STEERING:COLUMN
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE STEERING COLUMN RATTLES WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A BUMP. THE DEALER GREASED AND INJECTED THE COLUMN WITH A SPECIAL GREASE AT THE COST OF $100; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING FAILS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT WILL SAY I'M DOING 20MPH WHEN I KNOW I'M GOING MUCH FASTER THAN THAT. OR IT WILL REGISTER 0MPH. I TOOK MY TAHOE INTO THE SHOP TODAY AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING CAME UP AS BEING WRONG ON THEIR COMPUTER SO NOTHING WAS FIXED. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY SAID THAT WAS TRUE, THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNLESS THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, I KNOW WHAT IT IS, THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T WORKING! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES NOW, I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO CALL CHEVY EVERYTIME THIS OCCURS, I WANT RESULTS, NOT A SPEEDING TICKET! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE IS FAULTY. STOPPED IN PARK READS 40MHP. HWY SPEED READS 120MPH. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF YET. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH 52,400 MILES AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST GAVE OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD IS NOT WORKING. WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF AND IN PARK THE SPEEDOMETER STILL INDICATES 40-90 MPH. WHEN DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 90-120 MPH. I SPOKE WITH THE DION LLOYD WHO IS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT CHAPMAN CHEVROLET IN PAYSON AZ AND HE TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD ONLY FIX 2003 AND 2004 TAHOE'S BUT NOT THE 2005. HE SAID THAT THEY HAD RECALLED THE 2003-204 TAHOES AND WOULD FIX THEM BUT NOT THE 2005. IN RESEARCHING THIS SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON THE INTERNET IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD BE FIXING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2003-2004 MODELS; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE 2005 MODEL.

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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON MY NEW CHEVY TAHOE, 2007, THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES (50+) OVER THE LAST 20,000 MILES. EACH OCCURRENCE WAS MINOR AND WHEN MENTIONED TO THE DEALER AT NORMAL SERVICE INTERVALS WAS TOLD WAS COMMON FOR A TRUCK (I.E. THEY ARE STIFF WHEN COLD, CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER, ETC.) THIS FINALLY CULMINATED WITH COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE REPAIR OFFERED BY CHEVY IS TO JUST REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A LIKE PART THAT THE MECHANIC BELIEVES IS NOT DIFFERENT. HENCE WE SWAPPED A FAILED DEFECTIVE PART WITH THE SAME DESIGN THAT I MUST ASSUME WILL FAIL AGAIN! THIS IS NOT A FIX AND ONLY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE ONCE AGAIN. MAYBE NEXT TIME IT WILL BREAK WHEN PASSING OR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE? THE GEAR IS CALLED A SPRAG GEAR AND ALL THE GM DEALERSHIPS ARE SILENTLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WE OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH APPROXIMATELY 85,00 MILES. FOR AT LEAST A YEAR WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR CRUISE CONTROL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOLLOWING THE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL EITHER CONTINUE TO RISE (UP TO 120 MPH+) OR FALL DOWN TO 0 NO MATTER HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN IS TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THIS HAS TAKEN 2 OR 3 TRIES TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER TO RESET. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM CHEVROLET THAT "IF THIS CONDITION WAS OCCURRING" WE SHOULD BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE REPAIR WOULD BE FREE IF THE MILEAGE WAS BELOW 75,000. WE ALSO CALLED THE CHEVROLET CONTACT AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD NOT BE FREE SINCE WE WERE OVER 75,000 MILES. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD BE WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE FOR REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER: I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING MY WIFE AND CHILDREN (AGES 2, 4 AND 8) IN OUR TAHOE TO A BAPTISM IN LYNCHBURG. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT 60 MPH. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO CLIMB TO 100+ MPH. I CAREFULLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT TOOK ME 3 TRIES FOR THE SPEEDOMETER TO RETURN TO CLOSE TO 0. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND REENTERED THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 60 MPH AND THE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD WERE FLYING BY ME. I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AGAIN NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN PLOWED INTO BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS THE INCORRECT SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SPEEDOMETER READ 90 MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED AT 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER, WHO INFORMED HER THAT SHE WAS DRIVING 75 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 70,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS PEDAL STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION CAUSING CAR TO SPED UP. IT THEN SLOWED DOWN. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC, IT WAS FOUND THAT A SPRING ON THE GAS PEDAL HAD BECOME DISLODGED. ONE END OF THE SPRING IS STRAIGHT (LIKE AN OPENED PAPER CLIP) THE STRAIGHT PART HAD STUCK INTO THE CARPET AND THEN SLOWLY EASED OUT. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE SITUATION. BECAUSE OF THIS, MY WIFE WAS ISSUED A SUMMONS WHICH IS STILL PENDING. E-MAILS TO GENERAL MOTORS HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY VEHICLE FAILED--RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM GM ABOUT A POSSIBILITY OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE A WEEK EARLIER- THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING MY COMMUTE(60+MI) WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL--ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE, I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AS A POTENTIAL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE RECALL VERSUS A "NOTIFICATION". *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT SLOW SPEEDS AND USUALLY UNDER DAMP CONDITIONS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 2002 TAHOE TAKE HOLD WHEN I AM STOPPING AND ALLOW THE CAR TO CONTINUE AT LEAST 10 FEET AHEAD INTO THE ROADWAY WITH NO STOPPING THE VEHICLE. CONDITION CAN EASILY CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS. NO CODES APPEAR ON AUTO COMPUTER WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE IS A RECALL #05V379000 THAT EXACTLY EXPLAINS THE SITUATION BUT SINCE MY VIN# DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, CHEVROLET WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MARCH OF 2004. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES AND JUST DISCOVERED ON MY OWN THAT SEPT 22, 2005 THIS RECALL CAME OUT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO SIGEL CHEVROLET FOR THE THIRD TIME ON SEPT 14, 2005 AND WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION SO IT MUST NOT BE HAPPENING. WHEN I NEARLY HIT OUR GARAGE DOOR ON 11/16/2007 WITH MY HUSBAND AS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR, I WENT LOOKING FOR ANY RECALL INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ONE OUT THERE BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT DID NOT APPLY TO ME AND SO DID CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO HAS A FILE ON THIS NOW (#71-578554426) BUT THEY STILL DENIED THERE IS ANYTHING THEY SHOULD BE DOING. ON 11/30/07 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AS SUGGESTED BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT I REQUESTED THE DEALER PERFORM THE REMEDY THAT IS EXPLAINED ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND I PAID FOR THAT SERVICE TO BE DONE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY NEPHEW ON 11/30/07. SINCE THEN, AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES, THE BRAKES PULSATE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. AN ONLINE SEARCH SEEMED TO INDICATE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH RUST OR DIRT CAUSING THE ABS SENSORS TO REGISTER INCORRECTLY. ON 12/05/07, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ABS SENSORS AND RING CLEANED. I WAS INFORMED LATER THAT 3 OF THE 4 SENSORS WERE ELECTRICALLY BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST ALMOST $800. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT HAS NOT ONCE COME ON TO INDICATE THERE WAS AN ABS PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES SUSPECTED TO HAVE ABS SENSOR/RING PROBLEMS AND VEHICLES IN WHICH THE ABS WARNING SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. *TR

I WAS JUST DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST FELL TO ZERO AND STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BY OUR HOUSE AND THEY WANT $650.00 TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO TONS OF CHEVY TAHOES. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT NOW SO I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GUESS WHAT YOUR SPEED IS. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED. *TR
