VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS OCCASIONALLY WOULD STOP WORKING OR NOT WORK AT ALL RESULTING IN LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. DEALER IN LOCAL AREA STATED PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS (GM TRUCK/SUV WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT, BUT APPARENTLY ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UP THROUGH 1996). CORRECTED PROBLEM BY REPLACING WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER MYSELF USING RECALL DOCUMENTATION AND PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO 1996 TAHOE. *NM

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S REAR PASSENGER TIRE DROVE OVER A NAIL AND LOST AIR PRESSURE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT A DIME SIZE PIECE OF RUBBER WAS MISSING ALONG THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP, WHO REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WITH A FULL SIZE SPARE. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND DETERMINED THAT THE CONTACT COULD HAVE HIT AN OBJECT ON THE ROAD, CAUSING THE TREAD SEPARATION. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, IF A PIECE OF TIRE RIPPED OFF SO EASILY. THE TIRE WAS A BRIDGESTONE DUELER 684, SIZE: P265/70R17.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR TAHOE HAS 46295 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE SPEEDOMETER BECAME ERRATIC. IT SOMETIMES WORKS, BUT OFTEN SHOWS SPEEDS OF 50-80 MPH WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN IDLE, AND MUCH HIGHER WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING. AFTER TALKING WITH MANY DEALERS, REPAIR SHOPS AND OTHER GM DRIVERS, THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM. APPARENTLY, THE ISSUE IS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE, AND OTHER GAUGES MAY OR MAY NOT BE WORKING AS WELL. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY CONCERN AND A VEHICLE CONCERN, AS I MAY NOT KNOW MY CORRECT SPEED, LEVEL OF GAS, ETC. *NM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
AT 3700 MILES NOTICED FRONT TIRES WERE FEATHERING. AFTER VISITING DEALER AND QUESTIONING THEY ASKED IF I HAD TIRES ROTATED? I EXPLAINED THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS TOO LOW SO THEY SUGGESTED ROTATING AND COMING BACK. ALSO, WINDOW TRIM ON 2 REAR WINDOWS COMING OFF SINCE FIRST DAY OF OWNERSHIP, RECENTLY BEEN TOLD THIS IS A RECALL AND A KNOWN PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY 1999 CHEVY TAHOE 4X4 STARTING HAVING THE ABS SYSTEM ACT UP STARTING A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I CALLED CHEVY ABOUT A RECALL THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE FOR 99 TAHOE AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE EFFECTED RANGE OF 99'S. THE PROBLEM IS THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AROUND 5-8 MPH THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS ON AND I CAN'T STOP THE TRUCK ALMOST GETTING INTO MANY ACCIDENTS WITH IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM NOW AND THEY WONT FIX IT. NOW I NEED THE TRUCK FIXED AND ITS DOING THE SAME THING THE RECALL STATES ITS DOING. ITS SAYS THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL SENSORS. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SINCE THEY WON'T. THIS TRUCK IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOW THAT THERE IS SNOW AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *NM

2003 CHEVY TAHOE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN WORKING ERRATICALLY FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS. ESPECIALLY DURING HOT WEATHER, THE SPEED DISPLAY SHOWED SLOWER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED. STOPPING THE CAR, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING USUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 10/9/06 THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF, AND NOW DOES NOT EVER FALL BELOW 60. ONLINE, I'VE SEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM CHEVY & GMC CUSTOMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS NOT INDICATED THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, BUT A DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE MANY REPAIRS OF THIS TYPE. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED IN TWO WEEKS AT MY EXPENSE (SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY) BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ENOUGH COMPLAINTS INDICATE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT 43,000 MILES MY SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AND WILL NOT WORK. AT PARK IT READS 80 OR 20. I BOUGHT MY TAHOE NEW WITH ONLY 10 MILES AND NOW IT IS 3 YEARS OLD. I CALLED A DEALER AND HE SAID THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPEN TO A NEW VEHICLE. WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I LOOK AND IT SAYS THAT I AM GOING 60 THEN A SECOND LATER IT READS THAT I AM GOING 120 AND IT IS STUCK. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE AND I HAVE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT THERE TAHOE DID THE SAME THING. *JB
