2019 Chevrolet Tahoe

This vehicle is owned by the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Department. We are submitting complaints for multiple Tahoe's that have stopped during operation causing extreme danger to our staff and other drivers in the city. The cause is always bad fuel pumps and our units have had to have the pumps replaced in some cases multiple times. 1-26-24 Unit broke down today started after several tries.

WHEN RAIN OF MOISTURE IN AROUND THE VEHICLE, THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON. THE TRANSMISSION PUMP VIBRATION ON LOAD IN LOW SPEEDS, AFM SYTEM DOES NOT ALLOW AVAILBLE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING UPON DOWNSHIFTS. THE ELECTRICAL USB OUTLETS SHORT MAKING DEVICE PROJECTION FEATURE, AT TIME WHILE USING CARCHARGER/CIGARETTE LIGHTER DC OUTLET.

Sudden and unexpected loss of power steering several times. In all cases, the loss of power steering has happened when starting the car. Turning the ignition off and immediately on again did not resolve the issue. Turning the ignition off and letting the car sit for 10 minutes before re-starting the car appeared to resolve the issue. The vehicle has been inspected several times by the service department of Mayer Chevrolet in St. Petersburg, Florida, who has been unable to replicate the issue and therefore has responded that they are unable to resolve the issue. GM has issued a recall for the same issue that has been identified on the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and other related GM vehicles, recognizing there is an issue, but no recall exists for the 2019 Tahoe. Issue continues to happen every few months.
