STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THE STEERING APPEARS TO OVER COMPENSATE DURING CORNERING. IT FEELS AS IF THERE IS A SUDDEN BOOST IN POWER STEERING PUMP PRESSURE TO THE STEERING BOX. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER'S EXISTING TURNING PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN THE TRUCK TO ABRUPTLY DURING CORNERING. *AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE STEERING PROBLEM FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. IT SEEMS TO SLIDE FOR A SECOND AND THEN THE STEERING COMES BACK. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED LAST WEEK AND I JUST HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO CHANGE THE SENSOR AS WARRANTY WORK. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK YESTERDAY AND DID NOT NOTICE THE SLIDING ACTION ANY MORE, BUT IT HAS BEEN JUST ONE DAY. I'M SENDING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AND WANTED TO SUBMIT MY INFORMATION. *AK

#708102June 30, 1999
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY SON WAS DRIVING THE TAHOE ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. A PICKUP TRUNK PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIM. THE TAHOE HIT THE PICKUP TRUNK SQUARELY IN THE SIDE. THE AIRBAGS IN THE TAHOE DID NOT DEPLOY. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS IN THE PICKUP TRUCK DID DEPLOY. CHEVY SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE TAHOE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS IT HIT THE PICKUP TRUCK SQUARELY IN THE SIDE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHY WOULD THE PICKUP TRUNK AIRBAGS DEPLO,Y AND NOT THE TAHOE? PARTICULARLY SINCE THE PICKUP WAS ONLY HIT ON THE SIDE AND HAD VERY LITTLE FORWARD MOTION. DAMAGE TO TAHOE WAS RATED AT FD-5 AND TO THE PICKUP AT LD-6 BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BOTH VEHICLES WERE NOT DRIVEABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. MY SON WAS WEARING HIS SEATBELT AND ONLY SUFFERED FROM WHIPLASH. HOWEVER, ONCE THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED, HOW CAN I EVER TRUST THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AGAIN IF IT IS EVER NEEDED. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
WHEN WE TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE, WE NOTICED IT WAS SITTING AT AN ANGLE TO THE GROUND (IT SAGGED DOWN 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES ON THE LEFT REAR) IT LOOKED AS THOUGH THE BODY WAS TWISTED. WE WERE ASSURED THAT ANY PROBLEM WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. WE TOOK BACK THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES, 4 TIMES WE GOT A RENTAL VEHICLE TO USE. THE FIRST TIME WE LEFT THE VEHICLE, THEY CHANGED THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT HAD A 9 GAL. DENT IN IT ALTHOUGH THE SKID PLATE HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER; THE BUMPER WAS MISALIGNED; THE TAILLAMP WAS PROTRUDING AS WELL AS THE REAR-LOWER PORTION OF THE PASSENGER'S REAR WINDOW(TOO MUCH GLUE) AND THE TIRES WERE CUPPING. THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO ALIGNED AND BALANCE TIRES, HOWEVER WE HAD A GOODYEAR DEALER REBALANCE THOSE SAME TIRES TO GET THE VIBRATION OUT TO NO AVAIL. COURTESY SWAPPED DIFFERENT RIMS AND TIRES FROM ANOTHER TAHOE. NOW IT VIBRATES EVEN MORE! WE WERE TOLD TO BE @ COURTESY ON 6/14/99, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A MACHINE THAT WOULD PINPOINT THE SOURCE OF THE VIBRATION. WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE MACHINE AND INSTEAD SENT A MECHANIC ON A ROADTEST WITH US. WE WERE POINTING OUT THE VIBRATION TO HIM. HE THEN TOOK US OUT IN ANOTHER '99 TAHOE, THIS TIME THE RIDE WAS SMOOTH, HOWEVER THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT HAD A LOW SPEED VIBRATION(WHICH IT DID NOT). WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT THEY COULD WORK SOME FIGURES ON ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IF WE GAVE THEM $2,500.00 MORE DOLLARS, WE COULD GET THE IDENTICAL VEHICLE ON THEIR LOT. FIRST OF ALL, WE SPENT MORE THAN THE STICKER PRICE AND HAD THE ADD-ONS TAKEN OFF WITH NO CREDIT GIVEN TO US FOR THAT. SECOND OF ALL WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE W/ ONLY A FEW MILES ON IT. AFTER WE GOT IN THE TRUCK TO GO HOME(AFTER IT WAS PAID FOR), WE NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD 732 MILES ON IT!!! THEY SOLD A DAMAGED DEMO AS A NEW VEHICLE. MOST OF THE MILES PUT ON THIS TRUCK ARE FROM RUNNING IT UP TO PHOENIX AND BACK. WE HAD PRE-ARRANGED SERVICE TIMES AND WERE TURNED AWAY SEVERAL TIME
