Driver Assist & Collision Avoidance across every Chevrolet Tahoe year
Hello, I has problems driving my car like by brakes braking out of nowhere. There was even a couple times I felt like the car swerved, even though I did not do anything to the steering wheel. Then I found out I had a recall that said not to drive the car because it was dangerous so I parked it in my driveway and I have not driven it for many months as I’ve been getting rental cars. Eventually, I brought it into Antelope Valley Chevrolet and they told me they were going to fix it but then they actually told me that I had to pay around $1000 for a part that I found out later only cost under $100 and takes three minutes to put in. This is apart from Chevrolet and not some knock off from China that I found for under $100 online. So I’m a little upset that I came in for a recall and they’re trying to get me to do a repair for almost $2000. They never even offered me a rental car and they’re threatening me saying that if we don’t move forward with it, they’re gonna charge me $50 a day for storage. I feel like they’re intimidating me to try to make me traded in for a new one, but I am not ready to get a new one. I just want to get my car on the road again.

When driving the dash panel all arrows go to zero, disconnects cruise and just about everything else on your list above.

Our local Chevrolet dealer is George Nahas in the Villages Florida. Please help

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I have had several incidents this past couple months where my forward collision red light indicator will go off for no reason while driving. This literally scares me to brake when I shouldn't have to. Very annoying.

I was driving down highway and saw a wall of cars and brake lights in the distance, so naturally my foot tried to push the brakes. The pedal was hard, and I panicked because my tahoe was not stopping at all! I continued to stomp on brake pedal all the way until my car actually hit 3 vehicles and then the guardrail! My brakes did not work , because if they did then I would have easily prevented this accident!!

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
GM has a known problem with the sensors for the side detection system that are placed outside in the rear of the vehicle. Tires splash water and salt directly on the sensors causing them to short out. This short not only causes the side detection to misreport whether a vehicle is in your blind spot, it also manifests itself with lift gate malfunctions and various other messages displayed on the DIC like Service Park Assist System or Service Trailer Brake. My Tahoe has had all these issues. To date GM has not recalled my Tahoe or any other GM vehicle with this problem. The dealership quoted me $1,700 for the fix and are having trouble sourcing the new sensors since apparently I am not the only one affected. Howabout your agency looking into this and suggesting to GM to man up on this and cover the repair through a recall and a reimbursement for those who paid out of pocket.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE THAT HAD PROGRESSED WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALER (CHEVROLET OF WESLEY CHAPEL, 26922 WESLEY CHAPEL BLVD, WESLEY CHAPEL, FL 33544, (813) 435-3981) PROVIDED A ROAD TEST, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. IN ADDITION, THE BACK UP CAMERA DISPLAYED "SERVICE THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA", BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE, BUT HAD NOT DOCUMENTED ANY INVOICE TO SPECIFY THE DIAGNOSIS OF BOTH FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A PERMANENT REMEDY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
