2016 Chevrolet Tahoe UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The sunroof shattered when nothing hit it driving down the road.

Component Failure: AC condenser assembly failed due to thermal cycling cracks in combination transmission fluid/oil cooler design - exact failure documented in GM TSB 17336-05. TSB states "thermal cycling creates a crack that may allow refrigerant to escape." Safety Risk: AC system failure after sun exposure creates dangerous interior temperatures lasting 30-45 minutes with family including two teenagers in 95°F+ NC summer heat. Risk of heat exhaustion/stroke during highway travel where immediate stopping impossible. Dealer Confirmation: Hendrick Chevrolet diagnosed refrigerant leak from upper left condenser on 7/22/25 (Invoice CTCS913252, $1,904.60). Official work order documents identical symptoms and repair operation covered by GM TSB 17336-05 Special Coverage. Manufacturer Knowledge: GM issued TSB 17336-05 acknowledging their combi-cooler design cannot withstand normal thermal cycling, affecting 908,000+ vehicles. GM provides Customer Service Satisfaction Campaign 17336-01 free repairs for this exact defect but denied my reimbursement (Case #72260590) solely due to mileage, claiming manufacturing design defect becomes customer responsibility after 60k miles. Symptoms: Problem began summer 2024 - AC functions normally when parked in shade but requires 30-45 minutes to cool after direct sun exposure, exactly matching TSB heat-soak failure pattern. No warning lights as system retained sufficient refrigerant until complete thermal stress failure.

Air conditioning could cause a safety problem during hot days, forcing the driver to drive with all windows down and still remain very hot and sweaty while driving. The A/C system in this vehicle is so poorly designed that I've spent $6,000 in 8 years of ownership just to keep the A/C running. The primary problem is that is has a separate rear HVAC zone, which requires both high & low side freon lines to run under the length of the vehicle to a rear condenser. These lines are not shielded in any way from being hit by road debris. I'm replacing a leaking rear A/C for the third time at a cost of $1800. These lines should be shielded so they are not getting pelted by rocks and other debris. It's a very bad design that exposes a potential safety issue. When these lines break, it also dumps all of the freon into the atmosphere.

The touch screen glitches. While traveling depending on maps I can't safely drive and follow the screen.

Trailer Brake Wirijg Harness

Vehicles radio changes channels randomly and information system changes functions from radio to handsfree phone, to directional map, to radio again randomly

the paint is failing on the car. i have extensive research on it and it appears this is a big issue over the years 2015-19. there is no recall on this yet. i called the chevy 1(800) number and they told me to file a complaint to you guys.

While braking the engine will try to accelerate. not like normal downshift acceleration. sometimes while my speed is below 5 mph the engine will accelerate to the point that i have to apply extra brake pedal pressure to keep from hitting the car in front of me.

The DIC shows “CAL” and will not allow direction of travel. The navigation system will not re-calibrate after many efforts to do so with instructions from manufacturer.

WENT TO THE DEALER TO FIX MY AC OVER A MONTH AGO WAA TOLD PART NEEDED WAS ON INTERNATIONAL BACK ORDER

HOLE HAS FORMED IN THE CONDENSER WHERE A FAULTY WELD WAS MADE CAUSING ALL FREEON TO LEAK OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STOP WORKING. I AM DISABLED AND HAVE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND GM IS NOT RECALLING THIS PART DUE TO NO SAFETY ISSUES. HOWEVER, FOR ME THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT BE IN A VEHICLE WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING IN MY STATES EXTREME SUMMER TEMPERATURES.

WAS DRIVING TRUCK AT 70MPH ON HIGHWAY, WENT TO CHANGE LANES, WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL. LOST ALL POWER, THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OFF. ENGINE CODE WHEN TAKEN IN TOO DEALERSHIP WAS P00700 AND U0100

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.

THE GPS HAS A X THROUGH IT AND DOES GIVE DIRECTION AT ALL. THE ARROW ON THE MAP IS USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE,

INCREASED BRAKE EFFORT, BRAKES FREEZE UP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND SLOW SPEEDS. PARKING, PARKING LOTS ETC

THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS STOPPED WORKING, THE CONDENSER HAS BLOWN AND IS BEING REPAIRED. GM HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, UP TO 60,000 MILES.. MINE HAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000 MILES, SO IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THIS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS, AS THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL MODELS.

AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AT 44000 MILES.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD.

LEAK AT ANTENNA

THERE IS WATER INTRUSION AT HE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GOING DOWN THE PILLAR. A CALL TO THE DEALER AND ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SHARK ANTENNA LEAKING ON THE ROOF. IT HAPPENED ONLY IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN BRAKING.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY TAHOE LAST YEAR. IT HAS APPROX 47,000 MILES ON IT THIS FAR. THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR. I HAVE PLACE TWO CANS OF REFRIGERATE IN THE SYSTEM IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. I CAN NOT IDENTIFY ANY LEAKS. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE VOICED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES AND REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT IS UNFAIR CONSIDERING I HAVE NOT DAMAGED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AND IS HAVING A/C PROBLEMS. I HAVE KIDS AND LIVE IN A SOUTHERN STATE THAT HAS 100 DEGREE WEATHER IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. I BELIEVE I DESERVE ANSWER AT LEAST!!!!!!

VEHICLE PARKED IN LOT ON 8-18-16. WHEN WE CAME OUT OF STORE, THE TAHOE HAD ROLLED INTO ANOTHER SPOT. TWO CARS WERE DAMAGED. INCIDENT ON TAPE AT THE WALMART STORE. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. TAHOE WAS IN DRIVE. TWO OF US HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE AND COLLECTED SEVERAL SHOPPING CARTS, SO PEOPLE WOULD NOT DAMAGE THEIR VEHICLES. THIRD PERSON EXITED THE VEHICLE. IF LEFT IN DRIVE, (ELECTRIC START) NO BELLS OR ALARMS WENT OFF. DOORS WEREN'T LOCKED AS PERSON IN BACK SEAT WAS ABLE TO EXIT. WE WERE IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. ON VIDEO, THE TAHOE WAS IN ITS SPOT FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFORE ROLLING BACK. MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES.
