PARKING BRAKE
MY VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING OUT OF ORDER. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BUT I DID A SEARCH FOR THE PARTS ONLINE AND CAME UPON A WEBSITE WITH MANY OWNERS OF MY VEHICLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THAT THIS MATTER CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS SOME SERIOUS INVESTIGATION TIME SPENT ON IT. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND I HAVE NOT ONCE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ONCE. *TR

STEERING:COLUMN
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE STEERING COLUMN RATTLES WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A BUMP. THE DEALER GREASED AND INJECTED THE COLUMN WITH A SPECIAL GREASE AT THE COST OF $100; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING FAILS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT SLOW SPEEDS AND USUALLY UNDER DAMP CONDITIONS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 2002 TAHOE TAKE HOLD WHEN I AM STOPPING AND ALLOW THE CAR TO CONTINUE AT LEAST 10 FEET AHEAD INTO THE ROADWAY WITH NO STOPPING THE VEHICLE. CONDITION CAN EASILY CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS. NO CODES APPEAR ON AUTO COMPUTER WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE IS A RECALL #05V379000 THAT EXACTLY EXPLAINS THE SITUATION BUT SINCE MY VIN# DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, CHEVROLET WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MARCH OF 2004. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES AND JUST DISCOVERED ON MY OWN THAT SEPT 22, 2005 THIS RECALL CAME OUT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO SIGEL CHEVROLET FOR THE THIRD TIME ON SEPT 14, 2005 AND WAS ONCE AGAIN TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION SO IT MUST NOT BE HAPPENING. WHEN I NEARLY HIT OUR GARAGE DOOR ON 11/16/2007 WITH MY HUSBAND AS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR, I WENT LOOKING FOR ANY RECALL INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS ONE OUT THERE BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT DID NOT APPLY TO ME AND SO DID CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO HAS A FILE ON THIS NOW (#71-578554426) BUT THEY STILL DENIED THERE IS ANYTHING THEY SHOULD BE DOING. ON 11/30/07 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AS SUGGESTED BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT I REQUESTED THE DEALER PERFORM THE REMEDY THAT IS EXPLAINED ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND I PAID FOR THAT SERVICE TO BE DONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY CHEVY TAHOE FOR JUST OVER 2-1/2 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME, MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE. THE SAME PART ALSO BROKE PRIOR TO MY OWNING THE VEHICLE. THREE TIMES THE SAME PART HAS FAILED YET MY VEHICLE HAS LITTLE OVER 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED BUT WAS FLAT DENIED ANY TYPE OF SUPPORT. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM, NOT THE UNSUSPECTING OWNER. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. NOTICED A FUTTER/RATTLING COMPRESSOR LIKE SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING. APPEARED TO BE FROM AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONDENSER & COMPRESSOR AIR VENTS IN THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE TAHOE WAS NOT COOLING OFF . WITH A/C OFF IT WILL NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. CALLER, TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. REPLACED TENSIONER PULLY, COMPRESSOR, AND NOW I AM TOLD IT WA S THE AC CONDENSER. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $1100, AND WARRANTY ONLY PAID FOR 1 ITEM. I NOW NEED $500 FOR AC CONDENSOR TO HOPE TO HAVE VEHICLE BACK TO FAIR CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE CHEVROLET TO RECALL/REPLACE THIS IN THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHERS DUE TO CHEVROLET KNOWING THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I WANT PAYMENT OF $800 PAID TO ME FOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES I HAD TO PAY WHEN THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 57,000 MILES ON IT. I OWN A 1999 PATHFINDER AND NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME AS SOON A SPOSSIBLE. *AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
I PURCHASED A 2002 TAHOE IN AUGUST AND RECENTLY NOTICED A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD LIFT THE HATCHBACK. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I COULD SEE THAT THE WHOLE HATCHBACK GLASS WAS SAGGING ON ONE SIDE. I REALIZED THAT THE COMPONENTS THAT HELD THE GLASS TO THE FRAME WAS BADLY CRACKED AND STARTING TO LET GO. I HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WAS TOLD THIS WAS A GLASS ISSUE, AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED TO HAVE A GM REPRESENTATIVE EVALUATE THE SITUATION TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE, $802.50, IN THE END THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE GLASS FOR ME.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE (CLUNKING) COMING FROM FRONT DRIVESHAFT WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING AND THERE IS SOME SMELL OF BURNING COMING ...NO PROBLEM OR NO NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I'M AFRAID THAT SOMETHING WILL BREAK ONE DAY AND I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER TRIED TO FIX IT TWICE BUT WAS UNABLE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT IT IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL TO HEAR THIS "SCARY NOISE". *TR

AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT
ON MARCH 20. 2007 I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM ONSTAR TELLING ME THAT A SAFETY FEATURE THAT I PURCHASED NEW WITH MY 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL NOT BE OPERABLE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2007. I WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE ONSTAR SYSTEM TO CALL 911 AUTOMATICALLY IN CASE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ABOUT 2 MILLION OWNERS OF GM CARS THAT WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

PARKING BRAKE
I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY TAHOE WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO GMAC FOR BRAKE INSPECTIONS WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT IS THE WAY EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE E-BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE (DRIVE) WITH THE E-BRAKE ON. NOW, I AM UP TO 70,000 MILES AND I'M SCARED THAT THE VEHICLE WON'T STOP WHEN I NEED IT TOO. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TAHOES IN YEARS 200-2003 DUE TO A BRAKE PAD ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *JB
