I've now had two Chevy Tahoe's that seem to have similar issues. In 2015, I bought a 2008 Tahoe LTZ, which seemed to have parasitic battery drain. No local repair shops or Chevy could find out what was causing the issue. So last year, I traded it in for a 2016 Tahoe, and pretty much since the day I bought it, I've had parasitic battery issues. I've now gone through 3 batteries, which are really expensive for these large SUVs.
Second, I also have issues with the entertainment/nav system. If I connect an iPhone about half the time, it doesn't start CarPlay. The other half the time, it works, but all touch functions are about 30 seconds delayed from when you press it to when it responds. Also, the screen sporadically goes completely blank and seems to reboot the entire entertainment system. Sometimes, when we're driving, all the icons have [] brackets and the icons start moving around (on their own). If the nav system is on, it's like someone tells the screen to keep scrolling.
We've taken the 2016 to Chevy, and they said it only needs a software update to fix all the issues. This didn't work even though they charged me over $600 for this update. I'm at the end of my rope with Chevy vehicles. I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma that is old as hell and has never had any issues. Repair shops and dealers don't seem to know what they are doing and trading to a new(er) vehicle isn't an option right now. What should I be looking at to get this fixed?
