2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DASH HAS SEVERELY CRACKED IN NUMEROUS PLACES INCLUDING NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WHICH I FEAR COULD CREATE SHRAPNEL IF INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND THE AIRBAG INFLATES. THIS HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED OVER TIME.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (EMICH CHEVROLET, 2033 S WADSWORTH BLVD, LAKEWOOD, CO 80227, (303) 647-5376) WAS CONTACTED MONTHLY FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - WE REC'D A RECALL NOTICE BACK ON JULY 2016 BUT THE DEALER HAS NOT REC'D THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I CONTACTED GM CHEVROLET AND I UNDERSTAND GM IS SAYING WE ARE NOT AT RISK WITH THE AIRBAGS BASED ON THEIR FINDINGS? WHY THE RECALL? WAITING ON NHSTA TO CHANGE THEIR DECISION ON THE RECALL? I'M CONFUSED...IS THERE A RECALL OR NOT? 2 YEARS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION? WHAT WOULD MAKE THE CHEVROLET TAHOE TAKATA AIR BAGS SAFE BUT THE HONDA'S WE OWN, NOT SAFE AND WERE REPLACED QUICKLY BY THE DEALER? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE CHEMICAL IN THE AIR BAGS BREAKS DOWN...IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THE 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE WHERE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR? WE LIVE IN GEORGIA - HIGH HUMIDITY! IT SHOULD NOT TAKE 2+ YEARS TO DETERMINE IF THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE REPLACED AFTER A SAFETY RECALL IS ISSUED...I HOPE THEY ARE SAFE...I AM NOT SURE WHO TO BELIEVE.

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS AND TWO MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE. THE RECALL STATUS SAYS THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I BEEN WAITING TOO LONG FOR A REPAIR OF A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (COURTESY CHEVROLET SAN DIEGO, 750 CAMINO DEL RIO NORTH, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, 92108) CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. CODE B1019 AT DEALERSHIP. SO THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. $900. STILL HAVING RANDOM LIGHT ON AND OFF. THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT WITHOUT THE LIGHT BEING ON. I TOOK IT BACK IN WITH THE LIGHT ON, HE CLEARED THE CODE AND NOW SAYS HE NEEDS IT TO COME BACK ON AGAIN. HELP. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AFTER READING EVERYTHING ABOUT TAKATA RECALL. ONLY HAVE 63,000 MILES

TAKATA RECALL. MANY YEARS AND NO ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. UNABLE TO SELL DUE TO OUTSTANDING RECALL.

DASHBOARD ON TAHOE IS CRACKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

I PURCHASED MY TAHOE FROM THE DEALER BRAND NEW AND ALWAYS TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED AT THE SAME DEALER. IN 2015 I TOOK IT IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A MISFIRE AND THEY REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND MACHINED THE HEADS STATING THAT THE VALVES WERE LEAKING. REPAIRS COST NEARLY $3000. THIS YEAR 2018 IN MARCH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN A CYLINDER THE SAME CYLINDER THAT WAS MIFIRING 3 YEARS PRIOR. THEY SAID A ROLLER ON THE ROCKER DISINTERGRATED AND REPAIRS WOULD COST CLOSE TO $6000 THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING I DID THE VEHICLE DOES EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. NO HARSH DRIVING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
