NHTSA Complaint #10520024 — 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LOCKS GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT SUPPOSEDLY. I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LT. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 05/23/2013 AT ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I LOST POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE WHERE I COULD MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THE TOW TRUCK JUMPED ME AND IT STARTED JUST FINE SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. THEN I TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD TURN ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. TOW TRUCK CAME AGAIN TO JUMP ME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KNEW EXACTLY THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. THEY REPLACED THE CABLES TO A COST TO ME OF $500!!! HE SAID THAT CHEVY KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL..ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!!! THEY ARE LUCKY MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND THAT NOBODY WAS HURT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE FILED THE BIGGEST LAWSUIT THEY EVER SAW!!!! *TR
