VISIBILITY
THE BACK HEATER HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE ADVISORY NOTICE. BUT THEY CAN NOT HELP US ON THE PROBLEM, NOW IT IS GOING TO COST US OVER 700 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THAT THE MODULE, THE ACTUATOR AND THE HEATER DOORS HAVE FAILED. THEY HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AND IT WILL TAKE 4 DAYS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING:COLUMN
I BOUGHT MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE IN OCTOBER 2006, AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS VIBRATING TERRIBLY, MADE ME VERY NERVOUS AS IT FELT LOOSE. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND ASSUMED THERE MAY BE A RECALL BUT THERE WAS NOT SO HE STUCK A BUNCH OF GREASE IN IT AND IT WAS GOOD. THAT LASTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND AGAIN IN ANOTHER 6 MONTHS OR SO. I HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE TO PAY EACH TIME TO GET THE STEERING SHAFT GREASED AND I THINK THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A TOP DOLLAR AUTOMOBILE SO ONE WOULD THINK THESE PROBLEMS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES IT GOES WAY PAST THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON THE GAUGE. ALSO JUST RECENTLY, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND IT READ 25 MPH. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO RESET IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL TAHOE OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO THEM. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT JUST A SINGLE CASE. I WOULD LIKE GM TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS EXPENSIVE IF I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

2003 TAHOE, APPROX. 86,600 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NO LONGER MOVES WHEN I DRIVE, IT IS STUCK IN THE FULLY DOWN POSITION. I AM GOING OVER 120MPH SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. DEALER WANTED $300-350 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS OVER THE 70,000 MILES THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY WARRANTING THIS THROUGH NOW. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT EVEN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A NEW 2007 CHEVY TAHOE THAT I PURCHASED ON 2/22/07 FOR $49K. ON DEC 31ST, 2007 I CAME HOME FROM WORK AT 3PM AND PARKED MY CAR IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE (CAR OBVIOUSLY TURNED OFF). AT 3:45PM MY WIFE STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE -- UPON ENTERING THE GARAGE I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS SMOKING (FIRE DEPT THINKS ITS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE - DEFINITELY SMELLED LIKE IT WAS). I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH THIS CAR AND KEPT UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE ONLY USING THE GM DEALERSHIP FOR WORK. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FIRE DEPT -- WHEN THE POLICE AND FIRE MADE IT TO THE SCENE THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES. MY ONE YEAR OLD SON WAS SLEEPING IN HIS ROOM RIGHT ABOVE THE GARAGE. THERE ARE A LOT OF "WHAT IFS" THAT GO THROUGH YOUR HEAD IF WE HAD NOT SMELLED THE SMOKE AND THE CAR BLEW UP. NOT EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NEXT TO THE TAHOE WHICH WAS FULL OF GAS. GM HAS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND AND DOES NOT FEEL THAT MY CAR DESERVES TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE VERY HAPPY LETTING MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE AND LETTING ME SUFFER A $16K LOSS OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS INCIDENT. I AM CURRENTLY PURSUING LEGAL AVENUES AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THE LEMON LAW THAT MASSACHUSETTS HAS ON THE BOOKS. *TR
