CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING, CHILD SEAT
NO SPECIFIC EVENTS. WE SIMPLY REMOVED THE CUSHIONS AND PADS FROM THE GRACE NAUTILUS BOOSTER SEAT AND NOTICED THAT THE BELT WAS COMPLETELY FRAYED. THE RESTRAINING SYSTEM HARNESS (WHICH LOOK LIKE SEAT BELT MATERIAL) WAS FRAYED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH. WE WOULD NEVER HAVE NOTICED IT HAD WE NOT REMOVED THE PADDING TO WASH IT.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
2006 TAHOE REAR LIFTGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK, NOR WILL WINDOW OPEN. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO OPEN MANUALLY. MY GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN RIDE IN THE REAR SEATS, AND THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO INSIDE HANDLE, EITHER. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS AN IDENTICAL MODEL IN WHICH THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED. GM SHOULD IN OUR ESTIMATION, RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE MOST EFFICIENT FIX WOULD BE TO HAVE KEY ACCESS TO UNLOCK. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING AT AROUND 67000 MILES. THERE IS NO MANUAL OR KEY OPERATED WAY TO UNLOCK THE LIFTGATE. IT FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRAP SOMEONE INSIDE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN WAS TO CRAWL INSIDE THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE, RIP THE PLASTIC TRIM PANELS OFF THAT COVER THE MECHANISM, AND THEN MOVE THE ACTUATOR BY HAND. WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT HE WANTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE LOCK ACTUATOR. I READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 CHEVY TAHOE REAR LIFT GATE OR WINDOW WILL NOT UNLOCK TO OPEN. CAN NOT MANUALLY OPEN FROM INSIDE VEHICLE DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION. GMC WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND TONS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN ALL MAKES OF GM SUVS. IT IS IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE Z71. REAR LIFTGATE FAILS TO UNLOCK. KEYRING AND DOOR PANEL BUTTONS UNLOCK ALL DOORS, BUT REAR LIFTGATE REMAINS LOCKED. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ACCESS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LIFTGATE AND THERE IS NO MANUAL LOCK RELEASE IN THE VEHICLE. LIFTGATE PANELS HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND MOVE THE LOCK TO DISENGAGE AND OPEN THE LIFTGATE. FURTHER INSPECTION AND TESTING SHOWED THAT LOCKING MOTOR WORKS TO LOCK THE LIFTGATE BUT THE MECHANISM FAILS TO ALIGN PROPERLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK, PREVENTING MECHANISM FROM DISENGAGING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LS 4WD I BOUGHT BRAND NEW MAY 2006. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 OR 4 TIMES BECAUSE IT KEEPS CLANKING/CLUNKING LOUDLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR STOP. IT CLANKS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP. IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH+ AND SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH OR LESS, THEN THE TAHOE CLUNKS LOUD ENOUGH PEOPLE ON THE STREET CAN HEAR IT. THE DEALERSHIP(S) CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM (ONE DEALERSHIP HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT WAS MY 3RD ROW SEAT). IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH A WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF OR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP. THE LAST DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HUB ASSEMBLY ON ONE OF THE WHEELS, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP...STILL CLUNK, CLANK. I CAN'T TELL IF THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE BACK FOR SURE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT. MY WARRANTY IS ABOUT EXPIRE AND I'M AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE/PROBLEM IF IT'S NOT RESOLVED. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
THE LIFT GATE AND THE REAR WINDOW ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL NOT UNLOCK AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE OPENED. THE LIFT GATE UNLOCKS WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE OR THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER DOOR UNLOCK BUTTONS, NEITHER OF WHICH PRESENTLY OPENS THE TAILGATE OR REAR WINDOW. THERE IS NO WAY A PASSENGER CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE TAILGATE AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ALONG WITH A USELESS CARGO AREA. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 50,000 MILES. *TR
