A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE COMPLETE FAILURE WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES HAD STARTED TO FEEL "MUSHY". ON 9/29/12 MY HUSBAND HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND THAT IS WHEN THE BRAKE LINE BLEW OUT IN THE FRONT AND THE REAR. THE BRAKE LINE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED FROM FRONT TO REAR.

I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE I BUSTED A BRAKE LINE THANKFULLY I DID IT WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE AFTER I CAME BACK FROM LEAVE. NOW MY BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES ALL THE WAY TO THEY FLOOR AND TAKES LONGER TO STOP. (REAL DANGEROUS) I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT B/C ITS A THIRD VEHICLE UNTIL I LOOKED ONLINE AND READ SO MUCH ABOUT RUSTED BRAKE LINES. WHEN I LOOKED AT MINE THEY WERE ALL RUSTED. SCARED TO SEE WHAT THE DAMAGE WILL BE TO FIX ALL THE LINES. FUNNY THING IS THE UNDERBELLY OF MY 2000 TAHOE LOOKS WORSE THAN THAT OF MY 82 C10. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES

ABS/Traction Control wheel speed sensors corroded, causing the ABS to activate at low speeds and making it impossible to stop the car. This is the same issue as has been reported for other VIN numbers of the same vehicle; see Safety Recall 05068 Front Wheel Speed Sensor Corrosion, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2005/RCRIT-05V379-8709.pdf. However, that recall was limited to vehicles registered in the "Rust Belt" states; it appears that as this vintage of vehicle has aged, vehicles outside the Rust Belt now are experiencing the same problem, suggesting that the recall should be broadened.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HIS DAUGHTER DROVE DOWN HILL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HIT A PERSON THAT WAS DRIVING A BICYCLE. THE VEHICLE WENT UP A HILL AND THE DRIVER PROCEEDED ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT IT WENT UP A HILL, ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO BUSHES, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT AND A REPORT WAS FILED; THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE PERSON ON THE BICYCLE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUFFERED UNKNOWN FRACTURES TO THE BODY. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS FATHER RESIDENCE AND HE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND BRAKE FLUID WAS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED HOWEVER THERE WAS A LONG WAIT TIME AND A REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THE CALL PROMPTLY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE , I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT , AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR . THE TAHOE FINALLY STOPPED AFTER A MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL DISTANCE . AFTER INSPECTING THE MASTER CYLINDER , THERE WAS HARDLY ANY BRAKE FLUID REMAINING . I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE VERY RUSTED , AND THAT THE LINE GOING TO THE REAR BRAKES WAS RUSTED THROUGH . THIS RUSTING OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD NEVER OCCUR !
Feb 03, 2016
IN 2011 MY ABS/BRAKE LIGHT STARTING COMING ON TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR. IN SEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX, I SEE A RECALL WAS GIVEN TO SALT BELT STATES IN 2005. I OWN TRUCK SINCE 2002. TOLD BY GMC TODAY THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT STATES SALT BELT STATES RECALL ONLY AFFECTED CERTAIN VIN #'S IS THIS CORRECT? FIRST OWNER LIVED IN SALT BELT STATE AND TRUCK MANUFACTURED IN SALT BELT. I SEE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL GMC PRODUCTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. WHY DON'T THEY REPAIR?

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I-74 NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS AT THE POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON OUR CHEVY TAHOE DEFLATED. THE TIRE WAS A KELLY SAFARI - 265/75/16. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY THE TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT, SUCH AS A ROAD HAZARD OR A NAIL IN THE TIRE. GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN I CALLED THEM. MY TIRE DEALER, TIRE DISCOUNTERS, GAVE ME $60 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF FOUR NEW TIRES SINCE I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE REMAINING THREE TIRES. THE KELLY SUFARI TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 30 THOUSAND MILES (OVER ONE HALF THE ORIGINAL TREADWEAR WAS REMAINING AT THE TIME OF THE DEFLATION). THE TIRE WAS A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND THE OTHER THREE WERE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. MY SON WAS ABLE TO CONTROL OUR TAHOE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF I-74 WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GOODYEAR TIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF CONCERN EXHIBITED BY GOODYEAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HOPE THIS DEFLATION PROBLEM GETS RECORDED AND THE NHTSA FOLLOWS UP WITH GOODYEAR. I SEE I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE A BLOW-OUT DEFLATION PROBLEM WITH A KELLY SAFARI TIRE. *TR

