I live in a fairly arid climate, where rain doesn't occur frequently. A couple of months ago, after my tahoe had been sitting in the rain, I noticed water dripping from the inside door pillar when I opened the door. I just assumed it was water than came in from the outside when I opened the door. Then about nine days ago, while driving in the rain, water began dripping from the top center console area, in a steady stream. When I took it into the chevrolet dealer they said that the seal on the hi-frequency antennae (shark fin antennae), over the driver's side was faulty, and that water was leaking in through it. Since there was not a recall for my VIN, and since rain was predicted to continue for several days, I had no choice but to pay $452.32 to have a new antennae installed. The service department did what they could to dry the area out in between the roof and the ceiling and left the cover off the side driver's airbag so it would dry, telling me to return in a week so they could replace the cover on the airbag. In addition to being out a lot of money, I am concerned about the side airbag possibly malfunctioning after being wet over a period of time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that water entered the vehicle through the roof of the vehicle, and various electrical components malfunctioned after inclement weather. The failures occurred without warning. Richard kay superstore (1935 pearman daily rd, anderson, sc) diagnosed that the antenna assembly and housing were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 36,611.
I was driving down the highway at about 70 MPH and my wife looked in the passenger side mirror and saw the applique on the passenger side door behind the window (where the b pillar is) was loose and flapping in the wind. I had some tape in the vehicle so I pulled to the side, taped it down, and continued driving. I took the vehicle into the chevrolet dealer the next day and they said it is a common problem with the tahoe. The dealer said the design of the applique attachment was poorly done and when they replace them they now use a stronger attachment. The dealer found 2 other appliques loose and recommended replacing them as well before they flew off while driving and possibly causing a safety issue to someone behind my tahoe.
The exterior side panel that separate front and back of tahoe threatens to fly off during driving. It's primarily on highway driving from 50+ miles per hour. It's as if wind is getting under them and its always a concern they are going to fly off. We often are stopping and hitting it back in place. If it come off it will be a $130-180 piece each side and cosmetically ugly for our vehicle and a danger to other motor vehicles as a flying object. Please recall this as we are hearing from dealerships it is a common part coming off of the tahoes. It is a common occurrence. It didn't happen just once.
The liftgate malfunction is both bizarre and dangerous. When opened it proceeds to drop about a foot quickly, enough to create serious head contact. It then proceeds to close without use of sensors, repeatedly pinning the operator against the back of the car. Only with strength and agility did my wife manage to slide out the side. We are thankful that the only damage was a bruise on her leg. It could have been much worse for an older, less agile person. It happens when vehicle is stationary, on or off. The dealer plans to replace the liftgate actuator, but it will be at our expense. Chevy has declined coverage because we are not the original owner, we did not buy it from a chevy dealer and we did not purchase extended warranty coverage. There is no recall outstanding so they have no obligation to help us. Had my wife gone to a doctor for the bruise on her leg chevy's decision would have gone to a different supervisor, but we do not act that way. We are just grateful that she had the wherewithal to escape from a very dangerous situation. I have a video of the problem, but it is not in a format (imov) that can be uploaded here. I will hold on to it.
My tahoe just started to have a vibration issues at speeds for 60 to 75mph the whole cabin shakes and also a wind noise coming from the roof at speeds at 80 MPH or higher my mileage is 21000 I get headaches when driving my chevy tahoe.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the liftgate sensor became inoperable whenever the sensor was touched. On several occasions, the liftgate independently opened or closed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the foot sensor could not be deactivated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The contact wanted the sensor deactivated. The failure mileage was approximately 4,400.
Bad vibration at speeds between 60 to 75 MPH ( gm dealer has had car 3 times and replaced tires, road forced balanced, checked alignment with no success ) ; wind noise and buffeting inside car with all windows in the up position at speeds from 35 MPH and up causing dizziness and nausea on longer rides. Exterior door plastic fascia becomes loose and falls off due to metal clip breaking off at the attachment point.
All 4 pieces of door pillar trim have come off or lose and banging against vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. When the vehicle was pulled to a curb, the plastic wind deflector was placed too low (approximately eight inches from the pavement), making it difficult to pull away from the curb without pulling out the front fender. The failure recurred and the front fender was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 12,702. Updated 01/20/16*lj; updated 04/27/18*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. The contact indicated that the top portion of the cargo window was unleveled and the glass was not secured and could potentially fracture. The passenger side of the cargo window was higher than the driver side and there was an exposed gap. The sun roof also leaked intermittently. The cargo door was welded poorly by the dealer and the trim on the door was deteriorating. The contact also stated that the paint was damaged on the hood and the paint was bubbling near the hinge on the front driver side. The dealer repaired the sun roof, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
