2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

AT 850 MILES STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHIMMY, HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER 3 OR 4 TIMES.DEALER COULD NOT FIND CAUSE. ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH GETS WORSE AT 70 MPH. *AK

DRIVING ON CLEAR PAVED ROAD 30 MILES PER HOUR RIGHT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FELT FLAT. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND FOUND TIRE COMPLETELY FLAT AND RIPPED OPEN AT TREAD LINE ABOUT HALF OF THE FULL CIRCLE OF THE TIRE. WE CHANGED TO SPARE AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO FIRESTONE RETAILER IN SCOTTSDALE AND SHOWED HIM TIRE. HE CLAIMED WE HAD RUN ON IT AND CAUSED TREAD SEPERATION. WE RAN ABOUT THIRTY FEET AFTER FEELING TIRE GO FLAT.TO PULL OFF ROAD AND SAFELY STOP ON SIDE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 50 YEARS AND EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FLATS UNDER FAR WORSE CONDITIONS AND NEVER HAD A TREAD SEPERATE FROM THE SIDEWALL LIKE THIS.I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU THE TIRE SO THAT YOU MAY SEE IF THIS IS FAULTY MANUFACTURE AND IF WE CAN GET RID OF THESE TIRES AND GET SOME REPLACEMENT COST. WE DONT FEEL SAFEW DRIVING ON THEM. THANK YOU ALLAN AND BARBARA STANLEY (DOT NUMBER: 114S M+S TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

THIS TIRE HAD A MAJOR BLOW OUT THROUGH THE SIDEWALL. SIDE WALL HAD A MAJOR SPLIT ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE. NOTHING WAS HIT. THE VEHICLE CROSSED 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE CONTROL WAS ESTABLISHED. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN PICKED UP THE 2 DAYS BEFORE AND THE AIR PRESSURE CAN NOT BE VERIFIED. TIRES DID NOT APPEAR TO BE UNDER INFLATED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: PD70 TIRESIZE: P245/75R16)

BRAND NEW 2000 TAHOE Z71 4WD SUV WITH 7000 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMETALY 35 MILES PER HOUR, THE TIE ROD FELL OFF CAUSING VIOLENT STEERING PROBLEMS. I MANAGED TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS. *AK

DEALERSHIP DAMAGED BODY WHILE REPLACING ENGINE, WAS ALERTED TO THE OBVIOUS DAMAGE AND REPAIRED. *AK

LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THE TIRE WAS DISCOVERED DEFECTIVE WHEN IT WAS SPIN BALANCED AFTER A TIRE ROTATION. ORIGINALLY IT WAS ON THE REAR, BUT WHEN MOVED UP FRONT A VIBRATION WAS NOTICED. IT WAS CHECKED AND BALANCED, BUT COULD NOT BE BALANCED. IT APPEARED WARPED AND WOBBLED WHILE ON THE BALANCER. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE EARLY ON, BUT WASN'T NOTICED UNTIL IT WAS PUT UP FRONT. TRIED PUTTING ON OVER 4 OZ. OF WEIGHT ON EACH SIDE, BUT STILL WOULDN'T BALANCE. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE INITIAL SIGNS OF BELT SEPARATION? (TIRESIZE: 265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/70R16 )

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK A THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. TWO OF THEM INFORMED ME THAT THESE CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE CAN DO. WALLACE LUNDGREN AT LEAST KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND APPARENTLY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING INTERMITTANTLY AND ME BEING AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN KNOW HOW HARD INTERMITANT PROBLEMS ARE BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT INTERMITANTLY HAS NO BRAKES SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT LUNDGREN CHEVROLET GAVE ME A 2000 SUBURBAN AS ALONER AND GUESS WHAT NO BRAKES INTERMITTANTLY. ALSO MY SERVICE MANAGER FRED SCHARNBERG HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS NEW 2000 SUBURBAN. I BELIEVE G.M IS ABOUT TO HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM WHEN THESE VEHICLES START KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CAN'T STOP. *AK

VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL DOORS/WINDOWS. WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE AND TWO REAR WINDOWS WILL NOT GO DOWN AT ALL. HE HAS CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. *AK
