| Description of the problem | My 2008 chevy tahoe ltz electrical system would go through a series of phases either when i try to start it up during a cold day or when i am on the highway. This leads to my vehicle either not starting or while driving not being able to maintain speed because the transmission begin to slip. It can also die without warning and the "check engine light" would come on for a while and can disappear after starting up again. I have taken my vehicle to the same service adviser/manager each time i experience this problem and also called gmac to get them involved to be told that they can not duplicate this problem. When ever the codes are pulled, there could be at least 7 at a time. I called gmac went i experienced this for the fourth time and my case number was 71-1326091502 issued on 07/02/2014. Today my case number is [xxx] which was issued on 11/30/2016. I had many other number in between and custom service personnel (gmac) attempt to assist me and the results in the past has been the same each time. However, my vehicle continue to be unsafe. I feel that no one really care but are going through the phases to say that they have done all they can do. My vehicle started to give me this problem at about 107,000 miles, right after my 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty expired which cost about $2400. 00. My vehicle also have a total of about nine plus (problem more) months in the shop at the chevrolet dealership over time where i purchased this vehicle with no results at the end of each trip but it was taken back for the same thing each time. I feel as if every one is just coving themselves by mouth work whether than by actions. All i know is that this vehicle seem to be a "lemon" and no one has the courage to say so. My vehicle is at al serra chevrolet north, colorado springs, co. 80920. There # is [xxx]. My # is [xxx]. Thanks for your time.
