Vehicle randomly throws stabilitrak, traction control and abs codes. Engine derates to limp mode. Transmission goes to full line pressure shifts. A cycle of the ignition system will reset the system a majority of the time. There is no "recall" but the general consensus in the mechanical world is two things cause this issue. Throttle body is bad and/or the steering position sensor fails causing the stabilitrak system to be disabled (which in a 2013 Tahoe, stabilitrak cannot be turned off) I have replaced the throttle body with an oem part and the problem still occurs with our vehicle. It is a big enough of a parts failure/equipment failure that most of my mechanic buddies I've talked to knew exactly what I was talking about and said I replaced these two parts and the problem was solved. May not be enough for a recall but a TSB really should be issued because I've found a lot of information online that a lot of people are having this same issue. Between this website's complaint section and other chevy/gm forums, I'm estimating 5000-10000 people have had similar issues with the stabilitrak being disabled somehow while driving. Manufacturers need to be held accountable for parts failures like this, as when recalls do finally happen, it is next to impossible to get the vehicle in and repaired in a timely matter (takata air bag inflator issue is a great example, our local dealer cannot give me an estimated date they can get the vehicle in for repairs because its a mass parts recall and the replacement parts are unavailable) incident has happened over a dozen times in the past 6 months but the additional details will not let me select multiple dates.
My 2013 chevy Tahoe ltz front tires are cupping on the outter edges and appear worn out. I took it to two different shops and had the vehicle aligned, balanced, and tires rotated. They were unable to diagnose the problem but highly recommended that the struts be replaced even if they are not leaking. I provided the dealership where I purchased the vehicle with original receipts to prove that I had took the truck in to two other shops previously. I also purchased a service warranty plan when I purchased the vehicle and although this repair is included, they refuse to fix the problem.
Excessive rusting and corrosion of frame.
The entire frame and all supporting bolts of the vehicle is rusting and rotting.
