2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY CHEVROLET TAHOE, DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE PER SCHEDULE, LOSES ON QUART OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, SMOKING EXHAUST ETC. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE IGNITION WILL AT TIMES FAIL TO TURN OFF DESPITE REMOVING THE KEY. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL POP OUT OF CRUISE MODE FOR NO REASON AND WILL OFTEN FAIL TO REENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. LITHIA CHEVROLET IN REDDING REFUSES TO DISCUSS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, STATING IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT LITHIA REFUSES TO REPLACE.

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH A TAKATA AIRBAG. I CONTACTED LITHIA CHEVROLET (REDDING CALIF) WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG, STATING IT WAS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL AT THIS TIME.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (HERNDON CHEVROLET, 5617 SUNSET BLVD, LEXINGTON, SC 29072) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE ON 5/27/2016 TO DATE THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. NOTHING HAS OCCURRED TO DATE, WHEN DO YOU EXPECT A REMEDY???

TAKATA RECALL , PREVIOUS GM RECALL COMPLAINT #49152. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE NHTSA AND CHEVROLET WAS NOTIFIED OF MY REQUEST TO HAVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED. MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP (COUNTRY CHEVROLET) DENIED MY REQUEST TO HAVE AIRBAG TURNED OFF UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OBTAINED. EVERY TIME MY WIFE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SHE IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK. INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING THESE BIG FINES AGAINST THE COMPANIES, WHY DON'T THEY BUY THE AIR BAGS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES. DO YOU THINK THAT 18 MONTHS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME TABLE FOR FIXING A NATIONAL RECALL? IT IS NO WONDER THE AVERAGE CITIZEN IS SO DISGUSTED BY THE SNAIL LIKE PACE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORKS. IT SEEMS AS IF OUR GOVERNMENT AGREES WITH THESE BEHEMOTH CORPORATIONS THAT IT IS EASIER AND LESS COSTLY TO JUST PAY THE FAMILY AFTER THEY HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE THAN TO PROACTIVELY SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AROUND THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT CALLED VARA CHEVROLET (8011 INTERSTATE 35 ACCESS RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78224; 210-255-2153) WHO STATED THAT THE FRACTURE MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,110. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: UPON RECEIVING INITIAL NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN 2016, TWO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS IN AND NEAR BIRMGINGHAM, HENDRICKS AND EDWARDS BOTH STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS PENDING. UPON RECENT RECEIPT OF THE TK HOLDINGS CHAPTER 11 NOTICE, BOTH DEALERSHIPS ARE STILL STATING THEY ARE UNABLE TO HONOR THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER AND RECALL NOTICE STATE TO IMMEDIATELY REMEDY A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE ISSUE THROUGH A FREE REPLACEMENT AT A MANUFACTURER'S DEALERSHIPS, ALL SUCH DEALERSHIPS ARE STATING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ARE UNWILLING TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT. AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIPS IN QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ARE EDWARDS CHEVY IN BIRMINGHAM, AND HENDRICK'S CHEVROLET IN HOOVER.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL ON VEHICLE SINCE MAY 2016. NOW RECEIVING USPS MAIL WHERE MY INFORMATION HAS BEEN PASSED OVER TO A PRIVATE COMPANY TO WHICH I AM RECEIVING INFORMATION OF A BANKRUPTCY FILING AND MY RIGHTS ARE BEING TIMED WITH A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE CONCERNING MY VEHICLE (RECEIVED TIME LIMIT NOTICE 10/21/17). OVER A YEAR NOW, I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO FIND OUT ABOUT A RECALL BUT IT IS STILL STATED AS "STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V381, MANUFACTURE RECALL NUMBER 2049151). NOW I RECEIVED "IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE" WHERE OWNERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 27, 2017. YET, THE STATUS IS STILL "INCOMPLETE". I AM NOT WASTING MY TIME AT A DEALERSHIP TO RIP ME OFF WHEN I STILL HAVE NO STATUS OF RECALL TO STAY IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION. NOW, DUE TO THE ALLOWANCE OF BANKRUPTCY FILING, MY PATIENCE OF HANDLING THIS SITUATION IS COMING TO AN END AND I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I AM INJURED BY A KNOWN FAULTY PART IN MY VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDY SWIFTLY AND THE STATUS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED SO THAT OWNERS HAVE A WAY OF DEALING WITH THE SITUATION WITHOUT A DEALERSHIP TRYING TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM OWNERS WHO HAVE BEEN PUT IN A POSSIBLY HARMFUL SITUATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL A WHILE A GO AND CALLED MY CHEVROLET AND THEY INFORMED ME I WOULD GET A CALL TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN AND I NEVER RECEIVED NO CONTACT. TWO WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE AND I CONTACTED SALINAS CHEVROLET AND THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE AND THEY WONT SCHEDULE ME AN APPOINTMENT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, IM VERY WORRIED AS THIS VEHICLE IS MY FAMILY CAR AND MY DAUGHTER AND MY WIFE AND SELF DO NOT FEEL SAFE.
