2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

1# TAKATA INFLATORS REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE WITH NEW PART NUMBER.. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT INSISTING IT'S SAFE IT'S 100F EVERY DAY HERE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT .. THEY BOOST BIG CLAIMS IT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE..WHICH IS LAUGHABLE AT BEST IT SEEMS LIKE HIGH HEAT IS A ISSUE FOR THESE AIR BAGS BEING BAKED AT 140F FOR MOST OF THE DAY WE DEMAND A NEW AIR BAG WITH THE NEW PART NUMBER AS THEY SELL TO THE PUBLIC FOR $450 #2 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES PEELING RAZOR LACERATION HAZARD.. SHARP PEELING OF DOOR HANDLE COATING IS SHARP (LACERATION HAZARD RESULTING FROM SHARP EDGES IN THE CHOME PLATING ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES) THE VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS ATTACHED PHOTOS OF DOOR HANDLES GM AND GM DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX IT AS THEY CLAIM IT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING A DOOR HANDLE IS NOT A KNIFE ... OR RAZOR BLADE WE KNOW THE RISK OF THOSE WHEN THEY ARE HANDLED NOT A DOOR HANDLE ITS NOT NORMAL FOR A DOOR HANDLE TO BE "SHARP" OR BECOME SHARP.. SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS DEFECT .. 3 OF THE 4 DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING WITH SHARP EDGES VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 89K MILES I HAVE TO ALWAYS CAREFULLY EXIT AND LET PASSENGERS KNOW ABOUT THE SHARP DOOR HANDLES THIS CREATES AN UNNECESSARY HAZARD FOR CUTS TO THE HAND OR ARM...

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (RADLEY CHEVROLET, 3670 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDRICKSBURG, VA 22408, 540-898-4000). THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

TAKATA RECALL SITE SAYS RECALL IS "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" HOW DO I SCHEDULE A FIX IF THE DEALER WILL NOT CONFIRM IT IS A VALID RECALL?

VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES GO IN REVERSE WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR AND VICE VERSA. VEHICLE WILL DIE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT AND/OR PARKING LOTS. VEHICLE JERKS VIOLENTLY UPON ACCELERATION. SUSPENSION POPS, STABILITRACK SERVICE, HYBRID SYSTEM SERVICE, BRAKE SERVICE ALL ILLUMINATED ON DASH ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWING THE VIOLENT JERKING AND DYING UPON ACCELERATION.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, AND THE STEERING PUT VERY HARD, SO I CAN'T GO FOR NOTHING ON LEFT OR RIGHT SO I WAS VERY LITTLE TO HAVE CRASHED

AIRBAGS DO NOT DEFLATE UPON IMPACT AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORT CIRCUIT ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND HARNESS ELECTRICAL SHORT

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE PSAN INFLATORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD CAUSE SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. AT THIS POINT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, HOWEVER THIS SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY CHEVROLET.

"TAKATA RECALL" CAR DEALER WONT TAKE MY VEHICLE FOR A TRADE IN BECAUSE THERE IS A PENDING RECALL BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS SINCE MAY 2016. CALLED GM, THEY SAY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT NOT SAFE TO TRADE IN.

CRACKS ON MY DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE DRIVER BEZEL AREA. IT SEEMS THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WERE TO EVER BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE.

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.

SUDDEN FAILURE OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. NO WARNING, NO ALARMS, WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEED AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED....BUT COULD HAVE. POST INCIDENT I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL NOTICE OR TSB FOR MY VEHICLE, YET OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAVE NOTICES. THE TAHOE HYBRID SHOULD HAVE ONE.

'TAKATA RECALL" -- VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD. SHOULD BE ON TOP OF RECALL LIST. ALTHOUGH NOT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, PERIODS OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER EXISTS WHERE I LIVE; THIS CONDITION, AS STATED IN THE RECALL, CAN ADD TO THE INCREASE DEGRADE OF AIRBAG. I HAVE LEARN THAT IF VEHICLE IS OVER 6 YEARS, OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. RECALL IS ALMOST 8 MONTHS OLD. REPAIR SHOULD EXISTS BY NOW.

