SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY 1995 CHEVY TAHOE ARE ACTIVATING SPURIOUSLY AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BRAKING. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AS I APPROACH A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR WHEN PARKING IN A LOT. THIS ACTIVATION CAUSES AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME, BUT I COULD SEE HOW IT COULD. FROM SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RUSTING OF THE SPEED SENSORS. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM FOR WHICH A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED TO FIX. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO COME TO STOP THE ABS SYSTEM WILL INTERMITTENTLY KICK IN AT LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO POSSIBLY COLLIDE WITH OTHER VEHICLES. *JB

Oct 11, 2006

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CORRESPONDED WITH YOUR AGENCY (ODI# 10098003) ON 10/29/04. ALTHOUGH GENERAL MOTORS HAS RECENTLY ISSUED AN ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM RECALL, IT INCLUDES ONLY CERTAIN MODELS AFTER 1999. BE ADVISED EARLIER YEAR MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND REPAIR TO THOSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE INCURRED $200.00 IN REPAIRS CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM WITH CORROSION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. MY MECHANIC HAS DISABLED THE SYSTEM BY REMOVAL OF THE FUSE TO PREVENT THE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I THEREFORE HAVE A SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR SAFETY WHICH IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY USELESS. AND IN NEED OF REPAIR. LETS GET GM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IN TOTAL. *NM

May 04, 1999

I FOUND OUT AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BECAUSE THE WIPERS WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I HAD PURCHASED A MOTOR AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF TO SAVE $100 OVER THE COST OF A MOTOR FROM THE DEALER, NOT TO MENTION LABOR. THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REIMBURSE ME $42, WHICH IT SAID WAS THE COST OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD. AT THE TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR, THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. I ONLY THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED FOR MY ACTUAL EXPENSES WHICH TOTALED ABOUT $70 FOR A REBUILT MOTOR. (THE DEALER WANTED $170 FOR A MOTOR). *AK

DURING THE PAST 16 MONTHS BOTH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ( THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT DOORS) HAVE SNAPPED OFF RENDERING THAT DOOR INOPERABLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

LIFTING UP ON ACCLERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT SLOW VEHICLE. HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART, THIS ALLOWED THE VECHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THIS FIRST OCCURED ON A SHARP CURVE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. A CALL TO MY DEALER SHOWED THERE WERE NO RECALLS THAT WERE OUTSTANDING FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS. I'M SURE NOTHING WILL EVER BE DONE AS IT IS PROBABLY NOT COST EFFECTIVE FOR CHEVY TO FIX IT. *AK

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE DOOR (IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL). THEN, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVER DOOR AND RECENTLY THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. WE NOTICED THAT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE DOORS WENT OUT, SO DID THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS (REPLACING THE BULBS AND HOUSING UNITS DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE). THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS ARE INTERMITTENT AND SEEM TO WORK ON OCCASION (IF WE HIT A BUMP OR SOMETHING). THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE TO JUNK OUR TRUCK DUE TO IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TAHOE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES? ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THESE ISSUES? THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR RELATED ISSUES TO ME... *TR

HORN WOULD SOUND WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS VIBRATED (EXAMPLE: DOOR IS SHUT, HOOD POPPED OPEN, ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING COLUMN). HAD THIS PROBLEM 2 TIME PREVIOUSLY, A GM AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP LOOK AT SITUATION AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITHOUT GOING INTO A DETAIL DIAGNOSTIC. PULLING THE FUSE FOR THE HORN WOULD NOT STOP THE HORN FOR SOUNDING. FINALLY HAD TO PULL THE HORN RELAY LOCATED IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD TO STOP HORN FROM SOUNDING. FINALLY HAD A DETAILED DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND THE ONLY THING THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. SUPPOSEDLY THE AIRBAG EXPANDS WHEN IT THE AREA AROUND IT HEATS UP, WHICH IN TURN APPLIES PRESSURE ON THE HORN RING, ERGO THE HORN GOES OFF EVEN WHEN THE FUSE WAS REMOVED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DURING THEIR 2 HOURS OF DIAGNOTICS. RECOMMENDED SOULTION REPLACE AIRBAG / HORN RING $638.00 (PARTS ONLY). SUPPOSEDLY NEW AIRBAG HAS A NEW DESIGN TO PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN.

RE: INCIDENT AE00013 - THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITANTLY, TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM WITH IT. ABOUT A MONT LATER THE TAHOE STARTED INTERMITANTLY LOSING POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER THAT THEN DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID ON TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR. HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND BATTERY. THEY CHARGED OVER $700 TO DO SO, INCLUDING $89 LABOR JUST TO INSTALL A NEW BATTERY! ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AFTER THAT SIMILAR LOSS OF POWER WAS OCCURRING. TOOK TAHOE TO A DIFFERENT CHEV DEALER WHO THE FOUND ALTERNATOR WAS NOW BAD, WHICH I SUSPECT MAY BE RELATED TO THE ONGOING BAD BATTERY PROBLEMS.*AK

THEY ALSO MADE ME PAY FOR THE ABS MODULATOR REPAIR ON 02/22/99 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT TAHOES WERE HAVING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURES.
