STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEATS
WHEN I TURN THERE IS A POPPING NOISE THAT CAN ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING AND FEEL A BUMP. THE FUEL WILL AT TIMES SHOW A FULL TANK THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GO TO 1/4 TANK IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME AND IS NOT ACCURATE, I CANNOT DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IT ACTUALLY HAS. THE DRIVER SEAT HEATER GOT EXTREMELY HOT AND WE WILL NOT USE BECAUSE ARE SCARED IT MIGHT BURN THRU THE SEAT SINCE IT ALREADY LEFT A SMALL BURN MARK. THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ALSO DID THE SAME ON ANOTHER CHEVROLET WE HAD AND HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
1. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 55-65 MPS, MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE SHUT DOWN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME SEVERAL TIME UNTIL I FOUND OUT THE MILEAGE, FUEL AND THE HOLE SYSTEM WASN'T TELL THE CORRECT READING. 2. ALSO THE AIR STOPS BLOWING ON THE PASSING SIDE WHEN THE AS IS ON. WHEN THE AC IS OFF IT STILL BLOWS HEAT ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. 3. WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND STOPS AT A RED LIGHT THEN GET BACK ON THE GAS TO PULL OFF IT ACTS LIKE IT DON'T WANT TO PULL UNTIL I GET OFF THE GAS THEN GET BACK ON IT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. SO I HAD THE STRAINER, FILTER AND GASKET CHANGE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT STILL DOES IT. 4. WHEN I GET READY TO PARK THE TRUCK DOES PUT-PUT SOUND LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF THEN IT PICKS BACK UP. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
CAME OUT OF THE MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I LEFT A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID DOWN THE STREET. WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND HAD TO STOP WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I EXPECT TO PAY SOME $600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINE WHICH SHOULD CERTAINLY LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT FOR OWNERS. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS FIXED, AND CAN'T WAIT FOR A RECALL -- THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ANYTHING APPROACHING A SAFE MANNER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE WAS EXECUTING A TURN, HEADED DOWNHILL, AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, ONLY TO HAVE IT TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR, AND NOT STOP THE TRUCK. I HAD BEEN TOWING A TRAILER WITH SURGE BRAKES THE DAY BEFORE, WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE ACTIVATED WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS A FAILED FRONT BRAKE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ANTILOCK ACTUATOR, RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. I HAD ALSO HAD IT INSPECTED RECENTLY AND IT PASSED SAFETY. IN LOCATING THE BURST BRAKE LINE, IT WAS ABOVE THE FRAME RAIL, IN A SPOT I WOULD NOT EXPECT TO BE VISUALLY INSPECTABLE. I AM REPLACING ALL THE LINES IN THE TRUCK WITH THE SAME MATERIAL USED BY BMW AND VOLVO NOW, AND CONSULTING WITH MY SERVICE TECH ABOUT RELOCATING THE ANTILOCK ACTUATOR TO AN ACCESSIBLE AREA UNDER THE HOOD, FOR LESS LINE EXPOSURE TO ELEMENTS. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGED MOST OF IT'S LIFE, AND UNDERCARRIAGE WASHED AFTER EXPOSURE TO ROAD SALT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE A 2006 TAHOE AT WORK, GARAGED ALL IT'S LIFE AND RARELY DRIVEN IN WET WEATHER, 60,000 MILES, THAT HAD A REAR BRAKE LINE FAIL IN 2011 OR 2012. I'LL FILE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT FOR THAT, BUT AS A FLEET VEHICLE, IT'S MAINTAINED METICULOUSLY. IT'S ALSO ESSENTIALLY THE SAME VEHICLE AS MY 2001, WHICH HAD IT'S LINES LAST LONGER, BUT STILL FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. I WANT GM TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM. MINE WILL BE FIXED WITH BETTER MATERIALS, SO I DON'T WANT A RECALL ON MINE, TO HAVE CHEAP COST-CUTTER PARTS INSTALLED. I WANT THEM RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE LIKE MY DAUGHTER, AN INEXPERIENCED NEW DRIVER, HAS TO DEAL WITH A LOSS OF BRAKES DURING A NORMAL LIFE AND MAINTENANCE ROUTINE OF HER VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR DOOR ACTUATOR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME RESULT. BOTH PARTS HAVE FAILED. ONE AFTER MARKET PART THEN A PART FROM GM MANUFACTURE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE, THEREFORE A RECALL SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED TO RE-EVALUATE THE VEHICLES REAR DOOR SAFETY. *TR