WHEN DRIVING AROUND AND AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WILL GO INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND THEN LURCH FORWARD. VEHICLE WILL ALSO GET A HIGH IDLE BETWEEN 1500 RPM AND 2200 RPM AND FLUCTUATE BETWEEN THOSE RPMS. ALSO WHEN IDLING BELOW 1,000 RPMS THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND DOWN AS IF PRESSURE IS BEING APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO PRESSURE BEING APPLIED AT ALL. BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND I FIGURED IT WAS JUST SOME BAD FUEL BUT IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT. ALSO HAVE NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I HAVEN'T TAKEN TO DEALER YET BECAUSE I AM WAITING ON THE SUPPLIES FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL SO THEY CAN WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHILE REPLACING THE AIR BAG. *TR

90K MI. POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR SHAFT BREAKS OFF, DISABLES POWER STEERING 100% AS TRUCK WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=L7CPHPUD53I

87K MI LIFTER CYLINDER 4 COLLAPSED AND NEVER RE FILLED DUE TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM SHUTTING OFF THE OIL AND FUEL TO THIS CYLINDER (ELECTRONIC FUEL MANAGEMENT). AS A RESULT THE LIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, LIFTER ARE LOCATED UNDER THE HEAD.

VEHICLE WILL JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AT TIMES AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AT TIMES BY ITSELF WITOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR. DEALER CLAIMS IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY BUT CANNOT REPLICATE PROBLEMS. I DISAGGREE WITH DEALER AND THINK VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS.

OUT SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS, WILL NOT OPEN AND CLOSE, USING INSIDE SWITCH. HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS TO ADJUST MIRRORS. THIS IS DONE WHEN ENTERING OR BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE.

WHEN I START MY 2008 LTZ TAHOE THE SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM?

ITS ABOUT A CORNER I HAVE JUST GOT A USED CHEVY TAHOE HYBIRD 2008 AT A DEALER IN NJ WITH 30 DAY WARRANTY, AND NOW THE DOORS FROM LR-DRIVER LEFT REAR AND RR-PASSENGER SIDE REAR LOCK DOESNT OPEN OR LOCK! HAD MY FRIEND IN BACK AND DOORS DIDNT OPEN FROM NO WAY!! HOPE IN GOD THAT THERES A FIRE OR EMERGENCY HOW DOES MY KIDS,FAMILY GET OUT? THATS MY PROBLEM. I THINK IN EVERY CASE SAFETY IS ALWAY FIRST! AND HOPE CHEVY SHOULD FIX IT AS A RECALL!!

WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE/VIBRATE AS IF THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED WHEN I GOT TO WORK, AND EVEN WHEN PLACE THE VEHICLE IN TO PARK AND PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE SAME VIBRATION HAPPENED. I RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO DRIVE ON HWY TO GET THERE KEPT AT MIN SPEEDS AS POSSIBLE AND NOT USING BRAKES AT ALL. WHILE APPROACHING AN EXIT RAMP, I APPLIED MY BRAKES THEY LOCKED UP ( IT REALLY SCARED ME) THEN THE ABS VIBRATING CAME BACK AGAIN. AS I WAS APPROACHING MY HOUSE AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN FOUND I HAD NONE HAD TO USE EMERGENCY FOOT BRAKE TO STOP. AFTER OVER NIGHT ON MY DRIVEWAY ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK KIND OF WITH THE SAME ABS VIBRATION PROBLEM. DROPPED IT OF AT THE DEALER AT VALLEY BUICK GMC ON SAT 06/28/14, ON MONDAY THE DEALER TELLS ME ITS A BPMV BRAKE PRESSURE MODULAR VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WILL TAKE 3-4 WEEKS TO GET THE PARTS. 1ST OF ALL IT WAS SCARY ENOUGH TO LOSE THE BRAKES AND NOW 2 WEEKS LATER RENTING A CAR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET $600 OUT AND NOW GOING ONTO 3RD WEEK ANOTHER $250 EXPENSES, AS OF TODAY 7/14/14 DEALER PART SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE SHIPPED. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE (THEY HAVE TO WAIT TILL ENOUGH PEOPLE DIE OR GET HURT), SO THEY TRANSFER ME TO THE DEALER THAT HAS MY VEHICLE WITH NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME. I LOVE THE HYBRID TAHOE BUT THIS IS HOW GM TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS I DON'T THINK I WILL

I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING AND HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO ROBBINS CHEVROLET. *TR

WHEN STARTED (USUALLY THE SECOND TIME OF THE DAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN TO WORK AND THEN HAVING SAT ALL DAY) THE VEHICLE COUGHS AND RUNS ROUGH FOR A SECOND. THEN THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO INPUT FOR A VARIABLE PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN IT DOES RESPOND IT MAY RESPOND TO PREVIOUS INPUT CAUSING UNANTICIPATED ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD TO USE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID A CRASH. THROWS NO CODES. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE REPRODUCED IT. IN ADDITION, AN INDEPENDENT SHOP SAYS THAT ON START/RESTART THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE IN THE STARTER/TRANSMISSION (THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IN THE TRANSMISSION IS USED AS A STARTER). DEALER DENIES HEARING THIS ALTHOUGH THE INDEPENDENT SAYS IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. *TR

