general problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at approximately 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed to slow for a traffic light and the vehicle jerked while shifting into low gear. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal when the traffic light had changed, the vehicle hesitated before responding and was jerking and shuddering while changing gear and accelerating. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure became a recurring failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and had referred the contact the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

Periodicly, while driving in normal conditions, the radio will turn off, the instrument panel will blink, the door locks will repeatedly lock/unlock, transmission will feel like it is in neutral or the engine will completely turn off.

Cpm malfunctioned causing the throttle to become stuck in full open position. The vehicle was continued to accelerate and would not stop. Computer was stuck in 100% mode. Brakes including the emergency brake would not stop the vehicle. Tahoe continued to gain speed. Rpm's running between 500-600 rpm. Traffic was everywhere turning onto a 2 lane side road and notifying 911 I put the car in neutral and turned the engine off. The vehicle coasted for another mile or more before stopping. The brakes were smoking at that point.

When idling at a stop light the car continue to pull ahead as if I had my foot on the gas petal. 2nd item: developed a crack on the passengers side dash board close to the air bag cover. Both items rattle when I'm driving.

While driving approximately 70 mph. Vehicles engine and instrument panel cycled on and off randomly. Noting that once I was able to pull off the road and come to a complete stop the vehicle finally shutdown. Furthermore attempting to turn the truck on only resulted in flickering electronic equipment with no response from the engine. Two weeks following this event fortunately enough after the vehicle was parked we noticed that electric folding mirrors weren't responding to the push button actuating the folding mirrors feature. This event we were able to get on our camera phone. Same flickering of electronics and again the engine didn't respond, turn over. In both occasion it was only after sitting approximately 30min. That vehicle finally responded and turned on.