WE HAD PURCHASED UNIROYAL TIRES IN OCTOBER 2002 FROM FARM AND FLEET IN LA CROSSE. AS OF AUGUST 4, 2005, ALL THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE TIRES CRACKING AND PEELING. WE TOOK THE CAR TO SEARS WHERE THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT LET US DRIVE THE CAR DUE THE SEVERITY OF THE PEELING OF THE TIRES. DRIVING OUR CAR WITH THE TIRES IN THE POOR CONDITION COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND INJURY. I STARTED HAVING A PANIC ATTACK AFTER HEARING THIS NEWS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR TIRES TO SHRED, CRACK, AND PEEL AT ONLY 40,000 MILES. I CALLED FARM AND FLEET WHERE WE BOUGHT THE TIRES AND HE TOLD ME "TOO BAD" AND HUNG UP ON ME. I CALLED UNIROYAL AND SHE SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM IF OUR TIRES CRACKED, THAT'S WHAT TIRES DO. THESE TIRES THAT CRACKED, PEELED, AND SHREDDED HAVE A 75,000 MILES WARRANTY, NOONE WILL HONOR THIS WARRANTY AND WE HAD TO SPEND OVER $400 BUYING NEW TIRES. *NM
Aug 08, 2005
TIRES ROUTINELY REQUIRE AIR TO BE ADDED. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND CONTINUE TO REQUIRE AIR BE ADDED EVERY FEW WEEKS. HAVE ASKED THE DEALER REGARDING THIS AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES RELATED TO RIM LEAKS OR REASONS FOR THIS. HAVE NOTICED THIS ISSUE ON OTHER TAHOES. *NM

I GOT ON HWY 26 AT THE WHITE ROCK BALLENTINE EXIT. I WAS TRAVELING ON 26 WHEN I SAW A MAURICE BARBEQUE TRUCK COME ONTO THE HIGHWAY SO I MOVED OVER ONE LANE. AS THE TRUCK WAS COMING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AT AN EXTREMELY FAST SPEED, AT THE LAKE MURRAY ENTRANCE I SAW SOMETHING FLY OUT OF HIS TRUCK. IT HAD TO HAVE FLOWN OUT HIS WINDOW AND IT HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND MADE A CRACK IN IT. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO HONK MY HORN TO GET HIM TO PULL OVER. HE GAVE ME THE FINGER. SO I SLOWED DOWN WENT BEHIND HIM TOOK HIS PLATE NUMBER DOWN AND CALLED MAURICE'S BBQ NUMBER RIGHT AWAY. I UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKING MY KIDS TO AN EMERGENCY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. I FELT I TOOK ALL THE RIGHT STEPS TO MAKE SURE I REPORTED THIS PROPERLY. I CONTINUED TO CALL MAURICES 3 TIMES A DAY AND LEFT MESSAGES AND NO ONE RESPONDED FINALLY 3 DAYS LATER A WOMAN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME SHE SENT IT TO THE INSURANCE BUT THEY WEREN'T GONNA PAY FOR IT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CALLED ME AND SAID THE DRIVER SAID HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG AND BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW HIM WE WONT PAY FOR IT. THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO ME AS I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO STATE MY CASE... I AM APPALLED AND DISGUSTED BY HOW MAURICES BBQ HANDLED THE SITUATION ... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. *TR

2000 TAHOE: REAR HATCH WINDOW HINGE BROKE. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC...PRETTY SHODDY FOR A 4W DRIVE VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY OPENED THAT WINDOW 5-6 TIMES SINCE 2002, SO IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT ABUSED.

WHILE LOWERING DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW A SNAP OCCURED AND THE WINDOW FELL TO THE BOTTOM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL REPAIR CENTER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A DEALER ONLY ITEM.

