Tire service warning light on, crackling sounds through the audio speakers, rear door ajar warning light on, windshield wipers and water go on while driving, stereo comes on while driving when it's not even on. This happens intermittently. 3-way chevrolet has attempted to identify the problem, most recently claiming it had to do with the alarm system which was replaced in 2010, but just yesterday 4/8/2010 while…

My chevrolet tahoe, despite regular maintenance per schedule, loses on quart of oil every 2500 miles. There are no leaks, smoking exhaust etc. The dealership told me this is a well known problem of unknown origin. The electrical systems on the vehicle have been a nightmare. The ignition will at times fail to turn off despite removing the key. The cruise control will pop out of cruise mode for no reason and will…

We took our vehicle to the dealer for a 3rd time now (look for my other complaint on this website on electrical problems/windshield problems) for the same problem plus a number of multiple other problems. The problem that the dealer can't seem to remedy is the windshield wipers and wiper spray keep coming on all by themselves and cannot be turned off unless you turn the vehicle off and then restart it. They've…

Electrical System
Vehicle will not hold programs, i.e., automatic seat positions, read out on the message center, etc. Also, if using the radio without the engine running, battery goes completely dead in about 30 min. Dealer could find nothing wrong after three hours of inspections, even though the battery drained. *jb

Dt*: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the stability track control and abs light illuminated during each incident. The radio went off suddenly and the back up camera blacked out suddenly without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealership three times but could not duplicate the problems. Each occasion after the vehicle was restarted, the dashboard lights were no longer illuminated and all…

The gauge cluster panel is shrouded which makes it hard to see the gauges during the late day hours or dim light days because the gauges are not illuminated. They only illuminate when the headlights turn on automatically (or if you turn them on). I think the headlight sensor is mis-programmed, because it seems to routinely activate too late, but on one occasion it activated when it was just getting dim, weird. The…

The monitor or sensor of the car was not detecting if the vehicle is functioning accurately. It is not detecting the pressure of the tire. So we went back to the dealership particularly to salesperson who sold us the car. He said, it does it sometimes. When we are fillin in its gas tank, it shuts off the gas nozzle after a gallon or two, which is actually strange, so we told the dealership again about it, they said…

After only one month of purchase auto start feature does not work unless you were 3 feet away. The vehicle once sat over night would make a really loud clattering sound when you would turn on the engine. I took the car into the dealer and told them about the problems the dealer indicated that they had to reprogram the software in the tahoe to reprogram auto start. The next morning i was called and informed that they…

Electrical System · Ignition
The heater fan does not run when i automatically start the vehicle with my remote starter/keyfob. What good is it to start your vehicle to warm it up if the fan doesn't start up to defrost your windshield? The gm remote starter was installed and programmed by the dealer after purchase. When it was checked, the fan ran and then didn't . I got it to run only if i am 3 feet away and start the vehicle (or sitting in it)…

When vehicle's exterior lamp control is in the "auto" position during daylight hours, most of the instrument panel gauges (speedometer, rpm, gas, battery, temperature, oil) are not illuminated and cannot be read without taking one's eyes off the road and focusing on the gauge in question, creating a safety hazard. Various features of the vehicle are specifically designed so that one does not have to remove the eyes…
