FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I OWN A 2007 CHEVY TAHOE WITH ABOUT 46000 MILES. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. I CALLED TWO OF OUR LOCAL DEALERS AND WAS TOLD BY ONE THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY UNIT INSIDE OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 400.00 REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE MALFUNCTIONS WERE WIDE SPREAD, AND THEY HAD BEEN MAKING MANY WARR REPAIRS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OUT OF WARR GM VEHICLES. CONSIDERING THE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGES I WOULD HOPE THAT GM WOULD VOLUNTARILY ISSUE A RECALL AND MAKE THE COSTLY REPAIR, EVEN FOR OUT OF WARR VEHICLES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND PRODUCED NO DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO NARROWLY AVOID AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF TRAFFIC HAD BEEN DIFFERENT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A RUSTED BRAKE LINE. I FOUND A REPORT OF AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION OF RUSTED BRAKE LINES THAT COVERS MY VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR, AND I WANT TO ADD MY EVENT TO YOUR DATABASE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 CHEVY TAHOE, 63,000 MILES, REAR LIFTGATE STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. NO MANUAL WAY TO OPEN, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT/EMERGENCY YOU CAN NOT EXIT FROM THE REAR SERIOUSLY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL TIME TO EXIT VEHICLE. FROM ALL THE BLOG POSTS ETC... THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM ITSELF. THE RIGHT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO IDENTIFY CORRECTION AND REPLACE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED-ONE DEATH WOULD BE ONE TOO MANY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DUE TO THE ERROR IN THE FUEL GAUGE(INDICATING MORE FUEL THAN THE VEHICLE HAD) THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILTY ON BOARD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GIVEN A LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS ERROR IN FUEL LEVEL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY AND I REQUEST A OEM RECALL TO CORRECT GAUGE OR SENSOR ERRORS, OUR FUEL GAUGE IS STILL NOT DISPLAYING ACCURATE READINGS, WE DO NOT TRUST THE GAURE ANYLONGER. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN "WILD GAUGE SWINGS/LISTINGS" AT RANDOM INTERVALS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE INCIDENT IS THE VEHICLE STALLING ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH COULD HAVE LEAD TO A ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD NOT SWIRVED AT THE LAST MOMENT. THE FUEL GUAGE REGISTERD 3/4 TANK OF GAS. ONCE STOPPED AT THE NEXT EXIT I WAS ABLE TO PUT 25 GALLONS IN THE TANK. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED THAT THE GUAGE WILL READ SPORATIC READINGS BUT THEN SETTLE BACK TO AROUND THE 3/4 TANK MARK. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL OFTEN SHOW THAT I HAVE MORE THAN A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL, BUT WILL SUDDENLY STALL. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT RARELY DO I LET THE TANK DROP BELOW A QUARTER DUE TO THE ISSUE. IT HAS STALLED OUT BOTH IN MY AREA NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, THE DIGITAL READOUT SHOWING ESTIMATED MILEAGE LEFT, HAS SHOWN ABOVE 100 MILES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IS TO ADD 2 GALLONS OF FUEL OR MORE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. I'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON THREE OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE GAUGE ON THE DASH WILL REPORT THE GAS TANK HAS 1/4 TANK LEFT, THE VEHICLE DIGITAL RANGE WILL REPORT THE SAME THING ,BUT THE CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS. I HAVE TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS GAUGE READS 1/2 FULL OUT OF FEAR THAT THE GAUGE IS LOWER THAN IT ACTUALLY. TWICE I'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON I-295 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS FORCED TO NEGOTIATE A HARROWING MANEUVER TO LEAVE THE CENTER LANE OF THE THREE LANE HIGHWAY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AS THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER POWER. *TR

THE OIL GAUGE ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE WAS REPLACED ON APRIL 6, 2011. THE NEEDLE WAS AS FAR OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAUGE (LOOKING AT IT) AS IT COULD GO. IT CLEARLY WAS NOT READING THE AMOUNT OF OIL PRESSURE. THE ENTIRE DASH PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AFTER IT WAS DETERMINED THERE WERE NO BAD CONNECTIONS TO THE UNIT. THE DASH PART WAS $350.00. *TR

I TRIED TO OPEN THE WINDOW HATCH AND THE WHOLE THING FELL OFF ITS HINGE. IN LOOKING INTO THIS TO TRY TO GET THIS FIXED, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND THIS WAS TO FALL OFF, THIS COULD BE DEVASTATING AND CAN CAUSE DEATHS TO ANYONE BEHIND ME. *TR
