2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DRAINED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT EVERY THREE MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE, THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

MY DASH DEVELOPED ONE CRACK, THAN TWO, THEN THREE, WITH NO IMPACT OR OBVIOUS REASON. I EVENTUALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY THE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS NOT UNCOMMON. THEY SPLIT THE REPAIR COST WITH ME, BUT I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THIS WAS FAR MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. WOULD WORK OCCASIONALLY. NOW, IT WON'T WORK AT ALL. HAS TO BE MANUALLY PULLED UP TO UNLOCK AND PUSHED DOWN TO LOCK. I NOTICED OVER 450 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS ABOUT THE ACTUATORS GOING OUT ON THEIRS TOO. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR

MY AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - AT AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE THIS IS CRAZY - I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG SENSOR IN ORDER TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER.....NOT HAPPY. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING TWO CRACKS IN MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE DASHBOARD, WHICH HAVE NOW INCREASED TO THREE. THIS HAS NOW LEFT THE ENTIRE PIECE ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DETACHED FROM THE REST OF THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, I NOW HAVE INSIDE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BROKEN, FALLEN THROUGH THE DASHBOARD COMPARTMENT AND FALLEN ON MY FEET AS I AM DRIVING. THE PIECES ARE VERY SHARP AND ARE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER PIECES THAT MAY FALL AND IMPEDE MY ABILITY TO OPERATE THE GAS OR BRAKES PROPERLY. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED IN THREE (3) LOCATIONS. ONE LOCATION IS NEAR AIR BAG AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT ENGAGE. DEALERSHIP AND GM DIRECTLY HAVE ADVISED THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY ON ITS OWN, OR COULD FAIL TO DEPLOY IF NEEDED, BOTH OF WHICH ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. DASH CRACKS ARE LARGE. THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BY A DEALERSHIP, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISABLE COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, REQUIRING TOWS ON TOO MANY OCCASIONS TO RECALL. ELECTRICAL ISSUES STILL REMAIN. I AM AFRAID THAT THE VEHICLE WILL CATCH FIRE, AS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE ENGAGED AND OPERATING WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. DOOR HANDLE ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. OTHER DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK, BUT DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DOOR HAS FAILED TO OPEN WHEN NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE CHROME COVERING COATING. THE COATING IS PEELING OFF AND IS VERY SHARP, RESULTING IN CUTS TO YOUR HANDS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FILE DOWN THE COATING, BUT HAVE FINALLY COVERED IT WITH DUCT TAPE TO AVOID FURTHER CUTS TO MY HANDS AND MY PASSENGERS HANDS. ON A COSMETIC NOTE, THE COATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL PEELING OFF. ALL OF THE ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ARE HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS AND GM HAS FAILED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO BEEN OVERCHARGED BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP FOR TIME EXPENDED ON REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

THERE ARE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED IF THE AIR BAG WILL PREMATURELY DEPLOY, OR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY AS DESIGNED WITH THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2008 TAHOE LTZ. THERE ARE COUNTLESS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WITH THE CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE ELECTRICALLY SYSTEM AND WHAT THE CRACKS MIGHT BE DOING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DASHBOARD BECAME CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAG AREA.
