Buyers Beware
I am an Active Duty Military member who dreamed of owning a Tahoe since my first deployment back in 2010. It took me 11 years to finally take the leap and buy my dream car. I bought my custom ordered Tahoe in March 2021 and to say I was excited is an understatement. It wasn’t until June that I noticed my Tahoe was leaking water through all four areas where the seatbelts come out. I heard a swishing noise and then both of my children (one being a newborn) starting crying from getting water poured on them along with water covering most areas of my vehicle. There was enough water that it saturated a towel and I knew at that moment something was very wrong with my vehicle. I immediately called the dealership and the earliest they could get me in was 3 days later. When I brought my vehicle in, they had it for the entire day and could not find the source of leaking and chalked it up to possible condensation. It was less than two weeks later (19 June 2021) the same thing happened again besides even more water came in and I was able to take a video of water pouring from the seatbelts and my dash. I called the dealership again and brought it in on 21 June 2021. Knowing the vehicle was leaking the dealership left my vehicle outside until the afternoon of 23 June 2021 in which multiple rainstorms occurred prior to them bringing it inside. On 19 June 2021, I called GM customer service and a case was created. Over the next 44 days my vehicle was in the shop getting repaired. A new sunroof frame had to be installed amongst other repairs and I had to beg GM to conduct third party mold inspection which came back positive. Being that I have two children, one new to this world and the other who gets sick very easily and is prone to respiratory issues, I needed GM to do right by my children and make sure they wouldn’t be impacted by their negligence. I requested GM replace my vehicle, instead they had it professionally cleaned and retested in which it came back negative. I am concerned mold could still be internal to all seats and internal to the dashboard since those areas were not cleaned or couldn’t be. I received my vehicle back today and the best offer GM could do was possibly cover 1 to 2 of my car payments. My vehicle also sustained damage to multiple areas requiring it to be repainted in several areas (we're waiting for appointment). Buyers I urge you to use caution when buying this type of vehicle or any vehicle from Chevy/GM. Their customer service is very poor and they will do anything to avoid fully resolving an issue they caused.
