I WAS DRIVING HOME & WHILE ACCELERATING I NOTICED MY TRUCK BEGIN TO REV & NO LONGER ACCELERATE,MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR & PUT IT BACK ON IT, I WAS IN AN 50 MPH AREA, & MY TRUCK JUST CONTINUED TO REV. I STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. I REPEATED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THEN I PICKED UP SPEED BUT ON TO ABOUT 35 MPH. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR. I MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I ORDER A NEW TRANSMISSION OFF EBAY, HAD IT INSTALLED & GOT MY TRUCK BACK IN ABOUT 3WKS. IN JUNE 2012 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED, MY TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR & MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION & IN JULY 2013 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I DID NOT GO GET ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. I STARTED ASKING AROUND & FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TAHOE TRANSMISSIONS. I THEN TRIED PUTTING LUCAS STOP SLIP & THAT DID NOTHING TO HELP THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I HAVE PUT TOO MUCH MONEY INTO NEW FACTORY BUILT TRANSMISSIONS & THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM. *TR

COMING TO A STOP THE BRAKES KIND OF SLIPPED AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD. ABS LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AND ALSO MADE A GRINDING NOISE. *TR

IT STARTED ON OCT. 15, 2013, I WENT OUTSIDE O START MY TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT START I HAD TO GET A JUMP FOR IT TO TURN OVER. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE STARTER RECENTLY. I HAVE TO PUT IT ON CHARGE EVERY OTHER NIGHT SINCE SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS CAUSING IT TO DRAIN. I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT ON AT NIGHT OR WHEN I PARK IT DURING THE DAY. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE WIRING ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING SOMETHING TO KICK BACK ON & RUN WHEN IT IS NOT STARTED. I HAVE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME YEAR TAHOE THAT I HAVE; BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ONE ADDRESSING IT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND COMING TO A STOP THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES SLIP AND GRIND WHERE IT TAKES TWICE AS LONG TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD ALL PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE ALSO TOLD IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THE ABS SYSTEM. *TR

I CAME OUT OF MY HOUSE, STARTED MY TRUCK TO WARM IT UP . THEN I DROVE TO THE CORNER OF MY BLOCK, AND MY BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PROCEEDED TO ADD BRAKE FLUID NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS . THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES, MY VEHICLE IS AN 02 CHEVY TAHOE . SO I DROVE THE CAR VERY SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY BACK TO THE HOUSE. I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET . WHEN I FOUND THAT THEIR WERE PROBLEMS SURROUNDING THE SPEED SENSOR AND BREAKING OF THIS VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED ON THANKSGIVING DAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET DOING 20 MPH WHEN I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR ENABLING ME TO STOP. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES I REALIZED THAT I COULDN'T SLOW DOWN THIS IS WHEN I USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES. AFTER MAKING A U-TURN TO COME BACK TO MY HOME, I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE AND SEEN THAT THE LINE WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS ALL RUSTEED. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD MY 7 WEEK OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
