2008 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

I OWN A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4X4, I PURCHASED IT WITH 80000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I START THE CAR OR I AM DRIVING ALL MY GAUGES ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PASS BEYOND THE MAXIMUM LEVEL, EVEN MY SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES I WILL BE GOING 40MPH BUT IT IS MARKING 80MPH. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE, MY BATTERY GAUGE, MY FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE, EVEN MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE WORST PART IS THAT MY PRNDL AND INFO CENTER ALSO DISAPPEAR WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THEY RE- SOMETIMES AFTER FEW MINUTES SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS, OTHER MECHANICS SAID THAT GM HAS THIS ISSUE ON MOST OF THEIR TRUCKS AND SUVS. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVERS ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL YOUR GAUGES STOP WORKING OR WORK IMPROPERLY OR DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR SCREEN, I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AND GM SHOULD FIND A FIX FOR IT. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLS NO ELECTRICAL NOT EVEN HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AND RADIO STARTED TO STATIC AND THEN CAR STALLED WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON HAZARDS MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE THAT I WAS STALLED AND GOT VERY CLOSE TO HITTING MY TRUCK HAD TO CALL FOR HELP AS I WAS SITTING IN INTERSECTION HAD NO WAY OF TELLING THEM I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE HAD TO OPEN MY DOORS TO CALL ATTENTION TO DRIVERS. A DAY BEFORE I NOTICED THAT PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I PARKED VEHICLE AND IGNITION KEY TURNED OFF ALL ELECTRICITY WILL QUICKLY SHUT OFF INCLUDING RADIO. WHEN AT A NORMAL TIME RADIO WOULD STAY ON UNTIL DOOR OPENED. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE HAD FULL BODY THROTTLE REPLACED, BATTERY AND GROUND CABLES REPLACED AND STILL NOT FIXED VEHICLE ALSO SHAKES ALOT AT TIMES WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THERE WAS STATIC COMING FROM THE RADIO AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE STATIC FROM THE RADIO ALSO CAUSED THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS TO OPEN AND CLOSE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FULL BODY THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76127. RK

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ABOVE AIRBAGS CREATING VERY SHARP, JAGGED EDGES. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE EXPOSED SHARP PLASTIC EDGES CAN AND HAVE CUT FINGERS AND COULD ALSO DAMAGE THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

THE "CHROME" OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES BROKE. THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN NEED OF REPAIR FOR THE SECOND REPLACEMENT SET. *TR

THE CHROME PLATING ON THE DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SPLIT AT THE SEAM AND ALMOST CUT MY HAND....IT WOULD HAVE IF I HAD NOT NOTICED IT BEFORE I GRABBED THE DOOR TO OPEN IT. *TR

A FEW YEARS AGO ALL THREE DOOR LOCKS WENT AT THE SAME TIME ON MY 2008 TAHOE. I TOLD MY DEALER THIS SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL. ASKED IF THERE IS A RECALL AND HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OTHER THAN TO TELL YOU IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO. A FEW MONTHS AGO LEFT BLINKER WONT WORK. TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN. SAID TO BRING IT BACK AS THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO WORK ON IT AND THINK I NEEDED AN ENTIRE NEW FUSE BOX. SATURDAY OCT. 5, 2013 HEADLIGHTS CAME ON WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT. NEXT DAY IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. TRIED CHARGING IT AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT FUSES AND BATTERY. WEIRD MESSAGES KEEP POPPING UP ON DASHBOARD SUCH AS CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. IT WILL SAY REAR BUT ACTUALLY IT IS THE FRONT. SOMETIMES IT ISN'T ANY TIRE THAT IS LOW. CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED WHY THERE IS NO RECALL AND THEY SAID IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO. I RESEARCHED EDMUNDS.COM AND FOUND 454 MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. CHEVY SAID TO CONTACT YOU. *TR

VEHICLE WON'T START, DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL ACTIVATED RANDOMLY, BATTERY NOT PROBLEM, ALL ELECTRICAL NOT WORKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY ACTIVATED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2 MONTHS. LAST TIME, BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND CAR WORKED FOR 2 MONTHS. BATTERY CHECKED 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER, BATTERY IS GOOD. HAD DOORLOCK PROBLEMS 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IN 2008. COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FIRST 4 TIMES, AND REIMBURSED ON 5TH TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL, SENSOR PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY BEFORE. READING OTHER COMMENTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR OTHERS AS WELL. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? DOESN'T SEEM LIKE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE RECEIVED SATISFACTION WITH THEIR ISSUES EITHER. WHAT IS CHEVY DOING TO RESOLVE? VEHICLE IS AT CHEVY DEALER NOW, AWAITING RESPONSE. IF THIS WAS TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF, THIS WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

