SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DT: THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT AN ABS PROBLEM. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE IN THE STOPPING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2004. RECALL 05V379000 WAS ISSUED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT WAS ON THE 1999 MODELS. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER HAD THE BRAKE PAD REPLACED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS. NOTHING FIXED THE PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 11/17/2005. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
DT: THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AROUND 8-1-05. AT THIS TIME ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH AREA STARTED FLASHING BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE BATTERY HAD BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE IT FAILED PREVIOUSLY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THEY BELIEVED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THEY TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. *AK *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
LOW SPEED ANTI LOCKING BRAKES ACTIVATE AND VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO CORRECT PROBLEM, BUT I'VE ALREADY HAD THAT DONE ONCE, AND AM HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN!!!! I DON'T BELIEVE THE RECALL FIX ISSUED BY GM WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM,, JUST PROLONG IT, CAUSING ADDITIONAL ACCIDENTS. *JB

POWER TRAIN
MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM PARK INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARD INTO THE STREET. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES OCCURRED AS MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO REACH OVER AND HIT THE BRAKES. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
MY COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH THE RUNNING LIGHTS AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE 2001 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAVE HAD MY RUNNING LIGHTS REPLACE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THERE IS AN APPARENT SHORT IN THE WIRING CONNECTION THAT WILL HAVE TO BE FIXED. MY PARKING AND ABS BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE LINES HAVE BEEN FLUSHED. THESE LIGHTS GO OFF ONCE THE CAR IS RESTARTED, BUT SOMETIMES COME BACK ON. THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TRIP TO THE MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES IS. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE, IN ORDER TO ENSURE MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. NOW AFTER READING ABOUT THE PARKING BRAKE, WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH MORE I WILL HAVE TO SPEND TO HAVE IT CHECKED TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM? SINCE THERE ARE PARKING BRAKE ISSUES, THE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AT THE COST OF THE COMPANY, NOT THE CONSUMER. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2002 CHEVY TAHOE HAS EXPERIENCED THREE FUEL PUMP FAILURES WITH THE LAST FAILURE BEING TODAY. IT COST ME IN EXCESS OF $ 850.00 TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AND TANK TODAY. ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE FUEL PUMP HAS GONE OUT. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM AS I BELIEVE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO LOOSE POWER IF TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED. *NM

AT LOW SPEEDS, ANTI- LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE. THIS CAUSES BRAKE FAILURE AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. BECAUSE OF MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS, WE HAVE SINCE PULLED OUT THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKE FUSE. THIS WAY THE BRAKES WILL AT LEAST STOP THE VEHICLE. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND UNDER THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE CAR WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY. THE CONSUMER HAS TO PUMP ON THE BRAKES TO STOP-SOMETIMES THIS DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKES. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS WERE MADE. AT ONE INCIDENT THE CONSUMER WAS TOWING A HORSE TRAILER AT 45 MPH. WHEN BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED, THERE WERE NO BRAKES, A COMPLETE FAILURE, CAUSING THE HORSE TRAILER TO JACKKNIFE. THE BRAKES FAILED AND ENGAGED AND FAILED AND ENGAGED AS REPORTED BY THE CONSUMER. THIS RESULTED IN THE TRAILER DAMAGING THE VEHICLE, TRAILER, AND INJURY TO THE HORSES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS MADE TO THE ABS SYSTEM AT THIS TIME. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: BEGINNING IN JULY, THE CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD FLUCTUATE. THERE WAS A FEELING LIKE BEING ON ICE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 85-90 PERCENT OF THE TIME. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WITH TIME. THE CONSUMER CHECKED ON THE RECALL 05V379000. HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THEY STATED THAT THE OWNER HAS THE OLD WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND THOSE WERE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO ALERT NHTSA THAT HIS VEHICLE STILL HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT REPAIRED IT YET. THE CONSUMER HAS ALMOST REAR ENDED A CAR DUE TO THE ABS ACTIVATION AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *JB UPDATE 1/11/2006 - *NM

SEATS
DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE FRONT SEATS WOULD SLIDE ON THE RAIL. THE PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN TO DO THIS FIRST AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW SLIDING ABOUT 5 INCHES BACK AND FORTH. THE GM MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAYBE THEY COULD WORK WITH HIM TO GET IT CORRECTED IF IT WAS A DEFECT. *JB
