Collapsed lifter number 7, regularly fowls out the number one plug, spider gear in the rear end shredded had to be rebuilt, replaced valve cover because of oil issue, replaced oil pressure sending unit, replaced back wiper, passenger side door locks dont work with button or remote, clock quit working, engine light on again
Motor mounts were broken what's resulted in the vehicle lunging me forward when coming to a stop. The check engine light for the hybrid battery also came on. The result is the car shaking and shutting off more than once when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. Once was in a very busy intersection. It shut off when coming out of a bank parking lot and turning on to a busy street.
My complaint towards my 2008 Chevy Tahoe hybrid is while driving my trucks stalls, twice already while driving off a parking lot onto the street it has shut off on me. Is getting to a point that I am afraid to drive it, I took it to the Chevy place they kept it for 8-10 through 8/17, pick it up and the very next day the truck began stalling, dropped it off on a Monday 8/21, called the service department on Friday 8/25 and they said they can't fix it but they are going to keep it over the weekend to see what they can do. I love my truck but afraid of it...I feel I am risking my life and the lives of the other drivers while I am on the rode.

Sirius xm signal is not working and I have had the dealer do a reboot/reset on the radio. The reset worked for 2-3 months when I took it to gilchrist Chevrolet in Tacoma wa. I have lost signal again and dealership is not very helpful with this type of situation. Sirius xm points their finger at GM and GM is pointing their finger at sirius xm. I just want my radio to work. Dealership does not seem knowledgeable about hybrid cars that GM manufactured.
Rear door locks (actuators) stopped working. First passenger rear lock failed to open or close. This happened after warranty coverage had ended. After some research I have found out that this is a widespread GM issue especially with 2008-09 GM SUV type of vehicles. My understanding is that the actuator motor fails. It is also my understanding that this electrical failure is due to a very inexpensive electrical actuator is used for the locking mechanism. This is a real safety issue and I am wondering when GM will be held accountable.

Immediately, the computer system reset itself; however, the failure recurred the following day.

Complete vehicle failure - GM has admitted that they are at a loss as to how to fix the many errors (22) that show up on diagnostics. It was towed 3 times in 5 days & has now been at the dealership for 2 weeks & is still not functional.
