STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT
THIS COMPLAINT WAS RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. HEARD SOME NOISE IN THE STEERING FROM THE DAY HE BOUGHT THE 2003 TAHOE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. THE CLANKING NOISE ONLY STARTED ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO, AND BECAME WORSE QUICKLY. THE CLANKING NOISE COULD BE FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT SLOWER SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON 1/03/05 WITH 28,400 MILES, AND DEALER KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. IN FACT, SOME PEOPLE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS 5,000 MILES. THEY REMOVED THE STEERING SHAFT, PACKED IT WITH GREASE, AND THE CLANKING NOISE STOPPED. WHEN NOT UNDER WARRANTY THE REPAIRS WOULD COST BETWEEN $75- S100. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD A STEERING SHAFT WAS NEEDED, HOWEVER IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY ANTI LOCKING BRAKES SEEM TO BE ENGAGING WHEN I BREAK AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN SLOW TRAFFIC WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON THE WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING, ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER WRECK...THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING TODAY. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME, JUST SOMETIMES. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL I BEGAN DOING RESEARCH.*AK

SUSPENSION
I DOING RESEARCH I NOTICED ANOTHER COMMON COMPLAINT FROM OTHERS ABOUT SOMETHING I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, MY STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN I AM CHANGING LANES, MY STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO TURN MORE THAN I WANT TO. THIS CAUSES A REAL SHARP TURN, AND I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL ONE DAY LOSE CONTROL AND FLIP MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE WITH ME. IS THERE SOMETHING I NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS? I ALSO SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT ABOUT ABS FAILURE AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN DO ABOUT THAT, ALSO.*AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE LT, ON FRIDAY JANUARY 21, 2005 THE BACK LIFT GATE WINDOW OF MY TAHOE EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS UNSURE OF WHAT HAPPENED SINCE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY AT THE TIME. HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED SINCE IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST TO MY WINDOW. HPD INFORMED ME IT APPEARED TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE WINDOW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT (NORMAN FREDE CHEVROLET) IN WEBSTER TEXAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INSPECTED THE WINDOW AND INFORMED ME THIS WAS THE THIRD TAHOE IN WHICH THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED IN THIS MANNER. I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND THANK GOODNESS I HAD NO PASSENGERS IN THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IF THERE HAVE BEEN 3 OF THESE INCIDENTS AT 1 DEALERSHIP, SURELY THERE ARE OTHERS. *NM

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY TAHOE NEW IN SEPT. 2004. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASING TOOK BACK TO DEALER SHIP WITH VIBRATION IN BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER SHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT THAT IT WAS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND I SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING WITHIN 4-6 WEEKS. WELL IT IS NOW THE END OF JAN. AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT THE FIX WOULD BE AND THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE AND NOW YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AND IN PARK WITH OUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *NM

UPON STOPPING ON SLICK ROADS, THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN ALL DAY, EVEN AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF. HAD TO REMOVE THE MAXI FUSE TO SHUT IT OFF. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER GM TRUCKS OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THIS IS A SMALL TOWN AND 3 VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL. *NM
