1 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2022

1. ) the wire harness between the body control modules are failing. 2. ) when I tow my boat I could loose braking at any time. Display of " service trailer brake system" overrides all other displays on console. Repetitive chiming noise is very distracting and irritating. 3. ) yes, I took it back in soon after I purchased it (a lot of money) and the chevy rep said it probably was something to do with loose wires concerning the towing. I showed them a picture of the the warning display that I took immediately. They supposedly plugged in a diagnostic reader and said that since the code was no longer showing that they were unable to determine what precisely the issue was, but it was safe to drive. 4. ) component was not inspected by anyone. I was told that if it came on and I was in the area; to bring it in so that they can see the display. 5. ) yes there was a warning message that showed up multiple times. 1 or 2 weeks after being purchased on 3/11/22. I feel that the chevy reps know of the issue ( bad wiring harness between 2 of the body control modules) and acted as if the had no clue of the picture of the warning display that I showed them and they were able to tell me it was safe to drive even though they said they didn't know what the issue was. ???? I like chevy vehicles; it would be nice to see chevy stand behind their product. This is the 2nd Tahoe that I've owned, standing behind your work keeps and promotes customers.

Having issues with braking. Occasionally at high speeds, but more often during lower speeds.

Had a collision, hit the rear end of another vehicle yesterday morning during rush hour, 3/18/2019. I was slowing down to 15 mph, due to a red light, but brake pedal would not brake, becoming very stiff, making it impossible to brake, and stopped due to the collision. Luckily no one was hurt.

7 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2017

I live in a fairly arid climate, where rain doesn't occur frequently. A couple of months ago, after my Tahoe had been sitting in the rain, I noticed water dripping from the inside door pillar when I opened the door. I just assumed it was water than came in from the outside when I opened the door. Then about nine days ago, while driving in the rain, water began dripping from the top center console area, in a steady stream. When I took it into the Chevrolet dealer they said that the seal on the hi-frequency antennae (shark fin antennae), over the driver's side was faulty, and that water was leaking in through it. Since there was not a recall for my VIN, and since rain was predicted to continue for several days, I had no choice but to pay $452. 32 to have a new antennae installed. The service department did what they could to dry the area out in between the roof and the ceiling and left the cover off the side driver's airbag so it would dry, telling me to return in a week so they could replace the cover on the airbag. In addition to being out a lot of money, I am concerned about the side airbag possibly malfunctioning after being wet over a period of time.

9 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2017

The exterior side panel that separate front and back of Tahoe threatens to fly off during driving. It's primarily on highway driving from 50+ miles per hour. It's as if wind is getting under them and its always a concern they are going to fly off. We often are stopping and hitting it back in place. If it come off it will be a $130-180 piece each side and cosmetically ugly for our vehicle and a danger to other motor vehicles as a flying object. Please recall this as we are hearing from dealerships it is a common part coming off of the Tahoes. It is a common occurrence. It didn't happen just once.

10 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2017

I was driving down the highway at about 70 mph and my wife looked in the passenger side mirror and saw the applique on the passenger side door behind the window (where the b pillar is) was loose and flapping in the wind. I had some tape in the vehicle so I pulled to the side, taped it down, and continued driving. I took the vehicle into the Chevrolet dealer the next day and they said it is a common problem with the Tahoe. The dealer said the design of the applique attachment was poorly done and when they replace them they now use a stronger attachment. The dealer found 2 other appliques loose and recommended replacing them as well before they flew off while driving and possibly causing a safety issue to someone behind my Tahoe.
