I have a recall on my air bag and i want it fixed before it becomes a problem
Electrical problems resulting from burned washer fluid heater
My 2007 chevrolet tahoe will sporadically display two m.i.l. 's - service traction control and service stabilitrak. i have spent close to $4,000 on different parts, as well as having the heads completely rebuilt about 5 months ago. the only trouble codes it shows when hooked to a scanner are a p0300 (generic misfire detected) p0301 (misfire cylinder 1) and 0443 (evap emission control system valve circuit). after several months of research online, it is blatantly obvious that there are several thousand people experiencing the exact same issues. it appears there is no direct surefire resolution. but rather a common occurrence that is sometimes very labor intensive and extremely invasive to track down the specific problem. i have replaced the brake light control switch, added a secondary backup battery as well as additional positive and negative cables, replace the plugs, plug wires and ignition coil packs. it seems to be a recurring issue and at this point i have as much money invested in repairing the vehicle as i have spent purchasing it. i am not the type of person to sell this truck and let's have the misfortune of dealing with such issues but after several thousand dollars ...
While driving my 2007 chev tahoe today, while in motion, the stabilitrak warning came up on my dash along with traction control warning. then the engine started struggling. i googled these problems and it appears gm recalled models from 2014 and 2015 with the same issues. they need to recall all impacted models. if this causes the engine to lose power, it could cause a dangerous situation.
Recalls on numerous gm vehicles for catching fire: the vehicle was setting in driveway for over 7 hours and neighbors were awaken by loud explosion and looked out and saw flames under the hood. they woke myself and my daughter up out of deep sleep and car was engulfed in flames. from front bumper to back cargo area total loss. fire department came but couldn't salvage the car. the garage door, garage entry door and downstairs basement were damaged ad possible replacement on them. there has never been any signs of over heating, or smoking, and any type of burning smells.
Instrument cluster malfunction. not showing the odometer or drive tree (prnd321) speed gauge is still working. seeing multiple issues with people sodering on the boards of cluster to fix this problem.

My car has been in the shop for 7 weeks. i've spent $6,000 having the engine rebuilt as there was cylinder 7 misfire. however, after all this i'm still getting the same error codes and they now believe its electrical and the whole car needs to be re-wired. when it broke down originally, it was in neutral in a car wash...

Defective instrument cluster - this gauge cluster has been notorious for being defective in a great many of gm vehicles. i had to pay out of pocket to fix the cluster in my 2005 tahoe because gm wouldn't fix the issue. that should never be the case. when these clusters fail they can lead to massive amounts of injuries due to improper readings which drivers depend on to make correct driving decisions. the u.s. government should mandate that any device placed into a vehicle which gives drivers information for which they depend on accuracy to operate that vehicle should be covered for replacement no matter the age of the vehicle as this is in its simplest terms a matter of safety. several phone calls and 1 trip to the dealership indicates this is a "wear and tear" stance the company is taking with this issue. i found out my cluster was defective when i received a speeding ticket when my gauge clearly indicated a proper speed limit on cruise control. the officer stated that i was going 17 mph faster than what was allowed. this was my first ticket so i was let off with a warning ...
