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.
