Ignition Switch Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe

Our car doesn't even have 100k miles and lost all power while driving to the speedometer as well as radio, lights, etc. . . We even took it to a mechanic who is also having troubles figuring it out. Paid over $500 to have them change the bcm and ignition switch still having issues to the point it will not start.

I am the original owner of a 1997 chevy Tahoe. The other day while listening to the expanding recall of gm vehicles I tried to remove my key from the ignition switch. To my surprise once the vehicle is started I can remove my key, shift into any gear and drive without a key in the ignition. Maybe this is due to the age of the vehicle, but it has only 148000 miles on it. Thought you would be interested to know. Could video this issue if you are further interested.

This vehicle,while driving,suddenly the radio goes off,the warning lights come up, the alarm goes off,and the locks start cycling, sometimes the engine goes off, sometimes the engine just jerks. When the engine cuts off,all the electrical system goes dead,I have to wait from 1 to 15 minutes for the system come back on. This vehicle has been on service five times for the same problem: the first time, they didn't find any problems. The second time, they said that the security alarm was the problem,it was removed. The third time they said that the mechanic forgot to connect some wires from the alarm,and also put some grease on the connectors. The fourth time the diagnostic was: faulty ignition switch and leaking battery. The fifth time the diagnostic was: coins inside the radio making a short, they removed the radio. Now, I'm driving without radio and it keeps doing the same. Today,(like many other times) I almost have an accident, the warning lights came up, the needles on the gauges went crazy, the engine jolted and the car came to a total stop. A car almost rear ends us, I was honked at by everyone, and I tried to turn on my emergency lights to warn others but they didn't respond, there was no power. Here we were completely stunned in the middle of the presenting a clear danger to the drivers around and the car wouldn't respond. A few minutes later,which felt a lot longer,the car came back to life and we were able to drive off. Every time it is a different story and the diagnostic always seems to change. The mechanics can¿t pinpoint the error so they are simply guessing. I ask gm to take full responsibility for the car. I am frightened to drive the vehicle. I¿m risking my own life and the life of my family and others. Unfortunately,I need transportation and I have no choice to keep driving a defective vehicle.

Suspected defective ignition switch and/or ignition switch passlock security on or about Jan 17 2014 I was traveling about 30 mph when the engine stalled with loss of power steering and brakes.

On Jan 14 when at a gas station the engine stalled but I was able to move the car to the curb. After 10-15 minutes I was able to restart and drive normal. * passlock ignition security feature is widely reported to be a cause of these symptoms.

Approximately 5:50 p. M. As my daughter and I were driving down a busy road the car stopped without warning. Many of the dashboard lights came on and the steering locked. I was able to crank again to pull it into a business parking lot. I was not completely in the parking space and was concerned about upsetting the flow of traffic for this business, but could not crank the car to get it completely in the parking space. As I was out of town, the vehicle had to be towed approximately 75 miles. When the guy came to tow the car all the lights were still on, steering still locked and unable to start engine up. The guys at the Chevrolet dealership where it was towed started working on the vehicle on Friday morning by closing they still had not figured out the problem with the car. Around lunch time on Monday they realized it was the ignition switch. The part was $49. 52 but the labor was costly. I ended up paying $476 to have the vehicle repaired. Really did not feel safe driving the car for quite some time. Can't believe my vehicle will not be covered under this recall when it is the exact same symptoms. My statement on the repair order states, "the customer says the car stopped as she was driving down the road. ".

I have an 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe ltz that has several electrical issues. My local chevy dealer (lakeside Chevrolet in warsaw) hooked it up on their computer system and can't find anything wrong, so the dealer where I purchased this used vehicle (theautopark. Net) replaced the ignition switch because they "think" that may be what's causing my vehicle issues. Below are the various issues that I am experiencing: 1. Periodically, the door locks will cycle up and down and the power on the dash (radio, headlights, etc) goes black and the vehicle sputters like it's going to die (even while driving down the highway) 2. After that happens, and the vehicle comes out of this state, but if you smash down on the pedal the whole thing will occur again (huge safety issue while on the highway. . . No headlights and decreasing speed) 3. Sometimes, the vehicle won't start (nothing happens) 4. The cd player sounds like the motor inside is constantly running. The dealer (theautopark. Net) said this is a cooling fan. . . But it always runs? 5. The vehicle will completely die when placing the car in park and shutting off the engine (no power. . . . Nothing. Coasts to a halt. ) note: we've already replaced the battery and still have all of the aforementioned issues. Update: the ignition switch replacement was a huge fail. On the way home last night, the vehicle did some really wacky things when I used my turn signal (the vehicle slowed dramatically while driving down the highway and the headlights and dash lights flickered off and on). All of this has made me angry enough that I disconnected the battery overnight to reboot the computer. . . . I don't know if this helped or worked, but I am desperate enough to try anything right now because my family's safety is in jeopardy.

My 3 year old nephew was able to get into his parents 1996 chevy Tahoe and was able to turn the key to the first click (before the click to turn on the radio and power windows, etc. ). Then without touching the brake, the toddler was able to pull the shifter into neutral and the vehicle was able to move.