STARTED CAR, PUT IN GEAR, DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. NO VACUUM ASSIST AND THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO STOP EVEN AT A ROLLING SPEED. THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITRACK INDICATOR LIGHT, ABS WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DISPLAYED ON ODOMETER SCREEN: SERVICE STABILITRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES SOON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS, WITH REPEATED CALLS TO GM ENGINEERS, WHO FIRST RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH COST $1000 AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, THE ENGINEERS APPARENTLY SAY IT IS THE HYBRID BRAKE VALVE MODULATOR THAT HAS FAILED, WHICH WILL COST ADDITIONAL $2300; HOWEVER, THE DEALER CANNOT GET THE PART AND NOT SURE IF THIS WILL FIX IT. THIS HYBRID BRAKING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS!! I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT FULL SPEED. IN READING FORUMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THE NHTSA READS THIS WITH ALL THE RECALLS AND COVERUPS THAT GM HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

GM IS REFUSING TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER UNDER WARRANTY MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW AND APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS OF MASSACHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, VERMONT, AND MAINE. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT RESPONSE. THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY TRAK WARNING INDICATORS AND THE SERVICE BRAKE SOON WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY ALTHOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPUTER SENSOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ELEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT CLOSED THE DOOR AND IT REMAINED CLOSED WITHOUT THE FAILURE RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,859.

THE AUTOMATED DOOR LOCKS FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS. VERY DANGEROUS IF ONE NEEDS TO EXIT OR ENTER THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR NATURE ON LINE. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH VEHICLES APPROACHING FROM SEVERAL DIRECTIONS, I APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT FOUND I HAD NONE. FORTUNATELY, THE OTHER CARS NOTED MY SITUATION AND STOPPED FOR ME. THERE WAS A GM DEALER ONE BLOCK AWAY, SO I SLOWLY DROVE THERE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND I HAD BRAKES AGAIN. I SLOWLY DROVE TO VILLAGE CHEVROLET WHICH WAS NOT FAR AWAY. I WAS TOLD THE EBCM AND BPMV WERE NOT BUILING PRESSURE FOR THE BOOSTER. THEY SERVICED AND REPROGRAMMED AND DELIVERED THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY. ON JANUARY 14, 2013, WHILE DRIVING I NOTED THAT AGAIN I DID NOT HAVE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN A LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME SITUATION AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A STOP. AGAIN, VILLAGE CHEVROLET WAS NOT FAR AWAY SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE BPMV AND THE TANSMISSION AUXILIARY FLUID PUMP WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,700. IT IS OF CONCERN THAT NEW BRAKE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY IS SUCH THAT ONE CANNOT GAIN FUNCTIONAL BRAKE REPAIR AT A REASONABLE COST. THIS WAS MY SIXTH TAHOE FROM VILLAGE CHEVROLET BUT IT IS MY LAST GM PURCHASE. I UNDERSTAND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT VILLAGE CHEVROLET SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HAVE ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHY WOULD THE COMPANY NOT STAND BEHIND NEW MODELS WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR A BASIC NEED SUCH AS BRAKES. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH? NOW, WHILE BRAKING, I NOTE A DIFFERENCE IN PEDAL PRESSURE DURING THE BRAKING PROCESS. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT A DI

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ANY SLIGHT TURN OF THE WHEEL STAYS IN RATHER THAN TRACKING BACK TO CENTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING, HOWEVER I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT IN OTHER ELECTRIC VEHICLES. IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD AS MOST IF NOT ALL DRIVERS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO A STEERING WHEEL WHICH TRACKS BACK TO CENTER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS "BUMPED" SLIGHTLY OR WHEN MAKING A FULL TURN AS IN INTERSECTION TURNS. THE WHEEL IN A 90 DEGREE TURN WILL BEGIN TO TRACK BACK TO CENTER BUT STOPS SHORT OF IT. A POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE ADJUSTMENT WAS DONE BY THE DEALER BUT IT STILL DOES NOT TRACK BACK TO CENTER. YOU MUST MANUALLY TURN THE WHEEL TO GET IT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. *TR

2008 CHEVY TAHOE HYBRID. AUTO DOOR LOCKS QUIT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING - INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT THE PAST YEAR. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SUGGESTED REPLACING ACTUATORS. READ OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT SAID REPLACING ACTUATORS NOT A FIX - DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED & UNLOCKED AT WILL. ACCIDENT OR ASSAULT COULD BE LIFE & DEATH ISSUE. *TR
