Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
It started with a glitch with the radio/navigation system flashing back and forth and not working. The cooling fan on the vehicle would run for about 10 minutes. The blind spot warning would blink on and off and there was no one else on the road. Then two days later the check engine light came on for about 5 days. Then three days later there was a loss of battery power and the indication light came on stating the car was in battery save mode. Then two days later the power steering system was lost on the highway and all the warning lights on the dash were flashing. The car stalled and refused to start. The tow truck driver tried to jump the vehicle with a battery pack that would jump a diesel and he only got enough power to put the car in neutral.
The transmission started shifting hard in second gear and also whines at higher RPMs. The code it’s throwing is a Torque Converter Clutch issue. We were put in danger because it almost stalled on the highway. It has been inspected by a mechanic. There were no warnings prior to the failure.

There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle stalled in traffic and the Police arrived to direct the traffic while waiting for the tow truck to arrive and tow the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

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.
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet suburban. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the engine stalled. The anti-theft deterrent warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The vehicle had approximately 3500 miles when returned to dealership. The primary issue was "running rough." the vehicle was in the repair shop over five weeks. In three incidents picked up the vehicle when it was supposedly fine. Within minutes the cecile stalled and starting to shutter. Warning indicators include engine and transmission system, emission system, stabilitrack stability control system, and antilock braking system. Vehicle unsafe to drive. The 2015 suburban was newly designed. Repair bulletins were issued. Vehicle recently picked up and still "runs rough." the vehicle handles differently as it shifts from v4 to v8 (fuel economy design) when slowing. This makes the vehicle handling inconsistent depending what mode it is operating and can be unsafe. Other potential safety issues when raining, the rear camera (backup) is not functional. Also, when starting in reverse, there is an extended period the "computer is loading" and their is no input although your backing up. In essence, the rear backup warning system is not functional.
The vehicle completely stalls and loses all power. It usually happens when you run the vehicle on the highway and have to come to a stop after exiting. In my case I drove the vehicle for an hour and half and exited the express way. Once, I exited and slowed down to come to a complete stop the engine starts to run rough and just before you completely stop it stalls out. This has happened at least sevne times on a 1400 mile trip. It even happens when you come to a stop behind other cars. You can put it in park or neutral and the vehicle will restart.
