On february 7th the driver side airbag spontaneously deployed as my family and i were driving home from the store. we contacted gm to find out if there were any recalls on our vehicle. we were instructed there were not and we should contact gm customer service. on february 11th they had us take our vehicle to a gm dealership where they conducted and investigation to determine why. gm returned our vehicle to us on march 3rd stating the airbag deployment was caused by shorted wires in the wiring harness. since our vehicle was returned to us we have had several more issues that were not present prior to the airbag deployment. the driver seat is stuck in one position, the rear windows will not work, the rear locks will not work, the fuel system is leaking gas, and the battery is dead, even having to be jump started when it was returned to us. general motors refuses to do anything to correct the problems, stating these problems are not a manufacturer defect. however, when the airbag blew, while we were driving down the road, there was significant smoke inside the dash, we believe the airbag burnt/shorted the wires after ...

Rear lift gate will not unlock and it doesn't have a manual release inside nor does it have a key access from outside the vehicle to unlock it. if involved in an accident/wreck someone could be trapped in the vehicle with no way out. shift indicator light in dash does not illuminate - unable to tell what gear the vehicle is in. extreme safety hazards! chevy should be held responsible and issue a recall to prevent someone from being injured. *tr

My rear liftgate and window for my 2005 chevy tahoe will not unlock. this is a dangerous issue. i've read a blog of almost 300 different owners that are having this issue ...www.chefseattle.com/blog/site-news/suburban-rear-liftgate-wont-unlock-how-to-fix. is chevrolet going to be held responsible for this issue? what if there is an accident or fire in the vehicle and people need to escape through the rear liftgate door? is it going to take a death for someone to address this issue instead of charging owners almost $500.00 to fix this even though it is not our fault? *tr

I was at a red light and the car tried turning off and also i was on the highway and the car started slowing down. the dashboard lights have gone out on the radio and on the steeling wheel as well. i am very scared that this issue with the speed will cause me a fatal accident and i have two kids. *tr

The liftgate and glass will not unlock and there is no release from the inside so you are trapped if something happens. i have looked to see if there is a recall and there is not. i have contacted gm with no response as well as seeing hundreds of other people post online that are in the same situation. this makes the car a death trap in case of accident, fire, going in water as you cannot get out of the car from the inside if you are in the rear nor can someone run around the back and open the handle to try to get someone out in the case of an emergency. something needs to be done asap! *tr

When attempting to crank vehicle, it just turned over acting like it was not firing. will finally crank after several attempts. after having issue looked at by a mechanic, he stated that ignition was sending a false signal to cam. shortly after the odometer started giving a error and cannot get the present mileage any longer. just learned of this site and was trying to see if others were having the same problems. have not yet taken to mechanic on issue with odometer. *tr
