JUST AFTER PURCHASE, WHILE THEY WERE PREPPING MY NEW 07 TAHOE I NOTED THAT IT HAD A DENT IN THE REAR DRIVERS-SIDE DOOR IN THE RIDGE OVER THE REAR WHEEL OPENING. A COLLISION CENTER OWNER INFORMED ME THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT INSTALLING A NEW DOOR SKIN ON IT. THE SALESMAN HAD STATED THAT IT COULD BE POPPED-OUT. IT OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED AT THE FACTORY AS THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS SCRATCHES OR OTHER INDICATIONS OF IMPACT. *JB

THE HEATER FAN DOES NOT RUN WHEN I AUTOMATICALLY START THE VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE STARTER/KEYFOB. WHAT GOOD IS IT TO START YOUR VEHICLE TO WARM IT UP IF THE FAN DOESN'T START UP TO DEFROST YOUR WINDSHIELD? THE GM REMOTE STARTER WAS INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED BY THE DEALER AFTER PURCHASE. WHEN IT WAS CHECKED, THE FAN RAN AND THEN DIDN'T . I GOT IT TO RUN ONLY IF I AM 3 FEET AWAY AND START THE VEHICLE (OR SITTING IN IT) TOO FUNNY, I GUESS AT THAT POINT I MAY AS WELL USE THE KEY!@ *JB

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY TAHOE WHICH HAS 46K MILES. MY SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING ERRATICALLY. IT WILL NOT DROP LOWER THAN 70 MPH, OFTEN NOT DROPPING BELOW 80 AND EVEN 90 MPH. IT WILL TOP OUT ON THE FREEWAY AND EVEN DRIVING DOWN STREETS. I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS COMMON AND BEING QUOTED HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER AT OVER $1K OUT OF POCKET. PLEASE HAVE CHEVY RECALL THIS DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON OCCURRENCE. PLEASE MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP AND PROTECT HARD WORKING CONSUMERS WHO SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR CHEVROLET'S POOR WORKMANSHIP. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WAS POORLY VISIBLE DURING THE DAYTIME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED, AND DETERMINED THIS WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED.

THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WENT DOWN BY ITSELF, AND NOW IS INOPERABLE FROM EITHER THE DRIVERS ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCH OR REAR PASSENGER SWITCH, SO IT IS STUCK DOWN. ALL OTHER WINDOWS WORK FINE. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO ACT ERRATICALLY. SLOWLY BUT SURELY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM CRUISING SPEED UP THROUGH THE 120 MARK ON THE VEHICLE AND REMAINED FULLY PEGGED IN THE BLACK PORTION OF THE GAUGE. ALL DRIVING NOW REQUIRES DRIVERS JUDGMENT ON SPEED SINCE SPEEDOMETER IS INOPERATIVE. SPEEDOMETER CAN SETTLE AS LOW AT 40 MPH, BUT QUICKLY SKY ROCKETS AGAIN ONCE DRIVING COMMENCES. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS COULD FIX THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. NOT KNOWING THE SPEED OF A VEHICLE PRESENTS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SCREAMS NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY. FORCE CHEVY TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND THEY LEARN THE HARD WAY. *JB

2004 TAHOE SPEEDOMETER IS PEGGED FULL SCALE WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WITH ENGINE OFF. NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING SAME SPEEDOMETER RELATED PROBLEMS ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY THROUGH A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED NEW AND STILL OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THIS LIGHT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE CANNOT BE CORRECTED. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING WAY BELOW THE ACTUAL SPEED I WAS GOING. I'D HAVE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT AND KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL IT GETS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WHERE IT WAS FINE, THEN IT WOULD DROP BELOW 0 AT A STOP SIGN, THEN WOULD SHOW 10 MPH WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY DOING ABOUT 35. NOW IT'S DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE. THE OTHER NIGHT I LOOKED DOWN AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALMOST PANICKED BECAUSE IT SAID I WAS GOING 90 MPH! I WAS ACTUALLY DOING AROUND 50. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD RECALL. *NM

STARTED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 14,2006 SPEEDOMETER IS SHOWING AT BETWEEN 70 MPH AND 120 MPH WHEN AT FULL STOP. UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW FAST I AM GOING. INTERNET IS SHOWING THAT A LOT OF GMC SUV AND TRUCK OWNERS FROM 2003-2006 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. DEALERS AND MECHANICS ARE CHARGING BETWEEN $600-$800 TO REPAIR. *NM

THE CLUSTER IN MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE HAS FAILED. IT STARTED FAILING AT APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES. NONE OF THE GAUGES WORK PROPERLY. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST APPROX. $600 TO FIX. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THIS AT NO COST. *JB

WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2003 CHEVY TAHOE, WHICH ONLY HAS 51K MILES. CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY REGISTERED HER AS GOING 100 MPH. THE ENGINE WASN'T REVVING. SHE PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND IT REGISTERED HER DOING 120 MPH, WHEN SHE WAS REALLY ONLY DOING ABOUT 35 MPH. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $500. *NM
