While driving on the highway at high speeds, 70-80 MPH, steering became extremely difficult for brief periods. Often times it was immediately following actuation of the automatic window switch. It was accompanied with a lot of the loss of electrical power, a flickering control panel, ABS light, stab trak, brake assist, and park assist warnings. A/c would stop, radio would turn off, the dashboard would flicker, then I would have to acknowledge all of the warnings in order to clear the issue. Steering was tough, though controllable, but I question the ability of a less experienced drive to be able to handle the same problem at those speeds. This has happened before at lower speeds, usually while backing up to park. At lower speeds the SUV would cut off completely. At higher speeds, the stall was recoverable, very fortunate in this matter. Unable to get the issue to repeat at the dealership and it is very inconsistent. Usually resets itself once the car is turned off and restarted.

On may 31, 2018 I purchased a 2015 chevy tahoe ltz with 30,000miles that had been traded in at a local ford dealership. Within days of purchasing it, the car began having issues with a stabilitrak warning followed by other erratic computer warnings. In following weeks the car also began having complete power failure at low speeds while turning and continues to have these problems to date. The engine also began smoking in july, caused, as it turns out, by a jammed belt on the air conditioner compressor. This vehicle has had many power failures in parking lots, on streets, the highway tunnel in boston and most recently on labor day weekend when the car stalled in charlestown, ri while slowing down at an intersection. I had no warning flashers or brake lights and the doors would not open. With the help of the local police dept. Who assisted me until the car restarted, I was able to drive it to a local residence. The ford dealership sent a flatbed truck to tow it back to the facility where I purchased it. The dealership continues to return the car to me as it doesn't fail when they drive it due to its erratic nature, and service by several gm dealers they have sent it to have not been able to fix the problems either. I am stunned to learn that this vehicle is not on the recent recall list from gm regarding power steering issues at slow speeds. In a phone call to gm customer assistance on 9/21/18 (case number 8-4650063752) the representative confirmed that my vehicle was not on the list. I trust that by reporting these problems to you gm will be able to resolve this issue and insure my safety and those around me while driving. I appreciate your assistance and would be happy to provide any documentation I have available if requested. Attached are pictures of the vehicle and the id plate from the side of the car.

Our tahoe has had an issue over the past 9 months. The engine unexpectedly stalls. This has happened twice while pulling out on to a busy highway. Very frightening. We first took this to the dealer on 8/15/17. They spent hours trying to diagnose and found nothing. The stalling continued to happen occasionally. Early december the stalling occurred while pulling in to our garage. We lost all power momentarily and it would not restart this time. I disconnected the negative battery cable and then reconnected it and everything worked fine again. We took it back to the dealer on 12/8/17. Iafter researching this more it seems numerous people are having the same issue. Traction control warning comes on when the stall occurs. This time I was more insistent that they fix this and explained my wife was scared to death to drive this. This time the dealer said that they have changed the negative battery cable on other customers vehicles and that has fixed the problem. My reaction was why didn't you tell us this last time and why isn't there a recall? So far this has fixed the problem. I contacted gm and they did not give me a straight answer on this proble. Basically they said we may have had a defective part.
