2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AT TIMES I PRESS HARDER AND HARDER BEFORE THE AUTO STARTS TO MOVE AND IT THEN GOES MUCH TO FAST. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY STOP. IT IS EITHER IN THE ACCELERATOR OR THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SHIP CAN NOT MAKE IT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. *TR

I TOOK MY 2008 TAHOE IN FOR A DEAD BATTERY IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS IN WERE ON THE 5TH BATTERY EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY TAHOE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO START. ON THE LAST ONE IT WAS SCARY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND THE CAR WAS DEAD HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, I REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR AND I CALLED GM TECH SUPPORT AND THEY TOOK OVER MY CASE WITH THE DEALER DIRECTLY AFTER 8 DAYS AT THE DEALER THE GM TECH CALLS ME AND SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN TAC #10288937 TO REPLACE ALL BATTERY CABLES ON THE CAR, POSITIVE & NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLES, STARTER CABLES,ALTERNATORS CABLES, AND CABLES THAT GO TO THE MAIN FUSE BLOCK. I'VE HAD MY CAR BACK NOW FOR 1 WEEK AND SO FAR IT STARTING GOOD. IF MY PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES TO OCCUR I WILL HAVE NO CHOSE BUT TO FILE FOR LEMON LAW. *TR

ALL OF THE INDICATORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SOMETIMES READ '0' UPON INITIAL STARTUP. SOMETIMES BY TURNING THE IGNITION OFF, WITHDRAWING THE KEY, AND OPEN/CLOSE THE DOOR THEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF. HOWEVER THIS PROCEDURE MAY BE REPEATED UP TO 15 TIMES BEFORE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED OR, MORE OFTEN, IT ISN'T CORRECTED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILURE. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. ONCE LATCHED, DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK TO A SOFTBALL GAME WHEN I DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE SMELL GOT STRONGER. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD UNTIL I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. TWO CITIZENS THAT WERE WALKING BY NOTICED THE SMOKE AND HELPED ME OPEN MY HOOD AND ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS LATER FLAMES STARTED COMING UP OUT OF THE ENGINE BY THE UPPER RIGHT DRIVER'S SIDE. A GUY POURED POWERAIDE ON THE FLAMES AND IT WENT OUT. AFTER I MADE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND CALLED GM I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE HEATED WASHER FLUID THAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC ITEM AND I WAS INFORMED THEY HAD FIXED THIS RECALL IN JAN. OF 2009. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2009 NOT KNOWING THERE HAD EVER BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. GM HAS NOT EVEN SENT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THEIR COMPANY TO LOOK AT IT OR TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR OUT OF MY OWN POCKETS TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. *TR

MY VEHICLE 2008 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ 8 MONTHS OLD 16 K MILES ALL 4 ROTORS HAD METAL SHAVED AND GROVES FROM THE BRAKE PADS BUT THE PADS WAS 25 % WORN. CHEVY RESURFACE ROTORS AND REPLACE BRAKE PADS MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. IS THIS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC YES BUT THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE ROTORS JUST RESURFACE THEM. IS THERE A BATCH OF CHEVY ROTORS THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL? *TR

2008 CHEVY TAHOE DOES NOT HAVE A CHILD SAFETY SEAT HOOK IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT LEFT SIDE TO HOOK YOUR CHILD SEAT TO. I HAVE CALLED CHEVY AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THE MISSING PART ONLY THEY DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF A CHILD SEAT IN THAT LOCATION. THIS LOCATION IS NEXT TO THE LEFT DOOR THEY DO RECOMMEND YOU TO USE A CHILD SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR NEXT TO THE DOOR (?) SO YOU HAVE TO PLACE THE CHILD SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE DOOR AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT. SO IF YOU DO THIS YOU CAN NOT GET TO THE BACK THIRD ROW SEAT . THIS IS A MISTAKE THAT THEY LEFT OUT THE PART AND WILL NOT FIX. *TR

TURN VEHICLE IGNITION OFF TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR TO GET OUTI GET A FEW DINGS LIKE I HAVE LEFT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I CLOSE THE DRIVER DOOR, THE LIGHTS FLASH, HORN HONKS AND DOORS THEN LOCK. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE TWO LOCAL CHEVY DEALERS CANNOT MAKE IT REPEAT THIS ISSUE AND BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES THAT COME UP, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS MY TURN SIGNALS. I TURN ON A TURN SIGNAL, IT SHOWS UP GREEN, IT DOES NOT CLICK AT RANDOM TIMES. THIRD ISSUE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON WITH THE FLUIDS WHEN I HAVE THE SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION. I TOUCH NOTHING. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY HAVE SEEN ANY OF THESE ISSUES AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE RAN THE SERVICE BULLETINS AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. SO I HAVE A $50K VEHICLE THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOOK INTO BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND A "CODE". *TR

I HAVE EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW THAT I HAVE A CONSISTENT VIBRATION PROBLEM. TO DATE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERS HAVE REPLACED MY TIRES 3 TIMES, RIMS TWICE, NEW DRIVE SHAFT, NEW DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE, NEW STEERING SHAFT, AND BALANCED MY TIRES 7 TIMES. I STILL HAVE THE VIBRATION AND NOW GOING THROUGH LEMON CLAIM. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS I HAVE 2 LETTERS WHICH OUTLINE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS AND INCIDENTS. NOT ENOUGH ROOM ON HERE TO SUBMIT. *TR

2008 TAHOE LTZ - AUTOMATIC LOAD LEVELING AIR SUSPENSION IN THE REAR IS PRESSURED UP SO HIGH THAT IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO SUSPENSION IN THE REAR. IT WILL NOT ADJUST TO LOWER PRESSURE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. ON THE HIGHWAY SATURDAY, A ROAD THAT I HAVE TRAVELED MANY TIMES IN ANOTHER VEHICLE, I RAN OVER TWO SMALL BUMPS AND THE REAR END OF THE TAHOE BOUNCED OFF THE ROAD. HAD I NOT CORRECTLY CORRECTED I MAY NOT BE WRITING THIS. AGAIN, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. I WILL TAKE THE TAHOE IN TO MICHAEL CHEVROLET TOMORROW MORNING AND HOPE THEY CAN CORRECT THIS. IF NOT, CHEVROLET CAN HAVE THE TAHOE BACK. I SURE AS HECK WILL NOT BE DIVING IT IN THIS CONDITION. *TR
