SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS COMPUTER MODULE CAUSES THE PUMP TO CONTINUOUSLY RUN THE ABS LIGHT TO TURN ON. IT SEAMS THAT MANY 2001 TAHOES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AS PER THE PARTS DEPARTMENT ATTENDANT AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THE PART WAS ABOUT $800.00 AT THE DEALER, I CONTACTED MANY SALVAGE YARDS AND THEY ALL HAD MEANY TAHOES, BUT THEY SAID THAT THE ABS MODULE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PARTS TO SALE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT MEANY PEOPLE WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION. I BELIVE THAT THERE SHUDE BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
A LOUD AIR BLOWER SOUND COULD/CAN BE HEARD FROM THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO TWO MECHANICS WHO BOTH TOLD ME THE ABS SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE ONLY CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO PURCHASE $1,200 PART + LABOR FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER WITH NO GUARUNTEE THE PART WILL WORK. WAS TOLD BY MECHANICS THEY SEE THE ABS FAILURES IN CHEVY PRODUCTS DAILY. IN NOVEMBER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE ABS SYSTEM HAD BEEN DISENGAGED DUE TO FAILURE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND WILL SELL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I OWN A 2001 CHEVY TAHOE, THE HEATER BLOWER WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER THE KEY IS OUT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE SHOP 4 TIMES NOW WITH DEALERS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL HEAD AND THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER TWICE BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP, THEN THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND SICK OF RUNNING UP CHARGES TO FIX SOMETHING THAT EVEN THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR 2001 TAHOE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR QUITE A WHILE. IT HOUSES THE TURN SIGNAL, CLEARANCE LIGHT AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT. IT CONSTANTLY FILLS WITH WATER. THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE LENS AND I HAVE DRIED IT OUT AND REPLACED BULBS ON A MONTHLY BASIS. I NOTICED THAT A LARGE MAJORITY OF CHEVY TRUCKS, TAHOES AND SUBURBANS ON THE ROAD HAVE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS OUT ALSO, ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH AN ABS BRAKE MODULE FAILURE. THE MOTOR/PUMP THAT CONTROLS THE ABS BRAKES WON'T TURN OFF. IT KEEPS RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. MY ABS LIGHT TURNS ON AND ABS BRAKES ARE NOW NOT OPERATIVE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON 2001 MODEL CHEVY/GMC FULL SIZE SUV/PICKUPS. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS DUE TO ABS BRAKE FAILURES.*AK
