STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE DOOR (IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL). THEN, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVER DOOR AND RECENTLY THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. WE NOTICED THAT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE DOORS WENT OUT, SO DID THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS (REPLACING THE BULBS AND HOUSING UNITS DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE). THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS ARE INTERMITTENT AND SEEM TO WORK ON OCCASION (IF WE HIT A BUMP OR SOMETHING). THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE TO JUNK OUR TRUCK DUE TO IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TAHOE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES? ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THESE ISSUES? THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR RELATED ISSUES TO ME... *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON POORLY COATED/TREATED BRAKE LINES LED TO A FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COAST INTO TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION ON A BUSY MAJOR HIGHWAY. USE OF DOWNSHIFTING, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND SHIFTING INTO 4WD WAS THE ONLY WAY A MAJOR ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THE REAR DRUM BRAKES WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPENSATE FOR THE COMPROMISED LINE IN THE FRONT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY 1995 CHEVY TAHOE ARE ACTIVATING SPURIOUSLY AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BRAKING. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AS I APPROACH A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR WHEN PARKING IN A LOT. THIS ACTIVATION CAUSES AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME, BUT I COULD SEE HOW IT COULD. FROM SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RUSTING OF THE SPEED SENSORS. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM FOR WHICH A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED TO FIX. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS NOT BEING COOLED FOR SOME REASON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT JUST BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, HE COULD SMELL BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID EACH TIME. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN WITH ANOTHER REBUILT TRANSMISSION. WITHIN NINE YEARS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES EVERY YEAR AND A HALF. THE CONTACT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT THE COST OF $1,700. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 21,838. UPDATED 05/15/09 *BF UPDATED 05/18/09.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CORRESPONDED WITH YOUR AGENCY (ODI# 10098003) ON 10/29/04. ALTHOUGH GENERAL MOTORS HAS RECENTLY ISSUED AN ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM RECALL, IT INCLUDES ONLY CERTAIN MODELS AFTER 1999. BE ADVISED EARLIER YEAR MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND REPAIR TO THOSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE INCURRED $200.00 IN REPAIRS CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM WITH CORROSION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. MY MECHANIC HAS DISABLED THE SYSTEM BY REMOVAL OF THE FUSE TO PREVENT THE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I THEREFORE HAVE A SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR SAFETY WHICH IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY USELESS. AND IN NEED OF REPAIR. LETS GET GM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IN TOTAL. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I DRIVE A 1995 CHEVY TAHOE AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I BREAK THE ABS ENGAGES AT ABOUT 10 MPH, EXTENDING MY FINAL STOP. I HAVE READ THAT THE NHTS IS INVESTIGATING THIS "FEATURE" ON 1999-2002 CHEVY TRUCKS. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCED MYSELF, I THINK THIS DEFECT IS VERY COMMON IN A MUCH BROADER MANUFACTURING TIME PERIOD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. HITTING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE ENGINE FROM REVVING. LIFTING UP ON ACCLERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT SLOW VEHICLE. HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART, THIS ALLOWED THE VECHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THIS FIRST OCCURED ON A SHARP CURVE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. A CALL TO MY DEALER SHOWED THERE WERE NO RECALLS THAT WERE OUTSTANDING FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER COMPLAINTS. I'M SURE NOTHING WILL EVER BE DONE AS IT IS PROBABLY NOT COST EFFECTIVE FOR CHEVY TO FIX IT. *AK
