This year model has a serious defective problem with the gas accelerator malfunctioning. I have spoken to dozen of friends and family with this year model and above an all have problems with the gas pedal. This will lead to someone being killed if not addressed by the builder of the truck. The pedal sticks when driving ,thus causing you to accelerate when driving. I have almost ran into the vehicle in front of me. I have asked family and friends with the same type of truck and they too have has this problem.

Vehicle's autostop feature is extremely dangerous when driver is trying to apply the brakes and slow vehicle. Vehicle jolts violently forward upon breaking and accelerates to 10 mph. Vehicle's transmission failed at 135k miles during stop at traffic light in hayward CA in Dec 2018. Transmission was rebuilt. Vehicle at 145k miles now is completely shutting down during auto stop with low rpm's without any service codes to check. At all times vehicle is in drive.
When in heavy traffic coming to auto stop then auto start vehicle accelerates on it's own even with brake pedal is applied to control vehicle from take off and go then start stalling shaking like transmission is gonna fall a part then shuts off. Once turn it of and restart vehicle goes back to normal. Untill its stop and go traffic again problem reoccurring. Danger to bump into vehicles infront of you cause accident. Also vehicle speeds up on it's own without applying gas pedal at 40 to 50 mph.
The brake pedal is too close to the driver in relation to the gas pedal. The distance of each pedal cannot be adjusted independently. A driver's foot can be trapped in between the two pedals because of the gap. In a fatal situation, it takes longer for the right foot to move from the gas pedal to the brake pedal since the right foot cannot just move laterally to the left, but it needs to go around.

While driving vehicle continues to drop into reduced power mode causing a jarring motion as it drops a significant amount of speed,almost causing multiple accidents. The check engine light comes on, traction control turns off, stabillitrack turns off, and engine goes into limp mode and starts shaking and jarring. The same 2 codes continue to come up in diagnosis. P2135 and p2176. I have taken the vehicle to three mechanics 1 of them being chevy its self. With no solution found. I have had the acceleration pedal replaced, the wiring replaced, the ignition switch and relay replaced had the throttle body connector replaced, the throttle body and gasket replaced 3 times. I have done everything recommended by all shops including chevy. Please help as the truck has been in the shop more then it has been on the road and I have almost been in multiple accidents as the truck is difficult to control when the issue happens.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the reduced engine speed warning indicator randomly flashed several times. The vehicle drastically reduced speed intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the throttle body position sensor, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
Takata recall on my vehicle - why is taking so long to remedy this recall? I also have a few other issues I want to mention. I bought my Tahoe in July 2016, my dash is cracking on the driver's side and from what I've read, this is very common and gm is ignoring the issue. My vehicle also started taking off on its own, took extra pressure to stop & rpm would fluctuate sporadically. After contacting a dealer, I was told there was campaign to replace the throttle body sensor but it had expired while the previous owner had possession and was told I'd have to pay for the repair and would possibly have to replace the throttle body. After replacing the sensor, my vehicle's rpm still fluctuates upon stopping and idle is rough. Very upset Chevrolet customer now.
Transmission is not shifting and I see that tens of thousands of people are with the same problem on the particularly SUV 2007 chevy Tahoe this transmission should be a recall or at least fix it with a low price of less than $500 so we can keep buying these trucks.
While driving around 60 mph the car does a massive shake. Check engine light comes on, stabilization turns off, traction controls turns off and engine power is reduced first to 10mph and could not get more than 30mph. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler due to my sudden stop. The SUV is now in engine power reduced mode.
My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in November 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First I was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be deadly. In reviewing comments in the Chevroletforum. Com many consumers are having the same issues with the same results (a guessing game) why isn't this a recall?.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle hesitated and lost power as if it would stall without warning. The air bag light illuminated and the vehicle did not respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the radio powered on and off. The doors locked and unlocked on their own. The contact pulled the vehicle over, waited a few minutes, and proceeded to drive. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
The speedometer started jumping from 55 miles an hour 120 miles an hour while driving on the interstate. At a stopped position the speedometer goes back down to 50 miles an hour and stays there.

Started my vehicle and let it warm up. No issues. . After waiting 5 min I drove away from my house and within 1 minute of driving( could of been less), all of my dash lights flashed/glitched,and my gauge needles go all the way down,I lose accuracy of speed, fuel,temps,etc. My indicator( where it shows mileage) reset to "driver 1" . Same thing happens everytime, and its always random, except the last 2 days. I just purchased this vehicle used, last year and a carfax was done and I just did a VIN search and nothing states this vehicle was either recalled or was the problem originally fixed when there was a recall.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 75 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to decelerate.

