WHEELS:RIM
SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES,I CAN DRIVE ON THE SAME ROAD AND IT MAY NOT. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED BY THE CHEVY DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE TAHOE AND ALSO HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AT THE SAME TIME.IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL GO AWAY FOR AWHILE AND THEN IT COMES RIGHT BACK AND THEN I HAVE TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED BECAUSE OF BUMPS FORMING ON THE TIRES AND THIS HAPPENS IN A VERY SHORT TIME.I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED BY 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY SAY IT IS IN SPEC AND THAT IS ALL THEY DO. I HAVE JUST PUT ANOTHER SET OF TIRES ON IT AND IT IS STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WERE SOME BAD RIMS MANUFACTURED THAT YEAR, COULD THAT BE PART OF MY PROBLEM.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE SECOND TIRE IN FOUR WEEKS HAD A TREAD SEPERATION. THE FIRST WAS FOUND AT SEARS AUTOMOTIVE WHEN I TOOK VEHICLE BACK DUE TO TIRE VIBRATION. THEY PRO-RATED THE TIRE AND REPLACED IT. FOUR WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER TIRE SEPERATED AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING SOME BODY DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE A THIRD TIRE VIBRATING AT 35 MPH AND AT 70 MPH. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. I AM METICULOUS ABOUT MAINTAINING MY TIRE PRESSRUE AT THE MANUF. SUGGESTED PRESSURE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1998 TAHOE AS WAS RECALLED ON THE 1994-1997 VEHICLES IN REGARD TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER ON THE ISSUE, THERE HAVE BEEN JUST AS MANY 1998'S AS EARLIER MODEL PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GM RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE PROBLEM TO AVOID ANY FUTURE FATALITIES IN RAIM STORMS.
