2008 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN STABILITRAC DISABLED ENGINE POWER REDUCED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SINCE SPEED WAS REDUCED. I HAD TO TURN OFF VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES TO LET THE ECM RESET THE FAULT. I DISTRACTED DRIVER REARENDED THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

SO I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK ITS GARAGE KEPT ALWAYS HAVE SUN VISOR ON WHEN IN THE SUN BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER. I FIRST NOTICED A SMALL CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAYBE A INCH AND WITH A MONTH IT'S CRACKED ALL THE WAY UP ALMOST AROUND TO THE FRONT. THIS IS NOT HE FAULT OF THE CONSUMER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS ON FACEBOOK, ON THE NEWS AND ALL SOCIAL MEDIA. GM NEEDS TO GET THIS RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE DASH OF MY TAHOE HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG, VENTS, AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND STILL CAUSES THE INDICATOR TO LIGHT UP BECUASE THE SENSOR FAILED.

DASH BOARD HAS THREE CRACKS IN IT AROUND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

KNOWN DEFECT IN 2007 THROUGH 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE DASHBOARD. DASHBOARD CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HOUSING CAUSING DEFECTS TO AIR BAG SYSTEM.

THE DASH HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS, EXPOSING THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. THE PLASTIC/FOIL OUTER COATING ON THE DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED AND PEELING AND HAVE CUT PEOPLE'S HANDS.

I HAVE 3 CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD THAT HAVE APPEARED OVER A COURSE OF APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. I HAVE 2 THAT ARE ABOVE MY ODOMETER AND ONE THAT IS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA OF THE DASH. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT IS MAKING CRACKLING NOISES AS IF IT IS SLOWLY SPREADING.

THERE ARE VERY LARGE CRACKS ON MY DASH BOARD, THE WORST ONE BEING AROUND THE AIRBAG PLASTIC COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH! YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE COVER SHOWING ALL OF THE COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH! THE CRACK THAT IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN RUNNING FROM THE DEFROSTER TO THE TOP BY THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS, ETC! I FEEL AS IF THESE CRACKS, SPECIFICALLY THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! WITHOUT CRASHING, THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL DEFLATE PROPERLY DUE TO THIS! I FEEL THAT TO FIND THIS OUT, IT SHOULD BE AT NO ONES EXPENSE! I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT & A CLAIM WITH GM A FEW MONTHS AGO ONLY TO BE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT GM CONTACTED ON MY BEHALF THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE IF I WANTED THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED! THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $850 TO $1000 TO HAVE THE DASH REPLACED! THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THAT THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE TAHOES BECAUSE THEY HAVE REPLACED SOME DASHES! GM IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT & REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ARE ALSO FACING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRUCKS & SUVS! PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING & ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY & CHEAP MADE DASH BOARDS! THANK YOU! *TR

A CRACK STARTED TO FORM ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK HAS SPREAD AND HAS CAUSED PRESSURE AND STRAIN ON OTHER PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD LEADING TO MAJOR CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC ALL THE WAY FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH 'HUMP' ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH THE CHEVY TAHOE MODEL FROM 2007-2011. THE CRACKS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THEY ARE STARTING FROM AND ARE SURROUNDING THE AIRBAGS. ANY DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS ARE AT RISK OF MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS POSSIBLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO PASSENGERS DUE TO THE CRACKED PIECES POTENTIAL OF BREAKING OFF AND BEING HURLED AT PASSENGERS UPON IMPACT/DEPLOYMENT. GM SHOULD RECALL THESE MODELS AND FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE.

DASH, RADIO LIGHTS NOT WORKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE AIR BAG. THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO DISINTEGRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DASHES ON A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF 1500-3500 SERIES TAHOE, SUBURBAN, YUKON, SIERRA AND SILVERADO MODEL VEHICLES FROM GM ARE CRACKING ALL OVER THE DASH. THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR VINYL SHRAPNEL BEING LAUNCHED AT PASSENGERS IN THE CABIN UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE CRISIS FACED BY TOYOTA. GM IS NEGLECTING THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS BY ALLOWING THIS TO OCCUR. THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME CRACKS, DOWN TO THE SIZE AND EXACT LOCATION, CONSTITUTES A DESIGN FLAW IN THE LOCATION OF THE MOUNTING POINTS WHICH IS CAUSING UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT AS WELL AS POINT STRESSES. IF THIS PIECE WAS PROPERLY ENGINEERED IT WOULD DISTRIBUTE STRESS AND FLEX PROPERLY TO AVOID THE PLASTIC MODE OF FAILURE TO WHICH THEY ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING. UPDATED 12/12/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAGS WERE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKING ABOVE AND AROUND AIRBAGS PUTTING PASSENGERS IN HARMS WAY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE REPORTED BUT GM HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE AS OF YET. PLEASE PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS AS IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I'D LOVE TO CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS BUT MY FAITH IN THEIR QUALITY IS WANING!