The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.
2010 Chevrolet Tahoe ltz check engine light came on and would drive but in a jerking motion. We had vehicle towed to our mechanic who diagnosed the issue as a engine control module dtc p2135, the reduced engine power displayed and the traction off also displayed. The mechanic was able to clean out the throttle body to remove the check engine light. I then called my local Chevrolet/gm service center in east hartford, CT and they said that the item is covered under a special coverage adjustment #11273 for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles but there is nothing they can do until the light comes back on. He informed me that it will happen again, though. I then called corporate gm and they also told me that there is nothing I can do except wait for the issue to arise. The manager told me that the engine speed would reduce to 50mph but it isn't a safety concern. If this car is traveling at 65-70mph on the highway and reduces speed to 50mph with no brake light how is this not a safety issue??? needless to say, they said there was absolutely nothing they could do so now I have to have my wife and 2 kids drive around in a vehicle that we know has an issue but cannot not get it fixed properly until it occurs again. This is a common issue with these vehicles and it needs to be addressed as a safety recall before someone gets seriously injured. Case #71-1421481120.
Driving along on the highway and the speedometer starts going crazy says I am going 120mph it still doing it auto nation in roswell GA wants $ 600 their is a recall but says my truck is too old but has the right mileage .
2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. Representative from the city writes in regards to problems with police fleet. The consumer stated after the new engine calibrations were installed on seven vehicles, less than 24 hours later, the problem continued, along with additional issues and problems that were never experienced before. Specifically, the vehicles lunged forward aggressively after coming to a stop. Gm eventually removed the calibrations. The issue with the vehicles stalling, lack of power, idle surging and hesitation upon acceleration, continued.
The forward collision alert system just doesn't work. I cannot make it produce a collision alert no matter what I do. For example it is advertised to provide a heads up visual warning as well as an audial warning if I approach the car in front of me to rapidly. It does not the system also a green automobile icon when you are following closer than about 200 feet to the vehicle in front of you. The green icon is advertised to turn yellow if you follow too close. It does not. The only time that I have ever seen the red heads up display is when it is a false alert. All and all, this system which was touted to be a great safety feature is totally worthless.
When driving the dash lights flash, door locks move up and down, speedometer will go to zero then back up to speed an so forth, the Tahoe will start gearing down on its own, the air will go off, and the radio will flash on and off. The vehicle has even shut completely off before when going down the interstate. Have had to replace dvd player,horn. Also have 3 children this vehicle is not safe at all to drive. I dont want to sale it because im scared for someone eles's life.

Was accelerating on the interstate on-ramp. Accelerator pedal was depressed and when I released foot off pedal, it stayed in its position causing the vehicle to continue to accelerate. I stomped on pedal several times to get it to release. It finally released and I was in control of the vehicle.

I was at a red light and the car tried turning off and also I was on the highway and the car started slowing down. The dashboard lights have gone out on the radio and on the steeling wheel as well. I am very scared that this issue with the speed will cause me a fatal accident and I have two kids.
While driving the speedometer is showing 0 on both the digital display and analog needle display. Also it is showing that the vehicle is in park. Only by pulling over and starting the car up again (~5 minutes), the problem goes away.
Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph there was static coming from the radio and then the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights on the instrument panel. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The static from the radio also caused the electric windows to open and close intermittently. The failure was diagnosed by the dealer who stated that the full body throttle needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76127. Rk.
While driving my vehicles traction control is coming on for no reason. The dealership said it is a false reading causing the traction control to come on when it shouldn't. They said the sensors would need replaced and all the previous models have had this recalled but not out current year yet. The dealership said there are so many that have had this same problem but it has yet to be recalled on this current model. This is a death trap while driving but we don't have the $500 to fix it. This part should be recalled like the rest of the models. It is so scary and hard to control when it suddenly starts doing it!!! please help!!.
At 90,000 miles, all of my rear bearings were bad and had to have them replaced, basically a whole new rear end. Luckily it was covered under the 100,000 mile power train warranty. I have only towed a trailer twice with my Tahoe, so obviously a defect somewhere. Second issue is that there are 2 cracks on the dashboard; one in the area of the passenger side air bag, and the other on the backside of the drivers side steering column. These both occurred about the same time, around 100,000 miles. Obviously this is a widespread issue. Gm needs to be replacing these dashboards on their dime and not expecting the customer to foot the bill for this defective product. It is definitely a safety issue. Should the airbag system have to deploy, pieces of plastic would become projectiles that would harm anyone inside the vehicle. The third issue I have, that began today at 109,000 miles, are involving the instrument panel. The speedometer did not work, the light that indicates which gear you are in did not come on, and the seat belt light and air bag light were on even though I was wearing my seat belt. I'm not sure what is causing this, and I'm hoping it is just a bad fuse. I am so dicouraged with my Tahoe lately. All of these little things going wrong have really made me leary of buying another gm product, and I've been excited about the 2015 redesign. Not so much now.
A few weeks ago I was traveling down hwy 60 in southwest missouri and the "reduced engine power" light came on. The vehicle immediately slowed to about 4-5 miles per hour and I was unable to accelerate. I crawled to the next exit where I barely made it up the incline and into a gas station. We checked the gas, oil, battery, etc. I turned off the vehicle and when I started it up again, it seemed fine. I continued home. The next day I took it to a mechanic who said that it all checked out perfectly and there was nothing wrong. This has happened 12-15 times in the last month and every time I take it to the mechanic, he tells me that the computer is not "throwing codes" and there is nothing wrong. This is not a figment of my imagination. This keeps happening. The most recent "episode" was last night. We took the boat down to the river to go gigging at night. When I went to pull the trailer up the boat ramp and park the vehicle, the "reduced engine power" light again came on and I could not pull up the hill. Every time I attempted it, the light came on and I actually went backwards towards the river!! my children were in the vehicle and I was scared we would be trapped it something further malfunctioned and we rolled back into the deep cold water!!! from what I have now researched gm is aware of this problem and I do not understand why a problem this potentially deadly has not been dealt with! I am not the first owner of this vehicle and have never had a problem like this. I am a single mother of three beautiful boys and I am scared to drive my car because of this. I cannot put them in a potentially deadly situation. So our only vehicle sits and waits in our driveway leaving me stranded a lot until gm can come up with a solution on their dime. This isn't fair that a problem is know and no one at gm will fix it. Please help fix this before someone dies!.
