A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 08 TAHOE'S INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES ARE FAILING TO WORK AT TIMES. MY SPEED GAUGE, GAS AND RPM GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. THEY STARTED BACK, BUT I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT I WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT AND REPORT THE PROBLEM. THE OIL GAUGE NEVER CAME BACK ON, IS THERE ANYWAY YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE? I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED.

TAKATA RECALL ON MY VEHICLE - WHY IS TAKING SO LONG TO REMEDY THIS RECALL? I ALSO HAVE A FEW OTHER ISSUES I WANT TO MENTION. I BOUGHT MY TAHOE IN JULY 2016, MY DASH IS CRACKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS VERY COMMON AND GM IS IGNORING THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE ALSO STARTED TAKING OFF ON ITS OWN, TOOK EXTRA PRESSURE TO STOP & RPM WOULD FLUCTUATE SPORADICALLY. AFTER CONTACTING A DEALER, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR BUT IT HAD EXPIRED WHILE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD POSSESSION AND WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND WOULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER REPLACING THE SENSOR, MY VEHICLE'S RPM STILL FLUCTUATES UPON STOPPING AND IDLE IS ROUGH. VERY UPSET CHEVROLET CUSTOMER NOW.

MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO THROUGH A SERIES OF PHASES EITHER WHEN I TRY TO START IT UP DURING A COLD DAY OR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS LEADS TO MY VEHICLE EITHER NOT STARTING OR WHILE DRIVING NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION BEGIN TO SLIP. IT CAN ALSO DIE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" WOULD COME ON FOR A WHILE AND CAN DISAPPEAR AFTER STARTING UP AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE SAME SERVICE ADVISER/MANAGER EACH TIME I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO CALLED GMAC TO GET THEM INVOLVED TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN EVER THE CODES ARE PULLED, THERE COULD BE AT LEAST 7 AT A TIME. I CALLED GMAC WENT I EXPERIENCED THIS FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND MY CASE NUMBER WAS 71-1326091502 ISSUED ON 07/02/2014. TODAY MY CASE NUMBER IS [XXX] WHICH WAS ISSUED ON 11/30/2016. I HAD MANY OTHER NUMBER IN BETWEEN AND CUSTOM SERVICE PERSONNEL (GMAC) ATTEMPT TO ASSIST ME AND THE RESULTS IN THE PAST HAS BEEN THE SAME EACH TIME. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE CONTINUE TO BE UNSAFE. I FEEL THAT NO ONE REALLY CARE BUT ARE GOING THROUGH THE PHASES TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO. MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GIVE ME THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 107,000 MILES, RIGHT AFTER MY 100,000 MILE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED WHICH COST ABOUT $2400.00. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAVE A TOTAL OF ABOUT NINE PLUS (PROBLEM MORE) MONTHS IN THE SHOP AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP OVER TIME WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH NO RESULTS AT THE END OF EACH TRIP BUT IT WAS TAKEN BACK FOR THE SAME THING EACH TIME. I FEEL AS IF EVERY ONE IS JUST COVING THEMSELVES BY MOUTH WORK WHETHER THAN BY ACTIONS. ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS VEHICLE SEEM TO BE A "LEMON" AND NO ONE HAS THE COURAGE TO SAY SO. MY VEHICLE IS AT AL SERRA CHEVROLET NORTH, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. 80920. THERE # IS [XXX]. MY # IS [XXX]. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
