2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE Air Bags Problems

Dash cover is falling apart, a well known defect. I worry that an airbag deployment could cause dangerous shrapnel to be projected throughout the passenger compartment causing injuries like skin cuts and eye injuries.

Cracked 2009 Tahoe Dash

I have this car since 2018. The dashboard of this car was in good condition however in the last few months we have see cracks developing near the airbag and the driver steering wheel. These are deep cracks. The car was 100% parked inside the garage. We are concerned if the airbag function will be impacted due to this cracks

The Side area bags are Deployed a The vehicle is parked an not be operated. It wasn’t involved in any collision, The front Dash board airbags & steering wheel air bags aren’t Deployed an are in tact….there is No Body Damged or The Vehicle was Parked Not Being Operated for Over a month I Don’t understand How The Side air bags Have ruptured without any Cause That is Very Big Danger to My self an Family…There is No warning Lamps On Or Check Engine Light activated,

The dash board is completely falling apart. There are now 5 cracks and I am afraid that this could be a very dangerous situation. Apparently, there are many trucks like mine that have the same problem, but no action has been taken.

DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK. WORRIED ABOUT INTEGRITY OF DASH IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO PLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM JUST RECALLED PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO 'SHRAPNEL' WHICH COULD ALSO BE PART OF THE DASH EXPLODING. FURTHERMORE, ONLY OPTION IS TO ADD A 'GLUE ON' COVER TO BUILD QUALITY TO OEM, BUT HAS POSSIBILITY TO COVER PASSENGER AIR BAG OR MAKE RECALL OF AIRBAG NOT POSSIBLE (OR OTHER REPAIRS POSSIBLE). GM SHOULD OFFER DASH REPLACEMENT AS A RECALL ALONG WITH PASSENGER AIRBAG.

FRONT DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. THIS IS NOT DUE TO SUN DAMAGE OR NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A PRODUCT FAILURE.

Mileage: 100,000

DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND NOW CHUNKS ARE FALLING OFF.

Mileage: 98,000

I HAVE A DASH THAT IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS. I THINK THERE MAY BE A FUTURE ISSUE AFFECTING THE AIR BAGS.

Mileage: 25,000

THE DASH ON THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. CONCERN IS THERE MAY BE HUMIDITY INGRESS TO THE AIRBAG, THE ELECTRONICS OR SUB ASSEMBLIES INCREASING THE RISK FOR AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ANOMALY. ANOTHER CONCERN IS PLASTIC OR METAL FROM THE DASH COULD ALSO IMPACT THE AIRBAG (DEFLATION) OR PRESENT INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS (FLYING PARTS). A LESSER CONCERN IS THE SENSORS FOR THE AUTOMATED AC/HEATING SYSTEMS IN THE CAR. BELIEVING THEY ARE CALIBRATED WITH SEALED INTACT COMPONENTS. THE LARGER SPLIT AT THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ONLY RECENTLY HAPPENED WHICH MAKES THIS A CONCERN THAT THERE ARE LARGER MORE UNDERPINNING ISSUES NOT FULLY REALIZED.

Mileage: 163,000

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES NEAR THE PASSENGER DASH AIRBAG AND DIRECTLY UP THE DASH WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS LOCATED. I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

DASH BOARD ABOVE STEERING WHEEL WELL TO WIND SHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PANEL IS CRACKING AND CONTINUES TO GROW IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THIS WAY AND OTHERS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUES.

