2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I WORK REPLACING TIRES. I NOTICED THE RIMS ARE BEING GOUGED ON THE INSIDES BY RUBBING ON THE DISC BRAKE HOUSINGS ON TAHOES AND SILVERADOS WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME GOUGES ARE VERY DEEP. *AK

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

CONSUMER STATES WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED BRAKE CABLE SNAPPED. CABLE WAS REPLACED, AND 28,000 MILES LATER. *AK *TS

ALTHOUGH THE DASH SAYS "APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK", MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO START ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN A HILL. WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS THAT HE HAD TURNED THE KEY HALFWAY BETWEEN THE OFF POSITION AND THE ACCESSORY POSITION AND IN THIS INTERMEDIATE POSITION THE VEHICLE FREELY SHIFTS OUT OF PARK WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE INDICATED IT IS THE BRAKE SHIFT LOCKOUT SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THAT SAFETY FEATURE. CLEARLY IF MY 3 YEAR OLD SON CAN GET AROUND THAT SAFETY FEATURE, IT IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE AT ALL. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD FAILURE. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, THEN STOPPED OPERATING TOTALLY. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING, FOUND OPEN CIRCUIT IN PC BOARD CONTAINED IN THE THE WIPER MOTOR HOUSING. LOOKS LIKE GM HAS STILL NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARE RECALLS ON EARLIER VEHICLES FOR THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE.*AK

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE AND DRIVING SHORT DISTANCE, THEN PARKING ON FRONT-END-DOWN SLOPE, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL (APX 1 GALLON) BEGAN DRIPPING ON GROUND FROM TOP OF FUEL TANK. I TURNED VEHICLE AROUND SO FRONT OF TANK WAS HIGHER THAN REAR OF TANK AND DRIPPING SLOWED AND STOPPED. MECHANIC SAID FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY ON TOP OF FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. MECHANIC NOW IN PROCESS OF REPLACING FUEL PUMP, AND WILL GIVE ME OLD PUMP. MEHCANIC SAID POSSIBLE CAUSE THAT HE HAS SEEN BEFORE IS DUE TO CORROSION, HOWEVER, VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ARID, DRY DESERT TEMPERATURE THAT IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO VEHICLE CORROSION. *AK

THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE 2000 OR NEWER CHEVROLET TAHOE FAILS OVER TIME EVEN IF THE BRAKE IS NOT USED. MY PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN USED THREE TIME IN THREE YEARS. EACH TIME WAS DURING THE VECHILE INSPECTION ONLY. THIS THIRD YEAR THE BRAKE FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE INSPECTION AGENT SAYS THAT ALL 2000 OR NEWER CHEVROLET TAHOES HAVE THIS ISSUE. GM HAS NOT PROVIDED A RECALL. IN (FLAT) TEXAS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM IN A MORE HILLY GEOGRAPHY.*AK

IT HAS BEEN NOTICED THAT OVER A COURSE OF TWO MONTHS AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE SIDE AIR BAG PLUG. *AK

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. *NLM CONSUMER HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTED TWICE. AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COULDN'T BE ADJUSTED. THE DEALER GAVE HIM THE SPECS FROM GENERAL MOTORS STATING THAT HE COULDN'T PARK HIS TAHOE ON A HILL WITH OVER A THIRTY DEGREE ANGLE. THE CONSUMER HAD PURCHASE CHALK BLOCKS TO PLACE UNDER THE TIRES WHEN PARKED ON A HILL. THE CONSUMER WASN'T INFORMED OF THIS BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *PH *JB

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE DOOR LOCKS UNEXPECTELY CAUSING CONSUMER TO BREAK A WINDOW TO RELEASE THE OCCUPANTS. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *PH