I VEIWED THE BROKEN ITEM AND THE STEEL CABLE SEEMED TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, ALLOWING WATER TO SETTLE AT CABLE ENTRANCE. WHY REPLACE THE ENTIRE REGULATOR $235.91?*AK

REAR WINDOWS INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT WORK AND THEN BOTH FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. N EEDED TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS AND REGULATORS.COST OF REPAIR EXCEEDED $425.00. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS AND A KNOWN DEFECT LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK

WHILE THE VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING TODDLER POKED HEAD OUT OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, AND PUT HAND ON THE DOOR ARM REST, WHERE THE POWER WINDOW CONTROLLER SWITCH WAS LOCATED. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP, TODDLER PANICED AND PUSHED DOWN HARDER ON THE CONTROLLER SWITCH, AND WINDOW CONTINUED GOING UP AND CHOCKED THE TODDLER. CONSUMER FELT THAT A CHILD PROOF DEVICE SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO PREVENT SUCH INCIDENT FROM OCCURRING. *AK *NM

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO ISLAND CHEVROLET FOR THE ANTILOCK RECALL AND I MENTIONED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS ON THE CHEVROLET TAHOE 2000 BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I WAS TOLD MY 2000 TAHOE IS NOT ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS THE MODEL MADE LATER IN THE YEAR. BUT WHEN THEY PUT THE TRUCK ON THE DIAGNOSTIC THEY FOUND IT HAD RIGHT & LEFT SIDE DEPLOYMENT LOOP RESISTANCE LOW. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $800.00 AND SINCE I HAD TO FIX MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ALSO I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE LATER MODELS OF 2000 ALSO. I KNOW OF A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE THE LATER 2000 MODEL. *NM

I PURCHASED MY 2000 CHEVY MALIBU WITH 8,000 MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL RECENTLY. EVEN THOUGH I FAITHFULLY CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES I AM NOW EXPERIENCING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH 65,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHICH I AM STILL PAYING OFF. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT GMC HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE THAT IS IN MY VEHICLE. IT NOW HAS AN INTAKE VALUE FAILURE AND PISTON PROBLEMS. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER VECHILES AND AS LONG AS I MAINTAINED THEM THEY RAN GREAT UNTIL 100,000 PLUS MILES. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE? NOT IMPRESSED. I THOUGHT GOING GMC WOULD GIVE ME A RELIABLE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE TO PUT IN OVER $1,000 OR REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $3,000 TO $4,000. WHEN I GO TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHILE I WILL KEEP THIS IN MIND!!!!!

MY 2000 TAHOE CAUGHT A FIRE - IT STARTED CRANKING BY ITSELF W/O THE KEYS IN IT AND THEN FLAMES STARTED SHOOTING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE SUV AND BURNT THAT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND BUSTED THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH 2 FIRE EXT. AND A WATER HOSE. I HAD TO JERK THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO QUIT CRANKING. AND IF YOU CONNECT THEM BACK IT WILL START CRANKING AGAIN W/O THE KEYS. I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT COULD START BY ITSELF W/O KEYS OR ANYONE IN THE SUV. I ASKED GM TO ASSIST ME AND THEY STATED THAT THE STATUTE OF REPOSE IN KY IS EIGHT YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME. I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT BUT NOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN A VEHICLE STARTS ON ITS OWN AND BURNS - PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS *TR

