POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE), POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION OF THE ANTI-LOCH BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS IN 2 WHEEL HIGH MODE, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO "LOCK UP" THE WHEELS AS IF IT WERE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WE GET SEVERE WHEEL HOP AND WHEN WE STOP THE VEHICLE, THEN RESTART IT THERE IS A VERY LOUD CLUNKING SOUND. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE PREFORMS NORMALLY. THE PROBLEM ALSO GOES AWAY IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO 4 WHEEL AUTO, 4 WHEEL LOW AND 2 WHEEL HIGH NORMALLY AT ALL OTHER TIMES. AGAIN, THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEEDS (NO PROBLEM FROM HIGH SPEED STOPS) AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST 5 MINTHS.

PARKING BRAKE
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THIS CAR AND OTHER MODELS (SUBURBAN) IS FAULTY. REGARDLESS OF USE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEEDS ADJUSTED EVERY 15-20K MILES.(RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER). THE NEW EMERGENCY BRAKE DESIGN DOES NOT USE THE NORMAL REAR BRAKE PADS..IT HAS ITS OWN SEPERATE BRAKE PAD INSIDE THE WHEEL WELL. THIS "EMERGENCY" PAD BURNS OUT REGARDLESS OF USE. A CHEVROLET MECHANIC AND DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A FAULTY SYSTEM AND THAT I WILL NEED TO RETURN EVERY 15-20 K MILES TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY $130 OF WORK DONE TO ADJUST IT...EVEN IF I DIDN'T USE IT. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DESIGN AND I WISH CHEVROLET WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BAD ENGINEERING AND FAULTY SYSTEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VEHICLE DOES NOT START. IT HAS PLENTY OF BATTERY POWER. ENGINE STUMBLES FOR A SECOND THEN STARTER JUST SPINS WITH NO IGNITION. HAD CHEVY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE P/U VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT START FOR DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RK CHEVROLET VINELAND NJ WHERE VEHICLE SAT FOR A DAY AND A HALF BEFORE IT WAS EVEN LOOKED AT, AND THEN GUESS WHAT, IT STARTED. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AS NO TROUBLE FOUND. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT STRANDS ME AGAIN AND HOPE IT CAN BE LOOKED AT IN A MORE TIMELY FASHION IN HOPES THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING STRANDED AGAIN.

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
THE HEADLINER ON MY 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT HAS BEEN LOSING THE RETAINER PLUGS SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY ON THE TRUCK IN 2001. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE HEADLINER BECAUSE THEY "CLAIMED" IT WAS THE WRONG ONE FOR THE TRUCK. SINCE IT WAS REPLACED AND PLUGS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY DECIDED THAT IT WASN'T CRITICAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT NEW DESIGN OR REPAIR. MY HEADLINER HAS DROPPED DOWN AND REMAINS SO TODAY. THEIR FIX IS TO WRAP FELT AROUND THE PLUGS AND "RAM THEM BACK IN" AS THE SERVICE WRITER EXPLAINED TO ME. THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE TO ME AND I HAVE TRIED TO GET THEM TO FIX IT ANOTHER WAY TO NO AVAIL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BATTERY LEAKED ACID. THE DEALER CLEANED OFF FRAME AND THE "STEEL" BRAKE LINE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND THEN PAINTED IT. THE REPLACEMENT FACTORY BATTERY THEN LEAKED ACID AGAIN IN 09/00. THIS TIME ACID LEAKED INTO BATTERY CABLE "WRAPPING" CAUSING CORROSION OF THE ENTIRE CABLE. IT ALSO LEAKED ONTO THE COUPLING ON THE "STEEL" BRAKE LINE THAT GOES TO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. NOW DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BOX AND CABLE, FENDER WELL AND THE COUPLER ON THE STEEL BRAKE LINE.
