Vehicle safety features / starting sets uncontrollably shaking, and warning crash started alerting randomly. Had extended warranty but noticed others had the same issue. Feel like a deductible should not have been applied to have this repaired as it is a safety feature on the vehicle.

Oil pressure, temp, tac, speedometer, gauges fluctuating, while many failures flash on the driver info center screen, audio warnings also.engine revs and power steering fails. This has happened in all driving conditions, stopped, city, country, highway roads. This has happened about four times, and we have it at a dealer now for the third time. The first dealer could not duplicate the problem. Second dealer said the problem was a steering lock control module and replaced it, the third dealer is still working on it. The loss of power steering, making the car very hard to steer is what has prompted me to make this report. This happened for the first time, August 13, 2019 and the last time, January 29, 2020

I continue to have reoccurring problems with my 2015 Chevy Suburban. The problems consist of electronics resetting/flashing or turning off and staying off, specifically, media system, window control. Many times this occurs at a similar time to the stabilitrack warning system coming on and losing power steering and complete loss of power to the vehicle. Sometimes after the loss of power the vehicle will not crank without being jumped off. The vehicle was brought in for service at captiol Chevrolet in montgomery for these issues on 8/27/19-8/30/19. No diagnostic codes were found, however, it was recommended we service the dirty throttle body as this could be part of the problem. We had this service performed. Since then, we've experienced problems on 9/2/19 @ 4pm-ish- all electronics flashed off/on while traveling down interstate, followed by stabilitrack warning and loss of power steering while coming to stop at bottom of interstate off ramp approx. 15 min. Later. 9/12/19 @ 3:45 pm- stabilitrack came on 3X in a row with loss of engin power, all electronics went off, including no window control or screen, came back on when cranked but delay in screen coming on. 9/19/19 @ 3:08 pm-media screen flashed and reset clock to 12:00. 9/19/19 @ 7pm- car died while parking in sam's wholesale parking lot and had to be jumped off. Car will not turn over at all until jumper cables are connected and then it typically cranks right up. New interstate battery was purchased 4/6/18. When we had problems with vehicle last fall this battery was replaced with a new interstate battery on 11/3/18. We haven't had problems with car from that point until August 2019. It did seem to help but I can't afford to replace the car battery every 9 or 10 months. Chevy doesn't seem to know what the problem is or how to fix it.

When traveling at slow speeds, I.e., parking lot or restaurant drive-thru line, and making sharp turns, car stabilitrak warning will flash then loss of power steering and complete loss of power will result. Additionally, the media electronics will shut off and restart periodically. This doesn't necessarily happen at the same time, although, this never happens when I am not having problems with the stabilitrak system. (see previous complaint: 11122704) took car for service at capitol Chevy on 8/30/19. They said no codes were indicated, however, throttle body was dirty and could have an effect on my issue. Throttle body was serviced/cleaned. On Sept. 2, 2019 I had issue with media system and stabilitrak. While traveling southbound on I-85, cruise control set approx. 75 mph, I braked to disengage cruise speed when media system reset. I pulled into my driveway approx. 20 minutes later and while traveling at slow speed and turning in my driveway, the stabilitrak warning came on resulting in loss of power steering. I was nearly at a stop when it happened. Sometimes when the car loses power in these situations it will have to be jumped off to restart. Which happened prior to being serviced on 8/28/19. I read about similar stories on Chevy message boards related to 2015 models,

Vehicle loses braking capability at low speeds, sometimes voltage issues cause stability control error, and even complete loss of engine power and vehicle control (engine shutoff). This has been recurring approximately once per day for two weeks, generally at very low speeds and turning into a parking spot. Typically, ABS engage and power brake assist is lost, which requires more more effort to stop the vehicle. Can also happen in reverse.

