SEAT BELTS:FRONT
I BOUGHT A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE IN MARCH OF 2004. SINCE THAT TIME THE FRONT SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. CURRENTLY THE TAHOE IS IN HAWTHORNE CHEVROLET IN HAWTHORNE NJ, TRYING TO GET IT REPAIRED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED CHVROLET THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL BE UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED. IF THAT HAPPENS CHEVROLET SEEMS RESISTANT TO STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY DEFECT OF THERE MANUFACTORED TRUCK. MY TRUCK OBVIOUSLY CAN NOT BE RELEASED FROM THE DEALER UNTIL FIXED. OCTOBER 13 WAS THE 5TH DAY IN THE SHOP FOR THE TRUCK AND IT WAS RETURNED THERE THAT DAY AND IS STILL THERE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
I HAVE A 2001 TAHOE RECENTLY THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. LATER THAT DAY WHEN THE IGNITION WAS OFF, THE ABS PUMP WAS STILL RUNNING. I DISCONNECTED THE 60A FUSE THAT FEEDS THE ABS SYSTEM AND IT STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT WITH 52,000 MILES IT WAS NOT COVERED, AND WANTED $1000 TO REPLACE IT. WHILE LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND ENDLESS COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE WEB BOARDS CLAIMING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND A COMPANY "CIRCUIT SOLUTIONS" THAT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM, A BAD SWITCH THAT THEY CALL AN INADEQUATE SWITCH FOR $100. THEY SAY ON THIER SITE THAT THE SWITCH IS TOO SMALL FOR THE POWERFUL ABS MOTOR. THE NEW SWITCH THEY INSTALL IS SUPPOSEDLY 30% HIGHER RATED THAN THE ONE USED.*AK

PARKING BRAKE
FOR A 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE REGARDING THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED NO MORE THAN THREE TIMES SINCE IT WAS NEW, THE FIRST TIME BEING AT ABOUT 15000 MILES. IT IS NOW NON-FUNCTIONAL AND THE PEDAL PRESSES EASILY TO THE FLOOR. WE FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A DESIGN DEFECT AS A PARKING BRAKE SHOULD NOT 'WEAR OUT' THIS QUICKLY.*AK
