So I got a 2015 Chevy Tahoe that had recalls done but the problems are still there. The power steering works like every 10th time starting the suv.
2015 Chevrolet Tahoe steering complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 70, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at a slow speed and while making a left turn into traffic, the power steering assist malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn, causing the vehicle to erroneously drive into a busy intersection. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.
Car died with no dash warning. Had battery and alternator checked, battery checked out perfectly fine but alternator needed replacing. Replaced brand new alternator. After replacing, message came up “power steering drive with care”. Steering went completely hard, no other messages or absolutely any lights on dash. Unable to drive due to car steering wheel being locked. The contact has stated that the dealership confirmed the recall and that this issue is common, yet they have not found anything wrong with the vehicle.
While driving home from corner store, power steering locked up with very little play left or right. My vehicle is undrivable and parked at this time until I figure out what to do. I understand that gm issued a recall for such safety issues in 2018. I just brought my vehicle a year or so ago. Please advise, thanks.
On several occasions at various speeds, both driving straight and turning, my 2015 Chevy Tahoe has turned off. During higher speeds the SUV will turn back on, instantly, by itself but during lower speeds and turning the car has to be manual turned back on by switching into neutral, pressing the break, and pushing the start button. The most recent time this has happened, it was dark outside and I was turning. I lost everything including my head and tail lights so it was hard for oncoming traffic to see me. I also almost hit someone coming in the other lane because I was unable to fully turn due to the loss of power steering. After this happens, I get many warning/action required messages across the dashboard but no check engine light or code have come up. I will be taking it to the dealer but since it does not happen every time the care is driven, I can only hope they can experience what happens.
Complete loss of electronic power steering. My children safety along with my own was put at risk. This problem was supposedly repaired by Courtesy Chevrolet of Ruston,LA July 2021.
Six days ago my 2015 Chevy Tahoe had a sudden loss of power steering assist while driving down the road after having to come to a sudden stop. The sudden loss and stop required me to jar to the R side of the road. Later in the evening while driving home from work, suddenly my power steering began to work again - causing the steering wheel to have a lot of "play" in the turning of the wheel. This sudden loss and sudden return of power steering has increased since the first incident and happens more often than not. Every time the loss or return happen to the steering, I feel like I lose control of the vehicle to an extent depending on the speed of the vehicle. I am a single mom with two little children who are constantly with me in our vehicle which concerns me for all of our safety. I have done my due diligence on contacting the local Chevy dealership, GM and even the better business bureau due to not being able to get to the bottom of this and continuously being told there's no recall connected to my VIN. There was a recall previously for the Power Steering Assist Motor Kit in 2015 Chevy Tahoes. According to GM which I contacted today, my vehicle was a part of this recall and the assist motor kid was "fixed" which is why there are no current recalls on my VIN. We were told there was a 12 thousand mile warranty that was placed on this new Assist motor kit however, the same issue is now happening again. In the initial recall, chevy was told that dealers are to replace power steering assist motor kit due to increased risk of crash. Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to the recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle or ownership from this time forward. The fact that I am having the same issue with the assist motor after its already been "replaced" is quite concerning for me, my children and quite frankly other bystanders or other drivers with the increased risk of an MVA. I had an auto body shop diagnose the issue with the same resu
Power steering assist, ABS and skid control failed all at once during travel. Also emergency brake light lit up along with these other warnings. Hard to steer. The vehicle has not yet been inspected. Scheduling that now. All dash warning lights lit up along with warning messages just as the failures occurred. Upon restarting the vehicle the failures reset to normal operation. NOTE: The vehicle had been running and idling in very hot temps ~101
The steering locks up while turning. Also grinds most of the time. The steering shaft retainer in the column fails and allows the shaft bolt to rub on the lower end of the column. Has tsb PIT5312-B. But gm will not cover this. This is a huge safety concern.
I bought the tahoe from a buy here pay here Its a salvage car from the action The guy who sold it to me said he would fix and never did I took it in to a shop because i almost recked and the transmission i think messed up because of the brakes and steering There is also another car he sold that my friend bought for me to fix because the guy sold it with out airbags
Vehicle has shut down twice while turning. When action happens the stability controls are turned off, parking assistance is turned off. All lights on dash flash. With this vehicle having electronic steering, I have no control of this vehicle when it shuts down while driving. Dealer could not reproduce actions to diagnose, but informed me to return if it was to happen again.
2015 Chevrolet Tahoe: The battery indicator goes below the midpoint, then there are different alerts on the dashboard, i.e. stabilitrak, brake assist, battery/power saver, park assist, etc. The a/c all of sudden blows hard with a display blink off, the steering wheel also gets hard to steer and then the vehicle cuts off on its own. The vehicle cutting off has happened mostly when we're trying to park and turning at slow speeds; however, it did happen once while we were stopped at a light and trying to turn into the turning lane and it shut off. The risk is a car accident causing bodily harm and/or property damage. I see recalls for the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe for this same issue, but unfortunately for whatever reason, my particular VIN was not included.
