2009 Chevrolet Tahoe

The dash and front and rear lights keep going on and off. And I changed all my lights on from and rear and it still happens there is a smell coming from my glove box. I can show you in person so we can see what can be done to fix this problem.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed oil leaking from the vehicle with the transmission warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the JB Weld and the driveshaft had failed, causing the transmission to fail and needed to be replaced. . The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted;. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. The VIN was not available.

System detected a slide that didn’t happen causing traction control to counter steer making the vehicle slide into a pole

P2138 code causing the car to have reduced engine power causing unsafe driving conditions and danger to other traffic. Vehicle has been to dealer multiple times for issue, ECM replaced costing thousands and still not working.

Dash cover is falling apart, a well known defect. I worry that an airbag deployment could cause dangerous shrapnel to be projected throughout the passenger compartment causing injuries like skin cuts and eye injuries.

I Keep getting code p2138 car stalls check engine light turns on, stability control flashes. I have to erase code to get it drive again, but will do it again soon. Been doing it for 4+ years now. The worst time it has done it is when I'm in the freeway where I have to pull off to the side if I can, I almost got into a bad accident because of this issue. Took it to my mechanic and he says take it to the dealer. I've replaced gas pedal, throttle body and it still does it.

My vehicle's throttle position sensor malfunctioned while I was driving on a busy highway at 55-60MPH, causing it to suddenly enter limp mode and display the error code P2138. This resulted in a rapid and unsafe reduction of speed to 30MPH, then down to 15MPH posing a hazard to myself and other drivers. Despite replacing both the gas pedal and the sensor itself in an attempt to rectify the issue, the problem persists. There are no prior reports made to the police, dealership, or insurance company regarding this matter.

Cracked 2009 Tahoe Dash

I have this car since 2018. The dashboard of this car was in good condition however in the last few months we have see cracks developing near the airbag and the driver steering wheel. These are deep cracks. The car was 100% parked inside the garage. We are concerned if the airbag function will be impacted due to this cracks

The Side area bags are Deployed a The vehicle is parked an not be operated. It wasn’t involved in any collision, The front Dash board airbags & steering wheel air bags aren’t Deployed an are in tact….there is No Body Damged or The Vehicle was Parked Not Being Operated for Over a month I Don’t understand How The Side air bags Have ruptured without any Cause That is Very Big Danger to My self an Family…There is No warning Lamps On Or Check Engine Light activated,

Cracked dashboard. Took it to the dealer for the Airbag recall and they cracked it even worse. The dealer said well it happens to all of them. They had no solution or anything.

I purchased the gm sts2 software and program my truck and now I have no brakes, have all lights on with calibration and rams problem I’m sure that the calibration they provided to me, costed this problem and none off the lights are turning off, the truck lost brakes I have to stand on the paddle to stop the truck. Now I have no choice to send it the GM for there mistake. I spoke to acdelco sts2 rep. And he couldn’t figure out the problem. And the hybrid system issue also. Both front air bag impact sensors cracks in the middle turns the light on. That’s been a fault with all gm trucks. They need to update this problem.

The dash board is completely falling apart. There are now 5 cracks and I am afraid that this could be a very dangerous situation. Apparently, there are many trucks like mine that have the same problem, but no action has been taken.

Recall #09V154000 should have been performed on my vehicle according to the list of VIN #'s affected, but it never was and I was never notified of the recall. I purchased this vehicle the month before this recall was announced in 2009 and did not start having safety issues until after my new SUV warranty had expired (how convenient). Over the years, I have spent thousands of dollars replacing all kinds of sensors, relays, batteries and various other parts trying to alleviate the unsafe electrical and loss of power issues that this faulty part continues to cause. I have taken this vehicle to my local dealership on countless occasions, complaining that the vehicle intermittently: does not start, the engine suddenly dies while driving on the highway or turning a corner (becoming unsteerable and the brakes won't work), suddenly decelerates, door locks cycle rapidly while driving, the check engine light and other warning lights/alarms come on, headlights and dash lights suddenly shut off, windows or AC stops working, and now the fuel gauge only reads 1/4 tank when I just filled it up. I took the SUV to my local dealer again today, explained the intermittent electrical and loss of power issues and history again and asked why this recall had not been performed or was not scheduled to be performed at any previous time that I had brought the vehicle in for diagnostics or service on these related issues. The service manager admitted that the recall had never been performed, but denied the possibility of the FSCM causing any of these issues, regardless of the recall notice stating they were. He then refused to perform the recall and said I needed to pay $380 to have another diagnostic scan performed. Never scheduling/performing the recall when the SUV was serviced countless times for related safety issues as defined in the recall notice that they never mailed to me and refusing to perform the recall today is a violation of the US NTMV Safety Act and should have consequences!

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk, accelerate independently and stall. The contact stated that the failures all occurred on different occasions. The contact stated the service engine warning light was illuminated.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIR BAGS RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTON HOOD CHEVROLET (212 HOLLYWOOD BLVD NW, FORT WALTON BEACH, FL 32548) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOON AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS MADE AN ABNORMAL CRACKING SOUND WHILE ACTIVATED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK. WORRIED ABOUT INTEGRITY OF DASH IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO PLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GM JUST RECALLED PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO 'SHRAPNEL' WHICH COULD ALSO BE PART OF THE DASH EXPLODING. FURTHERMORE, ONLY OPTION IS TO ADD A 'GLUE ON' COVER TO BUILD QUALITY TO OEM, BUT HAS POSSIBILITY TO COVER PASSENGER AIR BAG OR MAKE RECALL OF AIRBAG NOT POSSIBLE (OR OTHER REPAIRS POSSIBLE). GM SHOULD OFFER DASH REPLACEMENT AS A RECALL ALONG WITH PASSENGER AIRBAG.

FRONT DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. THIS IS NOT DUE TO SUN DAMAGE OR NEGLIGENCE. THIS IS A PRODUCT FAILURE.

2009 TAHOE HAS A CRACKED DASHBOARD IT'S VERY ENJOYING SOMETIMES CAN CAUSE A DISTRACTION FROM LITTLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD MAKING LOUD NOISES AND MAKES A CAR'S INTERIOR LOOK HORRIBLE IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT GM WON'T REPLACE THESE UNDER THE LEMON LAW IT WAS JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED TO CRACK

DAHSBOARD CRACKED AND SMELLED SMOKE NOW HEAR CLICKING NOISE IN THE DASH THINK THAT ITS RELATED TO AIR FLOW HEAT / AIR COND.
