Service Brakes ODI 11445750 12/31/2021

The trailer brake system alert is going off twice in a row every 45 seconds to one minute. The chiming is highly distracting while driving and seems to be a wiring issue.

Service Brakes ODI 10938903 12/31/2016

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 GOI…

Power Train ODI 11499573 12/30/2022

At 123,000 miles the torque converter failed and caused a cascading failure through the transmission leaving me stranded in traffic. Vehicle towed to Phoenix Transmission in Weatherford. 5k later I have a new UPGRADED transmission with a warranty. Owner says they get about one a month in with the same issue.

Fuel/propulsion System ODI 11499577 12/30/2022

Came home and could smell gas. Had just filled up so ignored it. Next day, just pulling into driveway, husband could see gas pouring out the bottom below the drivers seat area.. fuel line split. Had to have it towed to dealership and paid nearly a grand to get that repaired. Warranty wouldn’t cover it..

Electrical System ODI 11291972 12/30/2019

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. NOT A FUSE, IT'S A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE LIGHT ITSELF.

Questions

FAQ

Is the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe reliable?

Owners have filed 663 safety complaints with NHTSA for the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, most often about service brakes. Compare the complaint counts across model years above — a year with far more complaints than the model's average is the strongest 'avoid' signal in public data.

Which Chevrolet Tahoe years should I avoid?

The rule of thumb used by analysts: a model year whose complaint count is well above the model's own average (we flag 2× or more) usually had a real manufacturing or design problem — not just noisy reporting. Use the year-by-year strip on this page.

Where do these complaints come from?

Directly from NHTSA, the US government road-safety agency. Any owner can file a Vehicle Owner Questionnaire; NHTSA publishes them as public domain data. We cache each lookup for up to 7 days.

Do complaints mean a recall is coming?

Sometimes. NHTSA opens defect investigations when complaint patterns emerge, and investigations can end in recalls. Check the recalls page for this vehicle to see what has already been recalled.
