This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I own a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. One morning while driving, I applied my brakes and changed lanes to avoid getting hit. My side curtain air bags deployed without any explaination. I called GM to report the incident, they sent an investigator who came out the very next day to inspect my vehicle. He took pictures of my vehicle and downloaded the sensor information. The GM manager told me that the air bags deployed as they should have in an event of a rollover. It was evident that the rollover never happened as there was no other damage to my vehicle. GM denied any fault and denied my claim to get the air bags and my seat belts fixed. I contacted my insurance company, who also inspected my vehicle and replied that the car had a mechanical malfunction and that GM should be liable for my damages. GM has closed my claim and will not talk to me any more. GM has done nothing to correct this failure in my opinion. My vehicle is still under GM extended vehicle warranty and they are not willing to fix it under that claim either.
The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 55 mph the side air bags of both the front and rear of the vehicle deployed. The contact stated that he was not involved in any crash nor did he hit any debris. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they informed him of the repairs and that he would be responsible for the repair cost. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that an inspector would inspect the vehicle but did not say when. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
