"TAKATA RECALL" THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IN MY 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND WHEN I CALLED A GM DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WONT PASS INSPECTION UNTIL THE LIGHT IS OFF AND AIRBAGS ARE FIXED. I RECEIVED MY LETTER FROM GM ABOUT THIS RECALL IN 2016 AND IT STATED THAT THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT UNLESS THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW THAT THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON I FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT AND WORRY ABOUT INSPECTION WHEN IT COMES DUE.

GPS ANTENNA LEAKED WHILE PARKED IN RAIN. SATURATED HEAD LINER, STEERING WHEEL, AND DRIVER SEAT. WATER PUDDLED IN DRIVER FLOOR MAT. GPS SIGNAL LOST UNTIL THINGS DRIED OUT. ALSO HAS IMPACTED COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN LAST 2 MONTHS. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BECAUSE VEHICLE IS GARAGED MOST TIMES. DOESN'T OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DURING RAIN, ONLY WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND WATER CAN STREAM IN THROUGH GAP ON BACKSIDE OF ANTENNA AND ENTER THE DEFECTIVE INNER SEAL. I HAVE SEEN MANY ACCOUNTS OF THIS ON FORUMS. GM NEEDS TO CONDUCT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS ISSUE. IT JUST NEVER DRIES UP AND HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT. ALL THIS WATER BLOCKS THE HEADLIGHTS FROM WORKING PROPERLY AND SHINING CORRECTLY. IT INTERFERES WITH THE SAFETY OF MY HEADLIGHTS. I READ SEVERAL BLOGS OF OTHER TAHOE'S IN THIS AGE GROUP OF 2015, 2016 THAT ARE HAVING THIS VERY FRUSTRATING ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS FOR $750 EACH THIS SOON. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO START WHEN COLD. WOULD TAKE 2-3 TIMES TO GET ENGINE TO TURN OVER. AFTER DRIVING, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS UNDENIABLE. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE FUEL HOSE HAD CHAFFED AND FUEL WAS SPRAYING OUT AND PUDDLING ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. HE DROPPED FUEL TANK AND REPLACED FUEL LINE. FUEL LINE THAT WAS REMOVED HAD NO PROTECTION ON IT. REPLACEMENT PART HAD A CORRUGATED LOOM PROTECTING FUEL LINE. I AM STILL IN POSSESSION OF DAMAGED FUEL LINE IN QUESTION.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS AIR BAGS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD THOUGH SCRAP METAL INTO THE DRIVER AND CAUSE DEATH. BUT CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPLACE MY AIR BAGS. CHEVROLET DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS, THE NHTSA GAVE GM UNTIL AUGUST OF 2017 TO PROVIDE A REMEDY, BUT IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER OF 2019 AND I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL AIR BAGS. WHEN CAN I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE?

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
JULY 16TH, 2019 MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF TOTAL LOSS. TRAVEL SPEEDS WERE 30 MPH. IN ATTEMPTS TO STOP DUE TO VEHICLES TRAVELING IN FRONT OF MINE HAD COME TO ABRUPT STOPS MY BRAKES FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING WHILE STRAIGHT LINE STEERING. THUS I WAS FORCED TO STEER LEFT TO AVOID COLLISION. MY BRAKES WERE QUICKLY APPLIED, MODERATE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND WITH MINIMAL BRAKING. THERE WAS COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, CLIPPING THEIR DRIVER SIDE REAR BUMPER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT CORNER FENDER PEALING IT BACK LIKE A CAN OPENER. THIS HAPPENED ON A STATE HWY. THE STABILITRAC INDICATOR AND SERVICE BRAKES HAD APPEARED ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLES DIC INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH. NO CODES PRESENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NEW BRAKES (ROTORS, PADS AND BRAKE FLUID), 43 DAYS PRIOR. IT HAD 138,627 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. 1) WE ARE LUCKY THERE WERE NO INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS ACCIDENT. 2) FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR $61K AND PAID OFF, 6 YEARS LATER LOSSES 2/3 OF ITS PURCHASED VALUE. 3) HAVE NOW HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND BACK TO BEING $20K IN THE HOLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE CURRENT RECALL GM JUST ANNOUNCED THAT COVERS 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND TAHOE MODELS. GM STATES AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE PUMP IN THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKES CAN PUT OUT LESS VACUUM THAN NEEDED, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND RICK OF A CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING WHILE IN DRIVE. REVS HIGH BUT DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR NEARLY LEAVING ME STRAINED AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED. WOULD STRUGGLE TO GET UP TO SPEED WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. I BOUGHT VEHICLE USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 85K MILES IN APRIL 2019 AND PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ALL THE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 90K MILES ON NOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT CHEVY DEALER IN IMLAY CITY, MICHIGAN ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND THEY HAVE YET TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I'VE USED THIS VEHICLE TO TOW MY BOAT. WHEN IN REVERSE AND BACKING BOAT INTO WATER AT BOAT RAMP I'VE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND IT SEEMS TO TAKE A SECOND OR TWO FOR THE BRAKES TO REACT MAKING IT FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING IN REVERSE. NOT SURE IF THIS AN ISSUE WITH THE RECENT BRAKE RECALL SEPT 2019 OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

SERVICE BRAKES
1- EVERY TIME I APPLY MY BRAKES, THEY VIBRATE, SPEED DOESN'T MATTER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. 2- SOMETIMES WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES THEN RELEASE THEM A LITTLE AND REAPPLY THE 2ND TIME IT FEELS LIKE I AM PRESSING AGAINST A BRICK WALL AND CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKES. I NOTICE THIS WHEN I AM GOING SUPER SLOW, PARKING LOT, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ETC.

SERVICE BRAKES
RUSTED REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED SUDDENLY CAUSING A LOSE OF BRAKES, AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES THE FRONTS STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ABS MODULE LOCKED THE REAR BRAKES OUT, MAKING THE TRUCK ONLY HAVE FRONT BRAKES. EVERY STEEL LINE ON THE TRUCK WAS SO RUSTED THAT YOU COULD GRAB THEM AND SNAP THEM BY HAND, I HAD TO REPLACE EVERY LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE, FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE FRONT WHEELS, BOTH LINES FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE REAR RUBBER LINES, AS WELL AS BOTH STEEL LINES ON THE REAR AXLE. THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM, I'VE REPLACED 100S OF THESE LINE SETS OVER THE YEARS. YOU CANT REPLACE THE BLOWN LINE, IF YOU TRY TO REPLACE THE BAD LINE (OR THE BAD SECTION) IT BUILDS MORE PRESSURE THEN BLOWS OUT ANOTHER SPOT OR ANOTHER LINE. IF YOU REPLACE ALL THE TEARS IT'LL BLOW A FRONT LINE OUT. WHEN ONE LINE IS BAD YOU MUST REPLACE THEM ALL, THIS WAS ON MY WIFE'S TRUCK, BUT I'VE HAD TO TELL 100S OF CUSTOMERS THE SAME THING. ON THE SAME YEARS OF VEHICLES (99-06) GM VEHICLES I WARN PEOPLE WHO ASK ABOUT BUYING THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKE LINES, FRAMS, AND TO INSPECT THE BODY AND BODY MOUNTS CLOSELY.