I was on my way home from work, driving 70-75mph and out of nowhere, my power steering stopped working. I pulled over the best I could and called my boyfriend to come and get me. I cannot drive the vehicle because the steering wheel has to be forced and it is very difficult to move. I have read about two recalls regarding power steering. Recall 14743- Replace the power steering assist motor kit. My Tahoe has never had the motor kit replaced. Recall 18289- Update the EPS software. This was done in May of 2019. I have addressed this issue with my dealership with no help. This is going to cost a fortune to fix and this should be covered under the recalls. The power steering is a known issue with GM and this issue almost caused me to get into a crash.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that upon his wife starting the vehicle, the "Service Power Steering" warning light illuminated. The contact's wife informed him that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact then called a dealer who informed him that his vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V586000 (STEERING). The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.
When I hit a bump the steering locks up for a quick second and all the warning lights flash quickly. The doors lock as well. It is usually when I hit a bump on the passenger side area. Voltage meter flickers and headlights dim.
During a low speed left turn across oncoming lanes of traffic, my 2015 tahoe had a complete loss of all power and stopped right in the middle of oncoming traffic. Luckily oncoming traffic was at a distance that they were able to notice my tahoe had died blocking their lanes, and they corrected their path to go around. We could have been injured at the least if oncoming traffic had not noticed that our vehicle died. I purchased this tahoe used 3 weeks ago and this has happened 5 times since. After investigating on the internet I located post saying this issue has affected over 1 million other 2015 tahoes.
In 2018 I bought this 2015 chevrolet tahoe.and like one month after I start having problems. The power steering stop working while I was driving causing the steering wheel be hard to turn.I took the tahoe to the place where I bought it.they didn't take responsability the thing is I end paying near of $3.000 to fixit I have receipt.my question is the tahoe has a recall for power steering. Is there any way to get my money back?.thanks
Clicking /popping noise when turning left and or right at low speeds
Loud popping noise from center of steering wheel. Repaired twice already. Problem keeps coming back. Steering is very hard at times. Especially at lower speeds. It feels like a 65 chevy truck with no power steering. It's scary at times.
Tl* the contact called on behalf of her son who was the vehicle owner/driver of a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. While driving at approximately 45-50 MPH, the vehicle crashed into a tree. The contact was concerned that the collison may have been related to existing recalls on the vehicle. The driver was fatally injured. The contact was the mother of the driver. The contact stated that while her son was driving between 45-50 MPH, he lost control of the vehicle, jumping a curb, and crashed into a tree. During the crash the air bags did deploy but the driver was not wearing a seat belt. The driver was fatally injured during the crash and sustained two broken legs. The contact stated that based on the police and ems reports received, the middle console had been ripped off by the driver during the incident in an attempt to brace himself for the collision. The report also mentioned that no tire skid marks were present at the scene. The vehicle was destroyed and towed from the scene. The contact stated that the event data recorder (edr) was destroyed. As a result, the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The contact discovered that the VIN was later included in nhsta campaign numbers: 18v586000 (steering) and 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 50,000.
When turning on the brights on my 2015 chevytahoe the dash screen will flash on and off, as well as shut off the cruise control when on. In addition, the stabilitrak will flash an error message. In addition to all of this the headlights flash while driving. At night this is very scary and harmful. These electrical issues need to be corrected!
I have a 2015 chevy tahoe.it has put my family in harms way a dozen times in the last 3 months.the vehicle shows a "stabilitrak" warning..then the steering wheel locks,the engine and all electrical shuts down,and you loose complete control over the vehicle at highway speeds.it has almost killed us.gm and our local chevy dealership are doing nothing about it.the chevy mechanics keep telling us there is nothing wrong with it.we are honeslty afraid the vehicle is going to kill us or someone else.
Total strut failure at 58k miles; making car hard to maneuver. Dealership wants $1900 to fix the mag ride suspension, no powertrain coverage at all for this issue. Also, a bearing in the steering column has failed and there is no warranty coverage from that either.
Power steering went out while driving and gm won't replace under other power steering recalls had to pay 3k to fix, also steering assist out as well and won't fix unless paid for.
When turning the wheels or backing up there is a popping noise that sounds like it is coming from the front left and right wheels and you can hear it and feel it in the steering wheel
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. While driving 25 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the precaution hydraulic system warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact was able to park the vehicle in a parking lot. The vehicle was taken to autonation chevrolet doral (located at 1201 nw 89th ct, suite a, miami, fl 33172, (786) 221-5786) where the failure was associated with the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v578000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 36,696.
While driving suspension system allows car to bounce badly, as if all shocks are not working, ltz model has mag ride active suspension. This problem is found to be common on 2015 tahoe and suburbans. Many forums on web have reports of this system failure at low milage. My tahoe was purchased new and has only 71k miles, no collisions or accidents. All maintained ce performed as needed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that there was an abnormal clicking noise when the steering wheel was turned in either direction. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v586000 (steering), but exhibited the same failure listed in the recall. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.
Vehicle randomly loses steering control and flashes warning lights. At times, xm radio will not play. At one time, vehicle shut off and would not resart for approximately 10 seconds. Occasionally, the warning lights flash when making an adjustment like changing to bright lights or activating the turn signal. Left turn signal disengages cruise when activated. Gm has updated the software twice due to service over the above complaints. Fixes problem for short amount of time.
