Looking for fellow Tahoe owners for Class Action Lawsuit
96,000miles -Traction control light came on, engine light came on, low power mode, strange noise came from engine, later found it was lifters. replaced lifters and approx 12,350 miles later I brought it back with the same problem but this time the lifters and the cam were bad.
was told there was nothing that could be done.
escalated to GM customer service who promised to help, after 3 months of the car being off the road and a run around from GM and the dealer. GM said they were sorry, there is nothing that can be done and they suggested getting a new engine. I replaced the engine at a different dealer at my cost ($7500) and now 7 months later we are back at the dealer with the same symptoms again!!!!! Would you like to join a class action law suit? i am trying to find people with similar situations. email me at shawn.noonan@gmail.com

Service Stabilitrac & Service Traction Control & Check Engine light
----------------- After 45 days lights came back on now harder shifting when it disengages stabilitrac & Traction control. Dealership is on phone with GM trying find out what to do next.
Okay, the latest fix that everyone is using: Reprogramming and taking out all the FLEX FUEL PORTION OUT OF COMPUTER AFM, EFM, FLEX FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS.
(Reply for details). Tech had car for whole day and worked with GM rep..
They just replaced EFM lasted 4weeks, then 4weeks prior sensors, then 4weeks prior transmission and total cost so far is about $13,400 so far. But, Alex (Camp Chevrolet Service Department) helping us out, even refunded $700 for last EFM module they replaced 8 weeks ago. Then Alex also paid for for all the reprogramming computer and was super helpful, don't know if we could of done it without Alex. Thanks again Alex.

You guys do know that the stupid stabilitrak message that pops up can be caused by about 100 different things, right? That stupid message comes on for just about every issue you have with your vehicle so the post just about this one works for one fix but then another person could get this message and the issue and resolution be something completely different.

stabilitrack warning
I was told it was due to my burb missing on cylinders 2/7 every once in awhile. It appears something is going on with the vehicle computer as I also lose the info center at the bottom of my dash so I cannot status tire pressure, etc. Dealer could find no problem.

I used to get a stabilitrak problem after driving a few miles an it reset when I restarted.
Now I get not messages at all. I hope it is working all right. We'll get some slick conditions and I can test it out.
