ENGINE
I was driving at 55 mph when the entire car shuddered and very loud babgihg and knocking occurred. Immediately the car slowed way down and lost power. Luckily I was able to sagely move it out of the lane before getting rear ended but that was only because I was in the right lane. The check engine light came on and started blinking and the traction control failure and safety radar system failure light came on. The vehicle was towed to a Chevy dealer and found out the lifters had failed and these damaged the crankshaft. The truck has 91000 miles. After researching there seems to be a very large problem with these engines failing due to the AFM system that chevy uses

SERVICE BRAKES
At low speeds mainly backing up the abs will kick in on dry blacktop. Sometimes slowing down for a stop sign i can feel the brake pedal pulsing which leads me to believe its the abs kicking it when its not supposed to be. The tahoe has newer brakes and new tires.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I purchased a 2021 Chevy Tahoe from Autonation Chevrolet 11-3-2020. I have taken my Tahoe to the service department numerous times - as my truck has had a stubborn service safety restraint system warning error code that continues to come on and off. I have taken it to have all recalls serviced as per recall request. The service safety restraint system warning code has not been corrected after more than 5-6 visits if not more as not all visits have been logged properly. I have had this truck for less than 12 months and have experienced too many conflicting issues. I do NOT feel safe driving my Tahoe with the SRS light on. There's obviously a malfunction that you all have not been able to figure out. This is extremely dangerous!! What if I were to get involved in an accident or collision and my airbags do not deploy? I may have a problem with the airbags themselves, a loose wire, a faulty seat belt buckle, or a problem with the engine control unit which is causing the airbag warning to come on. There is obviously a major problem. I am putting my children and family at risk. I have not received an email or phone call from anyone at Autonation Chevrolet. The service safety restraint system warning code has come on and off 7x since I was last at the dealership (9/10/21) and I have pictures to support.

I was sent a notification in February 2021 to notify of a recall for the airbags on my Tahoe. I have received no further information from General Motors, Chevrolet or the local dealer. The notice says a severe injury or death could result from the malfunction. Seven months is not timely. I checked the General Motors website and it states no parts or repairs are available. I will contact them also so see if this can be escalated. Dangerous.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ around July 10th, 2021 from an individual in Georgia. The vehicle has been immaculately maintained with no damages on it at all. I had researched any recalls on the vehicle before I even looked at it. I found that there was one for an airbag problem. Long story short, I purchased the vehicle and the previous owner took it for the recall issue to be repaired before I picked it up. About 2 weeks after I got it, I noticed that the dashboard was vibrating and that was not anything that was happening when I purchased it. I thought it might just be loose. I’m only 5 feet tall so I could not see over the domed instrument panel when driving. It was only when my daughter drove it that she was the one who noticed the very large crack. It’s cracked on both sides with the largest being on the driver’s side. The crack covers the entire dashboard from the windshield to the dome over the instrument panel. I feel that this is a serious safety issue. I have recently discovered that there was a lawsuit against GM asking for these vehicles to be recalled for this problem. Apparently it happens quite a bit!! I called the dealership that repaired the airbag issue but of course they couldn’t or wouldn’t help me. I know these dashboards are expensive to replace..upwards of $2000. I wanted to file a complaint because as I said earlier, this is a safety concern for me. Can you help?

POWER TRAIN
While accelerating from a green light the truck felt as if it shifted into neutral leaving me stranded in the middle of a 4 lane highway there was no indication or warning light or sign until after the incident. Only then did the check engine light come on. There was a slight vibration before the transmission failed at 85000 miles. The truck is in the shop having the transmission replaced. I lost total drive control in the middle of a busy highway the out come could have been very bad.

This vehicle is less than 5 years old, has less than 63K miles, and the front struts are blown and leaking oil and rear shock is locked up. This makes the vehicle dangerous to drive and difficult to control on bumpy roads.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
While driving on the freeway truck had lost all power and steering and braking capacity. The screen on dash went completely black with no warning signs. Vehicle could not accelerate and or brake other than drift in lane. Vehicle was without power for a brief time until power came back was able to not crash vehicle as this happened at a high rate on speed on busy freeway. When power did engage back on the dash lights now were full brightness and no control to dim it down could have been sign of definitely Electrical issues. This had occurred several times since it had this major problem! I then urgently took my vehicle to specific Chevy dealership for service and was refused service at dealership for the major electronic black out. I had no other choice but I then had contact Chevy customer service line to bring them this major problem four months ago. To this current day I still haven’t had any support or assistance in addressing this major problem with my vehicle! Chevy support or lack there of has only delayed addressing my to get serviced to see what’s causing this problems!
