2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DRIVERS DOOR TOOK A DIRECT HIT FROM A SEMI AT AN INTERSECTION AND NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED. *AK

PRIOR TO RECALL REPAIR 01V-067 FOR THE SLIDING DOOR ACTUATOR THE VEHICLE NEVER EXHIBITED ANY SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL, AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE A MODULE WAS REPLACED AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE, THE DAY AFTER REPAIR THE DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON SEVERAL OCCASION BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR WOULD OPEN WHILE THE VHEILCE WAS IN MOTION. NLM

WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER SUFFERED INJURIES. *YH

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE WILL DIE WITHOUT A PRIOR WARNING. CONSUMER IS CONCERNED BECAUSE IS WILL CUT ALL THE ENERGY ON VEHICLE. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER, THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS DUE TO FUEL BEING USED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND WHEN MAKING A STOP , VEHICLE SLAMS INTO GEAR VERY HARSHLY. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 6 OTHER CHEVROLET SPORTS/UTILITY VEHICLES (IE TAHOE OR TRUCK) ABS MODULES, AND BELIEVED THAT THE MODULES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A FAIRLY SMALL DEALERSHIP. CHEVROLET DISMISSED MY REPORT BECAUSE THE TRUCK AND TAHOE WERE DIFFERENT MODELS. HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE TAHOE/SUBURBAN AND TRUCKS ARE THE SAME BASIC VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR THE CHASIS.*AK

TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE 29 IN MISSOURI AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, HAVING DRIVEN FOR TWO HOURS IN 65 DEGREE WEATHER, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SEPARATED, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE TAHOE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM ITSELF ON THE OUTER SIDE. THERE IS NO SIGN OF A BLOW-OUT; WE HAVE KEPT THE TIRE AND TAKEN PICTURES TO HOPEFULLY HAVE THE SITUATION DIAGNOSED. HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TIRE MALFUNCTION OF THIS TYPE IN OUR LIVES. AS I WAS DRIVING ON AN UPHILL GRADE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, PRESUMABLY THIS MADE IT EASIER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BEFORE I COULD HAVE ROLLED DOWN A SLIGHT EMBANKMENT. PLEASE ADVISE. . .THIS SERIOUS MALFUNCTION COULD EASILY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)

THIS TIRE BLEW UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 4 CHILDREN ON 87NORTH. I WAS ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR ALTHOUGH I WAS PETRIFIED. THE TOW GUY COULD NOT CHANGE THE TIRE BECAUSE THE EXPLOSION RUINED THE HOIST MECHANISM TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE. WE WERE FLATBEDDED TO A REAPIR SHOP. WE HAD TO BUY A TEMPORARY TIRE. THE NEXT DAY WE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH MICHELIN TIRES, NEVER WANTING TO OWN FIRESTONE TIRES AGAIN. EVERYONE WHO SAW THE TIRE SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T FLIP AND THAT WE DID NOT INCUR SERIOUS INJURIES. I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION DID NOT RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES. THIS TIRE WAS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS SO THEY DON'T GET HURT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT FIRESTONE REIMBURSE US $666.83 FOR THE EXPENSES INVOLVED IN THIS ORDEAL. SINCERELY, LISA QUATTROCCHI. *AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)

UNABLE TO GET EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE DOWN FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, AND WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. *AK CONSUMER STATED THAT THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WILL ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. *SLC

THE BRAKES FAIL UNDER PANIC STOPS,. THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES WERE STILL UNSAFE. *YH
