2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *YH *DT

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH ON A SIDE ROAD VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY PULLEDTO THE RIGHT. VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING.BRAKE CALIPER HAD FROZE. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.AK

CONSUMER WAS IN TWO ACCIDENTS. ONE IN NOVEMER OF 2000 AND THE OTHER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN EITHER INCIDENT. CONSUMER DESCRIBED THE INCIDENTS TO A REPRESENTATIVE OF GENERAL MOTORS. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED, IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT THERE WAS ONE INJURY, IN THE SECOND ACCIDENT, THERE WERE TWO INJURIES. *JG

ON NOVEMBER 11,2000 I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION (NOT MY FAULT) AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THEN ON SEPT 1,02 WE HAD A ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 95 THAT WE TOTALED THE TAHOE AND THE BODY SHOP CALLED GM SINCE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AGAIN. MR. LATTERMERE FROM GM CALLLED ME AND TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE AFTER I DESCRIBE THE ACCIDENT TO HIM THAT , AS HE DREW A PICTURE ON PAPER, "THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED". I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT THAT A PERSON CAN DRAW A PICTURE AND TELL ME THIS. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION TO INSPECT THIS VECHILE AND RETRIEVE THE COMPUTER INFORMATION AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. GM SENT AN "INDEPEDENT" INSPECTOR OUT TO DO A REPORT BUT I HAVE NOTHING FROM HIM OR GM ON THE FINDING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR MR. LATTERMERE TO CALL ME TO NO AVAIL.*AK

DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $900.00 TO REPLACE REAR PADS, EMERGENCY PAD AND NEW ROTORS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR INSPECTION AT 74504 MILES AND REPORTED TO ME THAT THE PADS HAD 50% USAGE. NOW 9 WEEKS LATER THEY TELL ME THAT THE ROTORS HAVE A PROBLEM OF FLAKING AND THAT CAUSED THE UNUSUALL WEAR TO THE PADS. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS OCCURENCE IN AS LITTLE AS 11,000 MILES. IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE ARE MANY VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT COULD SUFFER BRAKING PROBLEMS WITHOUT DUE NOTICE. I WANTED TO CHECK IF THIS IS IN FACT A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, OR IF IT IS JUST A "SCAM" BY THE DEALERSHIP TO GET ME TO BUY NEW ROTORS, OR IF I WAS MISINFORMED AT MY LAST INSPECTION AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR ERROR.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING 55MPH HIT CONCRETE DIVIDER AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*JB

THE TOOLS PROVIDED TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE DO NOT INCLUDE THE ALLYN WRENCH NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE HUBCAP COVER ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES AND WHEELS, WITHOUT THE WRENCH THE TIRE CANNOT BE CHANGED, ALSO THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE MAKES NO REFERENCE TO THE WRENCH BEING INCLUDED IN THE TOOL KIT PROVIDED WITH THE CAR AND ALSO MAKES NO REFERENCE TO THE EXISTENCE OF A HUBCAP COVER OR THAT IT HAS TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO CHANGE FLAT TIRES. NLM

CONSUMER STATES INTERMITTENTLY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS IN THE UPWARD POSITION. THE CONSUMER WILL DEPRESS HARDER TO UNSTICK THE PEDAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD OR TAKE OFF WITH FORCE. THE DEALER IS AWARE. *JB *SCC

PEBBLES GOT INTO BRAKES DRUMS, CAUSING THE ROTORS TO STRIP ,RESULTING IN LOST OF BRAKES POWER.*AK

I HAVE HAD THE PS PUMP, STEERING GEAR BOX, FUEL PUMP, 4WD SWITCH, AND ALL ROTORS/ BRAKES REPLACED. MY SUNROOF RUBBER SEAL HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL MY WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY A GM DEALERSHIP FROM NORTH CAROLINA, MO & WA. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD, IT IS MORE FOR LOOKS. BUT I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THIS $38,000 MAINTENANCE TRAP. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTED WORK AND SERVICES.*AK
