ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL NOT START. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR OCCASIONS WHERE MY FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING READY TO TAKE A TRIP AND WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON IT WOULD NOT START. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE JUMP STARTED TWICE AND HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO ANTWERPEN CHEVROLET TWICE AND EACH TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REAL PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AN NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THIS HAS BECOME A BIG PROBLEM FOR MY FAMILY AND UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY HELP FROM ANYONE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS ON THE 10 FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, I FELT MY CAR STARTING TO SHAKE. I MOVED OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AND AT THAT TIME THE TIRE TREAD ON MY LEFT REAR TIRE CAME COMPLETELY OFF AND DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR SIDE. I CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE TIRE CHANGED AND WHEN THE TECHNICIAN ARRIVED HE CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE WHICH WAS 37 LBS. MY SPARE WAS PLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND I DROVE HOME. I CONTACTED AMERICAS TIRE CO. (I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN MARCH 2008 TO PREPARE FOR A TRIP AND THEY ROTATED AND BALANCED MY TIRES AND I WAS GIVEN THE O.K.) I TOLD THE MANAGER OF MY PROBLEM AND HE REFERRED ME TO COPPER TIRE CO. I WAS SENT A CLAIM PACKAGE AND WAS TOLD TO MAIL THE TIRE BACK FOR INSPECTION. ON JULY 10 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM WHICH STATED OUR CLAIM WAS DENIED. THE REASONS WHERE BECAUSE OUR TIRE HAD A LOOSE PATCH PLUG REPAIR AND WAS UNDERINFLATED. THEY ARE SAYING DUE TO THE PUNCTURE, WHICH THERE ISN'T ONE BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED IN 2006, THE TIRE FAILED. I CALLED AMERICAS TIRE AND TOLD THEM WHAT CRAWFORD HAD SAID ABOUT THE REPAIR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY FOLLOW CALIF. LAW WHEN DOING A TIRE REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE PATCH WOULD NOT CAUSE A SEPARATION OF THE TREAD, THAT IS CAUSED BY A COMPANY DEFECT. CRAWFORD CLAIMS THAT THEY TESTED THE TIRE AND REFUSE TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION. MY TIRE WAS REPAIRED IN OCT. OF 2006, IF THIS WAS THE CASE MY TREAD WOULD HAVE SEPARATED A LONG TIME AGO. IT APPEARS CRAWFORD IS USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE NOT TO PAY THE OVER $2,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. CRAWFORD CLAIMS WHEN A FLAT TIRE IS REPAIRED WITH A PATCH IT AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE. THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN EXCUSE FOR CRAWFORD AND COOPER TO NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGED TO MY CAR. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT PRO COMP HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME STYLE ALL TERRAIN TIRE NO. LT265/75R16 THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE ON MY VEHICLE SO THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TREAD SEPARATION WITH COOPER TIRES. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF THE FAULTY CHROME PLATING PEELING FROM THE INTERIOR DOOR RELEASE HANDLES,CAUSING A RAZOR TYPE CUT TO TIPS OF OUR FINGERS THEREFORE CAUSING LOSS OF BLOOD. THE INTERIOR DOOR RELEASE HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS RESULTING IN FAILURE SOON AFTER. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED 6/28/2008 WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE WHICH CUT MY FINGER. THERE IS NO VISUAL WARNING WHEN THE CHROME PLATING SEAM FAILS, BUT TO RECEIVE THE RAZOR 'LIKE' CUT TO THE FINGER WHICH IS VERY PAINFUL. OUR LEVEL OF CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BLOOD AILMENTS SUCH HAS DIABETES TYPE II,ENEMA, IS OF GREAT CONCERN. I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HAVING TO WRAP TAPE ON THE EXISTING HANDLES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TO PREVENT WHAT COULD CAUSE PERMANENT BODILY INJURY WHICH I FEEL IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF FURTHER INJURIES RESULT IN THE USE OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR A PERMANENT RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. YOUR CONCERN WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND DASH SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER. VEHICLE WILL ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. UPON RESEARCHING THIS THROUGH VARIOUS INTERNET WEBSITES, THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS AND IS HAPPENING TO A HUGE AMOUNT OF 2003 TAHOE OWNER'S AND IT'S ALWAYS A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM - YET GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM. ON A SIDE NOTE, HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIM. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, TIRES:TUBE, EQUIPMENT
IN THE PERIOD OF 4 WEEKS I EXPERIENCED TWO HIGH SPEED TIRE FAILURES WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN VIRGINIA. IN EACH CASE I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. IN EACH CASE THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND OFF THE RIM. AFTER THE SECOND CASE I CHOSE TO HAVE ALL FOUR TIRE REPLACED AND PRIOR TO ACTUAL REMOVAL I CHECKED THE TIRE STEM ON ONE OF THE 2 REMAINING (NOT NEW TIRES) AND DISCOVERED THE VALVE STEM HAD A SPLIT. THE SAME WAS DISCOVERED ON THE OTHER TIRE STILL ON THE VEHICLE. I ALSO CHECKED THE VALVE STEM ON THE LATEST TIRE THAT HAD GOBE FLAT AND IT TO HAD A CRACK. IT IS CLEAR THAT AT LEAST 3 AND MOST LIKELY FOUR OF THE VALVE STEMS FAILED CAUSING THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF TWO RELATIVELY NEW TIRES (LESS THAN 17 K MILES) AND ALMOST RESULTING IN TWO HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURE. ALL FOUR OF MY VALVE STEMS FAILED FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE DRY ROT WITHIN A FOUR WEEK PERIOD. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VALVE STEM HAD ROTTED OFF. AFTER PUTTING ON MY SPARE TIRE, I PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. TWO DAYS LATER, I HAD A FLAT IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. THE VALVE STEM HAD ROTTED. I CHECK MY OTHER TIRES, AND THE VALVE STEMS ON THEM WERE ROTTED ALSO. THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE VALVE STEMS ARE THAT OLD AS THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF TIRES/STEMS I HAVE PUT ON MY TAHOE. THE ALLSTATE SERVICE TRUCK HELPED CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ABOUT 30 MILES NORTH OF FT. PIERCE FLORIDA WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED. A FRIEND HAS GIVEN ME A PAPER THAT SAYS THERE WAS A MAJOR LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS VALVE STEM MANUFACTURE AND THAT DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY MY TAHOE DID NOT FLIP, BUT IT JERKED TO ONE SIDE, AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP. THE TIRE WAS RUINED. I AM THANKFUL THAT I AM STILL ALIVE. *TR
