LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING ON MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE. I FOUND OUT BECAUSE CHILD OPENED DOOR AND ALMOST WENT OUT THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED WHEN MILEAGE WAS AT ABOUT 40,000 AND CHEVY DEALER WOULD ONLY FIX AFTER I PAID OVER $500. *TR

I WALKED INTO MY GARAGE AT NIGHT TO SEE IT FILLED WITH SMOKE, PLASTIC SMELLING AND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE 2002 TAHOE I SAW A RED GLOWING BALL AND A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM ABS BOX BY THE FUEL FILTER. I BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND FAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER AND THERE WAS A BURNED BLACK SMUGE BOX . IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS TAHOE? *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HYBRID. ABOUT 3 MTHS AGO THE DOORS QUIT LOCKING FROM TIME TO TIME. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ON MY TRUCK IT ROTATES FROM DOOR TO DOOR WHICH ONES THAT WILL NOT LOCK. I CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP AND FOR THEM TO FIX ONE DOOR THEY QUOTED $350. DURING MY READING ONLINE SOMEONE STATED THAT GM ACTUALLY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRING HARNESS NOT THE ACTUAL DOORS. GETTING THE ACTUATORS ON THE DOORS FIXED IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING, WITH A DOOR OPENING AND WHILE PARKED OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF ALL THE CAR JACKINGS GOING ON IN SOCIETY. I DO SEE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH PROBLEM AND A MAJOR RECALL NEEDS TO BE ORDERED AND GM FORCED TO FIX THEIR KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT GIVING ACCURATE READINGS. IT WILL JUMP FROM 0 TO 120 MPH AND STICK SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN OR GIVE A FALSE MPH READING OR JUST GO TO ZERO AND REGISTER NOTHING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS PREVALENT WITH ALL TAHOES. GM NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION INSTEAD OF CHARGING EVERYBODY $500-$900 WHEN THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING NOW FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. *TR

ABS ENGAGES ON MY CHEVROLET TAHOE AS I COME TO A STOP, PREVENTING ME TO STOP IN A REASONABLY EXPECTED DISTANCE. I HAVE A 1999 TAHOE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900, GM RECALL NUMBER 05068. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 1 OR 2 MPH THE ABS ENGAGES AND INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND REGISTERED AND USED IN NEW YORK FROM NEW TILL PRESENT. NEW YORK IS ONE OF THE SALT BELT STATES THAT IS COVERED IN THE RECALL LISTED ABOVE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR TAHOE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 1998 . THE REP AT GM COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL..THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY A GM MECHANIC. HE SAID THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED, CLEANED, ANTI-RUST MATERIAL APPLIED, AND REPLACED. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. *TR
