- What is wrong
- The vehicles have both the supplemental inflatable restraint (sir) label and an engine start label installed on the same side of the sun visor. This does not comply with fmvss no.208, "occupant crash protection."
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning label.
- Remedy
- The engine start label will be removed from the stowed side of the sun visor and a new engine start label will be installed on the headliner in the sun visor depression. Owners will receive the new label and can install the label themselves or have a dealer install it.

What 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Horn would sound while driving or when the vehicle is vibrated (example: door is shut, hood popped open, adjustment of steering column). Had this problem 2 time previously, a gm authorized dealership look at situation and could not find a problem without going into a detail diagnostic. Pulling the fuse for the horn would not stop the horn for sounding. Finally had to pull the horn relay located in the fuse box under the hood to stop horn from sounding. Finally had a detailed diagnostic was performed and the only thing that the dealership could find was a problem with the airbag. Supposedly the airbag expands when it the area around it heats up, which in turn applies pressure on the horn ring, ergo the horn goes off even when the fuse was removed. Dealership could not find an electrical problem during their 2 hours of diagnotics. Recommended soultion replace airbag / horn ring $638.00 (parts only). Supposedly new airbag has a new design to prevent this from occurring again.
With the cruise control engaged the vehicle experienced sudden acceleration the foot brake failed to disengage the cruise control resulting in vehicle collision, air bags failed to deploy upon impact and the seat belt failed to restrain him causing his head to strike the passenger side windshiled knocking him unconsious.

Re: incident ae00013 - the airbag light came on intermitantly, took it to dealer, they couldn't find problem with it. About a mont later the tahoe started intermitantly losing power when trying to accelerate, causing several near crashes. Took it again to the dealer that then determined the battery was leaking acid on to the airbag sensor. Had to replace the airbag sensor and battery. They charged over $700 to do so, including $89 labor just to install a new battery! About a week or so after that similar loss of power was occurring. Took tahoe to a different chev dealer who the found alternator was now bad, which I suspect may be related to the ongoing bad battery problems.
While driving on road traveling about 35 to 45mph came to an intersection, had the right of way when another vehicle traveling west failed to stop at a stop sign, and pulled out in front of consumer' vehicle. Consumer hit front left of the other car. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed. Contacted dealer and manufacturer. Would sent a representative to inspect the vehicle.
