What 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit owners say
Brakes
When applying the brakes my car doesn't stop 100% of the time. 1 time during highway slow moving traffic, 3 times backing out of my driveway (flat surface), 4 times when on incline/decline of road. When applying brakes, horrible chattering vibration comes from left front tire area, chatter vibration is felt in brake pedal. No matter how hard I apply the brake the car keeps going - it will finally stop, but I almost hit the car in front of me at the one highway occurrence, 2 times car finally stopped just before going over edge of property when pulling forward & backward to turn around in tight area. In each instance I am moving at a very slow speed. I contacted dealership, they told me I wasn't the only one calling about this happening but since I'm over 36,000 warranty they will charge me to ck it out,
Problem started as brakes extremely difficult to activate when traveling in reverse at low speed (I am approx 200 lbs and had to stand on brakes with effort to get vehicle to stop). Problem also appeared in low speed stop and go operation as well as when backing at a moderate speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. We have had at least one other vehicle in our fleet experience this issue. It was determined to be a failed vacuum pump on that vehicle. This vehicle was taken to dealer and they were unable to replicate issue. I understand there is a GM technical bulletin involving this issue but no oil was found in vacuum lines. The vehicle is outside of warranty so there is charges each time we bring vehicle back. I was told to bring vehicle back if problem becomes worse. …
