Vehicle experiences delayed stopping at low speeds. The initial incident occurred on 10/16/20 while approaching a 4 way stop--the vehicle rolled thru the stop. On 10/21/20 it occurred again while parking the vehicle, pulled up slightly and stopped to put in reverse, but the vehicle continued to roll. No accidents occurred in these situations as no other vehicles were around. Owner's husband inspected brake pads and all were within specification and brake fluid was at appropriate level--noted that when the break pedal was depressed multiple times the pressure could be felt building at the pedal but vehicle would still roll.
Took vehicle to dealership for engine light and complete power loss while driving 70mph on highway. Was told uneven wear on brakes, that they needed to be replaced soon (25083, miles on vehicle)they did not inform me of the notice about uneven front brake pad wear bulletin #pit5377d. Anaow at latest check , metal to metal, was informed of the bullein from a brake place. Dealership was well aware of vehicle having defective pads and rotors, yet didnot inform customer!.
Brakes consistently soft pressure especially on downgrades. Came close to hitting parked cars at traffic lights. Brake was pressed almost to the floor before it stopped. I have taken it into dealership where they have changed pads fixed rotors but still very soft mushy brakes. Many complaints I am reading about this 2016 Tahoe. When parked pressing brake 3 times is when it finally feels like it is in correct position. I owed 2008 suburban for 10 years and had no problems with the braking system.
