general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

When driving or sitting in a parked position the electrical system goes crazy. Radio, dash controls, bells, lights, unlock/lock all start going on and off randomly. While driving the car will actually die out and stall while the electrical system is going crazy. The electrical system then locked either my abs or 4wd on the back wheels causing the car to drive slowly then when I finally could pull over my car was smoking from under the entire car like it was going to catch on fire. This is completely unsafe. I was driving up a main highway when my truck started failing in the middle of traffic causing me to put the car in neutral and coast to the side. I then tried to start the truck again and it would not start at all. After turning everything on and off, moving the steering wheel it finally started again. Whatever electrical part or parts that run the entire car clearly have a major fault in them. This issue is clearly documented on videos and blogs from people who are having this problem for years. Search how to fix chevy electrical problems and you will see. This is not acceptable for so many years without gm having to fix this problem at some point. If you are not a mechanic and take your car in they are charging thousands of dollars to try to search for the problem. It seems to be the ground wires running from the battery on most vehicles or the fuse. This is a simple fix if you are a mechanic but taking it in to the shop they charge outrageous prices. This is also the second time this has happened. The first time this happened my door locks were being replaced and when they gave the car back to me I immediately had to turn around and go back. They replaced the battery and alternator at that time and it has worked fine until now.

I have never had any issues other than the recalls with my tahoe. I pulled into a parking space at my bank. As I got into the space. The brakes went to the floor and I put both feet on the brake pedal at this point. The rpms went up. It was like the engine came to life by itself. It self accelerated over the concrete spacer and sidwalk into the bank's brick wall. The airbag deployed upon impact. There was never a time it decelerated. There was no one in the car but me thankfully. There were no warning lights. There were no bells warning of the failure. I would estimate it took 2-3 seconds to go from almost stopped in a parking space to hitting the brick. I am so shaken by this incident and I have no idea what to do. GMC has been informed.

We had a 2009 Tahoe Hybrid for only 4 months. On several occassions beginning in March when driving at a low speed or coasting down hill, 'check brake' lights came on. I tried to slow by pressing on the brake pedal and the brakes went to the floor and the car would not stop. I had to coast to a parking lot, put the car in neutral/park and re-start the car. The car stalled while coming down hill - very dangerous. We took it back to the dealership. They charged the battery. The very next morning backing out of the garage,again brake pedal went to the floor and had to re-start.
