MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE COMING HOME FROM A 15 HOUR TRIP TO OKLAHOMA WHEN THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. THE NEXT THING THAT CAME ON WAS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T LOSE POWER AND THEY DROVE ON TO A GAS STATION FOR FUEL AND RESTROOM BREAK. WHEN SHE GOT BACK IN THE CAR SHE TURNED THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE JUST KEPT TRYING TO CRANK ITSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE WHOLE TIME THIS WAS GOING ON THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE SHE GAVE UP AND CALLED SOMEONE TO DRIVE 2 HOURS PICK HER AND MY DAUGHTER UP SO THEY COULD GET HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO GET THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND GM AND THE DEALERS HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIX IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HASN'T RECALLED THE VEHICLES AS THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BUT HOW CAN GM GO ON KNOWING THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO LAWSUITS WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 07 CHEVY TAHOE LT & HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAC SYSTEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE CHEVY DEALER. ORIGINALLY ALL MY CAR DID WAS TURN OFF THE STABILTRAC AND SAY SERVICE STABILITAC THEN IT STARTED TO TURN IT SELF INTO SAFETY MODE WHERE IT REDUCES ENGINE POWER &WON'T LET YOU BASICALLY DRIVE,THEN IT STARTED LOCKING THE DOORS BY ITSELF I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIPS GARAGE TELL ME ITS A DIFFERENT ISSUE EVERY TIME, EVERYTHING FROM THE BEARINGS TO A TINY CORD. WELL MY CAR HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY PUT ITSELF IN SAFETY MODE FOR NO REASON&A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE GOING THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN IT SUDDENLY SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED SERVICE STABILTRAC AGAIN & SUDDENLY DROPPED MY RATE OF SPEED TO 15 MILES TO PER HOUR WITHOUT ANY PRE WARNING.I BARELY MADE IT TO THE NEXT LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER AND CAME SO CLOSE TO GETTING INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT I WAS SO SHAKEN.I LET MY CAR SIT FOR A MINUTE&LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO BEING FINE.I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT (AFTER A $200 BILL TO LOOK AT IT) THE NEXT DAY IT DID IT AGAIN THIS TIME ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH.I WAS SO SHAKEN UP WITH MY LITTLE GUYS IN THE CAR THAT I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CORP WHO AT FIRST SAID THEY WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOME 08 & NEWER TAHOES LIKE THIS THEN WHEN I ASKED THEM TO FIX MINE THEY RECANTED THEIR STORY SAYING THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM.I DECIDED TO RESEARCH IT MYSELF AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POSTS&FORUMS OF PEOPLE SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING. WHICH IS WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU, IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN MANY CHEVY/GMC CARS W/STABILITRAC THIS IS SOOOO DANGEROUS.TO HAVE YOUR CAR SUDDENLY REDUCE POWER TO 10-15 MILES PER HOUR (WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR WARNINGS TO PEOPLE BEHIND YOU) IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LOCKS GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT SUPPOSEDLY. I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KNEW EXACTLY THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. THEY REPLACED THE CABLES TO A COST TO ME OF $500!!! HE SAID THAT CHEVY KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL..ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!! THEY ARE LUCKY MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND THAT NOBODY WAS HURT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE FILED THE BIGGEST LAWSUIT THEY EVER SAW!!!! *TR

I NOTICED A COUPLE OF LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH AFTER PURCHASE. THIS VEHICLE IS PRONE TO DASH CRACKS DUE TO FAULTY PLASTIC (ONLINE RESEARCH). I'M CONCERNED THERE MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG. *TR

MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING FROM OUR STREET ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE NEARLY SHUT DOWN. HER SPEED WAS REDUCED TO JUST 5 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD FLASHED ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS WAS SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR IN THE LAST 18! WE TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR HAD FAILED AGAIN! WE ARE EXTREMELY UNEASY WITH THE CAR NOW SINCE EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, IT HAS BEEN WHILE ONE OF US WAS ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. ON THE PREVIOUS OCCASION, SHE HAD TO QUICKLY MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC...WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM VERY OFTEN, BUT NOT THIS MUCH IN ONE CAR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. *TR
