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.

I REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO CHEVROLET I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR RESEARCH. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES IN MY CAR. SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING THE BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGE AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING THROWN FORWARD. I TOOK THIS TO SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SINCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY TOLD ME, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAG. I FEEL THAT SINCE I DID REPORT THIS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MORE DIAG. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR, UNTIL A NEIGHBOR WITH THE SAME CAR ASKED IF I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES MY CHEVY CARES CASE NUMBERS : [XXX], [XXX] AND [XXX]; [XXX]*DT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

IN REGARDS OF MY 2009 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ THIS VECHICLE HAS HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN EVER THE CAR IS PARKED AN YOU EXIT THE SUV TO LOCK IT IT DOES NOT LOCK YOU HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND LIKE ITS LOCKED BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR THAT SHOULD BE LOCKED IT OPENS RIGHT UP AN THE ALARM GOES OFF AN TO MENTION THE DOOR HANDLES ARE CHIPPING AWAY AN THE PLASTIC CUTS ALMOST EVERY PERSON THAT OPENS MY DOORS THAT ARE NOT CAREFUL. AN IVE HAD TO PATCH ALMOST 5 PLACES ON MY COOLANT AN A/C LINES THAT ARE ALUMINUM VERY CHEAPLY MADE.

MY 2009 HYBRID TAHOE ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY ON OCCASION. THE ISSUE ARRISES COMMONLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM STARTS/STOPS THE GASOLINE ENGINE REGULARLY. I NOTICE IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN SWITCHING GAS/ELECTRIC MODES THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. THE FEELING IS THE SAME AS LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I CAN AND IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM POINTS TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP(S) AND/OR CONTROL MODULES. WHEN THE SYSTEM OPERATES ON THE GAS ENGINE, THE HYBRID TAHOE'S TRANSMISSION RELIES ON AN ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC FLUID PUMP. WHEN THE SYSTEM SWITCHES TO ELECTRIC MODE, AN AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP TURNS ON, DRIVEN BY AN INDEPENDENT ELECTRIC MOTOR. THE LURCH I DESCRIBED RESULTS FROM WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FAILING PUMP OR CONTROL MODULE, OR A COMBINATION OF THE BOTH WHICH ENGAGES GEARS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. THIS LURCH IS RATHER DANGEROUS AS I HAVE HAD TO JUMP ON THE BRAKES MANY TIMES TO AVOID REAR ENDING OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN, DRIVE OR HAVE DRIVEN THESE GMT900 SERIES HYBRIDS (2008-2013 CHEVY TAHOE/SILVERADO HYBRIDS, GMC YUKON HYBRIDS, CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRIDS) ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE DESCRIBED THE DREADED LURCH. SOME SAY REPLACING THE ELECTRIC AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP SOLVES THE PROBLEM, OTHERS STILL HAVE LURCHING ISSUES. ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO DRIVES A CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRID CLAIMED TO HAVE ACTUALLY REAR ENDED SOMEONE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE LURCH. AS FOR MY PERSONAL CAR, THE LURCH OCCURS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, HOWEVER I FEEL ONE MAY BE IMMINENT. HERE IS A LINK TO A TAHOE/YUKON OWNERS FORM WHERE I HAVE SHARED SOME OF MY FINDINGS: HTTPS://WWW.TAHOEYUKONFORUM.COM/THREADS/HYBRID-TRANSMISSION.104102/

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS MADE BY TAKATA. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME THERE WAS NOT A FIX. EVERY TIME I RETURN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE RECALL AND I AM TOLD THE SAME THING. TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG SINCE IT COULD AFFECT MY FAMILY. I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I AM SCARED EVERY TIME WE GO IN MY CAR FOR FEAR OF THE AIR BAG EXPLODING AND KILLING MY FAMILY WITH FLYING METAL. TWO YEARS US WAY TOO LONG. REPLACE THE BAGS AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND PREVENT LAWSUITS FROM HAPPENING.

I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS, HOWEVER I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. "THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD THE POWER LIFTGATE UP WHEN OPEN," SAID NHTSA IN ITS RECALL SUMMARY. "THESE STRUTS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE MAY SUDDENLY FALL.

I SPOKE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO SAID PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE YET AND THEY GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO GM/CHEVROLET. WHEN I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET THEY TOLD ME, THE DECISION FROM THE NHTSA HASN'T BEEN MADE, THEY HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO SHIP OUT TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO UNTIL THE DECISION IS GIVEN ON WHAT VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM/CHEVROLET GAVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE NHTSA TO CONTACT THEM AND SEE IF THEY HAD ANY OTHER INFORMATION ON HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL. I SPOKE WITH BEAU FROM NHTSA ON 5/25/2018 AT 1:23PM PST, AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE PETITION HAD BEEN DECLINED IN 2017, AND THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY GM/CHEVROLET HASN'T UPDATED THEIR INFORMATION. HE TOLD ME THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT UPDATED EVERYDAY AND I COULD CHECK THE STATUS THERE. WHEN I CHECKED THE STATUS, THIS IS WHAT CAME UP. SAME THING GM/CHEVROLET TOLD ME, THERE IS STILL A PENDING RESOLUTION. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF?
