general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe

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.

Cracked dashboard. Took it to the dealer for the airbag recall and they cracked it even worse. The dealer said well it happens to all of them. They had no solution or anything.

I keep getting code p2138 car stalls check engine light turns on, stability control flashes. I have to erase code to get it drive again, but will do it again soon. Been doing it for 4+ years now. The worst time it has done it is when I'm in the freeway where I have to pull off to the side if I can, I almost got into a bad accident because of this issue. Took it to my mechanic and he says take it to the dealer. I've replaced gas pedal, throttle body and it still does it.

My emgine had just a little over 100000 miles on it and I almost got killed on the interstate. First I saw smoke coming from below and it looked like it was coming from the truck next to mine. Then I felt a stopping feeling in my Tahoe. I moved quickly to the service lane and got it immediately to my mechanic. I have records of regular services to my vehicle. I had to replace the motor $7239. 49. I had my attorney look into it and my year plus a few other years had the same problem but the dealer never recalled it.

In regards of my 2009 chevy Tahoe ltz this vechicle has had some issues in the few months of ownership. When ever the car is parked an you exit the SUV to lock it it does not lock you hear the clicking sound like its locked but when you try to open the door that should be locked it opens right up an the alarm goes off an to mention the door handles are chipping away an the plastic cuts almost every person that opens my doors that are not careful. An ive had to patch almost 5 places on my coolant an a/c lines that are aluminum very cheaply made.

20759945 fuel pump flow control module has a bad seal and gets water inside it just like the others that have been recalled on many gm vehicles including most other 2009 chevy Tahoe�s. This is terribly dangerous and I almost wrecked due to my vehicle not running right after driving through a puddle on interstate.

The chrome on the inside door handles for both drive and passenger side is peeling and is very sharp. My 12 year old recently cut his finger open attempting to open the door. Online research indicates that this is a known issue with these vehicles.

I have bought 4 door lock actuators and all keep failing there needs to be a recall. If there is a fire or an emergency I have kids and something may happen.

Warning light, turn off the engine. And the vehicle tugged forward. This vehicle has turned off on occasion and has had other engine warning lights. The engine warning light, now, remains lit.

Both door handles on driver and passenger side are this silver plastic that has began to peel up just on top of the handle exactly where you grab to open the door. Myself as well several people have sliced their finger open pretty bad on my door handles. Very poor quality.

Power locks on driver and rear passenger door stopped functioning properly ( will not lock or unlock ) . This could be a serious problem if in a vehicle crash as I would have trouble accessing my child in the rear seat. Could you imagine a car on fire and not being able to reach your child. Please issue a recall to have the door lock actuators replaced. This came up as a very common issue while searching for a remedy.

The wheel bearing broke.

The lock on the rear, driver side door does not work properly. It will not lock or unlock with the key fob. This is a known problem and gm refuses to cover the repairs unless the vehicle is under warranty. This is a safety issue. My son is in a car seat and is not able to unlock the door himself. There are multiple threads online of people all complaining about the same problem. It's an expensive repair. Shame on gm for not covering this when it is clearly a manufacturing defect!!!.

I have had to replace the brakes twice, as well as the driver side hub. I have replace the door trim at least 4 times. Everyone I have met that has the same year has had trouble with the trim. I also feel that the transmission has trouble shifting when towing.

Front passenger and driver interior door handles are peeling plastic with sharp edges. A child and an adult have cut their hands opening the door from the inside to get out. No stitches required but severe cut. I went to see about replacement. Told not considered defect and the same type of handles would be replaced at a cost of $800. Why would anyone replace them when you know the same thing will happen again with new handles. There has got to be a better solution for this defect.

Door lock on the driver's side rear doesn't not want to lock. Cannot lock the door by pushing the door lock button on the key fob or lock button inside the car.

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.