A CO-WORKER AND I WENT TO A CHRISTIAN BOOK STORE DURING LUNCH ON THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 2009, WE LEFT OUR OFFICE AT 12:30 PM. WE ARRIVED AT THE STORE APPROXIMATELY 12:50 PM. WE WENT INTO THE STORE, WE WEREN'T IN THE STORE 10 MINUTES AND MY ALARM WAS GOING OFF ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. I TRIED TO UNLOCK & RELOCK THE TRUCK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW OF THE STORE AND SAW A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD (NEAR THE WINDSHIELD). I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS OVERHEATING (WE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH OVERHEATING IN THE PAST), FIRE NEVER ENTERED MY MIND FOR A SECOND. I RAN OUTSIDE AND OPENED THE DOOR. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THERE WAS A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND FIRE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASH. THEN THE FIRE WENT CRAZY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT TOOK ALL THE WATER THEY HAD TO PUT IT OUT (500 GALLONS). THEY ARE PRETTY SURE IT WAS ELECTRICAL. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THIS TAHOE. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING MECHANICALLY DONE TO IT. IT LITERALLY CAUGHT FIRE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STILL DRIVING MY FRIEND AND I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY TRAUMATIC EVENT IN MY LIFE, DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INSURANCE IS GOING TO DO IF ANYTHING AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE PAYMENT. PLUS THE TAHOE WAS ONLY 4 PAYMENTS FROM BEING PAID OFF. CALLED CHEVROLET ON FRIDAY, MARCH 20TH , TALKED TO OSCAR ROBINS AND HE WAS SUPPOSE TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND, INSTEAD HE HAD HIS REPRESENTATIVE CALL HIM AND ASK HIM USELESS QUESTIONS (LIKE MY HEIGHT??). MY HUSBAND SAID THAT REPRESENTATIVE WAS GOING TO CALL ME WITH SOME MORE QUESTIONS. THEY NEVER DID. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 MALIBU AND IT HAS 129K MILES ON IT. THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE REASON FOR THIS WAS, BUT IT NEVER SEEMED TO AFFECT MY CAR IN ANY WAY. TODAY THE CAR TURNED ON FINE TWICE, ONCE COMING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THE SECOND TIME COMING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT ON AFTER LEAVING FROM A JOB INTERVIEW, IT CRANKS AS IF IT WANTS TO TURN ON BUT DOESN'T. IT SOUNDS LIKE IF THE GAS TANK IS ON EMPTY BUT IT'S ALMOST FULL. I CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND EVEN TRIED A JUMP START AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. FINALLY I GOT IT TOWED HOME AND FIND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT CHEVY MALIBUS ARE FULL OF DEFECTS.(HTTP://WWW.AUTOSITE.COM/CONTENT/RESEARCH/FORUMS/INDEX.CFM/ACTION/POSTS/FID/1601) (INCLUDING MY AC THAT ONLY WORKS ON 3, 4, AND 5). MY ANTI THEFT DEVICE WON'T LET ME DRIVE MY OWN CAR, AND I ALREADY MISSED AN IMPORTANT CLASS. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT TURNS OFF, BUT IT NEVER TURNS OFF. IT HAS BARELY STARTED WITH THIS PROBLEM TODAY, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, MORE LIKE HORROR STORIES, I'M SCARED OF MY MALIBU AND I DON'T TRUST IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL GET WORSE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THE DEALER TO FIX AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS BUT WON'T ADMIT TO; THERE NEEDS TO BE A SERIOUS RECALL. *TR
Sep 21, 2007

DEAR SIRS, I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE, THAT I BOUGHT NEW. OCACIONALLY THE ENGINE ( 5.3 L), WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. USUALLY WHEN BRAKING BUT JUST BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP.IT ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS AT OPERATING TEMP.I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE, AT IDLE, WOULD DIP DOWN TO 200- 300 RPM'S, WITH THE A/C OR DEFROSTER ON, AND THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND SHAKE THE VEHICLE. IF I TAP THE GAS PEDDLE A LITTLE, IT PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS.I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HARBOR CHEVERLET, MICHIGAN CITY ON 2-25-02 FOR SERVICE AFTER IT HAD STALLED ON ME 8-10 TIMES SINCE NEW,AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM PER TSB #00-07-30-006, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH 33092 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 4-12-02 ,SAME COMPLAINT. THEY SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME. IT IS NOW 12-18-02 AND IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS STALLED AROUND 15-20 DURING IDLE CONDITIONS.THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OTHER THAN AT IDLE. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON SATUDAY WITH 49000 MILES ON, AND OUT OF WARRANTY TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FIXING IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND PROBLEM, AND COULD YOU E-MAIL THAT TO ME? THANK YOU.

I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE CHEVROLET LTD. SINCE 3/04 IT HAS FAILED TO START ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES. IT USUALLY OCCURS IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M LEAVING FOR WORK. ONCE WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MY 14 MONTH OLD'S BROKEN ARM. IT TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE SHOP CHECKS IT SEVERAL HOURS LATER, IT STARTS. THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL ITEMS. NONE OF WHICH HAVE WORKED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY WERE JUST REPLACING THINGS THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. *AK

I TOOK MY CHEVY 2000 TAHOE LTD, FOR ITS FIRST CALIF. SMOG TEST AND WAS TOLD "EVERYTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT THE GAS TANK CAP." "THE CAP FAILED THE PRESSURE TEST AND ESCAPING FUMES COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION." I HAD THE CAP REPLACED AND WAS FURTHER TOLD, "THIS TEST FAILURE IS HAPPENING TO ALL 2000 MODEL YEAR TAHOES, SURBURBANS & SLIVERADOS" THIS TECHNICIANS HAS TESTED. IS THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD AND CORRECTING IT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHEVROLET/GM??? *JB