AROUND 45,000 MILES ON MY 2008 TAHOE, A CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO GET WIDER EVER SINCE, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 66,000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASH IS ALSO NOW CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK IS QUICKLY WORKING ITS WAY FROM THE EDGE TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. CURRENTLY, IT IS HALFWAY THROUGH THE DASH BUT THE PLASTIC SHOWS SIGNS OF PRESSURE BUT HAS NOT CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH YET. GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND I'VE BEEN REFERRED TO MY DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT IT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND DEALER TOLD US THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. BUT THEY DID TELL ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, THE CLOCK WOULD INDEPENDENTLY RESET AND THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING ODOR WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V441000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME COATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WAS SEPARATING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR LACERATIONS TO THE HAND AS A RESULT OF GRABBING THE DOOR HANDLE WITH THE CHROME SHARDS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAD ALSO BECOME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR ELECTRIC LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED RESULTING IN NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT MANUALLY UNLOCKING IT FROM THE INSIDE. IN THE EVEN OF AN EMERGENCY, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR FROM THE LOCK SWITCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO KEY LOCK ON THIS DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2008 CHEVROLETS, WHICH HAS COST CONSUMERS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ADDITION TO SUBJECTING THEM TO SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I WAS THE VICTIM OF A THEFT WHEN A PASSENGER DID NOT MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHEN I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE SOMEONE ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND STOLE PERSONAL PROPERTY. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF THE LOCK ACTUATOR HAD FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AND LOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I LOCKED THE OTHERS. TO DATE, CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT WITHOUT AN APPROXIMATE CHARGE OF $300 - $400 PER DOOR. *TR

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKEN EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES (CHROME PLATED). BOTH DOOR HANDLES PULLED AWAY FROM THE DOOR AND ARE BROKEN. ALSO THE CHROME PLATING ON ALL HANDLES ARE PEELING. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

POWER LOCKS ARE FAILING FOR SECOND TIME AFTER REPLACING. THE ACTUATORS DO NOT LAST OVER 2 YEARS. EACH DOOR COSTS $300 TO REPAIR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS PROBLEM IN MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENS TO MY VEHICLE AND I GET IT REPAIRED. WHEN I GOT MY TAHOE WITH 0 MILES IT ALREADY HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I HAD IT FIXED, I THOUGHT NO BIG DEAL OF IT. THEN WITH TIME I FIND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND PRICEY PROBLEM. THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY TAHOE GO OUT, THEY DON'T GO UP OR DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AND THIS IS AN ISSUE TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACK WITH AN UNLOCKED CAR. THREE OF MY DOORS ARE CURRENTLY OUT AND I DON'T HAVE $940 TO FIX IT. MY PASSENGERS ARE NOT SAFE BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS ARE A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US OUT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE WHEN THE FIRE STARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 6 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS WERE CONTACTED AND RESPONDED TO THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE HOTTEST PART OF THE FIRE WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON MY CHEVY TAHOE 2008 LTZ NO LONGER WORKS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR , DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR AND RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR. THE ELECTRONIC LOCK/UNLOCK DOOR MECHANISM NO LONGER LOCKS OR UNLOCKS THE DOORS AS WELL AS THE KEY REMOTE NO LONGER LOCKS OR UNLOCKS THE DOORS. THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGERS DOOR HANDLE CAME LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES. THIS IS WITH NO DOUBT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BECAME FRACTURED. THE DOOR HANDLES WERE SHARP AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A LACERATION FROM ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND ALSO BECAME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INSPECTED THE DOOR AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE GONE OUT ON MY 2008 TAHOE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO. OUR CHILDREN CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS TO GET IN OUR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY DOOR THAT WILL CURRENTLY WORK IS THE DRIVER DOOR, WHICH ONLY WORKS WITH THE KEY. THE TAHOE HAS A FACTOR INSTALLED ALARM SYSTEM / KEY FOB SYSTEM, AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE DOORS TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. YOU HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER DOOR, THEN MANUALLY OPEN THE PASSENGER AND REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE, AS WELL AS MANUALLY LOCK THEM FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. *TR

