SUSPENSION
VEHICLE BEGAN RIDING ROUGH AT 58,000 MILES. DUE TO COVID WE JUST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FRONT SHOCKS ARE LEAKING AND THE REAR BAGS NEEDN'T TO BE REPLACED AS THEY HAVE HOLES IN THEM THEY WANT 2900 TO FIX. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A 70K VEHICLE WITH 68000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED 3 NEW TAHOE'S IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. IF GM DOES NOT MAKE THIS RIGHT THIS IS THE LAST GM PRODUCT I EVER PURCHASE AND IF THE DOT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT THEY ARE JUST AS BAD. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY NEW 2020 TAHOE HAS AUTO/POWER PEDAL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. IT ALLOWS BOTH PEDALS IN UNISON TO BE LOWERED OR RAISED FOR COMFORT AND DEXTERITY OF USE. THE HEIGHT DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL IS EXTREME. THERE IS A INHERENT DANGER OF HITTING THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL PRIOR TO GETTING ONES SHOE ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL. WOMEN WEARING SANDALS OR OPEN FACE FOOTWEAR CAN POSSIBLY SNAG THEIR FOOTWEAR TO THE SIDE OF THE PEDAL PLATFORM. ANY HEAVY WORKING TYPE SHOE IS ALSO PRONE TO HITTING THE SIDE OF THE PEDAL FIRST. MY WIFE AND I BOTH NOTICED THIS DURING OUR SEPARATE TEST DRIVES. IN EACH CASE, THE TIMING OF ACTUALLY ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL ENDANGERS THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SLOW OR STOP HIS VEHICLE. ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR. I ASKED THE SALESMAN IF THE PEDALS COULD BE SEPARATELY ADJUSTED, TO WHICH HE STATED IT WASN'T POSSIBLE.THE INABILITY TO ADJUST EITHER PEDALS HEIGHT INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH DRIVERS DEXTERITY OF ENGAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT. WOULD BOTH AUTOMATIC POWERED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS BE EFFECTIVE IF THEY WERE SET TO BE ADJUSTED IN UNISON ONLY ? I'M NOT SURE WHEN AUTOMAKERS MADE THE DECISION TO NEGATE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE DISTANCE OF HEIGHT INDEPENDENTLY OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE PEDALS. THIS IS OUR FIRST VEHICLE PURCHASE SINCE OUR LAST IN 1985. IT APPEARS TO ME, THAT IT HAS BEEN AN UNAPPARENT OR UNNOTICED POSSIBLE REASON FOR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. YOU MIGHT FIND MY OBSERVATION TO BE VERY LIKELY. *TR

I HAD CRACKS APPEAR ON MY VEHICLES DASHBOARD ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND OVER BY THE AIR BAG COVER. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC SHRAPNEL FLYING INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DEPLOYS. GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS EITHER CHEAP PLASTIC OR A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I URGE YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL IN THIS MATTER AS THIS COULD EFFECT PEOPLES LIVES. I FEEL THIS IS GM'S DUTY TO ADDRESS AND TAKE CARE OF THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES THAT THEY BUILD.

I WAS HIT I ENTERED AN INTERSECTION BY A LARGE SEMI/GRAVEL TRUCK THAT I DID NOT SEE BECAUSE THERE WAS A SEMI ON THE OTHER SIDE CLOSER TO ME AND GOING SLOWER. IT HIT MY LEFT FRONT DRIVER SIDE HARD ENOUGH TO SPIN MY CAR ACROSS 2 LANES WITH A LOT OF DAMAGE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD ALONG WITH OTHER BRUISING. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I AM WORRIED THAT IF IT HAD BEEN CLOSER TO THE CAB I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2016 TAHOE THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER. I HAD ALSO PURCHASED A PROTECTION PLAN WITH FINISHING TOUCH THAT THEY TALKED US INTO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR ON THE PAINT AND INTERIOR. 3.5 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF FADED. WE CONTACTED THE PROTECTION PLAN AND THEY WERE MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF. THEY SENT AN ADJUSTER OUT AND HE CLASSIFIED AS CLEAR COAT FAILURE. THEN THE RUN AROUND STARTED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED WITH THE ASSISTANT MANAGER IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE BROUGHT OUT THE MANAGER AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS PAINT FAILURE. SO THEN THE DEALERSHIP GETS INVOLVED WITH CHEVROLET. THE FIRST CALL COMES BACK AND SAYS THEY WILL COVER 20%. I TOLD THEM THAT SOME ONE WAS GOING TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND IT WON'T BE ME. THEY SOLD ME A PROTECTION PLAN THROUGH FINISHING TOUCH FOR THE PAINT AND THE INTERIOR SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO COVER THE DAMAGE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I GET A CALL STATING THAT BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP, CHEVROLET AND FINISHING TOUCH IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST. NOW IT GETS BETTER. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE HOOD AND THE ROOF REPAINTED. AFTER A WEEK AT THE BODY SHOP THE CAR IS READY TO BE PICKED UP. WE WALK UP TO THE CAR AND IT IS ALL SHINY AND LOOKING GOOD. BUT THE COLOR DOESN'T MATCH. WE CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER OUT AND HE SAYS HE CAN'T SEE THE ISSUE. THE TAHOE IS A BROWNSTONE METALLIC AND THE HOOD IS MORE BRONZE THAN THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. HE TELLS ME HE CAN GET THE PAINT MANAGER TO COME SPEAK TO ME BECAUSE HE CAN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A OVERCAST DAY SO IT DOESN'T SHOW REALLY BRIGHT BUT MY HUSBAND AND I CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE. WHILE WE ARE WAITING FOR THE MANAGER FROM THE BODY SHOP TO ARRIVE WE WALK AROUND THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP STATES CHEVROLET WILL NOT BLEND THE PAINT TO MATCH.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THERE IS A RECALL #04004. "BRAKE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE" BUT MY VIN# IS NOT ON THE LIST. OVER 64,000 VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED AND THERE IS A "#1" ON THE MOUNTING SURFACE. ALL OF THE UNITS DETECTED A MACHINING ERROR IN THE RELIEF BORE CAVITY FOR MODULES PRODUCED FROM A MACHINE IDENTIFIED AS "FADAL #1" THIS CAN AND HAS CAUSED MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE TO HAVE NO POWER ASSIST WITH MY STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF HOLDING TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A RED LIGHT. AND CAN NOT OPERATE IN SMALL SPACES SUCH AS PARKING GARAGES AND CERTAIN PARKING STALLS. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAT I CAN DO IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND FIND OUT IF THERE IS SOME MISTAKE AS FAR AS MY VIN# NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BUT YET EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME INOPERABLE FOR THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE NO POWER ASSIST AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT...I WANT TO SEE ABOUT RECEIVING SOME AID IN ALL THIS. THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE SINCE AUGUST OF 2019. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO LOSE WORK FOR A LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. MY CREDIT HAS FALLEN BEHIND BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND SPENDING MY SAVINGS ON TRYING TO GUESS AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. FOR IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE COVID-19 IS HERE IS A DOUBLE WHAMY! IN DIRE STRAITS - CALI LOVIN MY 4X4 - [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
