2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAS FAILED ON MY 08 CHEVY TAHOE ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. THE TWO OTHER TIMES WERE THE DRIVER'S DOOR. CHEVROLET REPLACED THE ACTUATOR THE FIRST 2 TIMES BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

AROUND FEBURARY OF THIS YEAR MY VEHICLE BEGIN TO IDLE OUT OF CONTROL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO GUN OFF EVERTIME I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, ACCORDING TO GM THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND SAID THEY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY FOR MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. MY CAR DID EXACTLY WHAT GM SAID IT WOULD DO TO CONFIRM IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT DENIED THE ISSUE CLAIMING IT WAS A LOOSE VACUM HOSE AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT OPERATE AS IT SHOULD WHICH I KNOW IS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE CONFIRMED THE SAME ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY GM KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT CHOOSES TO GO AROUND IT BY CALLING IT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH MAKES THE REPLACEMENT CONDITIONAL. I AM 100% SURE THAT I AND MILLLIONS OF TAHOE OWNERS KNOW THIS SHE BE A RECALL AND NOT A SO CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO GET AROUND THE EXPENSE OF MAKING A RECALL. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURED I WENT FLYING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MINIMAL ABILITY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, I HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP BY RIDING MY BREAKS BECAUSE THE VEHICLES THROTTLE BODY WOULD NOT LET THE TRUCKS RPM GO BELOW X3000. GM IS CONTINUING TO IGNORE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND WILL UNTILL SOMEONE DIES INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBLILTY AND MAKING THE RECALL TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN MAJOR STREET AND FRONT LEFT TIRE BRUSHED CURB AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT AND NO DAMAGE TO ANY PART OF VEHICLE. *TR

AS SOON AS WE DROVE OUR USED 2008 TAHOE OFF THE DEALER LOT WE HAD A TAIL LIGHT OUT THAT THEY CLAIM WAS JUST A LIGHT BULB BLOWN BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE DASH CRACKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY FROM END TO END AND IT IS GARAGED UNLESS WE ARE OUT DRIVING AROUND SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR IT TO CRACK. THE DRIVER SIDE CHROME DOOR HANDLE IS PEELING AND HAS CUT OUR HANDS. WE'VE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AS WELL. THIS WHOLE TRUCK IS A LEMON! THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START AND KEPT THROWING A CODE "SERVICE SECURITY THEFT SYSTEM." HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM SAYING WHAT IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH IT NOW. *JS

I HAD JUST PULLED UP IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY RESIDENCE HEADING INSIDE AN I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE VECHILE! WHEN I WENT TO SEE THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON BOTH SIDE DEPLOYED! I CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY DIDN'T COVER IT SO CONTACTED GM AN THEY DECIDED TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO THE PLACE WHERE THE TRUCK WAS TOWED! NOW GM DECIDED IT WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AN THEY GONNA FIX IT! THE TRUCK COULD BE READY ANYTIME NOW THEY WERE WAITING ON A BACKORDER PART TO COME IN. IM STILL THINKING IF THIS VEHICLE IF SAFE FOR ME AN MY FAMILY. *TR