THE SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, PROMPTING ME TO SEARCH FOR WARRANTY INFORMATION UPON WHICH I DISCOVERED THIS RECALL INFORMATION. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED UNDER RECALL IF THIS SITUATION APPLIES. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FOR THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *TR ...UPDATED 03/27/13 *BF

THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON MY CHEVY TAHOE 2008 LTZ NO LONGER WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE ELECTRONIC LOCK/UNLOCK DOOR MECHANISM NO LONGER LOCKS OR UNLOCKS THE PASSENGER DOOR AS WELL AS THE KEY REMOTE NO LONGER LOCKS OR UNLOCKS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM READING THE OTHER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE I CAN EXPECT THE REST OF THE DOOR LOCKS TO QUIT OPERATING AT SOME POINT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

NOTICED A CRASH ON THE DASH NEAR THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM DEFECT IN THE DASH MATERIAL. COULD AFFECT PERFORMANCE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IF DEPLOYED. *TR

THE COMPANY I WORK FOR PURCHASED FOUR 2008 TAHOES NEW. ALL HAVE HAD DOOR LOCK PROBLEMS. MINE JUST HAPPENED ON BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS AND IT COST $741 TO HAVE FIXED TODAY AT CHEVY DEALER. I BELIEVE THE OTHER 3 TAHOES WERE UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME, BUT NOT SURE. THE TAHOE I DRIVE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. AS OTHERS HAVE SAID, YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS SINCE THERE IS NO KEY, AND THE MANUAL BUTTON IS NOT NEAR THE PILLARS SO YOU CANT REACH IT FROM THE FRONT DOORS. ITS A BAD SITUATION IF YOU NEEDED TO ACCESS THE REAR DOORS. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2008 TAHOE LTZ TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO REPAIR THE DOOR LOCKS / OUTER DOOR HANDLES. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE DOOR LOCKS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOORS OR THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY CONERN BECAUSE I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I AM AFRAID IF I WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND I TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEY WILL FAIL AND I WILL BE UNABLE TO GET MY CHILD OUT WITHOUT CRAWLING OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE LOCK. THE SAME WITH THE OUTER DOOR HANDLES BREAKING. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THOSE REPLACED. I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT AT ONE POINT TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE ISSUES, YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I AM WRITING BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ON OUR 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS IN THE PAST AS WE HAVE HAD TO LITERALLY CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AGAIN AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY SERVICE THIS MORNING. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THE CHARGES ARE $300 PLUS. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 84,470 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS HUGE CONSIDERING THAT YOU CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR ONCE A LOCK COMPLETELY FAILS IN THAT YOU HAVE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. ALSO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN MAKING GRINDING NOISES WHEN IT IS USED OPEN AND CLOSE. AS THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER SIMILAR ISSUE THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO RECALL AND FIX? BEING THAT WE SPENT GOOD EARN MONEY TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND VERY MUCH LOYAL TO CHEVY'S VEHICLES. WHAT HAPPENED TO TAKING CARE OF YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS? A RECALL SHOULD BE INDEED INITIATED TO SETTLE THESE REPEATED ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES SO CUSTOMERS CAN FEEL THAT CHEVORLET IS INDEED LOYAL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AS WE ARE LOYAL TO PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES. MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING HOWEVER TAKING CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS CAN GO A LIFETIME. IT STARTS WITH THE CUSTOMERS FIRST. *TR

FAILURE OF ALL FOUR POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 TAHOE. AT ALMOST EXACTLY 3 YEARS AND 30,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP, THE DOOR LOCKS OF MY, PURCHASED NEW, 2008 TAHOE LTZ BEGAN TO FAIL. ALL FOUR LOCKS FAILED WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE AT THE LAST AND FINAL (4TH) FAILURE. CONCERN: (#1) THERE IS ONLY ONE MANUAL KEYED ENTRY LOCATED ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS THE DRIVERS DOOR. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY AND TOTAL ELECTRONIC LOCK FAILURE, THE ONLY PASSENGER DOOR ACCESS WOULD BE THROUGH THE DRIVERS DOOR UTILIZING THE KEY AND MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK FEATURE. IF THE MANUAL LOCK WERE TO ALSO FAIL, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE THROUGH ANY OF THE FOUR PASSENGER DOORS. RESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE COULD COST THE LIFE OF A CHILD, ADULT PASSENGER OR PET TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM COULD BE DESIGNED SAFER WITH A REDUNDANT MANUAL LOCK LOCATED ON ANOTHER DOOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISMS CURRENTLY INSTALLED ARE INADEQUATE AND UNSAFE. THE COMMON FAILURE OF THESE SYSTEMS ELIMINATES THE ARGUMENT OF ELECTRONIC REDUNDANCY FOR THE SYSTEM SINCE THE INSTALLED PRODUCT IS FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE. WHY SHOULD WE BE FORCED TO ACCEPT THESE UNSAFE PRODUCTS/DESIGNS ON OUR VEHICLES? CONCERN: (#2) THE COST OF REPLACING A LOCK HAS BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $250 TO $450 PER LOCK FROM DIFFERENT FACILITIES. THE PRICING MAY INFLUENCE A GENERALLY SAFE MINED PERSON TO POSTPONE A REPAIR WHICH IMPACTS THE REDUNDANCY F

