  TAKATA RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. ALSO DASHBOARD CRACKING ALL OVER AND PIECES COMING OUT WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT!

• 12/30/2015· STRUCTURE

  MY DASHBOARD RECENTLY CRACKED ON ITS OWN IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS CONSOLE. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IT SPLIT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE PIECES NEXT TO THE AIRBAG MAY BECOME PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO EVER BE DEPLOYED. GM AND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *JS

  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

• 12/20/2013· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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.

• 12/15/2016· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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

• 12/15/2011· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DOOR LOCKS BEGIN TO CYCLE (UP AND DOWN), THE CLOCK RESETS ITSELF TO TWELVE, STATIC RUNS THROUGH THE RADIO, THE CONSOLE LIGHTS (LIGHTING, ENGINE CK, STABILITY CONTROL) FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AT WILL. THE EFFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION IS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN BECAUSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLOWS DOWN CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER, ITS OCCUPANTS, AND OTHERS. ONCE THE VEHICLE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, ALL POWER INSIDE, DOME LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC TURN OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE BATTERY CABLE IS MOVED BACK AND FORTH AND A CONNECTION IS REESTABLISHED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. *TR

  MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO THROUGH A SERIES OF PHASES EITHER WHEN I TRY TO START IT UP DURING A COLD DAY OR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS LEADS TO MY VEHICLE EITHER NOT STARTING OR WHILE DRIVING NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION BEGIN TO SLIP. IT CAN ALSO DIE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" WOULD COME ON FOR A WHILE AND CAN DISAPPEAR AFTER STARTING UP AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE SAME SERVICE ADVISER/MANAGER EACH TIME I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO CALLED GMAC TO GET THEM INVOLVED TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN EVER THE CODES ARE PULLED, THERE COULD BE AT LEAST 7 AT A TIME. I CALLED GMAC WENT I EXPERIENCED THIS FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND MY CASE NUMBER WAS 71-1326091502 ISSUED ON 07/02/2014.

MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GIVE ME THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 107,000 MILES, RIGHT AFTER MY 100,000 MILE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED WHICH COST ABOUT $2400.00. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAVE A TOTAL OF ABOUT NINE PLUS (PROBLEM MORE) MONTHS IN THE SHOP AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP OVER TIME WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH NO RESULTS AT THE END OF EACH TRIP BUT IT WAS TAKEN BACK FOR THE SAME THING EACH TIME. I FEEL AS IF EVERY ONE IS JUST COVING THEMSELVES BY MOUTH WORK WHETHER THAN BY ACTIONS. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS VEHICLE SEEM TO BE A "LEMON" AND NO ONE HAS THE COURAGE TO SAY SO. MY VEHICLE IS AT AL SERRA CHEVROLET NORTH, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. 80920. THERE # IS [XXX]. MY # IS [XXX]. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
