2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I DROVE MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND THEN PARKED IT FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED MY CAR WAS EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST RECENTLY FILLED UP AND HAD ONLY GONE ABOUT 80 MILES ON THE TANK, MY AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT STAYED ON, AND NONE OF MY GAUGES WERE FUNCTIONING. ALSO, THE LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ABOVE MY REVIEW MIRROR DIDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL. I DROVE IT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MILES, I PARKED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I COULD NOT GET IT TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS DANGER OF NOT HAVING ANY GAUGES WHILE DRIVING, MY FEAR IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT.

2008 TAHOE HAD A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND CONTACTED DEALER EVERY YEAR SINCE WE RECEIVED THE RECALL. CHEVY DEALER SAYS NO REPLACEMENT YET AND NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE REPLACED. TAHOE HAS BEEN IN GARAGE SINCE 2016 WHEN WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE. WILL NOT DRIVE FOR MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY!!! WE SHOULD BE GIVEN AT NEW FULL CREDIT ON THIS VEHICLE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE! TWO AND HALF YEARS OF THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALL STILL NOT REPLACED!!!!

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAGS AFFECTED BY TAKATA RECALL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AND CHEVROLET STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE"

WE OWN TWO CHEVY TAHOE'S AND BOTH OF THEM (2008 & 2012) HAVE CRACKING DASHBOARDS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IS A HAZARDS TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED OCCASIONALLY, BUT RECENTLY BEGAN TO FLASH MORE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,673.

TAKATA RECALL BATTERY DRAINAGE WITH TESTED GOOD BATTERY & GOOD ALTERNATOR. ISSUES UNKNOWN BUT CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON OR PLUGGED IN. SHOP COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. ONE EXAMPLE IS WENT TO GET GAS & AFTER FILL, CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE 2016 TO GET THIS REMEDIED AND KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT REMEDY FOR THIS. I JUST WENT TO A CHEVY DEALER THIS AM AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF LETTERS REGARDING THIS RECALL AND THE MOST RECENT POST CARD STATES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE BUT WHEN I CONTACT LOCAL DEALERS ARE SAYING THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE????? WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND ARE VERY FRUSTRATED!!!

THE FUEL PUMP AND VAPOR LINES ARE CORRODED. THE PUMP AND LINES HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

MY DASH PANEL HAS CRACKED OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA. THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY OR POSSIBILITY OF THINGS GETTING IN THROUGH THE CRACK TO DAMAGE THE ELECTRONICS UNDERNEATH.
