This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Just purchased truck it has not been 30 days and the service suspension system light came on and when I drive the car will accelerate faster on its own. Which was very scary with kids in the car now my engine light is on plus traction control and it sometimes won't go over 70 mph. I feel like I was told truck was in great condition but it's not and scared it might accelerate on its on with kids in car. I was on highway when this happened I work from home so I haven't really had chance to drive truck but I feel un safe driving it berger Chevrolet should be shamed I have called multiple managers with no call back
The dashboard is cracked in multiple areas causing rattling and plastic bits breaking off and falling into the dash area. I'm concerned this poorly structured dash will lose integrity enough to cause damage or potentially cause electrical malfunctions in other areas underneath the dash. This poor dash design is well known in the Tahoe community. The cruise control works sometimes and completely doesn't work other times. There is no consistency of when it will work or not work. When I hit the initial start up button on the steering wheel, the light on the wheel will light up. However, if I hit the 'set' button on the wheel, the actual cruise control will sometimes activate and the light on the dash will come on confirming it is set and working. But sometimes when I hit the 'set' button, nothing happens and the cruise control never activates. This is at any speed.
I started to encounter the following errors on my 2011 Chevy Tahoe; service traction control, service stabilitrak, engine power reduced during the winter months of 2012-2013. I could be simply doing the task of warming the vehicle up in the morning, driving on a paved road going 35mph, or full blown in the middle of freeway/highway traffic. The vehicle will violently start to idle with the warning indicators mentioned above, I then have to somehow pull over in the middle of traffic because I'm unable to get any power due to the engine power reduction. Shut the vehicle completely off and patiently wait until it decides to reset. This could happen once a day to multiple times a day. It could happen immediately one after another or at any given time. The service engine indicator will stay on for about a day before it goes away. Leaving you with the impression the vehicle is fine. Well it's not until it happens again and again. I was about to take my vehicle in right before it was turning spring weather was warming, (not sure if this had anything to do with the issue) but surprisingly it stopped. All spring and summer I had not one issue until now! January 8th 2014 and the weather is cold. This seems after reading on a few blogs on the web, numerous GM owners are having the same issue. They take the vehicle in to have serviced and the service fails. It sounds more like a faulty product which is unsafe having the engine power reduced with no ability to get out of traffic in the middle of the freeway.
Was driving highway when suddlenly the engine power was reduced and traction contriol stability track cam on and said to service was going 65 dropped to 45 almost got hit by rig.was near exit pulled off but car accelerated through light even though foot was on brake, took corner very fast and back into a gas station where I whipped it into park and shut off engine.turned engine back on after I calmed down check engine light was on, after idling forabout 15 min the same thing happened the engined reved then powered down etc.this happened 6 times just to get vehicle to dealer where it was the throttle positionong sensor, not covered by warranty of course. I am luck I did not lose my life.
The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated. The contact mentioned that the ABS, loss of power, check engine and the traction control warning lamps were illuminated immediately after the failure. In addition, the contact mentioned that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the throttle sensor and cables were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the remedy failed to correct the problem. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 4,000 and the current mileage was 17,000. Updated 07/02/12 the consumer stated the vehicle loss all power and the vehicle decelerated quickly. Updated 07/12/12
