Tahoe

  • 6,000 miles
I purchased a brand new 2015 Chevy Tahoe and use it here and there. As of now I only have 10,000 miles on it however the tires were balding around 6,000 miles and even maybe before then but I didn't think to take a closer look since it was brand new. Now it is very obvious they need to be replaced and I'm a gentle driver and keep it on smooth roads. After reading all the other complaints I am afraid the side walls will blow out on me or something even worse may happen. While driving the car shakes and pulls as it feels the alignment is off due to poor tires. I am not sure if the dealership would be responsible for replacing them or Goodyear assurance fuel max (my brand of tires). I am surprised there hasn't been a recall this far as the issues are very apparent and quite dangerous. If there is info on what an owner needs to do in order to get the defective tires replaced where would one find that listed or who do they contact and/or will they be contacted after writing a complaint? not only does the car pull excessively but it makes a loud clicking noise when turning and sounds like it is directly from the wheels/tires, it doesn't hold up well in rain or snow due to lack of tire tread and the tire pressure is constantly decreasing no matter how many times I put air in so it's at the correct psi and every month, minus the first couple months I had the car, the onstar diagnostic review always shows the psi as being significantly low. I just don't want to find myself in a bad situation like something a lot worse than having my car just pull me into the other lane on a major highway aka have the sidewills completely blow out while on a highway and having only 10K miles on it this shouldn't be a concern. A quality tire should last for years and tens of thousands of miles before the tread is completely worn down.

Tahoe

  • 600 miles
4th and most dangerous of 4 incidents in 3 weeks of ownership of 2015 Chevy Tahoe lt. Without driver instruction or interference the 2015 Tahoe shifted itself into 4WD despite dial on 2wd. Steering difficult, car jerked, engine revved differently and trouble in reverse. No warning signals on display and I didn't know what was happening. Drove.5 mi., pulled over restarted, and then "4 wheel drive, dismiss" on display over steering wheel (no seat vibration, flashing lights as with lane drifting). Tried to "undismiss", consulted manual and ensured dial was in 2wd. Cut ignition off, restarted, same light. Test drove another 1 mi. To see if warning display malfunction...car jerked and steering as if non-power steering. Called dealership (rick hendrick's city Chevrolet, charlotte, nc) and svs tech had never heard of such an issue and consulted other techs (on hold 15 min). Finally svs mgr said car unsafe to drive but to drive it home 'slowly" and they would tow to dealership and get me a loaner. Svs mgr, on 3rd phone call after I threatened to notify ntsb, said he was calling a GM "program mgr" to see about my car's "dangerous issue". after the car rolled when ignition turned off (radio and dash lights off too) and it hit a dumpster B/C we had not put it in park, yet ignition still turned off (luckily no one hurt but significant paint damage), key fob wouldn't program seats/mirrors, mylink wouldn't pair to my phone and now to learn there is a recall for rolling B/C car shifts into neutral? I am still driving loaner, no word from svs mgr, I refuse to drive the car again and gsm said I'd have to go to GM direct for a "buy back". the 1-800-222-1020# he gave me useless). Help!
