SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ABS MOTOR STARTED TO RUN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, BUT THE ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN. I HAD TO GO UNDER THE HOOD AND PULL THE FUSE TO PREVENT THE MOTOR FROM BURINING OUT AND TO PREVENT THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE DEALER WANTS $1000 TO REPLAVE THE EBCM, BUT SOME COMPAINES ON THE INTERNET WHO WERE FORMED SOLELY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WILL DO IT FOR CHEAPER. THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTENET SITES WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL TYPES OF CHEVY TRUCKS FROM 1999-2003.*AK

ON AUGUST 3, 2003, CHRISTOPHER MOFFEIT, AUDREY MOFFIET AND THEIR TWIN DAUGHTERS, MACKENZI MOFFIET AND MALLORY MOFFEIT, WERE INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ROLLOVER ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING IN THEIR 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE. MACKENZIE AND HER SISTER, MALLORY, WERE SECURELY BUCKLED INTO THEIR CHILD SAFETY SEATS WHICH WERE FASTENED INTO THE BACKSEAT OF THE TAHOE WITH SEATBELTS. FORENSIC EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE SEATBELT SECURING MACKENZI'S CHILD SAFETY SEAT RELEASED DURING THE ROLLOVER COLLISION. MACKENZI'S CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS EJECTED FROM THE TAHOE. AS A RESULT OF THE INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED, MACKENZI PASSED AWAY SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. FORENSIC EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE SEATBELTS OF CHRISTOPHER AND AUDREY ALSO RELEASED DURING THE ROLLOVER COLLISION.

PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS
PARKING BRAKE PREMATURE WEARING RESULTS IN VEHICLE THAT CAN ROLL DOWN A HILL AND CAUSE INJURY OR ACCIDENT. WITH 28,000 MILES ON MY 2001 CHEVY TAHOE, THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. AFTER PAYING THE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE SHOES WERE WORN. I WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER NEWER MODEL TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME CONDITION. THE SERVICE TECH SAID, "DRIVING JUST 10 FEET WILL WEAR THEM OUT." I INFORMED I DO NOT DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE ON. ON PERHAPS 2-3 OCASSIONS DID I MOVE WITH THE BRAKE ON AND ONCE THE CHIME SOUNDED IT WAS TAKEN OFF. DRIVING 10 FEET IS HARDLY ACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS BUILT-IIN REQUIREMENT FOR SERVICE THAT MAKES THE DEALER HAPPY AND CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO MAKE ANY "GOODWILL" GESTURES, CITING THIS WAS A WEAR ISSUE. *LA

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
NEITHER ONE OF THE ELECTRIC PASSENGER WINDOWS WILL WORK. ONE WILL WORK AT TIMES AND THEN AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN OR UP. THIS COULD PURPOSE A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE WITH SMALL CHILDREN. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BREAK A GLASS TO GET IN THE PASSENGER WINDOWS IF NEEDED. CHEVROLET SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THE TAHOE. I WOULD BE GLAD TO KNOW THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *LA