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I AM WRITING BECAUSE WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ON OUR 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS IN THE PAST AS WE HAVE HAD TO LITERALLY CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED WHILE ON A BOAT RAMP SO IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY MEMORABLE EVENT. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AGAIN AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY SERVICE THIS MORNING. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP CALLED US TO LET US KNOW THAT ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CHARGES ARE $350 FOR THE FRONT DOORS AND $250 FOR THE BACK DOORS. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL DOOR LOCK WORK ON THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS HUGE CONSIDERING THAT YOU CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR ONCE A LOCK COMPLETELY FAILS IN THAT YOU HAVE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. WE REQUEST THAT A RECALL BE INITIATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. TODAY 1-17-13 , I HAD TO HAVE THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED FOR THE 5TH TIME ON THIS VEHICLE. EVERY DOOR HAS BEEN AFFECTED AT LEAST ONCE WITH TODAY BEING THE RIGHT REAR DOOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE , THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE GM SUV PRODUCTS STARTING WITH THE 2007 MODEL YEARS. GM HAS YET TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH A RECALL , HOWEVER I FEEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE IS HIT FROM THE SIDE OR A WATER RELATED ACCIDENT OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE BEING SUBMERGED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT. 1 OR 2 INSTANCES IN A 4.5 YEAR PERIOD I COULD UNDERSTAND BUT 5 IN A 4.5 YEAR PERIOD INVOLVING EVERY DOOR IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS WELL IN EXCESS OF $200 AND AS SUCH I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY GM WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO ACT. DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE A DEATH OR 2 FOR GM TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF YOU BUILD A VEHICLE SUCH AS THIS AND CHARGE IN EXCESS OF $50,000 , THEN I AS THE PURCHASER HAVE EVERY REASON TO EXPECT THAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES WOULD BE RESOLVED BY USING QUALITY PARTS AND NOT JUNK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL FIND A WHOLE LOT OF CUSTOMERS OF THESE PRODUCTS WHO ARE HIGHLY UPSET AND WANT SOMETHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF AND THEN IT CRANKED QUICKLY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE WINDOW CONTROL, SPEAKERS AND HEATER WOULD GO IN/ OUT OF OPERATION. THE SPEAKERS IN ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD GO OUT THEN COME BACK ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD WORK ALL AT ONCE, OTHER TIMES ONE, TWO OR EVEN THREE MAY COME ON AND OFF. THE HEATER WOULD COME ON BLOWING SOME TIMES THEN CUTS OFF AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE HEATER BLOWER WOULD ALSO BLOW AT ONE SPEED THEN BLOW AT ANOTHER SPEED WITHOUT ANYONE CHANGING THE SETTINGS. THE WINDOW CONTROLS WILL MAKE THE HEATER BLOW STRONGER, THEN WHEN THE WINDOW CONTROL IS RELEASED IT WILL CUT THE HEATER OFF. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW CONTROLS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THE REAR PASSENGERS ALSO CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE FOR INDIVIDUALS SITTING IN THE SECOND ROW SEATS. THE ONLY CONTROL THAT WILL WORK THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS IS THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A LIGHT SMOKE SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IN THE FRONT WILL OPEN FOR THE PASSENGER SOMETIMES THEN AT OTHER TIMES SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT CRANK BACK UP AFTER BEEN CUT OFF, IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE JUMPED OFF. THE BATTERY IS DRAINED EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS SITTING DOWN AND NOT BEING OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT BEING FIXED. GM CORPORATION WAS CALLED AND I WAS INFORMED A REC

