2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 77 WHEN MY TAHOE STARTING TO BOUNCE ON THE FRONT END THEN STARTING FISH TAILING FROM WHITE LINE TO WHITE LINE TRIED TO CORRECT AND HAD NO STEERING. THEN WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD AND HIT A DRIVEWAY AND FLIPPED END OVER END THEN BACK OVER HEADED IN THE OPPOSITE WAY. THERE WAS A PERSON WATCHING THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND HE STATED THAT THE TRUCK WAS BOUNCING GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND FLIPPED. HAD TAHOE SERVICED IN MARCH FOR A POPPING NOISE AT RICHARD KAY SUPERSTORE IN ANDERSON SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE THEY STATED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. STATED WAS A STEERING SHAFT. THEY REPLACED IT. CALLAWAY WRECKER SERVICE STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE FRONT END THAT WAS VERY SUSPICIOUS. WITH ONE OF THE WHEELS AND WHERE WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN WHERE THE BOUNCING CAME FROM WHERE THE TIRE WAS TURNED SIDEWAYS . *JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 CHEVY TAHOE WHEN SHE LOST THE BRAKES. SHE SAID THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP VERY QUICKLY. I THEN DROVE THE CAR VERY CAREFULLY TO OUR LOCAL SERVICE STATION ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT ONE OF OUR REAR BAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING ALL HYDRAULIC FLUID TO BE LOST. THE REAR BRAKES HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE WITH THE MECHANIC, HE SHOWED ME ALL THE RUST UNDER THIS CAR. HE ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE OTHER BRAKE LINE WERE ALSO VERY RUSTED AND COULD FAIL. I REPLACED BOTH REAR BRAKE LINES WITH MATERIAL THAT WILL NOT RUST. IT WAS A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE JOB AND ALSO VERY COSTLY. PLEASE LET OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TO CHECK THEIR BRAKE LINES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN TRAVELING FAST ON A HIGHWAY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 53K MILES AND HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR MANY YEARS. IT AMAZING AT HOW MUCH RUST IS ON THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE GM WILL USE MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT RUST IN FUTURE AUTOMOBILES LIKE THIS!!! *TR

DROVE 2 MILES TO STORE NEARBY. PARKED VEHICLE WENT INSIDE STORE. WHEN LEAVING I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT USE THIS EXIT BECAUSE OF VEHICLE FIRE. FIRE INVESTIGATOR TOLD ME FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING OVERHEATED CAUSING BEARING GREASE TO ACT AS ACCELERANT CAUSING TOTAL VEHICLE FIRE. VEHICLE COMPLETELY ENGULFED WITHIN ONE AND ONE HALF MINUTES. VEHICLE TOTAL LOSS. *TR

MY FAN BLOWER STOPPED WORKING IN JUNE. TOOK MY TAHOE TO LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILED BLOWER RESISTOR. HE REPLACED THE RESISTOR ON 6/19. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THE FAN STOPPED AGAIN. ON 7/3 HE FOUND THE RESISTOR CORRODED AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS. HIS PARTS PLACE REPLACED THE RESISTOR ON WARRANTY. ON 7/4 THE FAN BLOWER BLEW UP. 1/3 OF THE BLOWER COVER IS MISSING (CHARDS). I WAS IN REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY, WITH THE AC RUNNING ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND HER A LOUD BANG AND A PUFF OF SMOKE CAME OUT THE GLOVE BOX. GM HAS SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETINS 11046, 10240 AND 10240A ON SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES, BUT THEY SAY THEY DO NOT COVER THE TAHOE. *TR

MY BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE BREAKING OFF. I HAVE FIVE GRAND KIDS THAT RIDE IN MY TRUCK AT TIMES. I DON'T WANT CARBON MONOXIDE COMING INTO MY TRUCK. THESE BOLTS SHOULD NOT JUST BREAK OFF, THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH CHEVY AND GM TRUCKS. THIS TRUCK WAS BUILD WITH FAMILY IN MIND. NOW BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE MYSELF AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IS AT RISK. *TR

REAR BUMPER (INSIDE AND OUT) HAS SEVERE RUSTING. AT FIRST PAINT BUBBLED THEN RUSTING SET IN FEW MONTHS LATER. I CALLED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR. A 7 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS SEVERE RUSTING. THE BUMPER LOOKS AS IF BELONGS TO A VINTAGE 30 YEAR OLD CAR! JUST NOT RIGHT AND EVEN MORE SO THAT GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 TAHOE BRAND NEW AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND IT HAS BEEN A GREAT, SAFE CAR. FOR CHRISTMAS WE WERE OUT OF TOWN VISITING FAMILY AND WHEN WE ARRIVED TO UNLOAD THE CAR, WE DISCOVERED THE LIFT GATE AND THE GLASS WERE STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION. WE COULD NOT GET EITHER OPEN TO LOAD|UNLOAD OUR LUGGAGE AND|OR GIFTS. THERE IS NO MANUAL KEY HOLE IN THE BUTTON, WHICH I FIND ODD THAT SOME MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAS THEM AND SOME DON?T. I AM CONCERNED THAT SINCE I HAVE A 3RD ROW OF SEATS, AND IN MY EYES WITH PASSENGERS IN THE BACK ? THEY CANNOT GET OUT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY. TO ME, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE AND GM SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY OR NOT. *TR

2005 CHEVY TAHOE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND HIT FRONT DRIVERS SIDE INTO DIRT EMBANKMENT AT 35-40 MPH PUSH DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BACK ABOUT 3" AND BUCKLED HOOD AND FENDER AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. *TR

I WENT TO THE STORE APROX AT 8PM AND GO BACK APROX AT 915PM AND PARK MY CAR. APROX AT 11PM MY NEIGHBORS CALL US AND SAID THAT MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THIS STARTED APROX FROM THE ENGINE PART. *TR
