2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I HEARD OF A RECALL ON CNN, AND INVESTIGATED IT FURTHER ON YOUR WEBSITE, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000, DATED 8/29/05. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THEY INFORMED ME THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE STATE OF UTAH. MY ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE QUITE OFTEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE ME TO SKID, WHICH COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAS NOT YET TO DATE. WHERE THE RECALL IS KNOWN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WHEN I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE FLAKING AND CHIPPING ALONG THE INSIDES. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE REAR ROTORS. ALSO, HE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT ROTORS ALONG WITH THE ABS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. HE RECEIVED ANHTSA RECALL 05V379000 ON THE ABS. RECALL REPAIRS WAS PERFORMED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER PROBLEMS SINCE THE REPAIR. *AK UPDATED11/29/05. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED, AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. THE FUEL GAGE HAD NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN# 05V155000 CONCERNING FUEL PUMP FAILURE WAS ISSUED. THE AFOREMENTIONED SYMPTOMS WERE TYPICAL FOR FAULTY FUEL PUMP WIRING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER MADE CONTACT BY PHONE WITH BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER'S REQUEST WAS DENIED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK (12/02/05) *SC

CONSUMER STATES BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. BRAKE LINES TO REAR RUSTED THROUGH. REPLACED 4 LINES FROM FRONT TO REAR. *BF WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LINE RUPTURED CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DURING REPAIR OF THE BRAKE LINES THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SELF ACTIVATES AND WILL NEED NEW HUBS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WITHIN DAYS THE CONSUMER OBTAINED A COPY OF THE RECALL AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY APPLICABLE IN CANADA. *NM

DT:THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL PUMP SHORT CIRCUITED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND IT LOST POWER. HE MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. HE FOUND THE FUSE THA BLEW OUT AND CHANGED IT. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT CONTACT'S COST. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THERE WAS RECALL, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. *AK

GM RECALL; 05068 STATES "CERTAIN ...VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION TO MORE LIKELY OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF..." AND EXCLUDES MN AND WI. THIS IS DUE TO FEWER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS IRRELEVANT SINCE THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCE IS"THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKING APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN CRASH." THE ROOT CAUSE SEEMS TO BE SALT CORROSION AND THAT SHOULD DETERMINE THE LOCATION, NOT "COMPLAINTS, ACCIDENTS OR FATALITIES" AS I WAS INFORMED BY MY CALL TO GM. I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A VALID REASON WHY I AM SAFE FROM THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND USE MORE SALT THAN 50% OF THE OTHER STATES ON THE LIST.

DT: 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE . THE CAR WOULD BACK FIRE THROUGH THE FUEL INJECTION. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. *AK

DT: THE VEHICLE WILL STOP, BUT THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. MANUFACTURER'S RECALL # 05060 WAS ISSUED. THE CONSUMER COULD HEAR THE ABS KICK IN WITH EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM ON AUGUST 15, 2005. THIS USUALLY HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT. CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THIS ONLY APPLIED TO THE RUST BELT STATES. *AK *JB

MINNESOTA IS A "SALT" STATE. THE BEARING/ABS SENSOR ASSEMBLY HAS BECOME "BAD" ON MY 2000 TAHOE CAUSING UNWANTED AND UNSAFE ABS ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEEDS PARKING OR JUST BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP. THE RECALL SHOULD COVER MINNESOTA AS A STATE WITH CORROSION IMPACTS. A $35,000 VEHICLE 5 YEARS OLD, TRUCK CLASS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CONSUMERS TO PAY $578 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS AND UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW.*JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOMETIMES FEELS AS THOUGH IT MAY NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER FOUND RECALL 05V379000 ABOUT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE CONSUMER DID NOT LIVE IN THE STATE IN WHICH WAS AFFECTED, BUT HE FELT HE WAS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM AS NOTED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED GM AT THIS TIME. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS AT THIS TIME HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. *AK
