NHTSA Complaint #11076239 — 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE

HAVE OWNED SINCE 2010. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH (YOU CAN FEEL IT IDLE BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME). DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DETECT A ROUGH IDLE ISSUE. LATER, ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MISFIRES IN CYLINDER (HAVE PAPERWORK INSIDE VEHICLE) REPLACED A SENSOR RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY. LAST FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2018 DRIVING ON A CROWDED DOWNTOWN STREET THE TAHOE BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGH AGAIN, TO THE POINT OF THE SEAT BELTS SHAKING AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO LOSE POWER AGAIN (BEEN THERE DONE THAT). ARRIVED AT WORK PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK MESSAGE APPEARED THAT BOTH WERE OFF, THEN THE WARNING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL FLASHED THEN TO SERVICE STABILITRAK. I LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND CALLED THE DEALER SHIP AS WELL AS THE WARRANTY FOLKS TELLING THEM OF THE ISSUE MADE APPT FOR FOLLOWING DAY TO BRING IN. WENT TO DRIVE HOME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE CAR IS ROCKING AND SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT STALL OUT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LIMPED THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST DEALER OUT OF FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THE CAR SHUT DOWN DRIVING HOME. RESEARCHED ONLINE, FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A TSB ISSUED # 11273 THAT NOONE HAS EVER MENTIONED WITH THE MULTIPLE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THE ISSUE LISTED IN THE BULLETIN THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT AS I DRIVE 5 - 6 KIDS TO SCHOOL EVERY MORNING AND CAN NOT IMAGINE WHY THIS WAS NOT SHARED WITH ME AS AN OWNER (REGISTERED WITH GMS WEBSITE WITH THE VIN) SO I AM SURE TO RECEIVE UPDATES FOR ISSUES JUST LIKE THIS, THAT NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIRS ARE IDENTICAL TO WHAT IS STATED IN THE GM ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 11273.
