ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH THE CAR DOES A MASSIVE SHAKE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, STABILIZATION TURNS OFF, TRACTION CONTROLS TURNS OFF AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED FIRST TO 10MPH AND COULD NOT GET MORE THAN 30MPH. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER DUE TO MY SUDDEN STOP. THE SUV IS NOW IN ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND LOST POWER AS IF IT WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE RADIO POWERED ON AND OFF. THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ON THEIR OWN. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARDENAS SUPERSTORE IN PHARR, TX. WE'VE BEEN TO THEM 4 TIMES, IN WHICH THEY'VE SENT OUR TAHOE TO THE LOCAL GM/CHEVROLET DEALER IN OUR AREA. GENERALLY, WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM, STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL DISABLE AND WE WILL SEE A SERIES OF WARNING LIGHTS. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF, THE AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE WILL RISE TO A WARM TEMP, THE LOCKS WILL START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING RANDOMLY, HARD TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, AND LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FIRST TIME WE WENT, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WE WENT, THEY CLEAN OUT ALL THE FUEL MODULES, THE THIRD TIME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AND FINALLY, ON THE FOURTH TRY, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO THEY PUT DI-ELECTRIC GREASE ON SOME OF THE WIRING. TWO DAYS LATER IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A REASON THEY MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING ANY ISSUES IS THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS OFF FOR SOME TIME, IT WILL START UP AND RUN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. I'VE MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE LOCAL AUTOZONE WHILE ALL THE PANEL WAS GOING OFF, AND POWER LOSS, AND THEY MENTIONED A FEW POSSIBLE ISSUES. THE VEHICLES VOLTAGE REGULATOR MAY BE BAD, AS WELL AS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE ECM AND MANY SENSORS(FUEL PUMP, TRANSMISSION, ETC...). WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE OR THIS COULD HAVE BECOME VERY COSTLY FOR US. BUT NONE THE LESS, SAFETY IS OF A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING THE TAHOE. ANY GUIDANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEELS
SPARE TIRE WHEEL DIAMETER IS SMALLER THAN THE DIAMETER OF THE FOUR WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FOUR MAIN WHEELS HAVE 18" WHEELS. THE SPARE TIRE WHEEL IS A 17" DIAMETER. IF THE SPARE TIRE IS USED ON THE REAR DRIVE WHEELS, THE SMALLER SPARE WHEEL WOULD TURN AT A FASTER RPM THAN THE REGULAR TIRE. IS THIS PERMITTED? SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME.

THIS 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2013. THE CHROME DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR JUST CAME OFF IN MY HAND AND HAD TO BE REPLACED IN AUGUST 2015. IN FEBRUARY 2016 THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF AND ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN AN UNLOCKED DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR. I WAS TOLD THE CHROME DOOR HANDLES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BEING DEFECTIVE. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS, WHAT CAN I DO REGARDING REOCCURRING EXPENSES FOR REPAIRS ?

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND A SUN VISOR USED WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS HAVE EVER DEPLOYED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE CRACK SEEMS COSMETIC BUT GIVEN THE LOCATION, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM MAC HAIK CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON, TX. ONLY ONE KEY WAS PROVIDED DURING THE VEHICLE PURCHASE. THE OTHER KEY WAS PROMISED IN AN "WE OWE YOU" STATEMENT, BUT NEVER RECEIVED. AT SOME POINT IN TIME, IT IS BELIEVED THE 2ND KEY WAS USED TO ACCESS THIS VEHICLE AT UNDISCLOSED LOCATION(S) AND OR TIME(S) IN ADDITION TO ONSTAR APP ACCESS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE RUBBING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND LOSING A LITTLE POWER. IN JULY 2014, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SHAKE WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH THE WAY IT NORMALLY WENT OVER SPEED BUMPS MOST TIMES AFTER VEHICLE DELIVERY. IN ADDITION TO, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE IDLING TOO HIGH AT NO SPEED AND IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH THE WAY IT PERFORMED MOST TIMES AFTER VEHICLE DELIVERY. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. IN AUGUST 2014, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THESE PROBLEMS. I WAS INFORMED REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERFILLED. I WAS PROVIDED A STATEMENT OF THE WORK, BUT I FELT THE VERBAL EXPLANATION FOR THE WORK WAS TOO VAGUE BEING MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS. ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 1, 2015 I CONTACTED THE GENERAL MOTORS CHEVROLET CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON WWW.GM.COM AS (800) 222-1020. IN THIS PHONE CONVERSATION, I WAS INFORMED REPAIRS WERE NOT DONE TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, BUT TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND OR POWERTRAIN. NO WARRANTY REPAIR INFORMATION WAS ON FILE FOR ANY SUCH REPAIRS TO THE FRONT POWERTRAIN. I CONTACTED UPPER MANAGEMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO ME IN PROACTIVELY RESOLVING THIS DISCREPANCY. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE MAY BE HAZARDOUS BASED ON THE DISCREPANCY OF REPAIRS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DEATH INSURANCE FOR ME BEING ATTACHED TO THIS VEHICLES VIN WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE.
