VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHENEVER I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I TRY TO MERGE ON TO THE FREEWAY. CHEVY STATED THAT THE CAR IS PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER IDENTICAL CARS, THAT DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE.UI. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
MEMORY SEATS WILL NEVER RECALL POSITION AND RANDOMLY CHOOSE MULTIPLE POSITIONS. MIRRORS, PEDALS, RADIO PRESETS ALSO RANDOMLY SELECT WHEN REMOTE KEY FOB IS USED OR WHEN KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION. ALL SEATING POSITIONS, PEDALS, MIRRORS MUST BE RESET EACH TIME DRIVER ENTERS VEHICLE. TSB REPORTEDLY ON FILE FOR ONE YEAR+ WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, BUT GM SAYS NO FIX.*AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
DEFROSTER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE CONSUMER GETS THE DEFROSTER TO COME ON IT DOES NOT CLEAR THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT STOPS WORKING. CONSUMER HAS TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAIT FOR IT TO START WORKING AGAIN. *AK MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *TT

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY TAHOE NEW IN SEPT. 2004. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASING TOOK BACK TO DEALER SHIP WITH VIBRATION IN BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER SHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT THAT IT WAS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND I SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING WITHIN 4-6 WEEKS. WELL IT IS NOW THE END OF JAN. AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT THE FIX WOULD BE AND THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE AND NOW YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AND IN PARK WITH OUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *NM

STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR
A KNOCKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. THE NOISE CONTINUED WHILE DRIVING, AND CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE WITH THE MAKE/MODEL, AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE. A SOLUTION WAS TO PACK THE STEERING SHAFT WITH GREASE. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM,BUT THERE WAS NO CURRENT SOLUTION. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO USE THE BRAKE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. MY 18-MONTH OLD SON DISCOVERED THIS WHILE WE WERE CLEANING OUT THE TRUCK AND IT STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NOT. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY HOW ALL TAHOES SINCE 2003 ARE PROGRAMMED TO WORK. THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOT CONSISTANT WITH THE OTHER KEY POSITIONS AND I FEEL IS A SAFTEY HAZZARD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE DISCOVERY OF THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE FOLLOW UP WITH GM TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE THERE ARE INJURIES OR DEATHS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE SOME FOLLOW UP WITH ME AS TO THE OUTCOME OF THIS COMPLAINT.*AK

STRUCTURE, SUSPENSION, STEERING
CHEVROLET TAHOE. SWERVED TO MISS A DOG AT 35 MPH AND LOST CONTROL. CAR VERY UNSTABLE. THE FASTER THE SPEED , THE HARDER IT IS TO CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE STEERING EVERY SECOND. IF IT IS WINDY OUT, IT WILL SLIDE OVER TO ANOTHER LANE WITHOUT NOTICE. CAR VERY TOP HEAVY. REPORTED THIS TO DEALER IN MEDFORD, OREGON AND THEY SAID THAT IS WAS NORMAL. NORMAL TO LOSE CONTROL SO EASILY?? PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY HAD 4,800 MILES ON IT AND SOLD IT THAT DAY. I AM A VERY GOOD DRIVER, NO TICKETS OR ACCIDENTS AND DRIVING OVER 45 YEARS. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING OR A CAR HAD BEEN COMING THE OTHER WAY, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT 60 TO 70 MPH, A CERTAIN ROLL OVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. CAR VERY UNSAFE. *NM
