43 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

Gm products now have an unsafe condition when unlocking the doors. The vehicles turn on the reverse lights when the doors are unlocked, leading other drivers to believe that the car is backing up. This causes other drivers in parking lots to stop when they should not thinking that the car is about to back up, and will ultimately cause drivers to ignore gm product reverse lights as they are not used solely for backing up.

67 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/14/2011

While the vehicle is in motion, the door locks begin to cycle (up and down), the clock resets itself to twelve, static runs through the radio, the console lights (lighting, engine ck, stabilty control) flicker on and off and the transmission downshifts at will. The effect on the transmission is of particular concern because at highway speeds the vehicle abruptly slows down causing a potential hazard for the driver, its occupants, and others. Once the vehicle ignition is turned off, all power inside, dome lights, radio, etc turn off and the vehicle will not restart until the battery cable is moved back and forth and a connection is reestablished. This is the second time I have taken the vehicle to the dealer and they have been unable to replicate the malfunction.

68 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 03/01/2011

One of the running/driving white lights has burned out and not just once. After replacing this bulb twice it only took a matter of a few days for it to burn out again. Many same style Chevrolet vehicles (mainly Tahoe, suburban, silverado, and avalanche) are the vehicles with this issue. On any given day I drive around town or out of town I notice atleast 10 vehicles with this same issue. If these lights are installed for safety reasons (particularly in the gray northwest) I believe both lights should be working as intended.
