SPEEDOMETER INOPERATIVE ON 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND OTHER 2003 AND 2004 CHEVROLET PRODUCTS. APPARENT THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED, BUT HAS NOT BEEN. GM AGREES TO REPAIR 7 YRS OR 70,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER UNTIL 4 AND 5 MODEL YEARS LATER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT HAS HAD A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER SINCE 65,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 71,500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. CHEVROLET HAS SENT OUT A "SPECIAL PROVISION BY GM" LETTER, NOT A RECALL THAT STATES THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE IS 7 YEAR OR 70,000 OLD. THAT IS NOT EVEN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE ON MILEAGE. I HAVE TO FIX THIS OUT OF MY POCKET! WHAT CAN BE DONE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASED TO 120 MPH. HE DEACTIVATED THE SPEED CONTROL AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. WHEN HE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, THE NEEDLE REMAINED AT 120 MPH. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATED FROM 100 TO 0 AND BEGAN WORKING NORMALLY FOR OVER ONE YEAR BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GENERAL MOTORS STATING THAT THE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER PANEL WOULD BE REPAIRED FOR FREE WITHIN 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. THE VEHICLE IS OVER 70,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 12/04/07

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
MY 2007 TAHOE IS A PIECE OF ?!@#$%. SINCE I GOT THE TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. MY GAS GAGE FLOATS I CAN START OUT AT OF A TANK AND IT WILL GO UP TO OF A TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPLE PARTS AND CAN NOT SEEM TO FIX IT. THE BLOWER IN THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND ANOTHER PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 30 DAYS. I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO QUICK TO SELL ME THE TRUCK, NOT THAT QUICK TO HELP ME. I HAVE PICTURE AND VIDEO WITH TIME AND DATE OF TO GAS GAUGE FLOATING. MY GAS GAGE IS THE RECURRING PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED MULTIPR PARTS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY 2007 TAHOE LTZ WITH 18,500 MILES. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TAHOE WOULD NOT MOVE IN "D", BUT WOULD IN OTHER GEARS. IN "3" I HEADED TO MY DEALER (ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY). "3" WENT OUT WHEN I HAD TO SLOW FOR A LIGHT. I THEN DROVE IN "2" TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM LIKE THIS THEY HAD SEEN IN A 2007. AFTER INSPECTION, I WAS GIVE TECHNICAL NAMES OF THE TRANSMISSION PARTS THAT HAD TORN UP INSIDE. I RECEIVED THE TAHOE BACK IN 1 WEEK AND WAS PROVIDED A FREE RENTAL CAR BY CHEVROLET. I HAVE NOTHING BUT THE HIGHEST PRAISE FOR MY DEALER, BUT AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM IN A NEW VEHICLE. I AM SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A FULL COPY OF ALL WORK DONE FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY MOVES FROM SAY 30 MPH TO 120 WHEN YOU HAVE NOT INCREASED YOUR SPEED. WHEN YOU STOP IT STAYS AT 120 UNTIL YOU RESTART THE VEHICLE THEN IT WILL ONLY COME DOWN MAYBE TO 80 WHEN YOU ARE STANDING STILL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT 600 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS SITE AND OTHERS AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND COULD LEAD TO INJURY. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE INSTRUMENT PANEL DEFECT. CUSTOMER STATES THAT SHE COULD NOT SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN THE DAYLIGHT. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO READ ANY OF THE SMALLER GAUGES LET ALONE THE SPEEDOMETER. IT WAS SUGGESTED TO THE CONSUMER, TO TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH TO PERMANENTLY ON AND NOT USE THE AUTO FUNCTION. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MATERIAL COLORS BESIDE AND AROUND THE INSTRUMENTS WERE JUST TOO DARK FOR DAY LIGHT CONDITIONS. *JB

STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. WHEN IT IS COLD THE STEERING FEEL LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME TILL THE TAHOE WARMS UP THEN I AM BACK THE RANDOM TURNING. WILL NOT LET ANYONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD DRIVE THE TAHOE BECAUSE OF THIS. FOUND A BUNCH OF OTHER TAHOES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING EVO SENSOR IS BAD. LOOKS LIKE THE TAHOE WOULD SEND SOME TYPE OF MESSAGE TO INFORM THE DRIVER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED OR A BYPASS INSTALLED IN CASE OF FAILURE. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I HAVE A 1997 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT HAS WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT DO NOT WORK. THIS BEGAN ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. AT FIRST THE WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY AND ARE NOW AT THE POINT WHERE THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I OWN A 1997 CHEVROLET CK 3500 PICK-UP THAT ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPAIRED AS THE VIN FOR THE PICK-UP WAS ON THE RECALL LIST. ACCORDING TO RECALL #03V159000, YEAR MODEL 1996 CHEVROLET TAHOE VEHICLES ARE ALSO AFFECTED AND ARE THE ONES ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIR. IT SEEMS VERY APPARENT THAT THE SAME CIRCUIT BOARD THAT WAS USED IN 1996 VEHICLES HAS ALSO BEEN USED IN 1997 VEHICLES AS I OWN A 1997 AND IT HAD THIS PROBLEM, AS STATED ABOVE. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL #03V159000 AND THEREFORE HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPLACED. *TR

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE, WENT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED. I NEVER USED THEM SO HOW CAN THEY BE WORN OUT? ALSO, WHEN I WENT TO ADJUST THE CABLE, IT WAS ALREADY ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY THAT IT COULD GO. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED OUT ALL THE WAY. THIS CAME LIKE THIS FROM THE FACTORY AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. NOW THE GARAGE WANT $300 TO REPLACE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WHICH ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE DISC PAD BRAKES. THEY EVEN SAID THAT THE ROTOR MIGHT BE WORN OUT ALSO. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! THAT'S ANOTHER $300 PLUS LABOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS, SIZE P225/60R16 TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ALARM SOUNDED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS FLAT. SHE WENT TO A TIRE STORE AND THE ENTIRE TIRE WAS COMING APART WITH A THREE INCH SPLIT IN THE TREAD IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. THE TIRE WAS THE ORIGINAL TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 19,700.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AS JB---DRIVER'S OUTSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR (HEATED AND LIGHT DIMMING) REFLECTED IMAGE IS SEVERELY DISTORTED. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE MIRROR, BUT IT IS DISTORTED AND AT NIGHT IT IS VERY HARD TO TELL HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE BEHIND BECAUSE EACH HEADLIGHT APPEARS TO BE 3 OR 4 HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