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE STOPPED BLOWING AND THEN BEGIN TO START BLOWING ABOUT 20MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGIN TO SMELL OF SMOKE AT ONE POINT. THE CONTROL BUTTONS FOR THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS STOP WORKING. THE SPEAKERS BEGIN TO GO IN/ OUT OF PLAY AND THE REAR WINDOWS WOULD ONLY WORK FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR CONTROL. THE WINDOW BUTTON THEN BEGIN TO CONTROL THE LEVEL THAT THE HAT WOULD BLOW AT. DOOR CONTROLS STOP WORKING FOR SOME DOORS AT A STOP AND THE DOOR WOULD ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR WOULD THEN BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN. ELECTRICAL CONTROLS FOR THE CHILD PROOF WERE INOPERABLE FOR BACKSEAT PASSENGERS. SPEAKERS GOING IN/ OUT OF PLAY WHILE DRIVING AND THE HEATER BLOWER ALSO GOING IN/ OUT OF WORKING CONDITION. WINDOW CONTROL WOULD MAKE THE SPEAKERS COME ON/ OFF AT TIMES. BATTERY WOULD BE DRAIN FROM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND NEED A JUMP-OFF TO BEGIN BACK WORKING. BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR CHECKS AT DEALERSHIP WERE PERFORM WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED BUT VEHICLE WOULD STILL DO UNFAMILIAR THINGS SUCH AS HEATER BLOWER, SPEAKERS AND CONTROL SWITCHES PERFORMING AT THEIR OWN TIMES. HEATER VOLTAGE DRAINING THE BATTERY AND ALSO CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. VEHICLE WILL NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS OF ELECTRICAL MODULES AND UNKNOWN CONTROL MODULES AFFECTING THE HEATER, SPEAKERS, WINDOWS AND DOORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SEAT BELT FAILED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT BUT THE ANCHOR WOULD NOT RELEASE THE BUCKLE. THE CONTACT ENDED UP JAMMING HER FINGER AND INJURING IT. THE SEAT BELT RELEASED BUT WOULD NOT CONNECT LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE ANCHOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,800.

DRIVERS DOOR AND BACK HATCH WILL BOUNCE BACK OPEN AND NOT CATCH AND THEN THE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK TO OPEN THE DOOR BY REMOTE, DOOR PANEL LOCK OR BY HAND TRAPPING PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. SPOKE TO GM, THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE BUT UNWILLING AT THIS TIME TO PUT OUT A BULLETIN OR RECALL. *TR

AFTER VACATING THE CAR THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS DID NOT OPERATE WHILE MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE IN THE TAHOE. THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK EITHER WITH THE FOB OR THE ELECTRIC SWITCH IN THE TAHOE. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO REENTER THE TAHOE THROUGH DRIVER'S DOOR, START THE CAR, LOWER THE REAR WINDOWS, MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS, AND REMOVE MY GRANDCHILDREN. HAD THIS BEEN AN EMERGENCY, SERIOUS PROBLEMS COULD HAVE OCCURRED. AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM, WHICH HAS RECURRED MANY TIMES, I AM NOT WILLING TO DRIVE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE TAHOE, UNLESS AN ADULT IS AVAILABLE TO ACCOMPANY THEM IN THE REAR SEAT. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS SUBSTANTIAL CRACKS AT AND AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. CRACKS HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY APPEARED ON THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG CAUSING BODILY HARM TO PASSENGER. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ABOUT 6-8 INCHES LONG. IT IS ALSO HAS 3 OTHER CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD, THE CRACKS ARE IN THE TOP TWO CORNERS. THESE CRACKS JUST STARTED APPEARING AND AROUND THE DATE MENTIONED ABOVE IS WHEN WE NOTICED THE CRACKS. I KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN IT IS ON THE AIRBAG. IF THERE IS A WRECK, WHO IS TO SAY PIECES WONT BE FLUNG UP INTO MY FAMILY AND HURT OR POSSIBLE KILL THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER INTERIOR POWER DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK UPON ENGAGING. THE PASSENGER SEATED IN THE FRONT OR REAR EXITED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

