ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT...IRONICALLY, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN TX TOO, BUT, I PURCHASED IT USED IN VA IN 2011 ODOMETER-73,625. TO DATE, I ONLY HAVE 101,225- I STARTED HAVING CONSTANT STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES RIGHT AFTER 100,000- CAUSED STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND LOSS OF POWER IN ADDITION TO DOOR LOCKS SUDDENLY LOCKING/UNLOCKING, CAR ALARM GOING OFF, AND HAZARD BLINKERS NOT WORKING (ALL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC)! AFTER THIS CONSTANT ISSUE WAS "REPAIRED"-FOR 6TH TIME, A FEW MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. AFTER WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE-I HAD TO PUSH GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BARELY REACHING 20MPH, THEN, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING & TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE BRAKES WERE BARELY WORKING. THANKFULLY, I WAS NEAR A PARKING LOT & WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS TIME I THINK IT IS A BCM OR PCS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE "FLEX-FUEL" 4WD 2007 TAHOES ARE HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE CONSTITUTE UNDER LEMON LAW. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE NOW-THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A LONG TIME, YET I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE & REGISTRATION. I'M SICK OF WASTING MONEY AS WELL. PLEASE HELP US (2007 TAHOE OWNERS), FIX THESE ISSUES! THANK YOU. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
HI. MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT IS ON. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. I FOUND A RECALL FOR IT ON THE CHEVY WEBSITE BUT IT SAYS ITS 'RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE'. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. DATE OF RECALL: MAY 27,2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049151 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V381. IM JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP? SINCE MY "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT IS ON NOW I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS THE RECALL STATES THE FOLLOWING: THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. SEPARATELY AND ADDITIONALLY, THE DASH HAS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS CRACKED ON THE COVER TO THE AIRBAG AS WELL. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. IT JUST CRACKED ONE DAY. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AND I HAVE ATTACHED THE PDF. CLEARLY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE. A CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD COMPOUND THE SEVERITY OF A CAR CRASH AND IT COULD SHATTER INTO PIECES UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND SEND SHARDS OF DASHBOARD FLYING AT BOTH THE DRIVER AND THEIR PASSENGERS. BETWEEN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE DASH CRACKING IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. GM IS UNWILLING TO HELP ME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IMMEDIATE ACTION CAN BE TAKEN SO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS ARE SAFE WHEN I'M DRIVING. THANKS!

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE THAT JUST RANDOMLY STOPS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO NELSON HALL CHEVY IN MERIDIAN, MS AND ALSO TO HERRIN-GEAR IN JACKSON MS. THEY HAVE BOTH SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO TRADE THE VEHICLE AND THEY WON'T TAKE IT BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS ON 5/21/2020. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WAS GETTING 20 TO 22 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO WHERE I WOULD ONLY BE GETTING 15 TO 16 MPG. I HAVE ALSO GONE OUT AND GOTTEN GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER RESETING THE AVERAGE MPG I WOULD BE BACK UP TO GETTING 19 TO 20 ON CITY STREETS AND GO OUT THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND ON THE FIRST START UP AND IT WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO 12 TO 13 ON WHILE STATIONARY AND STAY THAT WAY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK EVEN AFTER GOING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE EFI CLEANED AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SO I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF A PART OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT COULD POSSIBLY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY.

STRUCTURE
CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AT THE CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD AND APPEAR TO BE GROWING AS THE DASH COOLS AND WARMS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO NOTICING THE CRACKS. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, IS AT THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE AIRBAG CONTAINMENT AREA ON THE DASH. THIS CRACK IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING AS IT LOOKS TO BE UNDER PRESSURE AND BULGING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THE AIRBAG GOING OFF PREMATURELY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD, PREPARING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY, THE DOOR-LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN REPEATEDLY, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. THEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHICH MADE IT COME TO A SUDDEN HARD STOP. THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. THANKFULLY, MY DEALERSHIP WAS AT THE NEAREST INTERSECTION, SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2014 TAHOE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LOCKS CONTINUED TO GO UP AND DOWN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF AS I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GO INSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THE MANAGER KNOW WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE MANAGER TOLD US TO PULL THE CAR AROUND TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I DID A SEARCH AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2014 CHEVROLET TAHOES FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO STALL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD TO CLOSE FOR A WHILE BECAUSE OF COVID-19, BUT WHEN THEY REOPENED THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; THEREFORE, GM WILL NOT PAY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT IN THAT CONDITION SO I'VE TRADED IT IN FOR A NEW, NON-CHEVROLET/GM VEHICLE. I AM REPORTING THIS TO PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM PURCHASING AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT'S DANGEROUS! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAHOE IS USED TO COMMUTE TO OWNER'S PROFESSION ROUGHLY 20 MILES EVERY WEEK DAY. ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING HOME, TAHOE HAD STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE SITTING IN OWNER'S GARAGE. IT WOULD THEN ALSO HAVE SIMILAR ODOR WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE CAR. BROUGHT THE TAHOE TO BLASIUS CHEVROLET IN WATERBURY, CT. TAHOE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES AND STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT "FUEL LINE CHEWED THREW BUY (SIC) MOUSE." OWNER ASKED FOR A PICTURE OF THE PINHOLE LEAK CAUSE BY THE MOUSE. IMAGE (WHICH IS ATTACHED) ILLUSTRATES DAMAGE THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL. IT IS SMOOTHLY RUBBED DOWN AND SHOWS NO CHEW MARKS AND IS IN ONE SPECIFIC SPOT. DEALER REFUSED TO USE WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN ANIMAL AND NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING DONE TO THE CAR BY OWNER. ONLY WORK THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THE TAHOE HAS BEEN BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2015 TAHOES AROUND THE 60K MILES MARK. THE FUEL LINE IS WORN DOWN BY RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE CONSUMER CONSIDERING A FUEL LINE IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD "GET WORN DOWN" OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKING ON THE ENGINE COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF IT WAS NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. *TR

STEERING
THANK GOD MY WIFE OR SOMEONE WASN'T DRIVING AT THIS TIME : GOT IN THE VEHICLE, STARTED AND A SERVICE VEHICLE CAME ON.. IT SAID ' POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE '. I COULD NOT EVEN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I GUESS A STEERING MODULE OR A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NEEDED. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID CALL BACK MONDAY. BOUGHT TAHOE BRAND NEW IN 2018, ONLY HAS 22K MILES. I'M STUCK NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE TILL MONDAY. *TR
