POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I HAVE ENCLOSED A LETTER WITH FAX DESCRIBING EVENTS. THANK YOU. NO COMPONENT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK THE CONSUMER WROTE A LETTER ON BEHALF OF HER SISTER WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. THE OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN A REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THAT STATE AND FOUND IT TO BE RARE AND VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT AGE/MILEAGE. HE ADVISED THE OWNER TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL. UPON CONTACTING GM, THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS NO RECALL. GM INSTRUCTED THE OWNER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE GM LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND MECHANIC AGREED THIS WAS UNUSUAL AND THAT GM SHOULD COVER AT LEAST 75 PERCENT OF THE REPAIR. BY THIS TIME, THE OWNER HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIR COMPLETED. *PH

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
BOUGHT A USED 2001 TAHOE JUNE 4, 2004. OPENED REAR GLASS ON HATCH MANY TIMES WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN LATE JULY MY HUSBAND OPENED AND ONE OF THE HINGES BROKE. THE METAL ACTUALLY TORE. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM THE WHOLE GLASS MUST BE REPLACED, THE HINGE IS PART OF THE GLASS. I HAVE SINCE HEARD "THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE" THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY TAHOE. WHEN THE SERVICE DEPART. AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ORDERED THE NEW GLASS, BY COMPUTER, THE PART # CHANGED MANY TIMES, AS IF MANY CHANGES HAD BEEN MADE AND EVENTUALLY THE PART (GLASS) HAD TO COME DIRECTLY FROM THE GLASS MANUFACTURER. OBVIOUSLY GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT HAD ONE OF MY CHILDREN, OR EVEN MYSELF WITH NOT AS MUCH STRENGTH AS MY HUSBAND OPENED THE GLASS ON THE HATCH,WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CATCH AND HOLD THE END WITH THE BROKEN HINGE RESULTING IN THE REMAINING HINGE "TEARING" AND THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY. MY TAHOE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 700.00 BILL THAT I TRULY FEEL GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE CHEVROLET LTD. SINCE 3/04 IT HAS FAILED TO START ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES. IT USUALLY OCCURS IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M LEAVING FOR WORK.

THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY WERE JUST REPLACING THINGS THAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. *AK