1) intermittently when turning vehicle at slow speeds, there is sudden loss of steering and electric power steering violently bouncing the wheel back to neutral position when attempting to steer left or right. There is also sudden loss of electricity, engine turns off, requiring to shift to park and restart engine. This issue usually occurs after rain or after car wash (water entering shark fin antenna) 2) intermittent complete power loss throughout the vehicle (occurs especially after rain - when shark fin antenna gets filled with water) and feels like battery is suddenly completely dead. Sometimes it can not be jump started immediately, and after more than an hour, it may be jump started. 3) water leaking into the front left corner of roof (driver side) after rain - again due to shark fin anternna leak. There are many owners of Chevy Suburban/Tahoe, Silverado, GM truck reporting exactly same problems all over internet and on youtube. This problem still exists after the recent 09/07/2018 recall 18V586000 fix. This recall did not help solve this problem. In many youtube videos people report having fixed this issue by replacing battery positive and ground cables, as well as by removing the sound dampening material trapped under G218 ground on the driver side of dash (people have mentioned about increased resistance across G218 ground).

The 2015 Chevrolet Suburban that I drive power goes out when I am turning into a parking space, making a sharp turn, and try to come to a quick stop. This happens every time I am driving. It also delays to turn off when I am parked. It sounds like it's trying to crank up on a low gas level. Sometimes when I am at a light and try to press on the gas, it stalls like it's trying to get gas.

I received a recall notification from Chevy (recall number 18289) and my vehicle had occasionally experienced some of the listed problems in the recall so I immediately took my car in to be serviced. After the the recall service my car seemed to be fixed, but that only lasted a few days. The problem is back and even worse than before. When turning the steering wheel at low speeds the my car experiences temporary loss of power, the entire electrical system shorts out briefly (radio, display screen, power locks all turn off/on) and the wheel becomes difficult to turn. Since having the recall problem "fixed", in addition to the above still happening, the wheel just loses power steering (very difficult to turn) or locks up without electrical loss and on two separate occasions all of the above has happened and my care stalls mid turn and I have to put my car in park to restart it. I have taken it to the dealer and they want to charge me to diagnose and fix any problems. I have also placed a call to Chevrolet and am waiting on a response. I am concerned and hesitant to drive my vehicle with this safety issue still occurring.

Vehicle was serviced at the local Chevrolet dealership subject to NHTSA recall no: 18V-586 on Friday, September 14, 2018. The next day, 9/15/18, vehicle experienced same problems that were happening prior to being serviced. Specifically, on Saturday(9/15) at approx. 4:30 P.M. cst, while making a rolling right hand turn on green the vehicle lost power steering and lost all power. No one was directly behind me as I stopped in the middle of the city street. I put on the flashers and, after unsuccessfully trying to restart the vehicle in neutral, was able to restart the car while in park. I noticed the battery voltage meter was lower than normal for the remainder of my trip, however, it had returned to normal the next morning. This has been an ongoing problem which started on Aug. 9, 2018. First trip to the Chevy dealership resulted in replacing the F-module. Problems persisted and the next recommendation was to replace the negative battery cable, which was done on 9/10/18. Now, after servicing due to recall, I continue to have the same problem.

While driving all of the power cuts off including power steering. Alternator, oil, fuel, struts, battery X 2 have been changed out in attempt to correct issue. Issue is still present. Local Chevy dealership unable to rectify problem. There have been numerous incidents with potential accidents. There seems to be a power draw on the system, unable to find any kinked or frayed wires. While driving all lighting including gauges dims usually prior to complete vehicle electrical failure. I have a video of electrical dimming, but unable to load on here. Vehicle is labeled as 2015 but manufacture date is 2014, ive noticed there is a recall on 2014 models for electrical chassis failure however my VIN is not encompassed in this recall.

When turning into parking lot today at low speed, electrical system went crazy, screen flashed power steering failure, stabilitrac failure, doors locked and unlocked and engine died. Restarted and was fine driving forward and repeated failures again when turning to park in parking space. It is fortunate this was in a parking lot and not on interstate or other main road or while turning at a traffic light.
