| The service stability warning message displayed, abs warning light, tc tire deflation, and brake failure light. the first failure occured on or about february 13, 2012. i took the vehicle to the chevrolet dealership immediately and the repair was completed by march 27, 2012 after 3 attempts. the computer tester was alleged to show that the ebcm had failed and was replaced. this did not clear the defect and the same warnings continued when ever the car was washed or became wet from rain. the defect was said to be in the wire that powered the ebcm in the proximity of the firewall. the wire was stated to be frayed. when the wire was replaced the problem was corrected. i am concerned that the wire may have been damaged from abrasion near the firewall combined with corrosion from road salt. this could have lead to failure of the abs, airbags, and stability control at a time when it is most needed. | |||

| Last year i notice that the traction active warning would go on and there was a humming noise that would follow. this would happen throughout the first few months. around may of last year it started happening more often, as i was driving the truck would suddenly stop and turn off on its own after traction warning came on. also after having stopped at a traffic light the traction warning would come on when accelerating to go . this has happened now everyday since may of last year. i have researched this online to see if this is happening to any other owners of tahoes and it has. from what i have read cheverolet has not been able to fix this problem. i have been fortunate not to be rear ended by another car but i have had some close calls. i have read that other drivers have turned off their stabilitrak control. i have tried this and it does help to some extent but this is not the solution to the problem. cheverolet knows of the problem and they have not issued a recall for this problem. other drivers have brought their suv in for repairs and had the speed sensors replaced. when they drive their suv after the so call repair, the problem still continues. i believe the issue is the transfer case. due to that every time this problem would start the noise would come from right under the driver seat. even with the stabilitrak control being turned off the humming and rumbling of gear sounds right under the seat. this is a dangerous situation when driving 30 to 40 mph the suv coming to a stop and turning off. several people wrote that this happened at hwy speed. this has been my fear. cheverolet should officially recall tahoes with this issue. in canada a recall was put out due to a similar situation. why is it that this hasn't been done here and owners in the us have to pay for repairs that have not solved the problem. | |||