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE SPOKEN TO WITH 2007-2013 YEAR MODEL CHEVROLET VEHICLES MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW. I AM WORRIED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE CRACK. I HAVE CONTACTED GM FOR HELP BUT THEY OFFER NOTHING. THE CRACK HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS AND IS NOW REALLY BAD. GM IS PITIFUL

DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG AND TOP OF INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF DRIVER, CAUSING POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITIONS IN A COLLISION. CRACKS OCCURED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND DASH WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY PHYSICAL ABUSE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS MADE BY TAKATA. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME THERE WAS NOT A FIX. EVERY TIME I RETURN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE RECALL AND I AM TOLD THE SAME THING. TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG SINCE IT COULD AFFECT MY FAMILY. I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I AM SCARED EVERY TIME WE GO IN MY CAR FOR FEAR OF THE AIR BAG EXPLODING AND KILLING MY FAMILY WITH FLYING METAL. TWO YEARS US WAY TOO LONG. REPLACE THE BAGS AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND PREVENT LAWSUITS FROM HAPPENING.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TWO YEARS AGO AND MY AIR BAGS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I WOULD CALL I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR A TAKE IT TO THE DEALER LETTER. TODAY I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE WERE SAFE AND I WOULD NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE TO REPLACE. THE GM STATEMENT WAS READ TO ME AND WHICH IN ESSENCE STATED THAT THE CURRENT AIR BAGS WERE SAFE AS TAKATA HAD MANUFACTURED THEM UNDER THE GUIDELINES OF GM AND WERE NOT SUSPECT IN BEING DEFECTIVE. IS THIS TRUE??

WHY IS THERE NO REMEDY FOR MY VEHICLE AND ALL OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER? I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME IT IS TAKING. I SPOKE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO SAID PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE YET AND THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO GM/CHEVROLET. WHEN I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET THEY TOLD ME, THE DECISION FROM THE NHTSA HASN'T BEEN MADE, THEY HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO SHIP OUT TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO UNTIL THE DECISION IS GIVEN ON WHAT VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM/CHEVROLET GAVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE NHTSA TO CONTACT THEM AND SEE IF THEY HAD ANY OTHER INFORMATION ON HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL. I SPOKE WITH BEAU FROM NHTSA ON 5/25/2018 AT 1:23PM PST, AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE PETITION HAD BEEN DECLINED IN 2017, AND THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY GM/CHEVROLET HASN'T UPDATED THEIR INFORMATION. HE TOLD ME THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT UPDATED EVERYDAY AND I COULD CHECK THE STATUS THERE. WHEN I CHECKED THE STATUS, THIS IS WHAT CAME UP.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!!

TAKATA RECALL. DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE

MY AIRBAG IS UNSAFE...AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT HAS UNSAFE PARTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PROBLEM IS ALLOWED TO GO UNSOLVED, ESPECIALLY WHEN GM AND TAKATA BOTH KNOW ABOUT IT.

VEHICLE DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING AROUND THE AIR BAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CAN AND WILL AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND COULD SEND FLYING DEBRIS INTO THE VEHICLE OR CUT THE AIR BASE UPON DEPLOYMENT. SOME ESTIMATES ARE THAT 80% OF THE 2009 MODEL YEAR HAVE CRACKED. DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND HAVE REPAIRED SO MANY THEY HAVE IT DONE TO HALF A DAY. COST TO REPAIR IS 1200 DOLLARS. GM WAS CONTACTED AND STATE THEY CANNOT HELP US DUE TO THE FACT WE ARE SECOND OWNERS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NOT BE OFF ROAD NOR HAS IT HAD ANY CHEMICALS PLACED ON THE DASH. CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME PLACE AS EVERYONE ELSE'S. SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. IN MY WIFE'S CASE, HER VEHICLE, IN MY OPINION, IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER CALLING GM AND THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY, THEY HAVE OFFERED NO HELP EXCEPT TO CHARGE ME FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SELL THESE VEHICLES KNOWING THE DASH WON'T LAST AND THEN TAKE NO ACTION TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE ONE OF THESE CRASH TESTED WITH A BIG PIECE OF BROKEN PLASTIC IN THE FLIGHT PATH OF AN AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL NO REMEDY SINCE MAY 2016

WITHIN LAST 90 DAYS DASH HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, WHICH RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE BOLT ATTACHMENT POINT. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE DRIVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL (IN MOTION OR NOT) HAS A SLIGHT RUBBING SOUND, AND I AM TOLD BY REPAIR SHOP THAT IT IS THE WOUND WIRE IGNITION LINE TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT BOTH DEFICIENCIES IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, COULD PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, OR CASE THEM TO GO OFF WITHOUT A FRONT END IMPACT TO THE SENSORS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS, AND GM ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE, UNLIKE FORD & TOYOTA. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE ISSUE, IT IS A PLASTIC INTERIOR PART, AND UNRELATED TO MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND NOT PARKED IN SUN FOR LONG PERIODS.

