Thwarting theft was a focus for Chevrolet when developing their new line of full-size SUV’s. Customers of the 2015 Tahoe or Suburban will get a vehicle that is designed to offer a new level of security and theft deterrence.
New, standard anti-theft features include a steering column lock that deters push-away and tow-away theft, which accounts for a significant portion of stolen vehicle incidents, side cut keys to deter lock picking and more robust door lock cylinders and shields to prevent the successful use of slim-jims and other similar tools.
The new security features aren’t just limited to the exterior either. Inside, creative storage spaces, like the compartment located behind the infotainment screen, keep your valuables out of the sight of would-be thieves. The third row seats are bolted down helping to reduce theft of the third row bench, a crime that the current Tahoe, with its removable seats, was a frequent victim of.
“We have engineered a layered approach to vehicle security,” General Motors’ head of Global Vehicle Security, Bill Biondo said. “With new standard features and the available theft protection package, we are making the all-new 2015 Tahoe a less attractive target to thieves and more secure for our customers.”
Also available on the more upscale LT and LTZ models is a Theft Protection Package which features glass breakage sensors, inclination sensors and interior motion sensors all of which sound the alarm if the vehicle is attempted to be broken into, lifted off the ground, or detects motion within the cabin. Additionally, key control systems make the car harder to start and move without an authorized key.
Finally, if all that fails, OnStar can locate and slowdown the vehicle and even disable the ignition once it is reported stolen. And of course, the 2015 Yukon family will also receive these security graces.
Bill Biondo walks through and demonstrates these features and more in the video below.

Pretty Nice, my only problem with this….and it’s a Huge one is that if the thief can get your contents outside the vehicle before the alarm goes off……..then the Motion Alarm is pretty much Useless!!! I Hope they fix that in time for the launch.
You mean if they break the windows and reach in and take something? If that’s the case then you will be complaining for the rest of your life cuz I don’t think there is any way to stop that except for removing the windows!
The best way to stop people breaking into your car to get your things is to not leave valuable things in the car…. Lol no one is going to smash your window if there is nothing to take
There’s no way in this life can you never leave something valuable in your car
The best way to reduce vehicle theft is to execute the scum instead of giving them a slap on the wrist. The latest thing is they are stealing the rims off of these trucks right in peoples driveways.
I wish you could! People tried to connect electric cords to their respective cars to keep people from messing with them but brain dead people made laws against that!
does anyone know why my 2015 Denali alarm goes off every night around the same time but does not go off any other time.The police look at me like I am stupid but I showed them tonite the theft detection was on when I got in my vehicle .
PLEASE HELP ME
Same thing has been happening the last 2 nights with my denali 2015. The alarm goes off 5 or 6 times in a row, and then it is fine for the rest of the night. I was looking out the window at the truck and could see no viable reason for the alarm going off.
any answers? my 2015 denali has been doing the same thing for 3 weeks now
My GMC Yukon Denali just started doing this tonight. Alarm went off multiple times in a row… Any others with this issue that has found a solution?
I have the same thing with my 2015 Denali. It just starts going off early evening and it just started two weeks ago. Took it to the dealer and they said the battery was low but still good. They charged the battery and it was good for about a week then started again. One other thing is that I don’t drive it much and it sits around a lot. Anyone figured this thing out?
I am wondering how to stay I. My vehicle while my husband runs in a store, setting the alarm and not have the alarm go off while I am in there!! Any suggestions??
Anyone else ha e an issue with the vehicle going into anti theft mode while simply sitting I the vehicle for 15 min while having the key fob in hand.
My wife parked to await my daughter at school. 15 minutes after shutting 2015 Tahoe off, she couldnt get it to start. I eventually arrived and hooked up cables to my 2015 Silverado and it wouldn’t start.
I noticed the anti theft message on message center. After fiddling with key fob buttons, and every other button, I eventually, somehow got the vehicle to start.
Battery, Alternator and starter all test good.
Any idea how this happened? Dealership doesn’t know.
Chevy seems to have a lot of weird electrical problems which causes some random systems to get turned on (like Theft deterrent system). From what I have read so far, this could be from many issues, but more commonly: grounding issue or from the water leak from shark fin antenna (due to its design, it allows water to seep in).
Did you find the solution to your problem?? Please share so that we can benefit from it.
Thanks