I HAVE HAD MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE TO THE DEALERS 4 TIMES DUE TO STABILATRACK LIGHT COMES ON, THEN MY WINDOWS CONTINUE TO CLICK BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING WINDOWS WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ON THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE MEGA FUSE AND REPLACED IT. EVERYTHING SEEMED FIXED. I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND PULLED IT OUT APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS LATER TO GET TO MY SHELVES AND WHEN I WENT TO PULL IT BACK IN THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER YET DUE TO THE EXTREME COSTS THAT I HAVE CONTINUED TO PAY THE PREVIOUS TIME FOR IT NOT TO BE FIXED.. IT EFFECTS THE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO THE VEHICLE.

ALL SIX SIDE AIRBAGS ON OUR 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE DEPLOYED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THEIR REAR CAR SEATS. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, BUMP, POT-HOLE OR ANY OTHER REASON APPARENT TO US WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. IT WAS COMPLETELY RANDOM. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND MY WIFE MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP, BUT SHE WAS STUNNED AND DISORIENTED. THE DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE IS EXTENSIVE. IN ADDITION TO REPLACING SIX AIRBAGS, LIGHT FIXTURES, PLASTIC MOLDING, THE ROOF PANEL AND FABRIC/LINER ARE ALL DAMAGED. AT THIS POINT, THE DEALER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED AFTER 2 DAYS. WE BELIEVE THIS IS NOT ONLY A PRODUCT LIABILITY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR, BUT ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE ALL VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A SINGLE OR MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT, INJURIES RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT, OR INJURIES RELATED TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WE NEED HELP TO ENSURE GM ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE PROACTIVELY, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

I BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING, THROTTLE SENSOR IS GOING OFF, FUEL SENSOR IS OFF AS WELL. THE LOCKS ARE GETTING STUCK ON MY REAR DOORS. THE LOCKS STARTED TO CLICK ON & OFF YESTERDAY. WIRING SYSTEM IS JACKED. MY SPEAKERS DON'T WORK. MY MOTHER HAS THE SAME TRUCK YEAR AND MODEL AND IS DOING THE SAME THINGS.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2009 FROM ROSS DOWNING CHEVROLET DASH BOARD WAS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES.WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE EXCEPT TO REPLACE IT AT A COST OF ABOUT 800 DOLLARS.TWO OF THE CRACKS IS AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS.

APRIL, 2015 I NOTICED SMALL CRACK IN RIGHT SIDE OF DASH IN FRONT OF PASSENGER AND LARGER CRACK IN DRIVER DASH. MAY 2015 THE CRACKS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER. THE VEHICLE LIVES IN A GARAGE IN FLORIDA WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. IT IS NOT PRIMARY VEHICLE DRIVEN. DASH PAD WAS REPLACED BY PALM CHEVROLET IN OCALA, FLORIDA ON JUNE 2, 2015. THE COST WAS $721.41..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DRAINED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT EVERY THREE MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE, THE BATTERY LIGHT AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

MY DASH DEVELOPED ONE CRACK, THAN TWO, THEN THREE, WITH NO IMPACT OR OBVIOUS REASON. I EVENTUALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD BY THE ADVISOR THAT THIS WAS NOT UNCOMMON. THEY SPLIT THE REPAIR COST WITH ME, BUT I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THIS WAS FAR MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. WOULD WORK OCCASIONALLY. NOW, IT WON'T WORK AT ALL. HAS TO BE MANUALLY PULLED UP TO UNLOCK AND PUSHED DOWN TO LOCK. I NOTICED OVER 450 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS ABOUT THE ACTUATORS GOING OUT ON THEIRS TOO. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THEFT SYSTEM FAILED TO DEACTIVATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

