POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I HAVE ENCLOSED A LETTER WITH FAX DESCRIBING EVENTS. THANK YOU. NO COMPONENT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK THE CONSUMER WROTE A LETTER ON BEHALF OF HER SISTER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN A REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THAT STATE AND FOUND IT TO BE RARE AND VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT AGE/MILEAGE. HE ADVISED THE OWNER TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. UPON CONTACTING GM, THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS NO RECALL. GM INSTRUCTED THE OWNER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE GM LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND MECHANIC AGREED THIS WAS UNUSUAL AND THAT GM SHOULD COVER AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF THE REPAIR. BY THIS TIME, THE OWNER HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIR COMPLETED. *PH

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE CHEVROLET LTD. SINCE 3/04 IT HAS FAILED TO START ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES. IT USUALLY OCCURS IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M LEAVING FOR WORK. ONCE WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MY 14 MONTH OLD'S BROKEN ARM. IT TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE SHOP CHECKS IT SEVERAL HOURS LATER, IT STARTS. THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL ITEMS. NONE OF WHICH HAVE WORKED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY WERE JUST REPLACING THINGS THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. *AK

WHILE THE VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING TODDLER POKED HEAD OUT OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, AND PUT HAND ON THE DOOR ARM REST, WHERE THE POWER WINDOW CONTROLLER SWITCH WAS LOCATED. THE WINDOW STARTED GOING UP, TODDLER PANICED AND PUSHED DOWN HARDER ON THE CONTROLLER SWITCH, AND WINDOW CONTINUED GOING UP AND CHOCKED THE TODDLER.

PARKING BRAKE, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT
MY REAR WINDSHIELD COLLAPSED INTO PIECES WHEN I OPENED THE CARGO DOOR. THE SHATTERED GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE AND RESULTED IN MINOR CUTS SCRAPES, AND NOT TO MENTION INCONTROLLABLE TEARS ON MY 6-YR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. THE SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE STATED SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE GONE FOR THE SAME REASON. MY PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM JUST YESTERDAY AND IT NEEDED ALL OF THE CABLING REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WE LOST 3 TIRES AND THE MEN AT THE TIRE SHOP TOLD US THAT OUR TRUCK WAS MISSING THE PINIONS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND THE DANGERS IT CAUSED. I HAD THEM ADDED TO MY TRUCK AND HAVEN'T HAD A TIRE BUST SINCE. NEVER GOT COMPENSATION. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR. ITS RIDICULOUS HOW THESE NEW VEHICLES ARE FALLING APART AND NO ONE IS ON OUR SIDE. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY THREE SEPARATE MECHANICS ALL OF WHOM NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOES, SUBURBANS, & TRUCKS. I HAVE RARELY USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS PROBLEM RUINED MY BRAKE DRUMS AND COST ME NEARLY $1000.00.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM REST OF TIRE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. AS TREAD SEPARATED FROM RIGHT FRONT TIRE, IT STRUCK THE TUBULAR RUNNING BOARD, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT PLASTIC STEP OFF. IT ALSO STRUCK THE RIGHT-SIDE MIRROR, BREAKING THE PLASTIC SHELL AND MOTORIZED ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS, AND STRUCK RIGHT REAR FENDER FLARE, CAUSING IT TO BECOME LOOSE. AT THIS POINT, IT IS UNKNOWN IF OTHER DAMAGE WAS CAUSED, AS I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT TO SERVICE SHOP FOR ESTIMATE. TIRE THAT SEPARATED WAS PROPERLY INFLATED PRIOR TO TRIP FROM YUMA TO PHOENIX. TIRE BRAND WAS FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT, WHICH WAS NOT LOT # RECALLED IN PRIOR PROBLEMS CONCERNING FORD EXPLORERS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS 2000 CHEVY TAHOE 4-DR 4X4 Z71.*AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE TWO REAR POWER WINDOWS ON MY 2000 CHEVY TAHOE DEVELOPED INTERNAL INTERMITTENT SHORTS AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH THE TWO FRONT POWER WINDOWS NOT WORKING AT TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE SEEN PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WINDOWS IN THE TAHOE'S. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 23751 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME THE BACK WINDOW MOTORS WERE REPLACED. I WAS CHARGED OVER $400.00 FOR THESE REPAIRS. IT SEEMS TO ME THE PROBLEM WITH THE MOTORS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND I SHOULDN'T BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACEMENT.*AK
