Purchased a 2015 suburban new from jim ellis chevrolet. At about year 3 of ownership, just after warranty expiration, I noticed moisture in drivers side headlight assembly. About a year later the blinker stopped working. The only way to repair it is to install an entire new assembly. The part is $1,200 alone. The is not a warranty issue, but a defect that chevy will not address or admit. It is also a major safety issue. Additionally, the paint on the hood and roof started failing at about year 4. Again, another defect. Chevrolet will not address either of them. One is a safety issue, the other cosmetic. Very frustrated.

On very random but numerous occasions beginning years ago, the liftgate will it will close on its own or it will not open at all. The liftgate is either opened remotely by key fob, interior button or by using the button on the liftgate handle. As the liftgate opens to it's open position, it has on some occasions sounded the warning signal indicating the liftgate is closing while loading or unloading items and on other occasions the liftgate automatically closes on its own, very abruptly, without any warning signal. Both types of instances have occurred while being under the liftgate causing me to be struck and hurt. Recently (aug '20), it occurred while having my tire changed by a service provider who was also struck. I have looked into this concern online and have noticed quite a few complaints by 2015 gm owners over this same issue. I also found that there were 17 bulletins in 18 months from april 2014- oct 2015 regarding liftgate issues for this same year model, including a recall that was mentioned on a gm forum (recall #14300????). This is a tragedy waiting to happen to someone if it hasn't already! The liftgate is very heavy and the first time it fell on me, it did leave abrasions and contusions. I was 125 lbs. Someone half my weight would never withstand that impact! I would never have anyone else go near this liftgate to load/unload my vehicle as it is a serious liability! Please do something about this! All occurrences obviously happened while the vehicle was stationery, at times with the car idoling in the parked position but mostly after the engine was turned off. The ground level didn't seem to affect it one way or another. It has happened on flat ground and on a slopes driveway. ***please note I have 2 videos from the most recent occurrence (9/20/20) that I am not able to attach but will provide.if necessary***

While driving above 70 MPH, the vehicle begins to have vibrations. Have taken our suburban in for multiple repairs but their reasoning was the vehicle and tires were not balanced however after replacing the tires and getting a road forced balance it did not resolve the issue. It does not feel safe to drive above 70mph.

When driving on the highway, the door locks will unlock by themselves. Sometimes all of the doors unlock, sometimes just one or two doors. We have heard the sound of unlocking doors several times in the past as we drove. On august 22, we heard the unlocking sound, and then observed the doors unlocking. After relocking the doors, the incident happened several more times. This can be very dangerous!