SEATS

MID YEAR IN 2006 THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IN MY TAHOE STARTED TO SLIDE ON ITS TRACK ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES, BACK AND FORTH. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 4 INCHES. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE SEAT SLIDES BACK WITH A BANG, AND IF YOU COME TO A QUICK STOP, THE SEATS SLING YOU FORWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE. I EXPLAINED TO THE I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THEY ASSEMBLED THE SEATS. IF IT HAPPENED IN JUST ONE SEAT I WOULD AGREE, IT IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT THIS HAS GRADUALLY HAPPENED TO BOTH SEATS. AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THIS IS A DEFECT, AND THEREFORE CHEVROLET IS DENYING THIS IS A DEFECT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE ENCLOSED A LETTER WITH FAX DESCRIBING EVENTS. THANK YOU. NO COMPONENT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK THE CONSUMER WROTE A LETTER ON BEHALF OF HER SISTER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN A REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THAT STATE AND FOUND IT TO BE RARE AND VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT AGE/MILEAGE. HE ADVISED THE OWNER TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. UPON CONTACTING GM, THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS NO RECALL. GM INSTRUCTED THE OWNER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE GM LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND MECHANIC AGREED THIS WAS UNUSUAL AND THAT GM SHOULD COVER AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF THE REPAIR. BY THIS TIME, THE OWNER HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIR COMPLETED. *PH

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE. IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT OUT OF 4WD. I HAVE RESEARCHED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE COLD WEATHER AND THE PROPER OPERATION OF THAT FUNCTION. IN A COLD WEATHER STATE SUCH AS MICHIGAN, THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM ALL WINTER LONG. AS A RECURRING CONDITION IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IS AT LEAST $100 AT MOST DEALERSHIPS. *CB

ALTHOUGH THE DASH SAYS "APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK", MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO START ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN A HILL. WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS THAT HE HAD TURNED THE KEY HALFWAY BETWEEN THE OFF POSITION AND THE ACCESSORY POSITION AND IN THIS INTERMEDIATE POSITION THE VEHICLE FREELY SHIFTS OUT OF PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE INDICATED IT IS THE BRAKE SHIFT LOCKOUT SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THAT SAFETY FEATURE. CLEARLY IF MY 3 YEAR OLD SON CAN GET AROUND THAT SAFETY FEATURE, IT IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE AT ALL. *AK

THE METAL HINGES THE ATTACH THE GLASS TO THE VEHICLE ARE ATTACHED WITH A PLASTIC OR GLUE OF SOME TYPE THAT DEGENERATES. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE DIVING THE GLASS COULD DETACH AND POSE A SAFETY ISSUE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IN 2005 GM REDESIGNED THE GLASS WITH BOLTS ATTACHING IT. MANY OWNERS ON GM FORUM HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY FIX IT. I CONTACTED GM SUPPORT AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO A GM DEALER AND HAVE FIXED AT MY COST. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO POOR DESIGN.

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE. RECENTLY THE REAR WINDOW GLASS HINGE IN THE LIFTGATE FAILED. THE GLUE THAT CONNECTS THE GLASS TO THE HINGE FAILED AND NOW THE REAR WINDOW IS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY ONLY THE LATCH AND THE OTHER HINGE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE GLASS WERE TO FALL OUT IN THE ROAD IT WOULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS HINGE HAS FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS AND WAS IN NO WAY ABUSED. I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, COX CHEVROLET IN BRADENTON, FL AND THEY INFORMED ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE COST OF A NEW ONE IS OVER $1,000. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