MY AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - AT AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE THIS IS CRAZY - I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG SENSOR IN ORDER TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER.....NOT HAPPY. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING TWO CRACKS IN MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE DASHBOARD, WHICH HAVE NOW INCREASED TO THREE. THIS HAS NOW LEFT THE ENTIRE PIECE ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DETACHED FROM THE REST OF THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, I NOW HAVE INSIDE COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BROKEN, FALLEN THROUGH THE DASHBOARD COMPARTMENT AND FALLEN ON MY FEET AS I AM DRIVING. THE PIECES ARE VERY SHARP AND ARE A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER PIECES THAT MAY FALL AND IMPEDE MY ABILITY TO OPERATE THE GAS OR BRAKES PROPERLY. *TR

DASH IS CRACKED IN THREE (3) LOCATIONS. ONE LOCATION IS NEAR AIR BAG AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT ENGAGE. DEALERSHIP AND GM DIRECTLY HAVE ADVISED THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY ON ITS OWN, OR COULD FAIL TO DEPLOY IF NEEDED, BOTH OF WHICH ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. DASH CRACKS ARE LARGE. THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BY A DEALERSHIP, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISABLE COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, REQUIRING TOWS ON TOO MANY OCCASIONS TO RECALL. ELECTRICAL ISSUES STILL REMAIN. I AM AFRAID THAT THE VEHICLE WILL CATCH FIRE, AS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE ENGAGED AND OPERATING WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. DOOR HANDLE ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. OTHER DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK, BUT DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DOOR HAS FAILED TO OPEN WHEN NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE CHROME COVERING COATING. THE COATING IS PEELING OFF AND IS VERY SHARP, RESULTING IN CUTS TO YOUR HANDS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FILE DOWN THE COATING, BUT HAVE FINALLY COVERED IT WITH DUCT TAPE TO AVOID FURTHER CUTS TO MY HANDS AND MY PASSENGERS HANDS. ON A COSMETIC NOTE, THE COATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL PEELING OFF. ALL OF THE ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ARE HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS AND GM HAS FAILED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO BEEN OVERCHARGED BY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DASHBOARD BECAME CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAG AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, WHO REPAIRED THE DASHBOARD HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED IF THE AIR BAG WILL PREMATURELY DEPLOY, OR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY AS DESIGNED WITH THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2008 TAHOE LTZ. THERE ARE COUNTLESS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WITH THE CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE ELECTRICALLY SYSTEM AND WHAT THE CRACKS MIGHT BE DOING. *TR

I HAVE HAD A CRACKED DASH OVER THE AIR BAG FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN ANOTHER CRACK HAPPENED OVER BY THE GAUGE CLUSTER SO IT'S BROKEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL DO NOTHING BUT CHARGE ME WAY TO MUCH TO REPLACE IT. HOW DO WE GET THIS FIXED? *TR

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY...UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF UPDATED 4/28/2015 *JS

THE CHROME IS PEELING ON MY DOOR HANDLES AND HAVE CAUSED CUTS FOR DIFFERENT FAMILY MEMBERS THIS IS BAD. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHEVY TAHOE IN JULY 2013. I WAS ONLY THE SECOND OWNER. I DID NOT NOTICE RIGHT AWAY BUT THE DASH BOARD WAS CRACKED ABOVE THE CLUSTER. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CARD I HAVE USED A SUN SHADE TO PROTECT THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER CRACK LOCATED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WOULD THE DASH STAY INTACT OR WOULD THE CRACKED PIECES THEN BECOME SIMILAR TO SHRAPNEL? I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS, ALL THEY DID WAS SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DID NOT EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM. I WAS THEN CONTACTED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND AFTER SOME TIME WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME OTHER THAN PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND MY MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH. HOWEVER ON NUMEROUS ON-LINE FORUMS THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT STORIES AND AMOUNTS PEOPLE ARE BEING CHARGE FOR REPLACING THIS ITEM THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM EFFECTS 2007 - 2013 TAHOE, SILVERADO, YUKON, DENALI, SIERRA AND SUBURBAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE SUSPENSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE CHEAP AND DEFECTIVE. JUST REPLACED ONE AND ANOTHER IS BREAKING APART. REPLACED THE HANDLE AT THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THEY ARE REPLACING A LOT OF THEM! *TR

