1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2015

I have had my 2008 chevy Tahoe to the dealers 4 times due to stabilatrack light comes on, then my windows continue to click brake lights quit working windows won't roll up or down and sometimes the vehicle will not start. On the third time they said it was the mega fuse and replaced it. Everything seemed fixed. I parked the car in the garage and pulled it out approximately 7 months later to get to my shelves and when I went to pull it back in the same situation happened again. I have not taken back to the dealer yet due to the extreme costs that I have continued to pay the previous time for it not to be fixed. . It effects the complete electrical system to the vehicle.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2015

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.

3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2012

Heard a ticking sound coming from engine, sounded like an exhaust leak. Took in for inspection was advised that there was a broken bolt on exhaust manifold in the rear. Was advised it was not covered under warranty or extended warranty as it fell under "exhaust" and "fastener" components that are not covered. After searching the internet, I have found that this is a very common issue. This is a fire hazard and will cause me to fail emissions when I am due, which also violates the epa laws. I live in arizona where we do not have weather conditions that lead to rust issues. How can this be possible with such a large problem??.
