VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER COMING OFF CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH AND PROCEEDING THROUGH TOWN, I HIT THE RESUME BUTTON TO ONCE AGAIN INCREASE SPEED FROM 45 MPH TO 55 MPH BUT WHILE ON A ROAD WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE (LESS THAN 5% GRADE.) AFTER PRESSING AND QUICKLY RELEASING THE RESUME BUTTON AS I NORMALLY DO, THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATED UNINTENTIONALLY AND PROCEEDED TO INCREASE SPEED TO OVER 101 MPH BEFORE I DISENGAGED IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IN THE PAST I ALWAYS WOULD DISENGAGE IT IMMEDIATELY BUT SEEING AS HOW I WAS ON AN OPEN ROAD I FIGURED I WOULD SEE IF IT WOULD DISENGAGE ITSELF. WHEN I FELT I WAS GOING WAY TOO FAST TO TALK A POLICEMAN OUT OF A TICKET AND ACTUALLY DIDN'T FEEL SAFE ANY LONGER I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AFTER FIGURING THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO DISENGAGE ITSELF UNTIL THE SPEED LIMITER WAS REACHED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 54000 MILES ON IT AND THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON IT WAS THE DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE CALLED GM AND REPORTED THIS BUT THEY HAVE INDICATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST. I USE THE CRUISE CONTROL IN PROBABLY ABOUT 80% OF MY DRIVING AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS (ALL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR) AND ON LONGER TRIPS (AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR) IN EXCESS OF 75 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AT 10 MPH, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES NORMALLY, WHICH RESULTED IN LESS BRAKING DISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS IN A PARKING LOT, THE ABS REMAINED ACTIVATED AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND. A LOCAL MECHANIC DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK); HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER JUMPS AROUND AND AT ANY GIVEN TIME COULD READ 20MPH ABOVE MY ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, IT SOMETIMES STICKS AROUND THE 10 TO 20 MPH MARK. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONS BY STICKING WHILE DRIVING AND NOT RETURNING TO ZERO WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER TO ZERO OUT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO. OTHER TIMES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS TO REGISTER ANY VALUES. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WANTS TO CHARGE ME $ 500 FOR THE PART AND AN AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED IN LABOR ($200-300) TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT FOR MODEL YEARS 2003-2007. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED IN COURT. NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CA. ONE SUCH MATTER. HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT PANELS HAVE BEEN CITED BY THE CASE FILING AND THE LISTING ON SEVERAL PUBLIC WEBSITES THAT INCLUDE THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THE NHTSA CITES IN REPORTS THAT IN 2005 30% OF ACCIDENTS LEADING TO FATALITIES ARE SPEED RELATED CRASHES; THE SAME REFERENCE LISTS 13,113 LIVES WERE LOST. CONSIDERING THIS ASSESSMENT BY THE NHTSA - I FIND THIS MATTER NOT SUBJECT TO FULL RECALL OR FURTHER DETAILED INVESTIGATION AN ALARMING ISSUE. DUE TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEING A VITAL MEASURING DEVICE FOR THE OPERATOR THIS BECOMES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND CONCERN FOR ALL CONSUMERS WHO ARE ON ROADS WHERE THESE VEHICLES ARE USED NOT JUST THE OWNERS.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AND MAX OUT AT FUEL CUT-OFF. ACCELERATION IS UNRESPONSIVE TO BRAKE APPLICATION TO INCLUDE 100% APPLICATION, RESULTING IN SMOKE AND ODOR. VEHICLE CANNOT BE STOPPED OTHER THAN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, RPM WILL IMMEDIATELY CLIMB TO IN EXCESS OF 5000 RPM. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS NORMALLY OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT HAVE OCCURRED ALSO ON CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM THEN RESETS ITSELF AT ITS DISCRETION. CHEVEROLET HAS BEEN "WORKING" ON FINDING THE PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER, TOTAL IN EXCESS OF 90 DAYS. I WAS PROVIDED WITH A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER (VDR) TO IMAGE THE ISSUE. VDR HAS A CABLE PLUGGED INTO VEHICLE COMPUTER THE DANGLES BETWEEN THE GAS/BRAKE PEDAL AND DRIVER POSING AN ADDITIONAL HAZARD. VEHICLE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD LIKELY TO RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. I AM UNABLE TO AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ENJOY AND UTILIZE THE VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSES TO WHICH IT WAS INTENDED FOR/PURCHASED AND HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A SEVERELY RISKY POSITION BY CHEVROLET. IN ADDITION, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE STABILITRAC WHERE IT ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES WITHOUT APPLICATION OF THE BUTTON. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN RAISED WITH CHEVROLET BUT NO CODES WERE READ DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED OFF, CAUSING A RESET (PER CHEVROLET). HOWEVER, WHEN STABILITRAC PROBLEM SURFACED YET AGAIN, PROBLEM WAS WITNESSED BY CHEVROLET SERVICE REP BUT NO WORK COULD BE DONE DUE TO AN OPEN TICKET WITH GMC REGARDING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE. CHEVROLET HAS DOWNLOADED IMAGES/INFORMATION FROM THE VDR AND HAS STATED THAT THERE IS/ARE ISSUES AND RESET AND RETURNED THE VDR TO ME REQUESTING AGAIN THAT I TAKE MORE IMAGES WHEN MY VEHICLE IS STUCK IN ACCELERATION AND TO BE CAREFUL. INITIAL ATTEMPT FOR THIS REPAIR IN SEPTEMBER NOTED "DRIVABLE CONCERN." PROBLEM IS RECURRING FROM 0-9 INCIDENTS EACH DAY. