GETTING BASEBALL EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE, THE POWER LIFTGATE ROSE ALMOST TO THE TOP AND THEN STARTED TO AUTO CLOSE ON MY SON. THE FORCE COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF SOMEONE WASN'T THERE. I'M A PHYSICALLY FIT MAN AND I HAD DIFFICULTY HOLDING UP THE LIFT GATE.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 11-11-15 I WAS SITTING AT AN ATM WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. LIMPED TO OUR MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $580. ON 5-28-17 MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE AND WAS LETTING MY SON OUT OF THE VEHICLE, HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND YET AGAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT THE VEHICLE HOME, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ONLY 2" OF FLUID WAS LEFT, CHECKED BRAKE LINES AND FOUND RUSTED OUT PLACES WITH FLUID LEAKING OUT. GOT THE VEHICLE TO OUR MECHANIC, SAME ONE THAT REPLACED THE FRONT LINES, HE ADVISED THE SAME PROBLEM, RUSTED OUT LINES. ESTIMATE TO REPLACE REAR LINES $540. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A "FLAW" WITH THAT YEAR TAHOE AND PICK UP TRUCKS. MY QUESTION IS IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE BRAKE LINES WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED??? IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM, NO BRAKES IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION!!!!!!! SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY TAHOE CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DASH. IT WAS PARKED, NO ONE HAD DRIVEN IT THAT DAY. I PUT IN A CLAIM WITH GM (CLAIM #SR 8-2955875514) AND IT WAS DENIED AS THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY TAHOE. THIS FIRE STARTED OUT OF NO WHERE. THANK GOODNESS OUR NEIGHBOR CAME BANGING AT THE DOOR TO LET US KNOW THAT OUR TAHOE WAS ON FIRE. WE WEREN'T HOME AT THE TIME BUT MY SON WAS, WE ARRIVED TO FIND HIM WITH THE WATER HOSE EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES THAT WERE COMING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I SENT THE PICS TO GM AND THEY JUST DENIED IT WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THERE WAS NO CURRENT RECALL. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHY THE FIRE STARTED NO ONE CAME OUT TO SEE THE VEHICLE.

THE EXTERIOR SIDE PANEL THAT SEPARATE FRONT AND BACK OF TAHOE THREATENS TO FLY OFF DURING DRIVING. IT'S PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY DRIVING FROM 50+ MILES PER HOUR. IT'S AS IF WIND IS GETTING UNDER THEM AND ITS ALWAYS A CONCERN THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OFF. WE OFTEN ARE STOPPING AND HITTING IT BACK IN PLACE. IF IT COME OFF IT WILL BE A $130-180 PIECE EACH SIDE AND COSMETICALLY UGLY FOR OUR VEHICLE AND A DANGER TO OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES AS A FLYING OBJECT. PLEASE RECALL THIS AS WE ARE HEARING FROM DEALERSHIPS IT IS A COMMON PART COMING OFF OF THE TAHOES. IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN JUST ONCE.
