Gps antenna leaked while parked in rain. Saturated head liner, steering wheel, and driver seat. Water puddled in driver floor mat. Gps signal lost until things dried out. Also has impacted collision avoidance system. Has happened several times in last 2 months. Problem is intermittent because vehicle is garaged most times. Doesn't occur while driving during rain, only when vehicle is parked and water can stream in through gap on backside of antenna and enter the defective inner seal. I have seen many accounts of this on forums. Gm needs to conduct a recall on this problem.

Hi im writing again to report on 2016 chevy tahoe vacumm asst failure / defective parts the tahoe had at the time of the crash 40,475! I had just picked up my vehicle from service at jack schmitt chevrolet for unrelated issue I was 2 miles from the dealership heading southbound on green mount rd. Approaching a stop light I was slowing down coming up to the light when spider fell between my legs so I attempted to kill it at the same time the collision alert activated and I immediately hit the brakes but the pedal was hard and the SUV was not stopping like I thought it should so I started making evasive action to avoid rear ending the car at the light. I pulled the steering wheel all the way to the right but the SUV kept moving not slowing as it should have and hit rear passenger side back oh the car in front of me causing nominal damage to both vehicles about 12,000 for the tahoe which I got repaired so I chalk it up as my fault but I kept noticing the SUV on several occasions seemed like it was still moving when it should stopped. Months passed and I was looking up possible causes and on a web site a complaint made by somebody who's tahoe was doing the same thing that's when I filed a claim with chevy/gm somewhere around june 20 2018 and spoke monique hill who took my report and months later denied my claim and in the same letter said get your vacum asst serviced and I thought that was strange! Anyway I did get it serviced at jack schmitt chevy in ofallon il 6186252800 and was told the vacuum assist was defective and they had to order the parts to repair also they had to give me a car rental because the 2016 chevy tahoe was unsafe for the road and that would be held liable if they let me take it and I'm pissed at that point all this time I could have been killed! I was hurt and hurt for about a year sure back and neck and they just denied denied denied! Please help

Was involved in a auto accident in sept 2017 in which I rear ended another vehicle.I was traveling southbound on greenmount road in shiloh il. Coming to a stop at a stoplight at about 30 MPH, I was trying to kill a spider so my eyes were off the road but when the collision alert alarm sounded I immedietly hit the brakes which were hard making braking difficult there is no way an impact should have happended. When the collision alert alarm sounds the brake pedals became hard making the stopping of the chevy tahoe impossible so I could not avoid rear ending of the vehicle in front of me. Now while driving the tahoe without the collision alert activated the SUV stops like normal, only when the collision alert is activated does the hard brake pedals occur which to me is the opposite effect.

My 2016 chevrolet tahoe ltz displayed "service front camera" when I got into the vehicle but didn't even start it yet. ( see pic) . I took it to the dealership they looked at it and told me yes its a known issue but gm has no repair procedure yet for it.the vehicle has 89 miles on it, have only had the vehicle for a couple of days. The windshield is perfectly clean and no obstructions of the front camera. The dealership said I will have to live with it until they have a fix for it. The problem is that the front camera runs most of the highly touted saftey features such as the, fca forward collision alert, lane deviation alert, ebs emergency braking system, and on and on...... So now the $70k+ vehicle that was hyped up to be sooo safe for my family now has most of the saftey features non -functioning and gm knew about this and still continues to sell the vehicle and wont repair. There are also many other electrical issues with this vehicle, but will notify in different report. This is terrible for a vehicle of this caliber. Im a loyal and dedicated past tahoe owner but this one may be going back. Im appalled that gm is letting vehicles continue to be sold with known saftey issues especially since they just got caught with the whole ignition switch fiasco.
