VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD DRIVE BUT IN A JERKING MOTION. WE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE DTC P2135, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER DISPLAYED AND THE TRACTION OFF ALSO DISPLAYED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO CLEAN OUT THE THROTTLE BODY TO REMOVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET/GM SERVICE CENTER IN EAST HARTFORD, CT AND THEY SAID THAT THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #11273 FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, THOUGH. I THEN CALLED CORPORATE GM AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO EXCEPT WAIT FOR THE ISSUE TO ARISE. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD REDUCE TO 50MPH BUT IT ISN'T A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THIS CAR IS TRAVELING AT 65-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND REDUCES SPEED TO 50MPH WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY SAID THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY COULD DO SO NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS DRIVE AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT WE KNOW HAS AN ISSUE BUT CANNOT NOT GET IT FIXED PROPERLY UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. CASE #[XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS
AT APPROX. 60K MILEAGE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS CRACKED. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS REPLACED. AT 113K MILEAGE, THE CRACK IS NOW IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS WELL AS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. BECAUSE WE ARE OUT OF THE 100K WARRANTY GM REFUSES TO PAY. WE ARE OUT OF POCKET $950 TO REPLACE WITH NO ASSURANCE IF LEFT CRACKED IT WILL NOT CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE 4TH GM VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT CRACK. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2009 CHEVY TAHOE AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH DOOR LOCK PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST YEAR. THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT THIS POINT AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. AT THIS MOMENT WE HAVE 2 WORKING DOORS, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY THESE REMAINING 2 CURRENTLY WORKING DOORS WILL NOT OPEN EITHER AND MY FAMILY MAY BE TRAPPED. SOMEONE SUGGESTED WE CONTACT THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD AND FILE A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF MAYBE WE CAN FORCE GM INTO A RECALL SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH? PLEASE ADVICE ON HOW I SHOULD PROCEED WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