MY 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS UP ON A RAMP AND I WAS CHECKING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY TRUCK. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS ON P POSITION AND THE KEYS WERE OFF THE IGNITION. MY LOWER BODY WAS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND AS I WAS CHECKING INSIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK ON ITS OWN OFF THE RAMP. THE DRIVER DOOR PULLED DOWN THE POLE FROM THE BACK PORCH AS IT WAS BACKING UP AND SHUT BACK HITTING MY KNEE AND INJURED IT. I HAVE A BRUISED LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK PAIN. MY KNEE IS BADLY SWOLLEN. I WAS ABLE TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL OTHERWISE THE DOOR WOULD HAVE HIT THE SECOND POLE HOLDING THE BACK PORCH AND IT WOULD HAVE COLLAPSED ALTOGETHER. I INCURRED DAMAGE ON MY BACK PORCH; MY VEHICLE. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I FOUND OUT THAT THE ATC FUSE SOMEHOW BLEW WHEN I WAS UNDERNEATH: THE 4WD INDICATOR WAS NOT LIT UP AT ALL, WHILE IT WAS SET IN 2HI THE WHOLE TIME. IT HAD SOMEHOW SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN WHEN THE FUSE BLEW. WHEN I REPLACED THE FUSE THE LIGHT WENT BACK TO THE 2HI POSITION. THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS ON P THE WHOLE TIME EVEN AFTER IT ROLLED. THIS INCIDENT IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND REQUIRES A RECALL BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE EXTENSIVE INJURY OR DEATH IN CASE THIS FUSE FAILS IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED BY GM TO FIX THE ISSUE AND COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE DAMAGES. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC MY BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED TO PUMP THE PEDAL TO GAIN SOME SORT OF PRESSURE AND STOPPING POWER BUT THE PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING. LUCKILY I WAS ALREADY SLOWED DOWN TO A SPEED THAT DID NOT CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS OR THE VEHICLE THAT I HAD HIT IN THE REAR BUMPER. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID COMING FROM THE AREA WERE THE FENDER AND THE DOOR COME TOGETHER AND ALSO TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE DOOR WERE IT MEETS THE REAR DOOR JAM. UNDER INSPECTION IT APPEARS I HAD 2 FAILURES AT THE SAME TIME. THE FRONT BRAKE LINE FAILED AND SO DID THE REAR. THE CORROSION IS HORRIBLE AND HAS ALSO CONSUMED THE FUEL LINES. I BELIEVE THEY ARE THE NEXT TO GO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A COMPANY WILL SPEND THE MONEY TO INSTALL A STAINLESS EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT WILL SURVIVE ALMOST FOREVER BUT THEY WILL NOT INVEST THE MONEY ON THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES TO BE MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM AIRPORT AT 1AM, GETTING OFF HIGHWAY, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR.... BRAKES KICKED IN APPROX. 90-95% OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT TOOK FOREVER TO STOP. ANOTHER CAR WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND I WAS FORCED INTO THE GRASS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAR CAME TO FULL STOP.

THIS HAPPENED AT THE ABS MODULE, WHERE 5 BRAKE LINES CONNECT, AND ALL THE LINES SHOW DANGEROUS CORROSION LEVELS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT ALSO AFFECTED A FUEL LINE RIGHT THERE TOO, (FUEL FILTER IS RIGHT THERE).... I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE NEW, AND THERE IS 1 LINE THAT LOOKS BRAND NEW (NEVER REPLACED), AND ALL OTHER LINES IN THAT AREA ARE DANGEROUSLY CORRODED.

MY 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE SPARE TIRE CABLE(S) BROKE ON SUNDAY, SEPT 12. I WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 40MPH COMING ONTO AN EXIT, LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SUDDENLY SAW A TIRE THAT WAS NOT THERE SECONDS AGO. I PULLED TO THE SIDE, BACKED UP AND REALIZE MY TIRE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BELONGED TO ME. THANK GOD, THE PERSON DRIVING THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO MISS HITTING IT. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. I ASKED IF THERE WERE SIMILAR REPORTS OF SPARE TIRES COMING OFF FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLES? I WAS TOLD BY JOVI NO. 'THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF SPARE TIRES COMING OFF (I FIND THAT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE WHEN I SEE THE MANY STORIES ONLINE). MY VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD, (I'VE OWNED FOR 8) IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION, BODY LOOKS GOOD AND RUNS WELL, AT THAT TIME IT HAD 208K MILES. JOVI ADVISED THAT I TAKE TO DEALERSHIP, HAVE THEM INSPECT AND BASED ON THEIR FINDINGS, CHEVROLET WILL HAVE TO DECIDE IF THEY WILL ASSIST W/ HAVING IT REPAIRED. SHE GAVE ME A "HEADS UP" THAT IT MAY BE DUE TO THE AGE, AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND IF SO, CHEVROLET WILL NEED TO MAKE DECISION. ROYAL CHEVROLET SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMED ME "THE CABLES BROKE". THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME THE REASON WHY. JOVI CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO KNOW THEIR FINDINGS SHE INFORMED ME ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, SHE WAS TOLD THE TIRE COMING OFF "COULD" BE DUE TO AGE, MILEAGE AND WEAR AND TEAR, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL MAINTAINED PER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. JOVI SAID CHEVROLET WILL BE UNABLE TO ASSIST W/ HAVING IT REPAIRED (COST APPRX $238 ' ON MONDAY, I VOLUNTEERED TO PAY UP TO 1.5 HOURS OF LABOR FEES). I WAS NOT HAPPY W/ THEIR DECISION AND REQUESTED SHE RECEIVE A "DEFINITE ANSWER". HER SAYING 'COULD BE' WAS NOT A DEFINITIVE OF THE PROBLEM THEREFORE, IN MY OPINION, I FELT CHEVROLET SHOULD ASSIST IN THE REPAIR COST. JOVI, CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

