ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2016 CHEVROLET TAHOE LAST YEAR FROM WALKER CHEVROLET. THE VEHICLE HAS 16,000 MILES. ISSUES I HAVE WITH THE VEHICLE. CURRENT DEALERSHIP IS JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET. 1. TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING. 2. TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN HILL ASSIST IS ACTIVATED. 3. NAVIGATION GOES BLANK. 4. VOLUME BUTTON QUITS WORKING AND VOLUME TURNS ALL THE WAY UP. 5. TAHOE SQUEAKS FROM V8 TO V4. 6. LOUD METAL POPPING NOISE WHEN TAKING SHARP LEFT TURNS. 7. NAVIGATION ASSISTANT WILL NOT MUTE. 8. NAVIGATION WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND DOORS ARE LOCKED. 9. SUSPENSION MAKES AWFUL NOISES WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND FLEXING. 10. TAHOE HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE IN FIRST GEAR. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE ALMOST WRECKED THE TAHOE AFTER THE VOLUME WOULD NOT TURN DOWN FROM BEING STUCK AT THE HIGHEST VOLUME LEVEL. A TRACTOR TRAILER ALMOST REAR-ENDED US AFTER THE HILL ASSIST ACTIVATED AND THE GEAR WENT INTO TO FIRST. I WENT TO JIM ELLIS AND TOLD THEM SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER JUST BECAUSE THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REPRODUCED WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING WAS FIXED, BUT I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE ISSUE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP.THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS TOLD THE NAVIGATION WAS FIXED, BUT THE NAVIGATION AND VOLUME PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THE LONGER I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. YET ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP.

AS WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE IF THERE IS EVER AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURS AND THE AIR BAG WILL NEED TO DEPLOY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 30 DAYS AGO AND NOW HAVE A CRACK IN THE DASH. BY READINGUP ON THIS, THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST A 2004 TAHOE WITH NO,COMPLAINTS.I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD GET OFF THERE POCKET BOOKS AND RECALL THIS. THIS TAHOE ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES. PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. COME ON GM DO THE RIGHT THING. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND I LOOSE AN EYE OR SUFFER FACIAL DAMAGE DUE TO FLYING DEBRIS FROM A CRACKED DASH THAT WILL BE ON YOU. I ALSO HAVE A CAMRY. THEY RECALLED THERE DASH JUST BECAUSE ITS STICKY. STEP UP MADE IN THE USA. PLEASE. AFTER PAYING $29000. FOR A CAR THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS CAR WAS SITTING STILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. NOTIFIED CHEVROLET OF NB IN REGARDS TO RECALL THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED TO REPLACE AIR BAGS. CALLED TAKATA IN REGARDS OF RECALL. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL GM IN REGARDS TO LOANER CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE AIR BAGS. THEY STATE CAR IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE...NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS SINCE IT IS A RECALL AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ARTICLE READS THAT VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE...

AC CONDENSER HAS A HOLE IN IT....STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR WHEN I WENT OUT TO LUNCH..NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG.....NO CONDENSERS TO BE HAD BY DEALERSHIP AND OUR REGULAR MECHANIC CAN'T GET ONE EITHER BECAUSE GM IS PURCHASING ALL OF THEM AS FAST AS THEY ARE PUT ON THE SHELF. BACK ORDER PROBLEM AND A NATION WIDE KNOWN ISSUE BY GM.....AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT A RECALL OR A WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. NOT COOL......WE LIVE IN TEXAS.....90 PLUS DEGRESS RIGHT NOW. PART CAN BE WELDED BUT DON'T KNOW IF THAT FIX WILL LAST....THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE IF A NATION WIDE PROBLEM AND KNOWN PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY MESSAGE CENTER TELLING ME THAT MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL HAD A FAILURE. IT WOULD START BLINKING FAST. I TOOK IT TO A PARTS STORE TO GET A BULB TO REPLACE UR BUT WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOOK IT THERE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOCKET HAD MELTED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. I JUST READ WHERE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE CHEVROLET SAID EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL AD MORE. 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT3. FIRST DENIED CLAIM ON CRACKED DASHBOARD AS WARRANTY WAS UP. THEN CHEVY RECALLS CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES, BUT MY TAHOE IS NO IN THE RECALL. MY KIDS HAVE CUT THEIR HANDS ON THE PEELING HANDLES I TOOK IT TO GM THE SAID TOO BAD YOUR MILEAGE IS TO GREAT WE WONT HONOR RECALL FURTHERMORE YOUR VEHICLES IS NOT LISTED IN RECALL. HOW IS IT NOT LISTED WHEN ALL CHROME INTERIOR HANDLED VEHICLES WHERE RECALLED? THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE A HIKE. NOW I HAVE HAD A AIR BAG RECALL FOR OVER A YEAR, AND A VERY CRACKED DASH WHICH GM WILL NOT FIX. IF THE "RECALLED" AIR BAGS DID AS THEY HAVE DONE AND THE STATE OF MY DASH THERE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. GM DOES NOT CARE, THEY HAVE ADDRESSED THE SITUATION NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING THEY ARE DOING IS CORRECTING THE ISSUE.

