2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Transmission Problems

TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE VERY LOW MILES AND DO NOT PULL/TOW ANYTHING. OUR DODGE & FORD BOTH HAVE WELL OVER 260,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. CHEAP PART WERE USED IN THIS TAHOE CAUSING MAJOR REPAIR FAILURES AND COSTS TO REPAIR

VEHICLE'S AUTOSTOP FEATURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVER IS TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND SLOW VEHICLE. VEHICLE JOLTS VIOLENTLY FORWARD UPON BREAKING AND ACCELERATES TO 10 MPH. VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 135K MILES DURING STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT IN HAYWARD CA IN DEC 2018. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. VEHICLE AT 145K MILES NOW IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN DURING AUTO STOP WITH LOW RPM'S WITHOUT ANY SERVICE CODES TO CHECK. AT ALL TIMES VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN ONE OF THE LIFTERS COLLAPSED , I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE I SUBMITTED ANOTHER COMPLAINT A WHILE AGO AND HADN'T HEARD NOTHING , NOW MY BACK HATCH WONT OPEN MY DOORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DON'T LOCK WITH THE BUTTON OR REMOTE I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT PUT MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE SINCE I GOT IT , IT HAS AN OIL ISSUE IT FOWLS OUT THE NUMBER 1 PLUG ALL THE TIME ,IVE CHANGED THE OIL SENSOR AND SENDING UNIT , THE SPIDER GEAR IN THE REAR END SHREDDED WHICH THERE KNOWN FOR HAD TO HAVE THAT REBUILT ,I HAD THE NEW VALVE COVER PUT ON , CV JOINT IS LEAKING , PAID OVER $2200 TO HAVE THE COLLAPSED LIFTER FIXED , MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN SAYING OIL GAGE, ALREADY REPLACED THAT ONCE MY CLOCK WONT WORK ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN MY DRIVEWAY

COLLAPSED LIFTER NUMBER 7 , REGULARLY FOWLS OUT THE NUMBER ONE PLUG, SPIDER GEAR IN THE REAR END SHREDDED HAD TO BE REBUILT , REPLACED VALVE COVER BECAUSE OF OIL ISSUE , REPLACED OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT , REPLACED BACK WIPER, PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS DONT WORK WITH BUTTON OR REMOTE , CLOCK QUIT WORKING, ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN

WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC COMING TO AUTO STOP THEN AUTO START VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN EVEN WITH BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED TO CONTROL VEHICLE FROM TAKE OFF AND GO THEN START STALLING SHAKING LIKE TRANSMISSION IS GONNA FALL A PART THEN SHUTS OFF. ONCE TURN IT OF AND RESTART VEHICLE GOES BACK TO NORMAL. UNTILL ITS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AGAIN PROBLEM REOCCURRING. DANGER TO BUMP INTO VEHICLES INFRONT OF YOU CAUSE ACCIDENT. ALSO VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT APPLYING GAS PEDAL AT 40 TO 50 MPH

MY COMPLAINT TOWARDS MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HYBRID IS WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCKS STALLS, TWICE ALREADY WHILE DRIVING OFF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE STREET IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME. IS GETTING TO A POINT THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY PLACE THEY KEPT IT FOR 8-10 THROUGH 8/17, PICK IT UP AND THE VERY NEXT DAY THE TRUCK BEGAN STALLING, DROPPED IT OFF ON A MONDAY 8/21, CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON FRIDAY 8/25 AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT BUT THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP IT OVER THE WEEKEND TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT AFRAID OF IT...I FEEL I AM RISKING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THE OTHER DRIVERS WHILE I AM ON THE RODE.

VEHICLE WILL JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AT TIMES AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AT TIMES BY ITSELF WITOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR. DEALER CLAIMS IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY BUT CANNOT REPLICATE PROBLEMS. I DISAGGREE WITH DEALER AND THINK VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH 69K ON THE DASH BY THE TIME I GOT TO 80K I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MISFIRES UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND OUT MY ENGINE LIFTERS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I CALLED GM THEY OFFERED NO REPAIR ASSISTANCE AND AKNOWLEDGED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY HAVENT RELEASED A RECALL TO HELP OR REIMBURSE THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE TO THE DEALERS 4 TIMES DUE TO STABILATRACK LIGHT COMES ON, THEN MY WINDOWS CONTINUE TO CLICK BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING WINDOWS WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ON THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE MEGA FUSE AND REPLACED IT. EVERYTHING SEEMED FIXED. I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND PULLED IT OUT APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS LATER TO GET TO MY SHELVES AND WHEN I WENT TO PULL IT BACK IN THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER YET DUE TO THE EXTREME COSTS THAT I HAVE CONTINUED TO PAY THE PREVIOUS TIME FOR IT NOT TO BE FIXED.. IT EFFECTS THE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO THE VEHICLE.

WHEN STARTED (USUALLY THE SECOND TIME OF THE DAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN TO WORK AND THEN HAVING SAT ALL DAY) THE VEHICLE COUGHS AND RUNS ROUGH FOR A SECOND. THEN THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO INPUT FOR A VARIABLE PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN IT DOES RESPOND IT MAY RESPOND TO PREVIOUS INPUT CAUSING UNANTICIPATED ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD TO USE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID A CRASH. THROWS NO CODES. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE REPRODUCED IT. IN ADDITION, AN INDEPENDENT SHOP SAYS THAT ON START/RESTART THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE IN THE STARTER/TRANSMISSION (THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IN THE TRANSMISSION IS USED AS A STARTER). DEALER DENIES HEARING THIS ALTHOUGH THE INDEPENDENT SAYS IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. *TR

HEARD A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE, SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. TOOK IN FOR INSPECTION WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A BROKEN BOLT ON EXHAUST MANIFOLD IN THE REAR. WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY AS IT FELL UNDER "EXHAUST" AND "FASTENER" COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND WILL CAUSE ME TO FAIL EMISSIONS WHEN I AM DUE, WHICH ALSO VIOLATES THE EPA LAWS. I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE WE DO NOT HAVE WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO RUST ISSUES. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE WITH SUCH A LARGE PROBLEM?? *TR

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, STABILITY 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. *TR

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, AT TIMES I PRESS HARDER AND HARDER BEFORE THE AUTO STARTS TO MOVE AND IT THEN GOES MUCH TO FAST. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY STOP. IT IS EITHER IN THE ACCELERATOR OR THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SHIP CAN NOT MAKE IT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. *TR

2008 HYBRID TAHOE SLOW REVERSE OUT OF PARKING SPACE, ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES. PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE CAME TO ROLLING STOP, 5-10 FEET WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. PRESSURE RETURNED AFTER CHANGING TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE AND PUMPING. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR CODES WHEN SERVICE CHECKED IT OUT. WE COMPLETED BUYBACK / LEMON LAW WITH REGARD TO THIS ISSUE AND TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AT DIRECTION OF GM ENGINEERS AND HAD SAME ISSUES PRESENT WITHIN 2-3 MONTHS. *TR