HEARD A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE, SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. TOOK IN FOR INSPECTION WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A BROKEN BOLT ON EXHAUST MANIFOLD IN THE REAR. WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AS IT FELL UNDER "EXHAUST" AND "FASTENER" COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND WILL CAUSE ME TO FAIL EMISSIONS WHEN I AM DUE, WHICH ALSO VIOLATES THE EPA LAWS. I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE WE DO NOT HAVE WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO RUST ISSUES. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE WITH SUCH A LARGE PROBLEM?? *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, CHECK STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE SPUTTERED. THIS WAS FIRST OF 4 INCIDENTS FROM OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE GM HAS WITH THIS ENGINE. THEY DIDN'T RECALL THE ENGINE, BUT HAD A PROTOCOL - A SERIES OF BANDAIDS THAT SHOPS USED TO REPAIR OR PROLONG. ULTIMATE STEP IS ENGINE REBUILD/REPLACEMENT, WHICH GM DID UNDER WARRANTY FOR THOSE "IN THE KNOW." MY DEALERSHIP IN SMALL TOWN HAMILTON, OH, ROSE CHEVROLET, WAS DROPPED BY GM AND IS NOW INDEPENDENT. NEITHER ROSE OR GM INFORMED ME OF THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN $9-- OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, THE CAR NOW NEEDS PISTONS AND RINGS, FOR ANOTHER $3000. AGAIN, GM KNEW OF THIS ISSUE AND DIDN'T INFORM ME OF IT. HAD I KNOW ABOUT IT, AND THE MAGNITUDE, I WOULD HAVE INSISTED ON REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I'M A SALES REP AND DRIVE A LOT. THE CAR NOW HAS 146,000 MILES AND I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH GM. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR, REIMBURSE ME FOR MY OUT OF POCKET AND/OR REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE SINCE HE WAS UNABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BACK DOOR OF THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE USED TO ENTER AND/OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,713.

5/31/2011 DRIVER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED, DOOR WOULD AND ALARM WOULD NOT SET. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. REAR LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT FAILED WITHIN A YEAR. BOTH WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE OUT OF WARRANTY AT 45000 MILES, APPROX. OCTOBER 23 2012, REAR RIGHT LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WAS NOT WORKING, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND DRIVEN WITH THE DOOR UNLOCKED, UNKNOWN TO ME. I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, AND WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I'M SURPRISED NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. THEFTS, KIDS OPENING MOVING VEHICLE DOOR, CARJACKING ARE ALL THINGS THAT COME TO MIND. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOT ISOLATED TO JUST A FEW VEHICLES. *TR

1. THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS. 2. THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS TO NOT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AND LOCK. THE ACTUATOR IS FAILING. HAPPENS APPROX. EVERY 2 YEARS. THIS IS ON A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. 3. ACTUATOR MUST BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

DOOR LOCKS ON PASSANGER SIDE FAULTY. *TR

1. DOOR LOCKS FAILED. HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. AS A RESULT, MY [XXX] OLD BABY GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER IN AUGUST. IT CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE AND OFTEN I HAVE TO RESORT IN CLIMBING THROUGH THE BACK TAILGATE. 2. STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES AFTER THESE LIGHTS FLASH, MY VEHICLE WILL GO INTO "REDUCED POWER MODE" ON ITS ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS GOING 65 MPH OR PULLING OUT FROM SOMEWHERE. 3.MY WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO...EVER SINCE THE TWO RECALLS CHEVROLET RELEASED, THE WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THEY WANT TO. 4. MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES....I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY FOUR TIMES AND SOMETHING CONTINUES TO DRAIN IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AS HE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOORS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE DOOR HANDLES WERE NOT ON RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4X4 V8 5.3L, CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON DURING A ROUTINE DRIVE AND NO BAGS DEPLOYED. CHECKED WITH DEALER AND THEY WANTED $300 TO CLEAR FAULT CODE B0083 FOR A FRONT SENSOR. LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS SAFETY RELATED DEVICE. SINCE IT IS OF SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE GM AIRBAG SENSOR COMPONENT FAILURES OF VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 150K MILES. *TR

THE DOORS FILL WITH WATER AFTER IT RAINS. THE WATER DOESN'T DRAIN AND BEGINS TO SMELL LIKE MOLD IN THE CAR. NOW, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS IS ACTING STRANGE. *TR

THE DOORS ON MY VEHICLE STILL FILL UP WITH WATER AND SWITCHES HAVE SHORTED OUT. IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I HAVE TO CHECK FOR WATER IN THE DOORS EVERY TIME IT RAINS. THE 2010 DATE IS WHEN THE DEALER FIRST REPLACED SHORTED SWITCHES IN THE DOOR. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE AT THE TIME, BUT NOW THERE IS A MAJOR RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT THE TAHOE IS NOT INCLUDED. *TR
