LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 OR 6 TIMES, 2 OR 3 THE FIRST TIME AND 3 MORE THE LAST TIME A FEW WEEKS AGO ALL UNDER WARRANTY. THE TAHOE HAS 33K MILES ON IT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON EVERY DOOR AT LEAST ONCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AS SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY BY ACTUALLY PULLING UP THE DOOR BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. IN SOME CASES THE AFFECTED DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS PUT IN GEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CHILD OR AN ADULT INADVERTENTLY PULLING ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE DOOR SWINGING OPEN OR IN AN EMERGENCY NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER THROUGH ANOTHER DOOR CHEVY DEALER SUGGESTED I GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE AFTER 36K MILES IT WILL COST $325 A DOOR TO FIX THE FAULTY ACTUATORS WHEN THEY BREAK AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH ANY KIND OF DOOR LOCK ISSUES AND TO HAVE 5 OR 6 PROBLEMS WITHIN 3 YEARS IS A PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS ALIKE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2004 CHEVY TAHOE SPEEDOMETER IS DEFECTIVE AND READS INACCURATELY BY AT LEAST 15 TO 20 MPH. DOES NOT RETURN TO ZERO WHEN STOP, EVEN AFTER VEHICLE POWER IS TURNED OFF. BEGINS WORKING AGAIN AND WILL SOON THEREAFTER MALFUNCTION AS JUST DESCRIBED. THIS IS INACCURATELY CALCULATING MILEAGE, AND, WHEN I SPOKE WITH SERVICE PERSONNEL AT HUFFINES CHEVROLET, Q CHEVROLET AND CLASSIC CHEVROLET (ALL IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA), ALL ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM WILL NOT FIX AFTER 80K MILES. ALTHOUGH I'M INUNDATED WITH JUNK EMAIL FROM GM, THEY NEVER, EVER PROVIDED ME WITH ANY INDICATION THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE. NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) SHOULD NEVER, NEVER ALLOW THIS TO OCCUR. PLEASE INSIST THAT GM PROVIDE FULL REPLACEMENT, INCLUDING ALL PARTS AND LABOR, FOR SUCH A SERIOUS AND KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT.

MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ HAS CHROME DOOR HANDLES WHICH ARE ALL COMING LOOSE. TWO OF THEM ARE SO LOOSE THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO BREAK OFF. THE OTHER TWO LOOK AS IF IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WHEN YOU TRY TO USE THE HANDLE THAT'S LOOSE YOU CAN GET YOUR FINGERS CAUGHT UNDER THE HANDLE AND SMASH THEM UP IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL. *TR

THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM ANY OTHER CAR AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR MUST BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GENERAL MOTORS AND/OR INSURANCE CO (NATIONWIDE). *TR
