2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOESN'T NOT WANT TO LOCK. CANNOT LOCK THE DOOR BY PUSHING THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB OR LOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2009 TAHOE HAS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AND TWO OF THESE CRACKS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT EXPANDED CRACKING AND ULTIMATELY A PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH THAT AIRBAG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHEN UTILIZING THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.

AUTO DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THIS HAS CONTINUED THRU SEVERAL REPAIRS INCLUDING TODAY - 11/30/2012. *TR

ACTUATOR FAILED ON 3 OUT OF FIVE DOORS, SO FAR. SEVERAL FORUMS HAVE A LOT OF REPORTS OF FAILURE. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS. TODAY, I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET OVER $500 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE A DOCK IS LOCKED OR UNLOCK, WHICH POSES A SAFETY RISK FOR MY CHILD WHO COULD OPEN THE DOOR WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD; NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF SOMEONE ENTERING THE CAR WHILE IT IS STOPPED (ATTENDED OR NOT). *TR

THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS THAT ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN GEAR HAVE STOPPED WORKING. IF A PARENT RELIES ON THIS SYSTEM THE DOORS MAY NOT LOCK RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS A SYSTEM FAILURE... *TR

2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TRANSMISSION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTED CONSTANTLY, AND HARD. IT DIDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET. THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL MODULES AND SENSORS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP OR FLUCTUATE. IT DOES NOT OCCUR IMMEDIATELY, BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. ONCE THE BATTERY GAUGE DROPS MANY THINGS ARE AFFECTED. THE CAR HESITATES TO INCREASE SPEED, BRAKING IS AFFECTED, CRUISE CONTROL IS AFFECTED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN ON UNEXPECTEDLY AT TIMES. WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES AND ONCE IT GOES THE ENGINE PUTS OUT MORE THAN IS NEEDED OR EXPECTED. BRAKING IS SLOW AND PULSATES SLIGHTLY AS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING. THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND APPEAR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AND NOTHING WRONG WITH EITHER OF THEM. *TR
