POWER BRAKES FAILED ON THIS HYBRID VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS THE POWER BRAKES CAN FAIL IF THE HYBRID BATTERY PACK LOSES POWER. THE BRAKES CONTINUED NOT TO WORK UNTIL IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT IT. THEY SAID IF THE BRAKES FAIL TWO MORE TIMES WE COULD USE THE LEMON LAW TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HYBRID. ABOUT 3 MTHS AGO THE DOORS QUIT LOCKING FROM TIME TO TIME. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ON MY TRUCK IT ROTATES FROM DOOR TO DOOR WHICH ONES THAT WILL NOT LOCK. I CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP AND FOR THEM TO FIX ONE DOOR THEY QUOTED $350. DURING MY READING ONLINE SOMEONE STATED THAT GM ACTUALLY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRING HARNESS NOT THE ACTUAL DOORS.

REAR DOOR LOCKS (ACTUATORS) STOPPED WORKING. FIRST PASSENGER REAR LOCK FAILED TO OPEN OR CLOSE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER WARRANTY COVERAGE HAD ENDED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD GM ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH 2008-09 GM SUV TYPE OF VEHICLES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ACTUATOR MOTOR FAILS. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS DUE TO A VERY INEXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR IS USED FOR THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM WONDERING WHEN GM WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

VEHICLE WILL JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AT TIMES AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AT TIMES BY ITSELF WITOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR. DEALER CLAIMS IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY BUT CANNOT REPLICATE PROBLEMS. I DISAGGREE WITH DEALER AND THINK VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS.
