TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TIRE FAILURE. NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 3,000 MILES. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. TIRE WAS REPLACED BY FIRESTONE AT NO CHARGE. FIRESTONE PERSONEL MAINTAIN THAT DRIVER RAN OVER SOMETHING AND FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY PUNCTURE. THE SIZE OF THE HOLE IN THE TREAD NOT CONSISTENT WITH THAT THEORY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILS TO FUNCTION APPROPRIATELY WHEN GOING FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO FORWARD OR REVERSE. IN REVERSE POSITION, LOUD GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD. IN FORWARD, VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE FINALLY MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. FIRST REPAIR REVEALED FRONT THRUST SHIM WITH TOO MUCH END PLAY; TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS REBUILT (MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE), THRUST WASHER REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION OVERHAULED. TWO RETURN VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM AND DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT RECREATE AND HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEMS. *NLM

STEERING
POPPING NOISE HEARD IN STEERING SINCE THREE WEEKS OF PURCHASE. DEALER ORIGINALLY ADVISED IT WAS NORMAL ON NEW VEHICLES AND NEEDED TO "WORK OUT THE KINKS." TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS. FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT, DEALER FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN LOWER BALL JOINTS AND REPLACED BOTH. PICKED U VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY HEARD POPPING NOISE AGAIN. DEALER THEN PERFORMED SECOND REPAIR ATTEMPT BY FINDING CENTER CROSS MEMBER AND RIDE HEIGHT BUSHINGS IN NEED OF LUBING. POPPING NOISE RECURRED WITHIN MONTH OF PICKING UP VEHICLE AFTER SECOND REPAIR ATTEMPT. SERVICE MGR TOOK TEST DRIVE AND HEARD POPPING NOISE. NOW STATES HE CANNOT RECREATE AND KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT NOT SURE WHAT. *NLM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE, ONLY 51,000 MILES AND ACCELERATOR STICKS WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAD IT REPAIRED TODAY AT DEHAVEN CHEVROLET. THEY HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT AND REPAIRED IT AT A COST OF $193.59, BUT TRUTHFULLY $139.95 DIRECTLY RELATED. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN SO SOON IN A VEHICLES LIFE, AND IS SO SAFETY RELATED, THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD REPAIR UNDER A RECALL, OR AT THEIR EXPENSE. I'VE NEVER HAD A STUCK ACCELERATOR PROBLEM AND I AM GLAD THE KIDS, AND MY WIFE MENTIONED IT. IT DID STICK ON ONCE OR TWICE. I HAD FIXED WITHIN 2 DAYS. *NLM

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MY 2000 TAHOE HAS BROKE TWICE. THE REGULATOR'S CABLE RUSTED OUT THE FIRST TIME. THIS SECOND TIME I'VE JUST LEFT IT ALONE. I'M JUST GLAD IT STAY STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE UNIT INCLUDING THE MOTOR WITH THE REGULATOR, AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS THE MOTOR NOT THE WINDOW REGULATOR BUT 9 TIME OUT 10 ITS GOING TO BE REGULATOR, WHAT A SCAM. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WENT OUT. THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS HINGES SQUEAK AND GRIND. I'VE ALREADY HAD THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HINGE REPLACED, NOW THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR HINGE IS GETTING WORST. *NLM
