2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Problems

We were sitting in a parking lot with the engine running and heard an explosion in the vehicle. Later we discovered that the left rear, side curtain air bag had deployed. Horn has been inoperable for months cruise control hasn't worked in years steering wheel radio controls don't work. No appointment reason for any of it. Pass air bag off warning light red Air bag light is usually on but not always.

I was involved in an accident last year where I took out a gaurd rail next to a building. My air bags never deployed and now my car will not run.

The battery energy control module GM Part # 84442220 located inside the HV battery assembly caught fire. The harness that was most affected was the battery cell voltage sense wires. The way the battery voltage sense circuit is manufactured seems dangerous as there is no fusible link between the battery cell and the module. If a short circuit occurs the full current of the cell will be induced on a very thin gauge wire going to the module which will result in a fire.

TAHOE MIDDLE SEAT BELT BUCKLES HAVE ALL COME APART. I CONTACTED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UH NO SH*T?! ONCE AGAIN CRACKS ON DASHBOARD BY PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND ALL OVER RIDICULOUS! MIDDLE CONSOLE STARTED TO SMOKE ON 4/2018 AND I HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING DISCONNECTED. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY SAID TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH Y'ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS THREE CRACKS THAT WERE GETTING LARGE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE CRACKS WAS LOCATED NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Was Delivered. Took for a test drive. Stalled at stop sign. Restarted went down the road stalled and slammed into park. Contacted company was told to take to local GMC/Chevy, (said they did a bunch of research and this part should work) basically guessing had my vehicle for 9 months replaced some sensor. Had my boyfriend Drove to red light, not even half a block, stall (stable track sensor) but lost all electric but v8 still ran took to another ( had towed) to another local shop they had for 4+ months couldn't figure out said it was running 18+ codes and would cost too much to go through. Contacted company the gentleman politely laughed and said ur kidding me right it's been years I tried to explain how long it was taking due to both repairs company had it over a year n half. No sympathy he knew exactly what he sold.

I had bought the 08 Tahoe hybrid. The day it was delivered, it stalled I called the dealership out of Minnesota and was told oh it could be this it could be that went to two local shops and a private shop all had different specifications as to what was wrong with the car due to so many codes being thrown out. You would try to take off from a stop sign or a red light car would completely lose all power, almost had multiple people slam into me because it always happened, caused so much anxiety because my only wheels to get my children around. Once again was told to take it in GM had it for over a year and could not figure the issue out. I was told by the dealer multiple times it was not their issue and they knew the position I was in an said it was inspected but refused to send me the paperwork.

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AFTER REFUELING ONE DAY, A FEW DAYS LATER NOTICED GAS LEAKING FROM THE TANK WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. TOOK TANK OFF AND FUEL PUMP WAS RUSTED ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ANOTHER 2007 TAHOE JUST A FEW WEEKS PRIOR.

WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 30 MPH THEN DECELERATING, ONCE THE CAR GETS TO AROUND 15-20 MPH IT JUMPS FORWARD. IT'S SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU DRIVE A STICKSHIFT AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD AS IF IT MIGHT STALL. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN REGULARLY. IF I DECELERATE VERY QUICKLY, THEN IT DOES NOT DO IT. IF I DECELERATE SLOWLY THEN IT DOES NOT DO IT. IT HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN AND THE CAR IS CONFUSED BETWEEN STAYING IN GAS MODE OR SWITCHING TO HYBRID MODE AND AUTO STOP. THE CAR THEN JUMPS FORWARD WHEN CONFUSED.

The air ride control module under the spare tire in the rear of the vehicle has deteriorated and the connections melted so I had to disconnect the module I noticed smoke from underneath the rear of my vehicle I believe if I did not disconnect the module there would have been a fire i have the module that I can send pictures to you of the plug the connection and the deteriorating module these vehicles are supposed to be made to be used in the upstate weather and to leave a important piece of electrical equipment out like that is nonsense and to replace the module is approximately 500 without me going to the dealership.

I BOUGHT MY CHEVY TAHOE IN 2012.WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE,THIS VEHICLE HAD 20 INCH TIRES THAT CAME WITH IT.BECAUSE OF THE LARGER,LOW PROFILE TIRES,THIS HAS CAUSED A BUMPY RIDE AND HAS CAUSED MANY REPAIRS TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION.I HAVE CHANGED THE BALL JOINTS A FEW TIMES,WHEEL HUBS,FRONT SHOCKS,STEERING COLUMN UJOINT,AND CONSTANTLY GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENTS.WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS,MY TRUCK SHIFTS TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT.I DECIDED IN 2020 TO CHANGED MY TIRES TO A DIFFERENT MAKE AND MODEL THINKING THIS WOULD CORRECT PROBLEM.IT DIDNT CORRECT PROBLEM.I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR NOTHING

Vehicle was fine until the front calipers, pads, rotors were replaced. Then randomly started loosing braking power. brakes are fine , new. Randomly when using brakes brakes will work , then loose pressure. No stopping power, petal goes to the floor and all the warning li come 9n. Have to reset code to get brakes again. Then at random they quit working again Code c12fe abs pressure pump loss

TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE VERY LOW MILES AND DO NOT PULL/TOW ANYTHING. OUR DODGE & FORD BOTH HAVE WELL OVER 260,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. CHEAP PART WERE USED IN THIS TAHOE CAUSING MAJOR REPAIR FAILURES AND COSTS TO REPAIR

VEHICLE'S AUTOSTOP FEATURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVER IS TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SLOW VEHICLE. VEHICLE JOLTS VIOLENTLY FORWARD UPON BREAKING AND ACCELERATES TO 10 MPH. VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 135K MILES DURING STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT IN HAYWARD CA IN DEC 2018. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. VEHICLE AT 145K MILES NOW IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN DURING AUTO STOP WITH LOW RPM'S WITHOUT ANY SERVICE CODES TO CHECK. AT ALL TIMES VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE.

