The vehicle randomly loses or gains power while driving. All of the auto locks go up and down, while the cluster goes in and out with very high rpms and then completely loses power in the middle of the road. Or this happens and the steering gets very tough. It is very dangerous because there are times where it happens on the highway while doing up to 80mph. It also happens when sitting at line to pick up my child in pre-k. If it were to jump and the brakes weren’t hit fast enough it could really cause a horrible and possibly deadly situation. I have done everything that I can on my end with this truck. I recently replaced the battery and replaced the master fuse since reading it was the cause. That lasted for a week. I have read hundreds of owners with the same problems that have went to private owned mechanic shops along with gm certified mechanic shops. They have yet to find an answer to this possibly deadly malfunction. There are posts and websites all over sharing other owners with the same problems and all of their stories end the same. That gm along with any mechanic used has yet to find any results to this. I noticed that the 2015 model has a recall for this problem but doesn’t describe what is being done to fix the actual problem. It has the same engine and setup as far as I can see so I wonder why there isn’t a recall for the 2010. I have two school age children that have to be brought to and picked up from school daily. If you look up this problem online you will find endless stories and questions about the issue at hand. Most people end up spending thousands of dollars trying to fix the problem on new batteries, cables, starters, etc. However, they all end up with the problem being unresolved with all of that unnecessary debt. This is a very serious manner and I feel that it’s only a matter of time before lives are lost over this. I thank you for the opportunity to be heard and pray that a resolution comes sooner than later.

While driving in town or highway , door locks began popping up and down, dash gauges were going crazy and car began to be lose total electrical power. Engine cut out and died and almost rear ended by semi-truck. This issue has happened 20 plus times over the past 6 months and several times times this week driving in town and also on interstate 44 in missouri. The gm service technician does not know what the problem is or the cause. This issue is happening country wide to owners of chevy Tahoe's. This vehicle is now to dangerous to drive. My Tahoe has 71,212 miles on it. Can you please look into this issue?.

I purchased this vehicle used in the fall of 2019 at a used car dealers lot in oregon. In the summer of 2019 we started experiencing random no start problems. The first incidence we thought it was a faulty starter even though we could jump/short it across the terminal, and start the vehicle. After replacing the vehicles starter with a remanufactured non gm starter, we started having more no start problems. Remedy was arcing the starter posts across one another, and then vehicle would crank and start. We had the vehicle inspected by a gm dealer, our local mechanic, and they stated it had to be "dead" in order to diagnose the problem. Then a week later we had the car go into "anti-theft mode" while driving, and the speed and transmission slowed the vehicle nearly to a stop ,- all the lights started blinking, dic warning lights started flashing check stability, check blind side, check 4 wheel dr. , ect. . . Fortunately I was not far from home and parked the car in the driveway and shut it off. Immediately I tried to re-start the vehicle and we had a "no-crank" issue again. I checked and replaced all fuses relating to the stater even though not blown. We then had it towed to our local mechanic who is ase certified and he completely dismantled the under hood electronic fuse block, and the communication fuse block under the drivers side dash and to no avail- found no wiring or fuse problems. He diagnosed over 400 connections, and could not find anything contributing to the problems. He stated as soon as he unbolted the under hood fuse block the car started, but he continued the diagnostics as stated above. There is a third fuse block under the dash that sits beside the communication block, and has fuses that were checked as well. During July, August, October 2019, we had numerous no start/crank instances. Remedy is a large screwdriver and arcing the starter.
