2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while attempting to have the vehicle inspected, it was discovered that the catalytic converter was missing, the wires were cut, and a pipe was inserted to muffle the noise. The contact was told that the check engine warning light was turned off and the carbon monoxide was not being cleaned, and that fumes were entering the cabin of the vehicle. The contact also discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy on the vehicle. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 131,000 and at the time of the inspection, it was discovered that the mileage was approximately 231,000.

Mileage: 231,000

First, Side Detection System warning light would come on, then all dashboard gauges would fail and go to position as if the car war turned off, doors and windows would not unlock or open, series of warning messages would pop up as if all systems were malfunctioning. Car would still drive but if you turn the engine off all electrical systems would stay on for a extended period of time. Vehicle would not start, even with a jump start. After sitting for 12 hours, would start again and repeat shutdown after running for about 3-5 minutes.

While driving approximately 70 miles an hour and trying to switch lanes, we got a stabilitrack warning and the car shut off for a second and then came back on. the weather was nice and there was no snow or any other adverse conditions. This happened a couple more times on the ride and then when we tried to turn into a parking spot it shut off completely and we had to restart it. We turned stabilitrack off and the car was ok for a couple of short drives. Then driving late at late and we passed another car the same thing happened. Then when we tried to turn our brights on we got the same message. Then we got a brake assist message and then we got a collision alert. The headlights were flickering the rest of the drive and we couldnt use our brights. We had our 4 children in the car and it was shutting down at high speeds and very scary. I looked up our vin and it said that the recalls had been worked on but I dont remember this being done. This has never happended before this. our car would be available for inspection if needed.

Vehicle lost power steering turning a tight left into a parking space at a low speed on 5/18/2024. A second later, the engine and all electrical in the vehicle went dead. The steering locked and nothing electrical in the vehicle was functional. Based on the online information and comments found, this is a significant problem with the 2015 Suburban. The GMC recall number is 14743. The recall was for replacement of the power steering assist motor kit. When I look up my vehicle on the recall listing there are no recalls for my vehicle. There is an obvious problem which is effecting these vehicles and dealers shouldn't question the safety implications of steering and engine failure while the vehicle is moving.

It started with a glitch with the radio/navigation system flashing back and forth and not working. The cooling fan on the vehicle would run for about 10 minutes. The blind spot warning would blink on and off and there was no one else on the road. Then two days later the check engine light came on for about 5 days. Then three days later there was a loss of battery power and the indication light came on stating the car was in battery save mode. Then two days later the power steering system was lost on the highway and all the warning lights on the dash were flashing. The car stalled and refused to start. The tow truck driver tried to jump the vehicle with a battery pack that would jump a diesel and he only got enough power to put the car in neutral.

Wireless charger built into center console malfunctioned and wires melted causing smoke to fill the car, armrest felt hot to touch.

Side detection module smoking causing dash malfunction and electrical issues

The power steering locks up at random times while I am driving my vehicle. It seems to be temporary loss of power steering because it eventually starts working again. It feels almost impossible to turn the car when this happens. I searched online and found there had been a recall on the EPS (Electric Power Steering) for this exact issue. I called the local dealership, they told me after searching my vin that the recall had already taken place in 2019. The repair or recall that was done did not fix the problem.

Vehicle loses power steering when turning at slow speeds which was part of a recall from 2018. Reflashing the module didn't fix the issue and has been doing it again for a year now except that now it occasionally loses power as well and has twice lost power while I was turning and oncoming traffic coming at me. GM is saying it is not the same issue as the prior recall, but I disagree and that the work done prior didn't fix the safety hazard. An 8 year old vehicle shouldn't be losing power while driving to where the battery cables have to all be replaced. That should have been the work GM did back when they first put out the recall for the loss of power steering.

Trailer Brake System Continuous Alerts.

So my 2015 when I’m slow drive 5mph give it take the steering wheel locks up parking assist lights come on my ac turns off and my screen shuts down

When turning at speeds below 20 mph, motor stops lights go out, lights and gauges will come back on and car can be started. This has happened two or three times over the last three months but now only five days apart.