Front passenger seatbelt is stuck won’t expand to buckle up, when turning on right blinker the high beam lights turn on. Which is unsafe for other drivers being blinded by the bright lights. Back hatch does not operate at all, could potentially be life threatening if that was an only exit due to unexpected Circumstances

WHEN DRIVING I HEAR A WINDING SOUND IN MY SPEAKERS WHEN I ACCELERATE. MY RADIO IS OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LATCHED. KEEPS COMING UPDONE WHEN CORRECTLY FASTENED.

CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT AFFECTS AIRBAGS AND ELECTRIC WIRING ASSOCIATED TO DASH AND DASHBOARD COMPONENTS. CAUSES VISUAL IMAGES ON WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING MAKING IT A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THERE IS TWO CRACKS ON THIS DASH WHICH OVER TIME WILL CAUSE TREMENDOUS ISSUES WITH SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED TO THE WIRING AND SAFETY AIRBAGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V240000, (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEATED WASHER MODULE WOULD BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER REPLACE THE MODULE WITH A NHTSA APPROVED REPLACEMENT MODULE BUT THE DEALER REFUSED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. REMAILED CUSTOMER REQUEST 11/06/2014*LJ

ALL THE TIRE PRESSURE SENIORS ARE SAYING TO CHECK THE TIRES. THERE IS CORRECT PRESSURE IN TIRES WHEN I CHECK THEM, AND OF COURSE THE DASH MONITOR IS BLINKINGLIKE CRAZY ALL THE TIME. MY TIRE MAN SAID IT WOULD BE LOTS OF BUCKS TO REPLACE THEM. HE SAID BY LAW THEY CAN'T TAKE THEM OUT. WHAT CRAP, AND A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. LISTEN UP GENERAL MOTORS, WE DO NOT NEED ALL THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP ON OUR CARS. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!

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

DASH, RADIO LIGHTS NOT WORKING

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.

Cooper Discoverer All-Terrain LT265/70R17 123S All-Terrain Tire. Just purchased from Walmart Oct 31, 2024. This is the email I sent to Walmart Claims Service, Inc. First of all, the tires were installed in the wrong manner. The Tire Pressure Sensor Monitor (TPMS) was installed on all four tires. I was fraudulently told that the car battery was bad and that the TPMS were unable to be reset. My auto battery was only purchased 3 months ago and the best battery that can be purchased from NAPA for my vehicle. When I returned to the indicated store, I was given the same BS story about my car battery being bad without proof of defect. This was an obvious attempt to get me to purchase a replacement battery. Fortunately, I have my own device to reprogram the TPMS devises. I was able to reprogram the TPMS devices on all 4 tires without problem on the first try. This is clear evidence of bad faith dealing on the part of Walmart. The tire pressure is 80psi. at the maximum load rating of the tire. At the recommended pressure of 44psi the tires are too soft. The tire squishes and rolls when driving around moderate curves at the posted speed limit of the roadway. This causes an unsafe condition and very dangerous to trailer a pull along vehicle. These tires are UNSAFE!!!! And that is a fact that cannot be disproven. Walmart is totally responsible for any product liability as a result of any death or damage sustained. I am not interested in entertaining any comments about, "if you feel they are unsafe, then don't drive the vehicle". I didn't purchase new tires for my vehicle to sit in the driveway. These tires need to be replaced ASAP with an alternate viable option. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At the recommended operating tire pressure of 44psi the sidewalls are not supportive enough to prevent the rear end from pulling to the side, slipping, and sliding. This is more prominent when going around moderate curves.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT. THE VEHICLE HAS GENERAL GRABBER UHP TIRES, LINE SIZE 275/55/R20. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE RIM WAS FRACTURED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, THE TIRE EXPLODED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER INSPECTED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXHIBITED EXTREME TREAD WEAR. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. ON A LATER DATE WHILE ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE CONTACT UNEXPECTANTLY DROVE OVER THE CURB. LATER, HE NOTICED THE TIRE WAS CRACKED IN THE SAME AS THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS PREVIOUSLY. THE REAR TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRE DOT NUMBER AND THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 16,000.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AT TIMES I PRESS HARDER AND HARDER BEFORE THE AUTO STARTS TO MOVE AND IT THEN GOES MUCH TO FAST. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY STOP. IT IS EITHER IN THE ACCELERATOR OR THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SHIP CAN NOT MAKE IT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. *TR