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSELF. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15 MPH, THE ABS ENGAGES AUTOMATICALLY WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNLESS THE DRIVER SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. HE THEN FOUND AN INVESTIGATION (ACTION NUMBER PE05020) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NUMEROUS PLACES. SOME REPAIR SHOPS WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAILURES INITIALLY; HOWEVER, WHEN HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED THAT THE WHEEL HUB SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER SAFETY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT ALL AFTER THE INCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP. I STILL HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. GM DEALER NOR THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A ISSUE ON THE TAHOE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A MAIN ROAD WITH SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC - IT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. 4L60 TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS 4WD I BOUGHT BRAND NEW MAY 2006. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 OR 4 TIMES BECAUSE IT KEEPS CLANKING/CLUNKING LOUDLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR STOP. IT CLANKS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP. IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH+ AND SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH OR LESS, THEN THE TAHOE CLUNKS LOUD ENOUGH PEOPLE ON THE STREET CAN HEAR IT. THE DEALERSHIP(S) CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM (ONE DEALERSHIP HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT WAS MY 3RD ROW SEAT). IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH A WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF OR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP. THE LAST DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HUB ASSEMBLY ON ONE OF THE WHEELS, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP...STILL CLUNK, CLANK. I CAN'T TELL IF THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE BACK FOR SURE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT. MY WARRANTY IS ABOUT EXPIRE AND I'M AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE/PROBLEM IF IT'S NOT RESOLVED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MECHANISM FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATS FAILED TO RECLINE BACKWARDS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR. FINALLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW AND HEATED SEAT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED ENGINE COOLANT ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE STORAGE RESERVOIR RATHER THAN THE RADIATOR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WAS ALSO LEAKING ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. I TOOK MY TAHOE INTO A DEALER. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS, THEY CONDUCTED THEIR EVALUATIONS AND I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $450.00 TO REPAIR BOTH PROBLEMS. I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO FIX ONE PROBLEM SO I CHOSE THE COOLANT LEAK. THEY "FIXED" THE LEAK...FOR ABOUT $250.00. THE COOLANT RESERVOIR LEAK REAPPEARED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. THE TAHOE WAS THEN OUT OF WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY TO FIX THESE ISSUES IT TAKES LOTS OF TIME AND EXPERTISE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE BECOMING EXPENSIVE AND CONTINUE TO BE ANNOYING. I AM BEING TOLD NOW THAT THE PROBLEMS ARISE FROM THE FLUID CONTAINERS RUBBING AGAINST THEIR MOUNTING BOXES WHICH IS CREATING HOLES IN THE CONTAINERS. ANY SUGGESTIONS? STEVE MULLIS *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING AFTER REACHING MILEAGE OF 90,000. GOT STUCK AT APX.70 MPH AND AFTER DRIVING AWHILE IT INCREASED TO 120 POINTING SOUTH EVEN WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THEN OIL AND GAS GAUGE STARTED TO ERROR. DEALERSHIP COST OVER $500 TO REPAIR AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NEVER NOTIFIED, HEARD OF RECALL, OR INFORMED OF PROBLEM FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER UNTIL PROBLEM STARTED. SEARCHED INTERNET AND LEARNED OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM AND THEY STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A SETTLEMENT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AS MY VEHICLE DIDN'T ERROR UNTIL AFTER SOME DEADLINE. I'M BAFFLED AS TO WHY SOME OWNERS WERE EXCLUDED IF PROBLEMS DIDN'T EXIST AT THE TIME GM RECTIFIED OTHERS. IS IT THE OWNERS FAULT THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T ERROR BEFORE THIS SO CALLED UNFAIR TIME LINE? IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THE GM REPLACEMENT SOONER, MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE JUST HAD IT REPLACED BEFORE IT ERRORED......WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN AS THEIR PRACTICES ARE NOT HELPFUL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

OUR 2005 TAHOE HAS BEEN HAVING SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS TO NOT DECREASE SPEED WHEN WE SLOW DOWN AND WHEN WE ACCELERATE THE SPEED JUST KEEPS GOING UP ON SPEEDOMETER UNTIL IT PEGS. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SEVERAL EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2005 MODEL. IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT, POLICE COULD SAY WE ARE GOING FASTER THAN WE ARE AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANY COULD DENY THE CLAIM. ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF A SPEEDING TICKET NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY. WE ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES A WEEK. SPEEDOMETER ACTS UP 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. *TR