The service trailer brake system error keeps coming up on my vehicle.

The Service Trailer Brake System keeps popping up. Keeps dinging off and on whether you push the dismiss button or not. When this is on I question if the electrical brakes will work when I tow our camper. It is very distracting while driving. Safety Concern for sure!

The system that is failing is on my Suburban is the Trailer Break System, yes it is available for inspection. The continuous alert is distracting to the point of the vehicle being un-drivable and without the trailer break system functioning properly it puts people in danger due to not being able to safely stop while towing. The dealership said they were unable to reproduce the code. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone except the dealership. Yes, both a visual and audible alert pops up continuously with a loud “ding” and a “Service Trailer Break System” warning.

AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING I GET LOSS OF STEERING, SERVICE STABILATRAK AND SERVICE PARK ASSIST AS WELL AS TRUCK DIES AND I LOSE THE RADIO.

Mileage: 59,000

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH 2020, HAVE HAD 4 INSTANCES OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. HAVE READ THAT STEERING ASSIST RECALL WAS DONE, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS DOING, LOW SPEED AND MAKING A TURN. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR HAVE OTHERS EXPERIENCED SAME? DATE IS LAST TIME BUT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4X S NOW SINCE LAST SUMMER.

A/C HAS BEEN OUT FOR OVER 2 YEARS. BOUGHT THIS PIECE OF CRAP IN 2016 AND A/C HAS ONLY WORKED FOR 1 YEAR. CAN NOT AFFORD REPAIRS DUE TO HAVING 2 KIDS IN COLLEGE AND STILL TRYING TO LIVE IN CA. I HAVE A 2009 DODGE DURANGO THAT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!! A/C HAD NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS. CALLED CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND NO HELP AT ALL FROM THE DEALER!!! WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVROLET AGAIN IN MY LIFE!!!!!

VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES / STARTING SETS UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKING, AND WARNING CRASH STARTED ALERTING RANDOMLY. HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NOTICED OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. FEEL LIKE A DEDUCTIBLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH 67000 MILES 2015 FROM TOWER AUTO MALL , NEVER REALIZED THAT ENGINE HOURS IN MY CAR , CAR HAD 6700 HRS WITH THE PURCHASED , YOU NEVER KNEW , BUT WHEN I PURCHASED MY NEW CAR I ALREADY HAVE 40000 AND ONLY 1000 HRS ENGINE THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED , PLUS MY CAR HAD TONS OF PROBLEM AND SOUNDS VER OLD WHEN REACH 200000

I CONTINUE TO HAVE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 CHEVY SUBURBAN. THE PROBLEMS CONSIST OF ELECTRONICS RESETTING/FLASHING OR TURNING OFF AND STAYING OFF, SPECIFICALLY, MEDIA SYSTEM, WINDOW CONTROL. MANY TIMES THIS OCCURS AT A SIMILAR TIME TO THE STABILITRACK WARNING SYSTEM COMING ON AND LOSING POWER STEERING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER THE VEHICLE WILL NOT CRANK WITHOUT BEING JUMPED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AT CAPTIOL CHEVROLET IN MONTGOMERY FOR THESE ISSUES ON 8/27/19-8/30/19. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE FOUND, HOWEVER, IT WAS RECOMMENDED WE SERVICE THE DIRTY THROTTLE BODY AS THIS COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. WE HAD THIS SERVICE PERFORMED. SINCE THEN, WE'VE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS ON 9/2/19 @ 4PM-ISH- ALL ELECTRONICS FLASHED OFF/ON WHILE TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE, FOLLOWED BY STABILITRACK WARNING AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE COMING TO STOP AT BOTTOM OF INTERSTATE OFF RAMP APPROX. 15 MIN. LATER. 9/12/19 @ 3:45 PM- STABILITRACK CAME ON 3X IN A ROW WITH LOSS OF ENGIN POWER, ALL ELECTRONICS WENT OFF, INCLUDING NO WINDOW CONTROL OR SCREEN, CAME BACK ON WHEN CRANKED BUT DELAY IN SCREEN COMING ON. 9/19/19 @ 3:08 PM-MEDIA SCREEN FLASHED AND RESET CLOCK TO 12:00. 9/19/19 @ 7PM- CAR DIED WHILE PARKING IN SAM'S WHOLESALE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF. CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AT ALL UNTIL JUMPER CABLES ARE CONNECTED AND THEN IT TYPICALLY CRANKS RIGHT UP. NEW INTERSTATE BATTERY WAS PURCHASED 4/6/18. WHEN WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE LAST FALL THIS BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW INTERSTATE BATTERY ON 11/3/18. WE HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS WITH CAR FROM THAT POINT UNTIL AUGUST 2019. IT DID SEEM TO HELP BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE CAR BATTERY EVERY 9 OR 10 MONTHS. CHEVY DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO FIX IT.

WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, I.E., PARKING LOT OR RESTAURANT DRIVE-THRU LINE, AND MAKING SHARP TURNS, CAR STABILITRAK WARNING WILL FLASH THEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WILL RESULT. ADDITIONALLY, THE MEDIA ELECTRONICS WILL SHUT OFF AND RESTART PERIODICALLY. THIS DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME, ALTHOUGH, THIS NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I AM NOT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. (SEE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT: 11122704) TOOK CAR FOR SERVICE AT CAPITOL CHEVY ON 8/30/19. THEY SAID NO CODES WERE INDICATED, HOWEVER, THROTTLE BODY WAS DIRTY AND COULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY ISSUE. THROTTLE BODY WAS SERVICED/CLEANED. ON SEPT. 2, 2019 I HAD ISSUE WITH MEDIA SYSTEM AND STABILITRAK. WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON I-85, CRUISE CONTROL SET APPROX. 75 MPH, I BRAKED TO DISENGAGE CRUISE SPEED WHEN MEDIA SYSTEM RESET. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY APPROX. 20 MINUTES LATER AND WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED AND TURNING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME ON RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS NEARLY AT A STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER IN THESE SITUATIONS IT WILL HAVE TO BE JUMPED OFF TO RESTART. WHICH HAPPENED PRIOR TO BEING SERVICED ON 8/28/19. I READ ABOUT SIMILAR STORIES ON CHEVY MESSAGE BOARDS RELATED TO 2015 MODELS,

1) INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS, THERE IS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING VIOLENTLY BOUNCING THE WHEEL BACK TO NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THERE IS ALSO SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRICITY, ENGINE TURNS OFF, REQUIRING TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE. THIS ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER RAIN OR AFTER CAR WASH (WATER ENTERING SHARK FIN ANTENNA) 2) INTERMITTENT COMPLETE POWER LOSS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE (OCCURS ESPECIALLY AFTER RAIN - WHEN SHARK FIN ANTENNA GETS FILLED WITH WATER) AND FEELS LIKE BATTERY IS SUDDENLY COMPLETELY DEAD. SOMETIMES IT CAN NOT BE JUMP STARTED IMMEDIATELY, AND AFTER MORE THAN AN HOUR, IT MAY BE JUMP STARTED. 3) WATER LEAKING INTO THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF ROOF (DRIVER SIDE) AFTER RAIN - AGAIN DUE TO SHARK FIN ANTERNNA LEAK. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF CHEVY SUBURBAN/TAHOE, SILVERADO, GM TRUCK REPORTING EXACTLY SAME PROBLEMS ALL OVER INTERNET AND ON YOUTUBE. THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER THE RECENT 09/07/2018 RECALL 18V586000 FIX. THIS RECALL DID NOT HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. IN MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS PEOPLE REPORT HAVING FIXED THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING BATTERY POSITIVE AND GROUND CABLES, AS WELL AS BY REMOVING THE SOUND DAMPENING MATERIAL TRAPPED UNDER G218 GROUND ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF DASH (PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED ABOUT INCREASED RESISTANCE ACROSS G218 GROUND).
