MY 2009 HYBRID TAHOE ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY ON OCCASION. THE ISSUE ARRISES COMMONLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM STARTS/STOPS THE GASOLINE ENGINE REGULARLY. I NOTICE IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN SWITCHING GAS/ELECTRIC MODES THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. THE FEELING IS THE SAME AS LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I CAN AND IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM POINTS TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP(S) AND/OR CONTROL MODULES. WHEN THE SYSTEM OPERATES ON THE GAS ENGINE, THE HYBRID TAHOE'S TRANSMISSION RELIES ON AN ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC FLUID PUMP. WHEN THE SYSTEM SWITCHES TO ELECTRIC MODE, AN AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP TURNS ON, DRIVEN BY AN INDEPENDENT ELECTRIC MOTOR. THE LURCH I DESCRIBED RESULTS FROM WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FAILING PUMP OR CONTROL MODULE, OR A COMBINATION OF THE BOTH WHICH ENGAGES GEARS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. THIS LURCH IS RATHER DANGEROUS AS I HAVE HAD TO JUMP ON THE BRAKES MANY TIMES TO AVOID REAR ENDING OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN, DRIVE OR HAVE DRIVEN THESE GMT900 SERIES HYBRIDS (2008-2013 CHEVY TAHOE/SILVERADO HYBRIDS, GMC YUKON HYBRIDS, CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRIDS) ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE DESCRIBED THE DREADED LURCH. SOME SAY REPLACING THE ELECTRIC AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP SOLVES THE PROBLEM, OTHERS STILL HAVE LURCHING ISSUES. ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO DRIVES A CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRID CLAIMED TO HAVE ACTUALLY REAR ENDED SOMEONE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE LURCH. AS FOR MY PERSONAL CAR, THE LURCH OCCURS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, HOWEVER I FEEL ONE MAY BE IMMINENT.

WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS, MY VEHICLE STALLS ABOUT FIVE SECONDS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TAKES OFF. WHEN I TRY TO STOP, IT DOES NOT STOP RIGHT AWAY AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAK. I'VE ALMOST REAR ANOTHER VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAVE TO STAY AT LEAST 15 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF PERIODICALLY. IF I TURN MY WHEEL TO SHARPLY (REVERSE OR FORWARD), IT JERKS, MAKES A LOUD NOISE, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. I FEEL REALLY UNSAFE DRIVING, HOWEVER, I HAVE NO CHOICE BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK.

WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING IN A PARKED POSITION THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES CRAZY. RADIO, DASH CONTROLS, BELLS, LIGHTS, UNLOCK/LOCK ALL START GOING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY DIE OUT AND STALL WHILE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS GOING CRAZY. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THEN LOCKED EITHER MY ABS OR 4WD ON THE BACK WHEELS CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE SLOWLY THEN WHEN I FINALLY COULD PULL OVER MY CAR WAS SMOKING FROM UNDER THE ENTIRE CAR LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. I WAS DRIVING UP A MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED FAILING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST TO THE SIDE. I THEN TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER TURNING EVERYTHING ON AND OFF, MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN. WHATEVER ELECTRICAL PART OR PARTS THAT RUN THE ENTIRE CAR CLEARLY HAVE A MAJOR FAULT IN THEM. THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY DOCUMENTED ON VIDEOS AND BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. SEARCH HOW TO FIX CHEVY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL SEE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR SO MANY YEARS WITHOUT GM HAVING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT SOME POINT. IF YOU ARE NOT A MECHANIC AND TAKE YOUR CAR IN THEY ARE CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TRY TO SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE THE GROUND WIRES RUNNING FROM THE BATTERY ON MOST VEHICLES OR THE FUSE. THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX IF YOU ARE A MECHANIC BUT TAKING IT IN TO THE SHOP THEY CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES. THIS IS ALSO THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY DOOR LOCKS WERE BEING REPLACED AND WHEN THEY GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK.
