THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OXIDIZING. IT IS ROUGH TO THE TOUCH, PATCHY, AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN. WE NOTICED IT DETERIORATING WHEN WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PAINT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AS I AM FINDING IN MY RESEARCH OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL. PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN BODY WORK HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR AND COLOR.

MY TAHOE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE OVER THE RPM AND WON'T SWITCH GEARS OR SPEED UNLESS I LET GO OF THE GAS TO BRING THE RPM DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE AS IF SOMETHING JUST POPPED OR BROKE AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. CAR IS ALSO VIBRATING/SHAKING WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. LASTLY, HEAT COMES OUT OF THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE SYSTEM IS OFF. THE CIRCULATION IS ALWAYS ON AND THE HIGHER THE SPEED (MAINLY HIGHWAY) THE MORE THE HEAT COMES OUT.

Oct 24, 2019

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.
