BATTERY BEGAN TO GO DEAD. I WOULD CALL ROAD SERVICE TO GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND *ONSTAR WAS NOTIFIED ON MOST OCCASIONS OF THIS HAPPENING.*ONSTAR WAS NOTIFIED DUE TO THE CONTRACT I HAVE WITH THEM FOR ROADSIDE HELP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST SEVEN TIMES.(USING *ONSTAR FOR ASSISTANCE ON ATLEAST THREE OF THESE SEVEN TIMES) I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE CAR JUST UP AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE(I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT)AND THE THING ,OTHER THAN THE SAFETY FACTOR, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TRAVEL AND I REALLY NEED A CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD A SECONDARY VEHICLE. MY FAMILY STATED NOR CAN YOU AFFORD TO DIE EITHER!THE CHANCE OF TAKEN THE LIFE OF ANOTHER PERSON,TO ME,FAR EXCEEDS THE FEAR I HAVE OF LOOSING MY ON LIFE. *TR

MY 2007 TAHOE IS A PIECE OF ?!@#$%. SINCE I GOT THE TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. MY GAS GAGE FLOATS I CAN START OUT AT OF A TANK AND IT WILL GO UP TO OF A TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPLE PARTS AND CAN NOT SEEM TO FIX IT. THE BLOWER IN THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND ANOTHER PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 30 DAYS. I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO QUICK TO SELL ME THE TRUCK, NOT THAT QUICK TO HELP ME. I HAVE PICTURE AND VIDEO WITH TIME AND DATE OF TO GAS GAUGE FLOATING. MY GAS GAGE IS THE RECURRING PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPR PARTS. *TR
