A number of warning lights came on including abs, stability control, and engine light, car lost power and shut off.

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.

Reduced power to engine while driving on a highway.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle began to shudder and jerk. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder and was towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the hydraulic lifters needed to be replaced. An engine overhaul was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Complain to dealer prior to gm warranty expiration and extended warranty expiration but now that warranty expired willing to investigate. Constant p0300 random misfire detected on cylinder 5. Misfires over 20 times within 60 seconds via gm fast test (launch software version v44. 30) happen at idle or in motion leveling / suspension / stability system constantly alert during motion. Also have crack on dash that leads to passenger airbag. If remote start is used loud grinding can be herd after idle for approximately 8 minutes or sooner.

I purchased this car with 69k on the dash by the time I got to 80k I started having problems with misfires upon further inspection I found out my engine lifters went out while driving on the highway in the vehicle went into limp mode. I called gm they offered no repair assistance and aknowledged this was a common problem. However they havent released a recall to help or reimburse the many people that have had this problem.

We had this same recurring problem with this Tahoe for the last 10k miles. Sometimes when driving at higher speed or just idling, it will display a "reduced engine power" and you will loose all power. Engine is still running and lights and radio will work, but you get no power when pressing the gas. Its scary because it happens so suddenly with out any warning. We have spend a couple of thousand dollars trying to trouble shoot this but it hasn't been solved. .

The truck was having dry start ups winter or summer. . Could hear the lifters tapping really hard until oil hits it,,lifters collasped on right side now the left is doing the same and warranty wont fix. . Also the leveling pump keeps going out and this it rhe second one in two years that had to be replaced. . Also the driver mirror will not role in so when I park noone wont hit it. . Also dash is craxk over the passenger side and driver side air bags. . Also the transmission is slipping into second gear and it rumbles inside when it drops to 4 cylinder. .

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle caught on fire. The vehicle was parked in a residential garage when the fire started. The contact stated that the vehicle had been sitting for 6 hours prior to the fire. The fire and police departments were contacted and responded to the fire. The fire department stated that the hottest part of the fire was on the driver's side between the engine and dashboard. The vehicle was not inspected. The failure and the current mileage was unknown.

First problem was the vehicle would not crank. The vehicle had to be jumped off and then it cranked quickly. While driving the vehicle, the window control, speakers and heater would go in/ out of operation. The speakers in all four doors would go out then come back on at different times. Sometimes they would work all at once, other times one, two or even three may come on and off. The heater would come on blowing some times then cuts off again and again. The heater blower would also blow at one speed then blow at another speed without anyone changing the settings. The window controls will make the heater blow stronger, then when the window control is released it will cut the heater off. The rear passenger window controls will not work at all. The rear passengers also can not get out of the vehicle. The vehicle has to be open from the outside for individuals sitting in the second row seats. The only control that will work the rear passenger windows is the driver side control. The vehicle also has a light smoke smell coming from the vents. The passenger side door in the front will open for the passenger sometimes then at other times someone will have to open the door from the outside. The vehicle will not crank back up after been cut off, it always has to be jumped off. The battery is drained everytime the vehicle is sitting down and not being operated. The vehicle was taken to the dealership numerous times without being fixed. Gm corporation was called and I was informed a recall was on some vehicles but not others. I was told that my vehicle was not listed as one thou. The dealership checked my vehicle and informed me that my vehicle didn't have any issues but then on a second request they informed me that my vehicle had a bad battery and was having firing trouble. They also informed me that I was not covered by my warranty.

While traveling out of town stabilitrac disabled engine power reduced on the highway. I had to pull over to the shoulder since speed was reduced. I had to turn off vehicle for a few minutes to let the ecm reset the fault. I distracted driver rearended the vehicle when I was stranded with my family inside the vehicle.

While I was driving the air conditioner blower quit blowing and today when I went to a dealer for help he told me how to diagnose the fan relay, but it performed correctly. He also told me that he has seen before on the Tahoes the a/c fan harness has melted before on this type of vehicle.

I was driving my truck to a softball game when I drove into the parking lot I noticed a burning smell. I parked in the parking lot and the smell got stronger. I didn't realize the smoke was coming from my hood until I got out of the vehicle. Two citizens that were walking by noticed the smoke and helped me open my hood and about thirty seconds later flames started coming up out of the engine by the upper right driver's side. A guy poured poweraide on the flames and it went out. After I made an insurance claim and called gm I found out it was the heated washer fluid that caused the fire. There was a recall on this specific item and I was informed they had fixed this recall in Jan. Of 2009. I purchased the vehicle in April of 2009 not knowing there had ever been a recall on my vehicle. Gm has not even sent a representative from their company to look at it or take care of the problem. I am having to pay for a rental car out of my own pockets to get to and from work.