THE FRONT A/C&HEATER BLOWER FAN QUIT WORKING, AND NOW IT AND THE REAR BLOWER QUIT BLOWING AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE FRONT BLOWER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED FOR THE 2ND TIME IT WAS REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAS CRACKED AGAIN IN 2 PLACES. I HAVE A 2008 TAHOE WITH 51000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM TRYING TO GET THIS REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPERIENCE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASH CRACKING, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE RELEASED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DASH OF THIS 2008 TAHOE CRACK.WHEN TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT TYPE OFF DAMAGE WAS NOT COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY AND AT THAT TIME WE ALSO HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM GMC.. MAROONE CHEVROLET OF MIAMI. *TR

WE HAD THIS SAME RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS TAHOE FOR THE LAST 10K MILES. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEED OR JUST IDLING, IT WILL DISPLAY A "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND YOU WILL LOOSE ALL POWER. ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AND LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK, BUT YOU GET NO POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. ITS SCARY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO SUDDENLY WITH OUT ANY WARNING. WE HAVE SPEND A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS BUT IT HASN'T BEEN SOLVED.. *TR

NOTICED TWO SIZEABLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, ONE OF WHICH IS RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAG. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER TAHOE OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AND THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACKS SEEM TO BE GETTING BIGGER AND I'M CONCERNED PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL SPLINTER CREATING FLYING PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO EVER DEPLOY. *JS

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAS FAILED ON MY 08 CHEVY TAHOE ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. THE TWO OTHER TIMES WERE THE DRIVER'S DOOR. CHEVROLET REPLACED THE ACTUATOR THE FIRST 2 TIMES BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AROUND FEBURARY OF THIS YEAR MY VEHICLE BEGIN TO IDLE OUT OF CONTROL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO GUN OFF EVERTIME I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, ACCORDING TO GM THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND SAID THEY HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY FOR MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. MY CAR DID EXACTLY WHAT GM SAID IT WOULD DO TO CONFIRM IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT DENIED THE ISSUE CLAIMING IT WAS A LOOSE VACUM HOSE AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT OPERATE AS IT SHOULD WHICH I KNOW IS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE CONFIRMED THE SAME ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY GM KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT CHOOSES TO GO AROUND IT BY CALLING IT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH MAKES THE REPLACEMENT CONDITIONAL. I AM 100% SURE THAT I AND MILLLIONS OF TAHOE OWNERS KNOW THIS SHE BE A RECALL AND NOT A SO CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO GET AROUND THE EXPENSE OF MAKING A RECALL. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURED I WENT FLYING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MINIMAL ABILITY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, I HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP BY RIDING MY BREAKS BECAUSE THE VEHICLES THROTTLE BODY WOULD NOT LET THE TRUCKS RPM GO BELOW X3000. GM IS CONTINUING TO IGNORE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND WILL UNTILL SOMEONE DIES INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBLILTY AND MAKING THE RECALL TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN MAJOR STREET AND FRONT LEFT TIRE BRUSHED CURB AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT AND NO DAMAGE TO ANY PART OF VEHICLE. *TR

AS SOON AS WE DROVE OUR USED 2008 TAHOE OFF THE DEALER LOT WE HAD A TAIL LIGHT OUT THAT THEY CLAIM WAS JUST A LIGHT BULB BLOWN BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T RETRACT ALL THE WAY. THE DASH CRACKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY FROM END TO END AND IT IS GARAGED UNLESS WE ARE OUT DRIVING AROUND SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR IT TO CRACK. THE DRIVER SIDE CHROME DOOR HANDLE IS PEELING AND HAS CUT OUR HANDS. WE'VE HAD TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AS WELL. THIS WHOLE TRUCK IS A LEMON! THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START AND KEPT THROWING A CODE "SERVICE SECURITY THEFT SYSTEM." HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM SAYING WHAT IS EXACTLY WRONG WITH IT NOW. *JS

I HAD JUST PULLED UP IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY RESIDENCE HEADING INSIDE AN I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE VECHILE! WHEN I WENT TO SEE THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON BOTH SIDE DEPLOYED! I CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY DIDN'T COVER IT SO CONTACTED GM AN THEY DECIDED TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO THE PLACE WHERE THE TRUCK WAS TOWED! NOW GM DECIDED IT WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AN THEY GONNA FIX IT! THE TRUCK COULD BE READY ANYTIME NOW THEY WERE WAITING ON A BACKORDER PART TO COME IN. IM STILL THINKING IF THIS VEHICLE IF SAFE FOR ME AN MY FAMILY. *TR
