2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

AFTER GETTING THE REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM GM, MY 2008 HYBRID TAHOE HAS HAD MULTIPLE EPISODES OF UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AT AROUND 30MPH AND WHEN REACHING AN INCLINE THAT REQUIRES SLIGHT ACCELERATION TO MAINTAIN SPEED, THE VEHICLE "FLOORS" ITSELF, DOWNSHIFTS AND ACCELERATES AGGRESSIVELY. I'VE HAD TO JUMP ONTO THE BRAKES TO AVOID LAUNCHING FORWARD. IF I HAD BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OTHER OBJECT, OR IF I HAD NOT BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION, THE TRUCK COULD EASILY HAVE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY CAUSING A CRASH. *TR

2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ HAS HAD SERVICE AIRBAG WARNINGS DISPLAYED SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT NEW FROM THE CHEVROLET DEALER. DEALER REPAIRED DAY OF PURCHASE AND IT WAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. WE'VE RECEIVED A DIFFERENT REPORT OF THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION EACH TIME FROM THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE MOST RECENT TIME, ONSTAR ACTUALLY CALLED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THEY WERE RECEIVING AIRBAG WARNINGS FROM THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO DATE, BUT WE ARE OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT WE WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. FEEL FREE TO CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. *TR

EXCESSIVE LINT BUILD UP ON EBONY CLOTH SEATS IN 08 CHEVY. TAHOE. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM - GM BULLETIN #07-08-50-018A, 10/02/2007 MODELS 2007AND 08 TAHOES AND MANY OTHER MODELS BUILT WITH CLOTH SEATS PRIOR TO 8/01/07. SUPPOSED TO RECOVER THE SEATS BUT AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS BACK AND FORTH WITH GM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR US. OUR TAHOE IS A 08, # . THE FABRIC SEATS PULL CLOTH FIBERS FROM ANY TYPE OF CLOTHING YOU ARE WEARING AND THE SEATS LOOK FILTHY ALL THE TIME. THE FIBERS ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE WITH A LINT BRUSH OR A VACUUM. IT ONLY TAKES GETTING IN AND OUT ONCE AND YOUR SEATS LOOK TERRIBLE. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AND IT IS DRIVING US INSANE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE FABRIC FIBERS FROM OUR CLOTHING ALL OVER THE SEATS. WE ARE VERY ANGRY THAT GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL FOR US AFTER REPLACING THE SAME FABRIC ON OTHER MODELS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR BULLETIN STATED PRIOR. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD CLOTH SEATS IN OUR VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THERE ARE MANY CHAT SIGHTS ON-LINE DEALING WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM ABOUT THE EBONY CLOTH SEATS. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY. AFTER ALL, THEY HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL ABSOLUTELY SCREWED OVER BY GM. *TR

AS STATED ON PREVIOUS CONSUMER REPORTS THE MPG ON THE CHEVY TAHOE 2008 IS FALSE I CAN'T GET NO MORE THAN 13 MILES TO THE GALLON & 15 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ON GMC. *TR

TIRE KEPT GOING LOW. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS AND BOUGHT BRAND NEW VEHICLE. TIRE IS SEPARATING... DEALERSHIP WILL ONLY REPLACE THE ONE TIRE WHERE I REQUESTED ALL BECAUSE ALL HAVE SAME DATA. *TR
