My check engine light and traction control light came on at approximately 157,000 miles. I was not safe. I was in the middle of the freeway. My Tahoe slowed and sputtered! I had to be towed. I got an inspection at Folsom Buick GMC in Folsom, CA at the recommendation of GMC General Motors Corporation. Fuel Injector #6 failed and required replacement. The dealership would not repair the fuel injector under the Special Coverage N182198000, stating your 7,000 miles over the special coverage. They wouldn't even provide a discount for the quoted $1832.00 dollar repair. Though General Motors Corporation sent me to their 3rd party partner for the inspection, they also refused to offer any help with
My chevy tahoe vibrates when i drive and the dealership can not find the reason why it does that.
The Active fuel management system caused the engine to fail
They radio screen and radio navigation system. It will run batteries down replaced 2 Batteries this year. Radio goes haywire changes channels, makes dinging sound, navigation goes off. Screen moves jumps changes volume. Hard to drive very distracting and navigation stops working. None of this will stop until the vehicle is turned off and generally on restart it starts back up. Makes for very unsafe driving distraction. It started about a year ago it would happen occasionally now itâs every time you start the vehicle and drive. The constant noise and movement is again unsafe distracting and disrupts driving and anyone trying to have a conversation in my vehicle. Very very unsafeâ¦
