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).

Water leak inside cabin. Water build up in driver side floor board, either coming from on star/shark fin antenna, can trace water leak up under the dashboard to where all the electrical wirings are. Lost on star and GPS service due to this. Random dash light and interior light flickering. Two incidents so far where vehicle shuts off while driving. One on nearby street and other on the highway. Lost steering and braking ability. No electricity so could not turn on hazard lights to alert other drivers around me.

All of the window pillars have broken and/or come loose, dues to a manufacturing problem with the clips used. The roof rack rail also flies up while your driving and smacks the roof because of the faulty clips. I also noticed a water leak on the headliner (see attached picture) after it had rained one day. My suburban was parked outside and I noticed the leak when I got into the car. My seat belts were also wet from the leak. This seems to be a common occurrence and issue with other 2015 suburban owners and is a safety hazard, especially if the wiring sits in the water. I had taken it in to a chevy dealer to get it checked out, but I will have to pay to replace everything needed. If these issues are manufacturing errors and such a common occurrence, why should I have to pay to fix them? And more importantly, why is there no recall on them?

I purchased a brand new 2015 chevrolet suburban lt on december 20, 2014 and by december 23, 2014, there was a major water leak about the driver visor and headliner and equipment failures. I noticed that the GPS, compass, onstar and mylink were no longer working. As of december 31, 2014, I still do not have my suburban back and I have been told that part is not available in the us.
