FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON THE 2009 GMC TAHOE HAS MALFUNCTIONED FOUR TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TAHO, IT HAS FAILED AS WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY COMPROMISING OUR SAFETY, IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING, GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ONLY RECALLED THE EARLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLES, 27000 TO BE EXACT, HAVE TRIED TO TELL GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LAST TIME IT FAILED WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65-70 MILES AN HOUR WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM JUST SHUT DOWN...THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURED PART THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATERPROOF, BUT THE SEAL FAILS AND SHORTS OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS IS THE RECALL ON THE EARLY PART OF THE YEAR VEHICLES: GM IS RECALLING 27,188 MY 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE HYBRID, ESCALADE ESV, AND ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SUBURBAN, TAHOE, TAHOE HYBRID, AND COLORADO; AND GMC YUKON, YUKON HYBRID, YUKON XL, AND CANYON VEHICLES. THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZING (RTV) SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE.

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE SPOKEN TO WITH 2007-2013 YEAR MODEL CHEVROLET VEHICLES MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW. I AM WORRIED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE CRACK. I HAVE CONTACTED GM FOR HELP BUT THEY OFFER NOTHING. THE CRACK HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS AND IS NOW REALLY BAD. GM IS PITIFUL

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO CHEVROLET I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR RESEARCH. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES IN MY CAR. SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING THE BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGE AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING THROWN FORWARD. I TOOK THIS TO SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SINCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY TOLD ME, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAG. I FEEL THAT SINCE I DID REPORT THIS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MORE DIAG. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR, UNTIL A NEIGHBOR WITH THE SAME CAR ASKED IF I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES MY CHEVY CARES CASE NUMBERS : [XXX], [XXX] AND [XXX]; [XXX]*DT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

IN REGARDS OF MY 2009 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ THIS VECHICLE HAS HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN EVER THE CAR IS PARKED AN YOU EXIT THE SUV TO LOCK IT IT DOES NOT LOCK YOU HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND LIKE ITS LOCKED BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED IT OPENS RIGHT UP AN THE ALARM GOES OFF AN TO MENTION THE DOOR HANDLES ARE CHIPPING AWAY AN THE PLASTIC CUTS ALMOST EVERY PERSON THAT OPENS MY DOORS THAT ARE NOT CAREFUL. AN IVE HAD TO PATCH ALMOST 5 PLACES ON MY COOLANT AN A/C LINES THAT ARE ALUMINUM VERY CHEAPLY MADE.
