TIRES
I HAVE A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH FIRESTONE LE TIRES P26570R16. I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT ON JULY 3, 2003 ON THE LEFT REAR TIRE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2002, THESE TIRES WERE BRAND NEW AT THE TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL.*AK

PARKING BRAKE
LIVING IN THE CITY LIMITS OF MEMPHIS, TN A RESIDENT IS REQUIRED TO PASS VEHICLE INSPECTION BEFORE RENEWING VEHICLE TAGS. MY 2000 TAHOE CHEVROLET FAILED INSPECTION FOR THE EMERGENCY BREAK DID NOT WORK. AFTER HAVING FIXED AND RETURN TO RE-INSPECT MY VEHICLE THE FIRST THING OUT OF THE LADIES MOUTH WHEN I PULLED IN WAS LET ME GUESS YOU FAILED B/C OF YOUR EMERGENCY BRAKE I SAID YES, HOW DID YOU KNOW. SHE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT SEVERAL TAHOE/YUKONS INCLUDING 2003 HAVE FAILED THIS YEAR. WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SO FURTHER INVESTIGATION CAN BE DONE. THANKS. *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
THE TRUCK WAS EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL EMISSIONS INSTEAD OF CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS. HE WAS INFORMED OF AN WRITTEN ANNOUNCEMENT /LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO SOME TAHOE OWNERS. THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURES AS THE CONSUMER'S WHICH RECEIVED THE INFORMATION FOR "SEQUENTIAL FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM". THE MANUFACTURE ZONE REP AGREED TO FIX IT AT FIRST BUT IS NOW DENYING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ALONG WITH MISFIRING OF THE INJECTORS. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
WHILST DRIVING HOME FROM UPSTATE NY TO MY HOME IN NJ, THE FUEL PUMP ON MY CHEVROLET TAHOE FAILED SUDDENLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY. I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH AT THE TIME AND WITH THE FAILURE OF THE PUMP, I LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. I VERY NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT AND OTHER TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND TRYING TO STEER AND BRAKE WITHOUT POWER IS NOT EASY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT A FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED ON A TAHOE OWNED BY MYSELF, ALTHOUGH THE OTHER 2 TIMES THE FAILURE WAS WHILE PARKED AND NOT AT HIGH SPEED. MY CURRENT CAR HAS 72,000 MILES. THE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS WERE AT APPROX THE SAME MILEAGE. IS THIS NORMAL? HAVE ANY OTHER ACCIDENTS BEEN CAUSED BY SUDDEN AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF TAHOE FUEL PUMPS? *JB

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DEAR SIRS, I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE, THAT I BOUGHT NEW. OCACIONALLY THE ENGINE ( 5.3 L), WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. USUALLY WHEN BRAKING BUT JUST BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP.IT ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS AT OPERATING TEMP.I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE, AT IDLE, WOULD DIP DOWN TO 200- 300 RPM'S, WITH THE A/C OR DEFROSTER ON, AND THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND SHAKE THE VEHICLE. IF I TAP THE GAS PEDDLE A LITTLE, IT PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS.I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HARBOR CHEVERLET, MICHIGAN CITY ON 2-25-02 FOR SERVICE AFTER IT HAD STALLED ON ME 8-10 TIMES SINCE NEW,AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM PER TSB #00-07-30-006, AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH 33092 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 4-12-02 ,SAME COMPLAINT. THEY SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME. IT IS NOW 12-18-02 AND IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS STALLED AROUND 15-20 DURING IDLE CONDITIONS.THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OTHER THAN AT IDLE. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON SATUDAY WITH 49000 MILES ON, AND OUT OF WARRANTY TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FIXING IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND PROBLEM, AND COULD YOU E-MAIL THAT TO ME? THANK YOU.
