SUSPENSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS ACCELERATED SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENTS IN SIDE WINDS AND WHEN FOLLOWING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. THE SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT IS EXTREME ENOUGH TO CAUSE MILD DISCOMFORT FROM THE SAFETY BELTS AND WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR TO BE COME DISORIENTED. INCLEMENT WEATHER MAKES THE PROBLEM INTOLERABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE - WITH 5,194 MILES INTERMITTENT AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF ALL GAUGES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO INTERMITTENT CYCLING OF DOOR LOCKS AND HORN AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE BEING LOCKED BY USING THE REMOTE. THE FAILURE OF THE GAUGES HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST 200 OR SO MILES AND THE DOOR LOCK CYCLING HAS HAPPENED ONCE DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME. THERE IS NO APPARENT PATTERN TO THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM. SINCE THERE ARE NO GAUGES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS SEVERELY LIMITED; THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OIL, TEMPERATURE AND TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTION INDICATOR ARE INOPERATIVE. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE INSPECTED ON 02/10/2010 BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IS BEING PROVIDED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF SERVICE. *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM WRITING THIS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD WITH THE SEAT WARMERS IN 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICAL TO THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE MY SEAT WARMER WOULD GET WARMER THAN USUAL AND AFTER 2 TO 3 MINUTES WOULD SHUT OFF. COME TO FIND OUT THE SEAT WARMER PAD HAD SHORTED OUT AND BURNT. I HAVE THE SEAT WARMER PAD THAT IS CHARCOALED AND BURNT. I HAVE CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO GM REPRESENTIVES 4 TIMES INFORMING THEM OF THE FIRE HAZARD ALL I GET IS THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, MY VEHICLE HAS TO MANY MILES AND I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP OTHER THAN GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE AWARE AND GM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. *CN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN NOV OF 2008 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IPC AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AFTER WE GOT THE TAHOE BACK WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY AND IF WE USE THE CRUISE THE TAHOE SPEEDS UP AND WE HAVE TO TURN CRUISE OFF TO STOP IT FROM SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM ALARM GOES OFF AFTER IT MAKES IT HARD TO STOP. (WE HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE SEVERAL TIMES.)RECENTLY 12-2009 OUR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TAHOE TO OUR DEALER AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE THESE PROBLEMS GO AWAY. PLEASE HELP AS WE HAVE THREE KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY. THE PARTS WE HAVE REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT BRAKE SENSOR AND HUB, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER, EBC ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND THE FUEL FILTER. WHICH IS EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED BY OUR DEALER. I JUST WANT IT FIXED!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THIS DATE THE SPEEDOMETER AND BATTERY GAUGE BEGAN TO GO HAYWIRE, AT FIRST THEY BEGAN TO JUMP UP SO IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS DRIVING FASTER THEN I WAS DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I DROVE MY TAHOE THE SPEEDOMETER KEPT GETTING HIGHER AND HAS MAXED OUT OVER 120 MPH, AND THE BATTERY METER WELL OVER 19 VOLTS AND THEY DO NOT MOVE ANYMORE. I NOW HAVE TO RELY ON A PORTABLE GPS IN MY CAR TO ESTIMATE HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. I SEE THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS, BUT I AM 3,000 MILES OVER THE 80,000 REQUIRED TO GET A REPLACEMENT GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INTERMITTENT; STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE PROBLEM STARTED EVENTUALLY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT STAY ON; DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE TILT OF STEERING COLUMN; VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED AND REPAIRED; REPAIR INCLUDED REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH; THE WIRING HARNESS HAD SHORTED OUT APPARENTLY FROM THE REPEATED MOVEMENT OF THE TILT BEING ADJUSTED; OLD PART IS AVAILABLE; I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS AT NIGHT. IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD PER THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. WE DID SMELL SMOKE AT ONE TIME BUT DIDN'T NOTICE ANY OTHER COMPONENTS DAMAGED. MAYBE WE WERE JUST LUCKY. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2003 TAHOE WITH 69,000 MILES ON IT AND ABOUT 20,000 MILES LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING IT IS HARD TO DRIVE THIS WAY. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS ON OTHER G.M VEHICLES AND WAS COVERED IF THE MILES WERE UNDER 70,000 MILES. NOW I AM STRUCK WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RECALL THEN MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, BUT NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT IT. *TR
