problem #2

Sep 032008

Tahoe

  • 100 miles
We have had trouble with our front wipers turning on and squirting wiper fluid in the off (yes the off) position while we are driving. The car must be turned off and restarted to stop the wipers and squirting fluid. This has happened about 15 times since we bought our new SUV. It never does it when we bring it into the dealership so they can't find a problem. The last time it happened, there was very dense white smoke before the wipers started moving and shooting fluid (once again...it was totally in the off position!!!). now the intermittent wiper mode does not work at all. These occurrences are very, very distracting when trying to drive! we just received a recall notice for our 2007 Tahoe but I have concerns about possible fire risk because I know we definitely have an issue related to the recall. Can we get the recall fixed before November 1, 2008 and still have it covered under the recall? the last episode was this month.

Tahoe 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Our first incident occurred 2 weeks after we purchased our 2007 Tahoe ltz on March 17,2006 the heated seats didn't work unless we restarted the vehicle this happened twice and never again so we thought it was a fluke. Second malfunction/incident was. I started the vehicle and the windshield wipers came on by themselves and I could not shut them off until I restarted the vehicle. The third incident was the same as the second...this time I was driving on the fwy and the wipers and wiper fluid came on again, I could not shut them off until I exited the fwy and restarted the vehicle. We took it to the dealer Aug 23, 2006 and explained all the malfunctions that had occurred thus far they could not find nor duplicate the heated seat problem but they did find that the windshield wiper module needed to be replaced, so they ordered it. Forward to today Sept 8, 2006 I was again driving on the fwy when my xm radio went out completely I thought it was just a problem with the satellite so as soon as I exited the fwy I restarted the vehicle but this time all of the instrument panel, radio and onstar services were completely dead! no service at all! I called the dealer and they want me to take it in so that they can check it out yet again, and install the wiper module we were waiting on. This is just ridiculous, being that we did not pay chump change for this Tahoe for that kind of money it should be a very reliable vehicle! I am not going to be having to take a $50,000 vehicle to the shop every other month for malfunctions...what a complete inconvenience this is!! and from what I see this is definitely not the first incident of this kind. I see people are having similar computer malfunctions as well!
