Tahoe

  • 112,000 miles
Our 2007 Chevy Tahoe was parked/stationary, engine on, car in park with emergency brake on, and parked on a dirt driveway. I got into the driver side and shut the driver side door when the side curtain airbags in the front row, second row, and third row on both the driver and passenger side deployed. The seat belts for the driver and front seat passenger locked up and are unable to unlock and are not usable.

I have an airbag failure on my dashboard, the airbags are not working. On Saturday 11/21/2020 the driver side door kept saying door was open when it was entirely closed. Later on that morning, the passenger seat had cold ac while the rest of the car was throwing hot air on it's own. Because the car kept saying the passenger door was open, inside lights did not turned on. Replaced the door module and issue not fixed. Battery drains at least twice a day. Had to replace the engine oil pressure sensor multiple times and it still goes off randomly while driving and fix itself. This car it's used only to drive less than 10 miles per week. It is so annoying wiht this issue just to get it out and back home. I replaced the battery, alternator, oil pressure sensor, pasanger door sensor, ac filters all this in less than 1 year and it's one thing after another. Very disappointed.

Tahoe

My airbag alert light will not go out via the dashboard. It's my understanding there is NHTSA recall (16V383) due to the propellant in some types of the takata airbag inflators which can degrade over time. This can cause the inflators to rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries.

It is unacceptable that my 2007 Tahoe still has the original defective takata airbags. There is nothing I can do to protect my family in the event of an accident besides purchase another vehicle and sell this one. They should have the remedy available by now! it's almost 2021!

I own a 07 Chevy Tahoe lt. I received notice in 2016 about the takata airbag recall. It is now 2020! I have been to my Chevy dealer over and over to have this taken care of. Response is "sorry, we can't do anything about it because no one knows who is going to pay for it." I am sick of this run around and tired of the excuses! you have no problem charging consumers for vehicles that most times cost the same as a small home! however, when it comes to human lives you are willing to gamble with time no matter what the cost, even if it means loss of life! we did not build the cars! figure it out! so put on your big boy pants and solve the problem you all created! I want the bag replaced sooner than later and I want answers! maybe what we need here is a class action lawsuit that involves both dealers and the takata air bag makers!
