2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT. THE VEHICLE HAS GENERAL GRABBER UHP TIRES, LINE SIZE 275/55/R20. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE RIM WAS FRACTURED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, THE TIRE EXPLODED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER INSPECTED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXHIBITED EXTREME TREAD WEAR. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. ON A LATER DATE WHILE ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE CONTACT UNEXPECTANTLY DROVE OVER THE CURB. LATER, HE NOTICED THE TIRE WAS CRACKED IN THE SAME AS THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS PREVIOUSLY. THE REAR TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRE DOT NUMBER AND THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 16,000.

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WORK INTERMITTENTLY IN MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAVE HAD THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOOKED AT IN THE PAST AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. RECENTLY MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK USING THE KEY FOB. THE ALARM IS SET AND ALL OTHER DOORS LOCK, EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, AS I USUALLY TRUST THAT THE DOOR IS LOCKED WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON. PLUS, I CAN HEAR THE OTHER DOORS LOCK AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO VISUALLY OR PHYSICALLY CHECK THAT ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED. LAST YEAR I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK AND THEN LOCK AGAIN. AT ONE POINT I HAD ACTUALLY GOTTEN OUT OF MY CAR, SHUT MY DOOR, THEN THE DOORS LOCKED, AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR TO ACCESS MY CHILDREN. THANK GOODNESS THE DRIVERS DOOR DID NOT LOCK. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND MANUALLY UNLOCK THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 10V240000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY, WHICH WAS TO DISCONNECT THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE, WAS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IN HIS STATE, THERE WERE ICY ROAD CONDITIONS AND THE HEATED WIPER FLUID WAS NECESSARY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,481. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,200.

2008 TAHOE FIRST SERVICE REPORTED A NOISE FROM THE CENTER OF VEHICLE AND PASSENGER REAR SIDE. SERVICE SAID NEEDED GREASE ON THE TRANSMISSION COLLAR AND THE SUSPENSION ON IN THE REAR. PROBLEM RECURS EVERY 6 TO 8 MONTHS. NEED PROBLEM RESOLVED. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. WOW - NOW THEY WILL TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HOW I CAN HAVE IT FIXED AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT ALL FOUR EXTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES WERE STUCK IN POSITION. THE OCCUPANTS WERE UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ACTIVATE THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS IN ORDER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO RELEASE THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE DOORS WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEYLESS REMOTE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATING UNIT FAILURE. TWO MONTHS AGO I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER MY DRIVERS DOOR WHEN IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL. I UNLOCKED IT WITH THE KEY AND TESTED THE LOCK MECHANICS AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DOOR WOULD NEITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK ELECTRONICALLY. GM REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. LAST WEEK THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. GM ONCE AGAIN REPLACED A DEFECTIVE LOCK ACTUATOR, PART # 25876390. THIS FAILURE IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK ELECTRONICALLY, A SMALL CHILD COULD INADVERTENTLY OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SINCE TWO OF THE FOUR ACTUATORS HAVE ALREADY FAILED, I AM SURE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE REST FAIL TOO. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK. IF MANUALLY PULLED UP, WOULDN'T LOCK. CHEVROLET FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY OTHER 3 DOORS ARE ALL THE SUDDEN NOT UNLOCKING. IF MANUALLY PULLED UP WILL NOT LOCK. CHEVROLET SAYS ITS THE ACTUATORS(?) DOOR LOCKS. I HAVE TO WAIT A FEW DAYS UNTIL THEY CAN SQUEEZE THE TRUCK IN TO REPLACE ALL THREE... *TR

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE @ 19,000 MILES. BACK BRAKES GRINDING WHILE DRIVING TO PENNSYLVANIA. THERE WAS NO WARNING IT HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY GAVE US A PRINT OUT OF ALL THESE ISSUES ON THE BRAKES AND GOT CHARGED $917.00 LATER. CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW BACK BRAKES WENT BEFORE FRONT BRAKES AND THEY GAVE US A STORY. *TR

THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS ACCELERATED SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENTS IN SIDE WINDS AND WHEN FOLLOWING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. THE SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT IS EXTREME ENOUGH TO CAUSE MILD DISCOMFORT FROM THE SAFETY BELTS AND WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR TO BE COME DISORIENTED. INCLEMENT WEATHER MAKES THE PROBLEM INTOLERABLE. *TR
