Oil pressure loss and hybrid mode
Check that adding oil doesn't fix the problem. I have a cracked oil pick-up tube o-ring that has caused this same issue. Because it's a 4x4 and because they didn't design the pick-up tube flange to be bolted from the front, it's very difficult. Good luck.- jprevost

Brake Pedal Squeak
Same problem. Haven't addressed it yet. Will try the cycling of the pedal position but I believe it's in the bushing of the pedal pivot and not the adjusting track mechanism.- jprevost

Difference between 09 and 11 Hybrid fuel economy
I'd also like to know the differences in MPG being so different. I should know if the feds changed the testing between years but I don't. Being lazy I'm hoping somebody else would report why there is such a big difference between years. 3mpg is too much. The engine codes changed from LFA to LZ1...- jprevost

Yukin Hybrid Transmission/Planetary
Yes. The transmission is a piece of crap. I had to replace mine with a new transmission. Turns out that the big magnets in the motors collected all of the metal from the shims inside the planetary gear sets. Seriously, it was a complete scam. The transmission has issues and GM knows it, hence no...- jprevost

09 Tahoe Hybrid w/ LTZ Silverado Rims
Old thread but stumbled upon it and wanted to put some $.02 in. The wheels look better than I thought they would. As for the front bumper, be careful towing or operating in warm weather with the other bumpers. The hybrid has some pretty large cooling requirements. The grill opening is larger to...- jprevost

Dreaded check engine light w/ oil pressure issue
Wow. I also had the same issue on a long road trip last summer! Turns out I was low on oil by 4.5 quarts or something. Strange because it doesn't burn oil and there were no leaks found. Me and 3 friends all looked at the oil dip stick when we noticed the engine noise. None of us saw the level...- jprevost

How do you fix your car with no parts available?
You're kidding right? You paid $1000 to fix your brakes... that didn't work so you took it back to the same place and they want to charge you $2000 for another PART (singular)... this is somehow GM's fault? Get your money back from the original mechanic and find a better shop before you come...- jprevost
