16 Warning Light On problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 11/29/2012

On the date in question my teenage son and girlfriend came to a complete stop at a stop sign when, without any warning lights or other warning of any kind, the overhead side rail airbags on both passenger and driver side deployment simultaneously and the seatbelts lock up. Fortunately the kids were not physically harmed. Gm was contacted and they arranged an inspection of the vehicle including recovery of the encrypted black box data which confirmed the vehicle was not in motion and there was no explanation for the deployment. After about 2 months we were finally told the engineers had concluded that the sensors had been exposed to a lot of water damage and were severely corroded. They authorized a complete replacement of the Smart module, every airbag sensor, seat belt hardware and all incidental damage to the interior of the vehicle. I subsequently submitted a claim to gm for money damages in March-April 2013, and received a call in , regard to this two week ago. Gm offered a few meager items to try and settle the dispute, and in the process of this latest discussion, we were advised for the first time that not a single report made mention of any water or corrosion damage, but the engineering report found instead that inadequate door padding in all four doors from the factory allowed the sensors to vibrate excessively, thus causing the defective deployment. She admitted that gm had several similar problems with certain vehicles like ours made during a certain period of time. A couple of days later we spoke with our original claims rep who denied ever telling us that water damage and corrosion were culprits. She claimed to have made the repair decision on her own the first time and she was not aware of any engineering report regarding door padding. Since February my son has continued to drive a vehicle with a seriously defective air bag system.

17 Warning Light On problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 02/13/2012

The "service stability" warning message displayed, abs warning light, tc tire deflation, and brake failure light. The first failure occurred on or about February 13, 2012. I took the vehicle to the Chevrolet dealership immediately and the repair was completed by March 27, 2012 after 3 attempts. The computer tester was alleged to show that the ebcm had failed and was replaced. This did not clear the defect and the same warnings continued when ever the car was washed or became wet from rain. The defect was said to be in the wire that powered the ebcm in the proximity of the firewall. The wire was stated to be frayed. When the wire was replaced the problem was corrected. I am concerned that the wire may have been damaged from abrasion near the firewall combined with corrosion from road salt. This could have lead to failure of the abs, airbags, and stability control at a time when it is most needed.

19 Warning Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 12/01/2010

The first thing that happened is our right front door lock actuator went out and we just thought it was broken and have not had it fixed and then the service air bag warning light has been coming on for several thousand miles. Then the truck would not start and we replaced the battery but even after doing that there are times when the truck electrical system just goes dead and we can open the hood shake the wires or just wait and it starts working again. Then in the last few thousand miles the "stabilitrac warning light" comes on and a bell starts ringing and then the drive train does not operate correctly. I was on a project and my wife told me all this and she parked the truck and started driving my truck. When I got home I took it to allen samuels Chevrolet and they worked on it and said that the computer showed the air bags and stabilitrac showed something had happened and they reset it or something. I didn't get down the road 10 miles and the "service air bag warning light" came back on. They then wanted 112. 50 an hour to try and find out what was wrong. I took it home and a few days later I was driving it and came to a stop and the door locks started going up and down quickly, the stabilitrac light came on, and the truck would not go over about 2 - 3 mph per hour. I pulled over to the side of the road and after a mile or two everything started working again. When we got home I parked the Tahoe and turned it off and the whole electrical system went dead. We couldn't lock the doors. This has happened several times. I have called Chevrolet and they have said they would pay for 1/2 of the problem but you call the dealer and they will not give you a price, they just say it may be this and it may be that. It could cost thousands of dollars. All of these electrical problems are safety issues and could cost one or both of our lives or someone else. ?????.