MY REAR WINDSHIELD COLLAPSED INTO PIECES WHEN I OPENED THE CARGO DOOR. THE SHATTERED GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE AND RESULTED IN MINOR CUTS SCRAPES, AND NOT TO MENTION INCONTROLLABLE TEARS ON MY 6-YR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. THE SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE STATED SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE GONE FOR THE SAME REASON. MY PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM JUST YESTERDAY AND IT NEEDED ALL OF THE CABLING REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WE LOST 3 TIRES AND THE MEN AT THE TIRE SHOP TOLD US THAT OUR TRUCK WAS MISSING THE PINIONS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND THE DANGERS IT CAUSED. I HAD THEM ADDED TO MY TRUCK AND HAVEN'T HAD A TIRE BUST SINCE. NEVER GOT COMPENSATION. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR. ITS RIDICULOUS HOW THESE NEW VEHICLES ARE FALLING APART AND NO ONE IS ON OUR SIDE. *NM

AUGUST 2003 AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE TOLD THAT IFTHIS SENSOR CAME ON, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, WE FOUND THAT 525,254 CHEVY TAHOE LS, YEAR 2000 WERE RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE SENSORS(SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE) AND/OR AIRBAG PROBLEMS. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS RUN ON THE VEHICLE. WE WERE THEN TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALER FOR POSSIBLE WARRANTY WORK. EISINGER MOTORS, 1000 WEST IDAHO, KALISPELL MT 406-755-5555 TOLD US THAT WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE RECALL LIST (ACTUALLY THERE ARE 5 NHTSA RECALLS ON THE CHEVY 2000 TAHOE LS), ARE WE ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR COSTS? NHTSA STATES THAT DEALERS WILL RECALIBRATE THE SDM ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ANDTHAT OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET OR GMC. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM IS NOT IMMEDIATELY ATTENDED TO, THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGERS COULD RECEIVE SEVERE INJURIES.

THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MY 2000 TAHOE HAS BROKE TWICE. THE REGULATOR'S CABLE RUSTED OUT THE FIRST TIME. THIS SECOND TIME I'VE JUST LEFT IT ALONE. I'M JUST GLAD IT STAY STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE UNIT INCLUDING THE MOTOR WITH THE REGULATOR, AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS THE MOTOR NOT THE WINDOW REGULATOR BUT 9 TIME OUT 10 ITS GOING TO BE REGULATOR, WHAT A SCAM. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WENT OUT. THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS HINGES SQUEAK AND GRIND. I'VE ALREADY HAD THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HINGE REPLACED, NOW THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HINGE IS GETTING WORST. *NLM

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK A THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. TWO OF THEM INFORMED ME THAT THESE CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE CAN DO. WALLACE LUNDGREN AT LEAST KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND APPARENTLY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING INTERMITTANTLY AND ME BEING AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN KNOW HOW HARD INTERMITANT PROBLEMS ARE BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT INTERMITANTLY HAS NO BRAKES SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT LUNDGREN CHEVROLET GAVE ME A 2000 SUBURBAN AS ALONER AND GUESS WHAT NO BRAKES INTERMITTANTLY. ALSO MY SERVICE MANAGER FRED SCHARNBERG HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS NEW 2000 SUBURBAN. I BELIEVE G.M IS ABOUT TO HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM WHEN THESE VEHICLES START KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CAN'T STOP. *AK
