ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH 68,863 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTING READING 20 MILES AN HOUR YESTERDAY WHEN PARKED. WHEN DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC AND READS APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MILES AN HOUR FASTER THAN I BELIEVE I AM TRAVELING. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS DEFECT IS A PROBLEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. RECALL THIS VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE, THE KEYLESS ENTRY STOPPED UNLOCKING MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN ABOUT MARCH 2010 AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES. THE LOCK WOULD ALSO NOT UNLOCK FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT DOOR. NOW BOTH DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED AND UNLOCKED MANUALLY, WHICH IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR WHEN I PURCHASED THIS 35,000 DOLLAR VEHICLE!!! NOTICED HOW SOME HAVE EVENTUALLY SPREAD TO ALL DOORS, I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I AM SEEING VIA THE INTERNET!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE AND AM EXPERIENCING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHERS HAVE. THE CHROME-LIKE PLATING IS PEELING AND IS RAZOR SHARP. THE PASSENGER SIDE CUT MY HUSBAND'S FINGER. HE SAID IT WAS VERY PAINFUL AND IT BLED FOR A WHILE - EVEN STARTED AGAIN A DAY LATER. THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, BUT I HAVE NOT CUT MYSELF - YET. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
2006 TAHOE REAR LIFTGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK, NOR WILL WINDOW OPEN. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO OPEN MANUALLY. MY GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN RIDE IN THE REAR SEATS, AND THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO INSIDE HANDLE, EITHER. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS AN IDENTICAL MODEL IN WHICH THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED. GM SHOULD IN OUR ESTIMATION, RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE MOST EFFICIENT FIX WOULD BE TO HAVE KEY ACCESS TO UNLOCK. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING AT AROUND 67000 MILES. THERE IS NO MANUAL OR KEY OPERATED WAY TO UNLOCK THE LIFTGATE. IT FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRAP SOMEONE INSIDE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN WAS TO CRAWL INSIDE THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE, RIP THE PLASTIC TRIM PANELS OFF THAT COVER THE MECHANISM, AND THEN MOVE THE ACTUATOR BY HAND. WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT HE WANTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE LOCK ACTUATOR. I READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE IN JUNE 2010. AS OF NOVEMBER 2010, 3 OUT OF THE 4 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $250 PER DOOR LOCK. FOR A 30,000 DOLLAR VEHICLE, I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT I KNOW THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM EITHER. *TR