DASH CRACKING SEVERELY AROUND AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE,, IF DEPLOYED MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE FROM SHRAPNEL FROM BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES. THIS ONGOING AND PROGRESSIVE, STARTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO

TAKATA RECALL THIS ENTIRE RECALL REEKS OF A BACK OFFICE DEAL WITH GM AND NHTSA. IN ONE PARA GM STATES THAT " IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." YET THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE STATES " GM CONSIDERS YOUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE". YOU SHOULD PUT PRESSURE ON GM TO FIX THIS AS OPPOSED TO SRRINGING IT OUT FOR EVER. D A LUNDY

MY DASH IS CRACKING AND GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PICTURES OF SIMILAR GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY INSURANCE ON THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. MY ONE OF MY CRACKS HAS REACHED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND MAY BECOME A HUGE LIABILITY FOR THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS ON MOVING FORWARD?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM CAN PUT THE REPLACEMENT OF TAKATA AIR BAGS OFF AND PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. I UNDERSTAND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES HAVE ALREADY STARTED REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. DON'T THEY KNOW THERE IS A DANGER. THE STATEMENT FROM GM TO ME IS IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR. IF SO WHY DO THEY HAVE A RECALL AT ALL?

DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS CRACK AND MAY BE HAZARDOUS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEIR TAHOE HAS THE SAME CRACK IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND REPOSITIONED ITSELF. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS UNTIL THE DASH REPOSITIONED ITSELF. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE. THIS REPOSITIONING IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CRACKS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG APPEARS TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS CONDITION POSING A SAFETY RISK TO ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THESE RISKS INCLUDE IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG PREVENTING PROPER PASSENGER PROTECTION IN A COLLISION AND PIECES OF THE DASH BECOMING SHARP PLASTIC PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I STARTED TO HEAR THIS CRACKING SOUND IN WHICH I NOTICED THAT THE CRACK WAS COMING ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE FROM THE AIRBAG AND CAME ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND UP TOWARDS STEERING WHEEL. NOW IT JUST FLAPS WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS OPEN AND EXPOSED AND I AM VERY CONCERNED IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY AT THIS POINT. MY TAHOE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MIGHT I ADD. IRONICALLY MY SISTER HAS THE EXACT SAME CAR AS ME AND SHE HAS THE EXACT SAME CRACK IN HER DASHBOARD AS WELL STARTING AND ENDING IN THE SAME PLACE.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. WHAT IS ALARMING IS THERE ARE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IF IT EVER DEPLOYS I'M AFRAID THERE WILL BE EXPLODING PIECES OF THE DASH GOING EVERYWHERE. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TIGHT AND WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL FULLY RETRACTED.

CRACKS ON DASH AND CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON DASH

Mileage: 124,000

MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS DEVELOPED NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IS I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ARE PIECES OF THE DASH GOING TO BE SHOT AT/INTO PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER/ I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM/CHEVROLET TO REPLACE AND THEIR OPTION WAS FOR ME TO SPEND $800 TO REPLACE THEIR DASHBOARD THAT HAS MATERIAL DEFECTS. THAT DOES NOT SEEM ACCEPTABLE AND I AM SURE IS NOT PRACTICAL CONSIDERING I HAVE READ THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAN THE NHTSA HELP?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES, PIECES FALLING OFF INSIDE DASH AND RATTLING. 2 PLACES ON DASH WHERE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS AND KEEPS GETTING WORSE. AFRAID OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE CRACKS ON THE DEPLOYMENT AREA AND POSSIBLY HAVING SHARDS OF HARD DASH PIECES FLYING AND HITTING/HURTING SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF.

