking and rolling out from the bottom of my vehicle. I had shift the vehicle off and inspected thoroughly. I couldn’t see and understand where this was coming from. It wasn’t the engine block and no check engine lights had come on. So I let the vehicle cool and started her up. No issue until I was a mile or two from my family summer rental and all of a sudden the vehicle felt as though it slipped out of gear. I was left without any power and realized I was smoking again. I pulled or what I would call drifted to the break down lane and pulled my little man out of the vehicle. This happened on Saturday and after almost a week in the shop, the dealership sprung me a nice $5200 price for a transmission. I am now looking and seeing two different recalls for this vehicle. Ironically the these two issues look exactly like the two recalls they have for the power train.

My condenser went out at 96k. I contacted gm and they stated that they had a recall on the condenser. Took the vehicle in to a gm/Chevrolet dealership and they began to inform me that the recall only is for vehicles less than 60k. They stated that gm knows there is a problem but due to mileage my vehicle is not covered. Due to living in the south I can not afford to have a car and not have air. So we fixed the condenser out of pocket. 1st-the condenser part was on a national back order and they stated that it could take up to a month to receive the part. Alert that there is a problem with the manufactory making condensers for gm cars. 2nd-the part was $200-300, although the service was $1100. 3rd-6 months after the replacement of the condenser and all working fine, paying out of pocket. The transmission goes out and the connection is associated with the replacement of the condenser. Gm is aware of this issue but only wants to assist with people who mileage is less than 60k. There is obviously a serious problem and gm has not taken ownership! total cost in 2yrs for repairing and fixing 1part that lead to 3parts $4. 5k.

We have multiple problems with our new Suburban. After traveling slowly or coasting in traffic, when I try to accelerate the vehicle won't go and when it finally decides to go it shudders and vibrates badly, it also does this from a complete stop, been to the dealer 2 times so far this and the last time they told me "it is a normal characteristic of vehicle". It is a very bad one and it will cause a wreck! the radio display flickers all the time even when back up camara is on, gm has no fix for this yet either! the vehicle sticker says it has heated/ac seats, it doesn't have a/c seats, they are airrated from the air in vehicle, that was a total misrepresentation of the product on the sales sticker. Gm rep had us test drive another Suburban and we drove 3 different ones and not one of the others did the things our does. When we informed gm of this they said sorry we don't qualify for a buyback/replacement. Gm doesn't care to help and its their very expensive product. I hope no one dies or is injured from the hesitations that gm know these vehicles have that is 0. 7 seconds before the vehicle will engage or reengage when excelerating from a slow roll or a complete stop.

Vehicle is creating a buffeting, pressure sound and sensation at low to mid range speeds. Creating headache, dizziness and strain.

When driving the 2015 Suburban we experience an awful ear pressure and vibration. The car is not driveable and is causing headaches and vertigo. The problem is known by service techs and gm. They believe there is a problem when the car transitions from v8 to v4. There are multiple forums online regarding the issue. Gm has not issued a fix as of yet. From what I have read, the problem is found in 2015 Suburbans, escalades, and yukon xls. We purchased the vehicle with 1750 miles on it. After putting 500 miles on it, we cannot wait to get rid of it, and have attempted to initiate a buyback procedure with gm.

The vehicle completely stalls and loses all power. It usually happens when you run the vehicle on the highway and have to come to a stop after exiting. In my case I drove the vehicle for an hour and half and exited the express way. Once, I exited and slowed down to come to a complete stop the engine starts to run rough and just before you completely stop it stalls out. This has happened at least sevne times on a 1400 mile trip. It even happens when you come to a stop behind other cars. You can put it in park or neutral and the vehicle will restart.

This vehicle has a push button start/stop. You can stop the vehicle while it is in gear, and if you get out the vehicle can just roll away. This has nearly caused 2 serious accidents, once it rolled backwards, narrowly missing a pedestrian, another time forwards into a car in front. Gm need to rectify this ASAP.

Vehicle was slipping and losing power. Vehicle was loosing power every time I slowed down on a traffic light and/or stop signs. Vehicle was taken to a local shop and it was determined that vehicle had serious transmission issues. Vehicle was then taken to richard k Chevrolet. Their report (attached here) states “found code for pressure control solenoid stuck on. Found large metal debris in fluid. Found transmission suffered mass internal failure. Recommend replacement”. Chevrolet will not take any responsibility for this massive failure and I ended up having to pay $5,500 to fix the issue (documents attached). I’m looking for Chevrolet to reimburse my expenses given that a vehicle just a bit over 100,000 miles underwent such a massive failure. My number is [xxx] .
