VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY. THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED IN MARCH WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON. ON JUNE 2, 2004 I WAS DRIVING IN A VERY SEVERE STORM ON THE TURNER TURNPIKE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THEY CAME BACK ON AND WORKED INTERMITTENTLY ON THAT TRIP TO NORMAN. THEY HAVE WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THEN. THEY USUALLY WILL WORK WHEN IT IS NOT RAINING BUT NOT WHILE IT IS RAINING NOW. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN VERY HEAVY RAIN THAT EVEN WITH THE WIPERS WORKING I HAD DIFFICULTY SEEING. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT HAD I NOT BEEN SUCH A GOOD DRIVER AND REACTED THE WAY I HAD.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OF OUR 1998 TAHOE STOPPED WORKING. SOMETIMES WE WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THEM TO GET THEM STARTED, OTHER TIMES WE WOULD HAVE TO JIGGLE THE WIRING TO GET THEM GOING. THEY WOULD SOMETIMES WORK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP, OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD STOP EVERY FEW MINUTES. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO WHEN THEY WILL WORK. WE WERE STRANDED OUT OF TOWN IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 94-97 RECALL AND NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. I SPOKE WITH CHEVROLET AND A LOCAL DEALER. BOTH ACTED LIKE THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL I MENTIONED THE PRIOR RECALL, THEN THEY JUST SAID WE WERE NOT COVERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHRVROLET NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. *JB

TIRES
IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, I HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES. THE FIRST WAS A COMPLETELY SHREDDED ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS 65 MPH. COSTCO REPLACED THE TIRE, WHICH WAS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD ON MAY 3, 2004. A MONTH LATER, SOMETIME IN JUNE, A SECOND FLAT, ON THE FREEWAY. COSTCO CLAIMED IT WAS A NAIL. THEY SAID THEY PATCHED IT UP AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. THE THIRD FLAT, JUST YESTERDAY ON JULY 18, ANOTHER FLAT. WE TOOK THIS TIRE AND TO ANOTHER TIRE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE STEM. WE ASKED THAT THEY CHECK THE TIRE, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY COSTCO PATCHED BACK IN JUNE AND THEY SAID THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN PATCHED AND THAT THE AIR GAGE WAS REPLACED. WHAT WE INFER IS THAT COSTCO KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THESE VALVE STEMS, LIED ABOUT IT AND LET US GO ON OUR WAY. KNOWING FULL WELL THAT WE STILL HAD TWO TIRES WITH BAD STEM VALVES. THIS THIRD AND FINAL EXAMPLE IS PROOF. THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES GONE BACK IN A PERIOD OF 10 MONTHS IS UNUSUAL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A TIRE DEFECT OR A COSTCO, MAN-MADE DEFECT AND NEED HELP. *JB

I THEN BOUNCED OFF THE DIVIDER, CAME CLEAR AGCROSS ALL LANES AND HIT THE REAR GUARD RAIL, I BOUNDED OFF THAT AND ROLLED ON ITS SIDE. IN ALL MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.*AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE STEERING ASSIST ON THE TAHOE SUDDENLY GOES AWAY AND THE STEERING GOES COMPLETLY LOOSE, AND THEN SUDDENLY IT GETS FIRM AGAIN. THIS CAUSES ERRATIC STEERING AND OVER/UNDER ADJUSTMENT WHICH CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS CRASH. I TOOK IT IN 2 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL COMES AND GOES, ESSPECIALLY WHILE IN A TURN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM. IF THE PWER STEERING FAILS IT SHOULD FAIL TO A FIRM STEERING CONDITION NOT A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING!!*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE OWNED A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS. ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WON'T CRANK UP. THE ENGINE DOESN'T EVEN TURN OVER AS IF TO CRANK, BUT IF YOU WAIT 1 TO 12 HOURS, IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP. THE ENGINE DECIDES HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO RESET ITSELF AND ALLOW US TO CRANK IT. WE ASKED A FRIEND WHO IS A CHEVROLET MECHANIC ABOUT THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TAHOES OF THAT YEAR. HE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM THINKS THAT IT HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO, AND TRIES TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM THEFT AND WON'T CRANK. ON NONE OF THE OCCASIONS THAT IT HAS DISABLED ITSELF HAVE WE HAD THE ALARM SYSTEM DISRUPTED. OUR MECHANIC FRIEND SAYS HE HAS SEEN IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE CHEVROLET COMPANY SAYS THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. IT COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE I LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY. ON A RECENT VACATION TO THE MOUNTAINS, I WAS AFRAID TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHEN WE GOT OUT OF IT TO TAKE PICTURES FOR FEAR THAT IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IS THERE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM? HAVE YOU HEARD IT BEFORE?*AK