THE DASH ON MY TAHOE HAS BROKEN RIGHT NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN A PIECE OF IN THE AIR BAG. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AS THE DASH IS NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND. MY FEAR IS THAT IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WILL BE EMBEDDED IN THE PASSENGER. THIS IS THE ONLY DEFECT ON THE DASH AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED AT THE WEAKEST POINT.

Mileage: 108,000

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS AND ONE IS RIGHT AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX CAUSE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

MY DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING AND I HAVE A CRACK IN BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY AND ENGER MY PASSENGER IN THERE FACE. I'VE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I'VE GOTTEN NO HELP, ESPECIALLY NOW SINCE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I REALLY HOPE I CAN GET SOME HELP WITH THIS MAJOR PROBLEM AND CONCERN I HAVE WITH MY DASH.

I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD GOING TO MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD COULD POSSIBLY ALTER THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND HAS COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD AS A WHOLE. THERE HAVE SINCE DEVELOPED TWO ADDITIONAL, LARGER CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, FURTHERING THE DASHBOARD INTEGRITY PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO CHEVY AND GM AND THEY BOTH REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM (AND COUNTLESS, UNKNOWN PEOPLE HAVE NOT REPORTED IT, OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO, OR WHERE TO REPORT IT, OR WHO TO REPORT IT TO.) BOTH GM AND CHEVY REFUSE TO PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING AND WILL ONLY DISCUSS THE ISSUE OVER THE PHONE AND HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THEY WILL NOT REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS FOR FREE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH GM TRUCKS (1500, TAHOE, SUBURBAN, YUKONS, ETC.) *TR

CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAVE BEEN APPEARING OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS. GM AND CHEVROLET REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A FLEETWIDE PROBLEM AND WILL ONLY PAY FOR PARTIAL REPAIRS. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS IN APPROXIMATION TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND HOW THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WILL AFFECT THE DASHBOARD (AND VICA VERSA) IS UNKNOWN AND WORRISOME. GM AND CHEVROLET REFUSE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PART REPLACEMENT ON THEIR VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE THAT AFFECTS HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED IS OUR RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WENT OUT AND WE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BROKEN AND HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED AND THEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES. THEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND WE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT EVEN AFTER DOING THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM JUST GOES DEAD AND WE CAN OPEN THE HOOD SHAKE THE WIRES OR JUST WAIT AND IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THEN IN THE LAST FEW THOUSAND MILES THE " WARNING LIGHT" COMES ON AND A BELL STARTS RINGING AND THEN THE DRIVE TRAIN DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. I WAS ON A PROJECT AND MY WIFE TOLD ME ALL THIS AND SHE PARKED THE TRUCK AND STARTED DRIVING MY TRUCK. WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK IT TO ALLEN SAMUELS CHEVROLET AND THEY WORKED ON IT AND SAID THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED THE AIR BAGS AND STABILITRAC SHOWED SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED AND THEY RESET IT OR SOMETHING. I DIDN'T GET DOWN THE ROAD 10 MILES AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT" CAME BACK ON. THEY THEN WANTED 112.50 AN HOUR TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT HOME AND A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING IT AND CAME TO A STOP AND THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN QUICKLY, THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO OVER ABOUT 2 - 3 MPH PER HOUR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER A MILE OR TWO EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. WHEN WE GOT HOME I PARKED THE TAHOE AND TURNED IT OFF AND THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT DEAD. WE COULDN'T LOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE PROBLEM BUT YOU CALL THE DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU A PRICE, THEY JUST SAY IT MAY BE THIS AND IT MAY BE THAT. IT COULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND COULD COST ONE OR BOTH OF OUR LIVES OR SOMEONE ELSE. ????? *TR
