2015 Chevrolet Tahoe suspension problems

Filed Apr 20, 2025 · Suspension · CA

I have a 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ I bought used 10/12/2024 with 100,000 miles on it. I purchased it from a family member that took great care of it. Always garaged and kept up with all the maintenance's regularly. In March of 2025, we noticed how uncomfortable and terribly bumpy it was riding. I looked it up and discovered that many people with this "Magnetic Ride Control" installed on many other vehicles had to replace them. I thought for sure this would have a recall. And to my disappointment, it was not a recall. I had to pay over $3000 dollars to repair this, which I don't have. Can you please look into this and make the manufacture or someone accountable for such a terrible design. Thank you bumpy it was riding.

Air ride suspension going out, shocks leaking. Do not have stability of car.

Front shocks failed 2 years ago. Rear shocks just failed last week. Both of these failures affect the vehicle handling. The vehicle was inspected and failures confirmed by an independent service center. Both front and rear shocks had to be replaced. The complexity of the parts and system make these repairs costly. It cost thousands of dollars for each repair. It is a $70K vehicle and was manufactured in 2015. These should not be failing so quickly. And the repair shop said this is a know issue with the Tahoe of those model years but there is not an active recall. Someone needs to investigate how many of these Tahoes have had to have the shocks replaced.

The 2015 Tahoe LZ is experiencing harsh ride due to the failure of the factory Air Ride system. This may have been a good idea, but it will not stand up under normal road conditions. There is no recall for this problem. Shocks leak or are bound up (frozen in place) causing bumps to be transmitted to the vehicle body. I have changed tires and the problem is still there. I have driven GM vehicles all my life (70+years) and this is the most trouble I have ever experienced with suspension components of all the GM vehicles I've owned, starting with a 1955 vehicle. A local dealer priced the repair at around $5000.00. I drove a 1983 Suburban for over 300,000 miles and never had any suspension problems, (except for normal brake wear). There seems to be a lot of owners of this vintage vehicle that have experienced this problem. Whether this is a computer problem or poor workmanship, General Motors needs to REPAIR their self-inflected problem. I worked as a line mechanic for a GM dealership in the early 80's. We never had this kind of problems before computers started to be installed on vehicles.

My magna ride suspension has completely gone out. The front and rear are sagging with no suspension travel at all. According to Google, every Chevrolet and GMC with this suspension has the same issue. Cost $3000 to repair.

2015 Tahoe with a very stiff ride. ASE certified mechanic who uses OEM parts says front struts and rear shocks are frozen and have to be replaced. Cost is $3600 and he says all parts are on backorder as this is a common failure. The ride is so firm that the car leaves the ground when riding over bumpy roads.

I own a 2015 chevy tahoe ltz which I bought less than a year ago and after several months I noticed that it handles bumps poorly and does a lot of bouncing. When I had new tires put on the service tech mentioned how poorly it drives and said the struts would need replacing on the front for sure and eventually on the back as well. I received my first quote at $2200 just for the front which is insane so I decided to do a little research and quickly found it this is a very common problem for this vehicle. I am very displeased with finding out this information for spending the amount of money I did on this luxury vehicle. I've price shopped around and have not found anything any cheaper. I am also worried if I let it go for too long what could potentially happen and will it lessen the life of the very expensive brand new tires I just put on. This is ridiculous and chevrolet/gm needs to do something to make this right.

The shocks/struts began leaking and are faulty. They needed to be replaced. The cost of the repair was over $3,000 because they are a special type. The garage that did the work said he talked to other dealers/garages and those are well known for going bad on the 2015 tahoe. A $70,000 vehicle should not need shocks/struts replaced within 5 years. And this vehicle has 15 recalls already. Can't this be classified as a lemon or something? This is ridiculous. And waste of my time and money to get all this stuff fixed. Thank you.
