2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I OWN A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4X4, I PURCHASED IT WITH 80000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I START THE CAR OR I AM DRIVING ALL MY GAUGES ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PASS BEYOND THE MAXIMUM LEVEL, EVEN MY SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES I WILL BE GOING 40MPH BUT IT IS MARKING 80MPH. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE, MY BATTERY GAUGE, MY FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE, EVEN MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE WORST PART IS THAT MY PRNDL AND INFO CENTER ALSO DISAPPEAR WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THEY RE- SOMETIMES AFTER FEW MINUTES SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS, OTHER MECHANICS SAID THAT GM HAS THIS ISSUE ON MOST OF THEIR TRUCKS AND SUVS. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVERS ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL YOUR GAUGES STOP WORKING OR WORK IMPROPERLY OR DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR SCREEN, I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AND GM SHOULD FIND A FIX FOR IT. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLS NO ELECTRICAL NOT EVEN HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AND RADIO STARTED TO STATIC AND THEN CAR STALLED WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON HAZARDS MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE THAT I WAS STALLED AND GOT VERY CLOSE TO HITTING MY TRUCK HAD TO CALL FOR HELP AS I WAS SITTING IN INTERSECTION HAD NO WAY OF TELLING THEM I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE HAD TO OPEN MY DOORS TO CALL ATTENTION TO DRIVERS. A DAY BEFORE I NOTICED THAT PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I PARKED VEHICLE AND IGNITION KEY TURNED OFF ALL ELECTRICITY WILL QUICKLY SHUT OFF INCLUDING RADIO. WHEN AT A NORMAL TIME RADIO WOULD STAY ON UNTIL DOOR OPENED. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE HAD FULL BODY THROTTLE REPLACED, BATTERY AND GROUND CABLES REPLACED AND STILL NOT FIXED VEHICLE ALSO SHAKES ALOT AT TIMES WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THERE WAS STATIC COMING FROM THE RADIO AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE STATIC FROM THE RADIO ALSO CAUSED THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS TO OPEN AND CLOSE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FULL BODY THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76127. RK

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ABOVE AIRBAGS CREATING VERY SHARP, JAGGED EDGES. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE EXPOSED SHARP PLASTIC EDGES CAN AND HAVE CUT FINGERS AND COULD ALSO DAMAGE THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

THE "CHROME" OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES BROKE. THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN NEED OF REPAIR FOR THE SECOND REPLACEMENT SET. *TR

THE CHROME PLATING ON THE DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SPLIT AT THE SEAM AND ALMOST CUT MY HAND....IT WOULD HAVE IF I HAD NOT NOTICED IT BEFORE I GRABBED THE DOOR TO OPEN IT. *TR

VEHICLE WON'T START, DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL ACTIVATED RANDOMLY, BATTERY NOT PROBLEM, ALL ELECTRICAL NOT WORKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY ACTIVATED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2 MONTHS. LAST TIME, BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND CAR WORKED FOR 2 MONTHS. BATTERY CHECKED 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER, BATTERY IS GOOD. HAD DOORLOCK PROBLEMS 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IN 2008. COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FIRST 4 TIMES, AND REIMBURSED ON 5TH TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL, SENSOR PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY BEFORE. READING OTHER COMMENTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR OTHERS AS WELL. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? DOESN'T SEEM LIKE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE RECEIVED SATISFACTION WITH THEIR ISSUES EITHER. WHAT IS CHEVY DOING TO RESOLVE? VEHICLE IS AT CHEVY DEALER NOW, AWAITING RESPONSE. IF THIS WAS TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF, THIS WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

A FEW YEARS AGO ALL THREE DOOR LOCKS WENT AT THE SAME TIME ON MY 2008 TAHOE. I TOLD MY DEALER THIS SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL. ASKED IF THERE IS A RECALL AND HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OTHER THAN TO TELL YOU IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO. A FEW MONTHS AGO LEFT BLINKER WONT WORK. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN. SAID TO BRING IT BACK AS THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO WORK ON IT AND THINK I NEEDED AN ENTIRE NEW FUSE BOX. SATURDAY OCT. 5, 2013 HEADLIGHTS CAME ON WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT. NEXT DAY IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. TRIED CHARGING IT AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT FUSES AND BATTERY. WEIRD MESSAGES KEEP POPPING UP ON DASHBOARD SUCH AS CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. IT WILL SAY REAR BUT ACTUALLY IT IS THE FRONT. SOMETIMES IT ISN'T ANY TIRE THAT IS LOW. CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED WHY THERE IS NO RECALL AND THEY SAID IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO. I RESEARCHED EDMUNDS.COM AND FOUND 454 MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. CHEVY SAID TO CONTACT YOU. *TR

AROUND 45,000 MILES ON MY 2008 TAHOE, A CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO GET WIDER EVER SINCE, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 66,000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASH IS ALSO NOW CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK IS QUICKLY WORKING ITS WAY FROM THE EDGE TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. CURRENTLY, IT IS HALFWAY THROUGH THE DASH BUT THE PLASTIC SHOWS SIGNS OF PRESSURE BUT HAS NOT CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH YET. GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND I'VE BEEN REFERRED TO MY DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT IT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND DEALER TOLD US THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
