2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT STALLED OUT LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I BARELY MADE IT A MILE BACK HOME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE LIFTERS WERE BAD AND THAT THE CAM SHAFT ROD IS BENT. THIS IS A $60,000 VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL (N192268490) ON MY SUV THAT KNOWINGLY DOES HAVE ISSUES WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE BREAKS WILL NOT STOP MY VEHICLE PROPERLY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO THE LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND I OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND STILL REMAINS A DRIVING ISSUE AND SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE DECEMBER 2019, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE 2 LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. BOTH LOCATIONS TOLD ME THE SOFTWARE IS NOT UPDATED PROPERLY THEREFORE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT EXCEPT RECALL. AFTER MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET THE RECALL FIXED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND A CASE NUMBER WAS ISSUED (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 9-5847462774). I COMMUNICATED FREQUENTLY WITH CHEVROLET ON RESOLVING THE RECALL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE END RESULT, I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE ISSUE IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED AND THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDED AND THEY WERE UNCERTAIN IF/WHEN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SINCE THE CASE WITH CHEVROLET HAS BEEN OPENED, I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS AND THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS RECALL, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN VIA EMAIL AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO REPLY BACK OR RETURN PHONE CALL. IS THIS HOW A PERSON, WITH A FAMILY, THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL ON A VEHICLE SHOULD BE TREATED? ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE VACUUM LINE FOR THE BRAKES IN MY CHEVROLET TAHOE KNOWINGLY DO NOT SEAL AND THE BRAKES DO NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, GMC ISSUED A RECALL FOR SEVERAL GMC VEHICLES REGARDING "SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM". AS SUCH, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY GMC. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE OUT OF A CROWED PARKING LOT, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PLACING THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL ALONG PLUS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WAS REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE WAS AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL TO THE SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDING BYSTANDERS IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE CURRENT RECALL ONLY REPROGRAMS THE COMPONENTS (REFERENCE THE LETTER ISSUED BY GMC AND THE NHTSA'S WEB SITE FOR THIS RECALL). IT WAS FURTHER COMMENTED BY BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GMC, THAT THIS WILL NOT ADDRESS ALL VEHICLES IDENTIFIED IN THIS RECALL, MEANING MORE ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE UNDERLINING ISSUE. IN THIS CASE, SEVERAL COMPONENTS WERE NEEDED TO BE PHYSICAL REPLACED, NAMELY THE VACUUM PUMP. IN ADDITION, IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC THAT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL WILL EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUES (BRAKES FAILING TO STOP THE VEHICLE). DURING THE CALL TO GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (866.790.5600), THE SENIOR MANAGER REFUSED TO TAKE THE ADVICE TO INFORM ALL CUSTOMERS/CONSUMERS OF THIS DANGEROUS ONGOING RISK. EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FAILURE, GMC HAS YET TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION TO CONSUMERS THAT THE CURRENT RECALL MAY FAIL TO ADDRESS THE UNDERLINING SAFETY FAILURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A NEW RECALL TO ADVICE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VACUUM BRAKE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM BY ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. OTHERWISE, THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PARTS UNLESS THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCES AN ACTUAL FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH SOUND AND SOME RATTLING COMING FROM THE SUNROOD . IT WAS RAINING BUT NOT BAD. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE FLEW UP AND HIT THE SUNROOF. I HAD NOT GONE UNDER AN OVERPASS AND THERE WAS NOT MANY CARS ON THE ROAD. I PULLED IN TO A PARKING LOT AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE HIT AND BROKE THE GLASS BUT THE SUNROOF WAS BROKEN. T

WHY IS NHTSA ALLOWING SALE OF MILLIONS OF DANGEROUS UNFIXABLE AIRBAG RECALLED SUVS TO BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CONSEQUENCE IS DEATH BY AN ALLOWED LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IN A MAJORITY OF CARS ON THE ROAD. WHY IS THERE NO PROTECTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HERE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T ALLOWED. EVERY CAR WITH THIS RECALL IS A DEADLY RISK AND NHTSA IS NOT GETTING DEALERS TO STOP SELLING SUCH VEHICLES NOR ARE THEY INVESTIGATING THE MANY DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE HIDING THE ISSUES BY SAYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LIES IN THE DESCRIPTION AND HIDING IT IN THE CARFAX BUT KEEPING IT IN THE VIN CHECK. NHTSA HAS A DUTY TO PROTECT US ALL ESPECUU ITI ALLY NOW I'M THUS RARE INSTANCE WHERE EVERY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IS A DEATH SENTENCE BY THE VERY SAFETY DEVICE MEANT TO PROTECT , THE AIRBAGS, WHICH IS ONE THING IF DOES NOT INFLATE, BUT IS WORSE THAT IT SHOOTS METAL SHRAPNEL WHEN AIRBAG EXPLODES INSTEAD OF INFLATED AND HAS ALREADY INJURED AND KILLED 19 PEOPLE AND NO WAY TO PREVENT EXPLOSION SINCE NO REMEDY BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEACTIVATE THE POSSIBILITY OF IT EXPLODING INSTEAD OF ALLOWING IT TO BE SOLD AND HARM PEOPLE? THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT T RELATED TO VEHICLES DMV, DOT, HEALTH AND SAFETY AND FBI, BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING THAT IT HAS GOTTEN THUS FAR ALONG WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION EXCEPT IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT THUS FAR PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK. I THINK SOMEONE IS GETTING PAID OFF UNDER THE RUG FOR IT TO BE SUCH A HIDDEN DILEMMA. PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE OF CONCERN OUT TO ALL INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES TO GET OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES PROTECTED. I HAD TO USE A VIN FROM A VEHICLE IF INTEREST FROM A SAMPLE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THIS COMPLAINT OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE NEGLECTED FURTHER. EMAIL: [XXX].REGARDING MY CONCERNS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY NAME IS [XXX] WHICH SUV CAN BE BOUGHT? REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
