Description of the problem | Hi im writing again to report on 2016 chevy tahoe vacumm asst failure / defective parts the tahoe had at the time of the crash 40,475! I had just picked up my vehicle from service at jack schmitt chevrolet for unrelated issue i was 2 miles from the dealership heading southbound on green mount rd. Approaching a stop light i was slowing down coming up to the light when spider fell between my legs so i attempted to kill it at the same time the collision alert activated and i immediately hit the brakes but the pedal was hard and the suv was not stopping like i thought it should so i started making evasive action to avoid rear ending the car at the light. I pulled the steering wheel all the way to the right but the suv kept moving not slowing as it should have and hit rear passenger side back oh the car in front of me causing nominal damage to both vehicles about 12,000 for the tahoe which i got repaired so i chalk it up as my fault but i kept noticing the suv on several occasions seemed like it was still moving when it should stopped. Months passed and i was looking up possible causes and on a web site a complaint made by somebody who's tahoe was doing the same thing that's when i filed a claim with chevy/gm somewhere around june 20 2018 and spoke monique hill who took my report and months later denied my claim and in the same letter said get your vacum asst serviced and i thought that was strange! Anyway i did get it serviced at jack schmitt chevy in ofallon il 6186252800 and was told the vacuum assist was defective and they had to order the parts to repair also they had to give me a car rental because the 2016 chevy tahoe was unsafe for the road and that would be held liable if they let me take it and i'm pissed at that point all this time i could have been killed! I was hurt and hurt for about a year sure back and neck and they just denied denied denied! Please help |
