The air ride control module under the spare tire in the rear of the vehicle has deteriorated and the connections melted so I had to disconnect the module I noticed smoke from underneath the rear of my vehicle I believe if I did not disconnect the module there would have been a fire i have the module that I can send pictures to you of the plug the connection and the deteriorating module these vehicles are supposed to be made to be used in the upstate weather and to leave a important piece of electrical equipment out like that is nonsense and to replace the module is approximately 500 without me going to the dealership.
When driving I hear a winding sound in my speakers when I accelerate. My radio is off when this happens. Also my drivers seat belt will not stay latched. Keeps coming updone when correctly fastened.
The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, while depressing on the brake pedal the vehicle failed to stop. The contact stated that the ABS, brakes, traction control and stability trac warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated he was able to come to a slow stop. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed of an unknown electronic issue. The contact called the local dealer Chevrolet of montebello (310 w whittier blvd, montebello, ca 90640, (323) 271-3453) and made the dealer aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
While at a stop light or stop sign, while engine is on, at a complete stop while the vehicle accelerates the gas the vehicle completely conks out. The vehicle cannot catch speed after it comes to a stop. I am stuck in the middle of traffic at the light or at the stop sign. Check engine light is on.
There has been a recall on my airbags for years. For about 2 weeks now my service airbag message has been on. It came on when I started my car one day and has remained there. The 2nd issue is something electrical. I can be driving and I'll lose all power and lights/radio for 5-20 seconds and then pop back on. That has happened numerous times. Or I'll get out of my car and go to lock it and have no power. Both times that has happened, I popped the hood and the power came back on without me doing anything.
When traveling above 30 mph then decelerating, once the car gets to around 15-20 mph it jumps forward. It's similar to when you drive a stickshift and take your foot off the clutch and the car jumps forward as if it might stall. It doesn't happen regularly. If I decelerate very quickly, then it does not do it. If I decelerate slowly then it does not do it. It has to be somewhere in between and the car is confused between staying in gas mode or switching to hybrid mode and auto stop. The car then jumps forward when confused.
Tahoe middle seat belt buckles have all come apart. I contacted local Chevy dealer and they said it's not safe to drive uh no sh?! once again cracks on dashboard by passenger airbags and all over ridiculous! middle console started to smoke on 4/2018 and I have to have everything disconnected.

This year model has a serious defective problem with the gas accelerator malfunctioning. I have spoken to dozen of friends and family with this year model and above an all have problems with the gas pedal. This will lead to someone being killed if not addressed by the builder of the truck. The pedal sticks when driving, thus causing you to accelerate when driving. I have almost ran into the vehicle in front of me. I have asked family and friends with the same type of truck and they too have has this problem.
2008 Tahoe 2mode hybird 6.0L trim: HY2 with electrical power assisted steering freeway off ramp 45-50mph A/C was on at the time medium setting radio was on at the time engine running issue. Had a momentary loss of power steering in "emergency " maneuver... not only did the SUV keep going straight the wheel locked up(like if it was off and would not move at all) everything was fine after that momentary loss of epas was able to come to a complete stop without accident... I had a good following distance from the car in front of me and they moved out of the way (fast)so did I. (look like they were moving out of the way of a object in the road) anyways no object in the road.. I did notice there was a recalled issued for the 2015+ model electrical power assisted steering but not for the 2008-2013 2mode hybrids that are equipped with electrical power assisted steering example: 2mode hybird Chevy Tahoe 2008-13 GMC Yukon 2008-13 Cadillac escalade 2009-13 GMC serria 2009-13 Chevy Silverado 2009-13
I drove my vehicle in the morning and then parked it for about 2.5 hours. When I started my vehicle the gas gauge showed my car was empty, even though I had just recently filled up and had only gone about 80 miles on the tank, my airbag readiness light stayed on, and none of my gauges were functioning. Also, the light for the passenger air bag above my review mirror didn't illuminate at all. I drove it for a few seconds and tried turning it off and then back on, but nothing changed. After driving it for a few miles, I parked and turned the vehicle off again. When I turned it back on, everything began working again. I believe this is an electrical issue, but when taken to the dealership, I could not get it to replicate the issue. Besides the obvious danger of not having any gauges while driving, my fear is that the airbags would not work properly in an accident.
Takata recall. I have received two recall notice in the mail and took them to my dealer that I get services done, and they keep tell me that they don't have the repair part. I contacted Chevrolet cooperate head quarter and spoke to them regarding these letters, and all they say is that they know about the recall, but no parts is available for my vehicle yet.
All ip warning lamps illuminated, loss of power, stalling, gage fluctuation, intermittent door lock operation. Vehicle was in motion on highway when this occurred. Error codes include U0073, U0121M U0101, U0242 ( from dealership analysis). Cause unknown. Vehicle has been in dealership more than 7 weeks without cause of problem not isolated. Technician stated crackling sound when grasping wiring in dashboard area. Loss of communication between control module and various components occurs within one (1) to five (5) seconds. Chevrolet issued tech bulletin #08-07-30-021E. Dealership has followed this bulletin without correcting the problem.
"takata recall" my 08 Tahoe's instrument panel and gauges are failing to work at times. My speed gauge, gas and RPM gauge just stopped working. They started back, but I think it's a safety issue due to the fact I was driving it when it happened. I am just trying to find out and report the problem. The oil gauge never came back on, is there anyway you shed some light on this issue? I was driving on the highway when everything started.
Cracked dashboard that affects airbags and electric wiring associated to dash and dashboard components. Causes visual images on windshield when driving making it a hazardous situation. There is two cracks on this dash which over time will cause tremendous issues with safety issues associated to the wiring and safety airbags.
Takata recall on my vehicle - why is taking so long to remedy this recall? I also have a few other issues I want to mention. I bought my Tahoe in July 2016, my dash is cracking on the driver's side and from what I've read, this is very common and GM is ignoring the issue. My vehicle also started taking off on its own, took extra pressure to stop & RPM would fluctuate sporadically. After contacting a dealer, I was told there was campaign to replace the throttle body sensor but it had expired while the previous owner had possession and was told I'd have to pay for the repair and would possibly have to replace the throttle body. After replacing the sensor, my vehicle's RPM still fluctuates upon stopping and idle is rough. Very upset Chevrolet customer now.
