I HAVE AN 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ THAT HAS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (LAKESIDE CHEVROLET IN WARSAW) HOOKED IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE (THEAUTOPARK.NET) REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE THEY "THINK" THAT MAY BE WHAT'S CAUSING MY VEHICLE ISSUES. BELOW ARE THE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING: 1. PERIODICALLY, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE UP AND DOWN AND THE POWER ON THE DASH (RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, ETC) GOES BLACK AND THE VEHICL…

THE BATTERY GAUGE WILL DROP OR FLUCTUATE. IT DOES NOT OCCUR IMMEDIATELY, BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. ONCE THE BATTERY GAUGE DROPS MANY THINGS ARE AFFECTED. THE CAR HESITATES TO INCREASE SPEED, BRAKING IS AFFECTED, CRUISE CONTROL IS AFFECTED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN ON UNEXPECTEDLY AT TIMES. WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES AND ONCE IT GOES THE ENGINE PUTS OUT MORE THAN IS NEEDED OR EXPECTED. BRAKING IS SLOW AND PULSATES SLIGHTLY AS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING. THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND APPEAR …

THE VEHICLE IS A 2009 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. AT ABOUT 9000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT AND HAD TO STOP IN THE FIRST 1/2 MILE OR SO, WHEN YOU TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP FORWARD AND THEN LOCKUP AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS 30 DEGREES OR 60 DEGREES OUT. IT HAPPENED EVERYTIME THE STOP HAD TO BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO CODES SO NOTHING COULD BE WRONG, GM WAS CONTACTED AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED BACK AND HAD M…

20759945 FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE HAS A BAD SEAL AND GETS WATER INSIDE IT JUST LIKE THE OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON MANY GM VEHICLES INCLUDING MOST OTHER 2009 CHEVY TAHOE'S.
