Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the SRS indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called the local dealer (bill buck chevrolet, 2324 south tamiami tr., venice, fl 34293, (941) 584-8688) several times and was informed that the parts were not available. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 109,939. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet tahoe. When the vehicle was started, the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The dealer was contacted (gunn chevrolet, 16550 I-35, selma, tx 78154, 210‑599‑5000) and stated that the remedy was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. Additionally, the contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The failure mileage was approximately 157,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Stabilitrak will disengage, air bag light comes on then off, ABS light comes on then off, cruise stops working when using turn signal, door locks start unlocking then locking, brakes start applying themselves, engine slows to a crawl, lights start going on and off on the dash with dinging sound.
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 " 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. ?????
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet tahoe. While parked, the contact noticed that the passenger side air bag warning light was illuminated with the passenger seat occuppied. In addition, the gauges on the instrument panel would not provide an accurate reading. The failure would recur intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics but the technicians were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