TAPPING NOISE IN LIFTERS DEVELOPED AT FIVE DAYS AGO. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 58,000 MILES. CHEVY DEALER INFORMED US THE REPAIR WOULD BE $4,000-$5000. WE HAVE COMPLETE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RECORDS ON THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER 2007. WE ARE THE ONLY OWNERS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP RUSTS OUT. THE FUEL TANK HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HOLDS WATER AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE TANK RUST OUT AND CAUSES GAS AND FUMES TO ESCAPE THE TANK. FUEL WILL SPRAY ONTO EXHAUST AND UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. ALSO EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPORS ESCAPE THE TANK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO GM OF THE PROBLEM BUT GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY MONETARY GAIN I SIMPLY WANT GM TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. SOME PEOPLE REPORTED THE PROBLEM BEFORE 100,000 MILES AND NEARLY ALL PROBLEMS OCCUR BEFORE 150,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE WITH TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE FRAGMENTS OF SHARP PLASTIC TO BE LAUNCHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY ALSO BE COMPROMISED.

OUR TAHOES AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT CHECKED. THEIR RECORDS SHOWED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL AND THAT THEY HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE STRUT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WASN'T THE STRUT/ ACTUATOR . HE SAID IT WAS THE MODULE AND THAT IT NEEDED REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $750. WE ORDERED THE MODULE AND PUT IT IN AND IT DIDN'T FIX IT. AFTER REPLACING THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR/LOCK NOT SHOWING ANY POWER, SO WE ORDERED THAT AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. LAST WE REPLACED THE STRUT/ACTUATOR AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WON'T ADMIT ANY WRONGDOING BUT WE DON'T FEEL THAT A RECALLED PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE COST US ANYTHING.

A/C CONDENSER. THE A/C IN MY 2015 CHEVY TAHOE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IS THE PAST TWO-AND-A-HALF WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND THAT THE FREON WAS GONE. THEY CHECKED AND COULD NOT LOCATE ANY LEAKS. THE RECHARGED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED FREON, ADDING DYE TO THE SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY FUTURE LEAKS. TWO-AND-A-HALF WEEKS LATER, MY FREON WAS COMPLETELY GONE AGAIN AND THE DYE REVEALED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY A/C CONDENSER. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ON THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT GM\CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE PART IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER, AND EVEN MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP CANNOT GET THE PART. THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. OTHERS ARE REPORTING WAIT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 60 DAYS TO SECURE A REPLACEMENT A/C CONDENSER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL MY A/C FUNCTIONS, GIVEN THE EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES IN MY AREA. WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A PART TO FIX IT, THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY A MANUFACTURER RECALL. MY DEALER HAS LOOKED FOR OEM, AFTER-MARKET, USED, AND REBUILT A/C CONDENSERS NATIONWIDE, AND CAN'T LOCATE A SINGLE ONE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. OTHERS ONLINE ARE REPORTING THE SAME. FORCE CHEVY TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS SITUATION!
